Ah, Dave goes for the ad-hominem again.

Did I say that?

At most, I suggested that the gov't banning competition &
free markets from the sugar business had helped create the
situation of Americans consuming such tremendous amounts of
sugar.

I got the idea you were in favor of free markets?

In the ideal world, people would look at the advertisements
for cheesburgers & fatty salty snacks and say "no thanks,
I'm not hungry just now." In the real world, advertising
works. Kinda scary if you think about it.

??? Identifying you as the individual who posed the issue is a personal
