14. I am not passing propaganda. That's kinda conspiracy theorish.

I am saying I cannot turn on the TV without seeing massive advertising of processed and nutritionally empty food. I rarely see anything about organic or gluten-free or GMO-free. It is like you resent that fact that they exist, and don't want others to have a choice. All it is, is a choice. I don't even push my cart down the cereal and cookie aisles, others can zip right past the organic vegetables. I could see someone being upset if eating puffy cheesy chemical things was advertised heavily - and that they cost an amazing $4 or more a bag! - oh, wait, bad example. Oh, maybe being upset that corn is advertised as a vegetable - oh, wait, etc.

In fact, I just saw a commercial that says I can get all kinds of protein out of this breakfast cereal! If I pour milk on it!

The problem is the heavily advertised foods. The cheap shit. I guess that's the easiest stuff to turn a profit on, though.
