Junk food may not be as toxic as cigarettes (honestly not sure), but the current attitude towards the poison we eat has to start changing in the same way cigarettes were slowly made a taboo.

Example: as a kid, I loved breakfast cereal, obviously, because it's formulated to be hyoerpalatable and irresistible. And the Saturday morning cartoon commercials for that poisonous slop made sure it was my go to breakfast. And then my teenage years were a constant struggle with my weight because no one tells you that eating pounds and pounds of sugar every week in the form of "this complete breakfast" is going to be really bad for you. I literally did not have a single fuckin clue that breakfast cereal and orange drink are poison.

People need to be told all this ultra processed slop isn't food. It's actually really bad for you. Just like cigarettes. And the same advertising bans should apply.
