That tub of butter/suburban life style TASTES good and it's their choice and they deserve it and how dare you try to save them from them selves. It isn't a matter of living or dieing, it isn't a matter of how long that lifestyle can last, it's a matter of 'preferance' or what 'feels good' at the time.
Except ,of course, that it doesnt actually taste (or look, or feel) good. And its not actually a question of trying to save themselves, its a question of stopping subsidisation of a lifestyle that is destructive to themsleves, their neighbours, their community, their city, their country, and the world.
