Well there is a reason the top American addiction specialist companies (cigarette industry PM, etc.) bought up all the processed food companies....they had the method but needed to diversity the market because of the backlash & lawsuits for cigarettes.

Now who would sue a company for producing a daily necessity? At the end of the day all they'd be required to do is soap a label on it saying 'part of a balanced diet' or some such bullshit.

America is driven by addiction.
