Maybe McDonalds, ADM and other food companies are also not being responsible citizens. They could be causing people to want foods that they didn't want before. It's easy to see the ads for how great a $1 double cheeseburger is, but it takes some effort to discover the downsides to it, like calories, fat, white flour, even HFCS in the buns, ketchup and pickles. Maybe McDonalds is being irresponsible when it doesn't point out the possible side effects of a double cheeseburger. Yes, individuals are responsible for what they put in their mouths, but corporations are also partially to blame when they spend millions to trick, cheat and deceive the consumers.
