1.6+ million deaths YEARLY are directly caused by diabetes[1]. According to your logic, shouldn't the government mandate that all restaurants only be allowed to sell healthy foods? Better yet, let's have Google and Apple build an app that tracks everyone's blood glucose, so we can only purchase foods that keep us below our daily blood glucose allotment. And while we're at it, let's have Twitter/Facebook/Google/Etc censor any searches for cheeseburgers/milkshakes/butterfingers. Oh and Bill Gates wants to help, so he's working on a sugar vaccine (but will require 50% of the vaccine patent royalties paid in advance).
