that's right
There's too much information required for everyone to make perfect decisions at all times and there's a reason we put warnings on things as a result. Some of it is really fucking obvious that you shouldn't do, some of it isn't. We put on acetaminophen that you shouldn't take more than 3g a day and most boxes/bottles explicitly state no more than x pills every x hours based on the dosage of the pills. What about the people that bought loose caffeine powder to manually add it to things they make like protein smoothies that when not given a scoop in the container put too much caffeine in and end up dying? The world wants caveat emptor to the end of the earth when in reality half this shit is dangerous off the factory line.
How about HFCS? It's in fucking everything in the US, you can't escape that corny goodness. It's not healthy, but it won't kill you in a day, is it the "consumer's" fault that they got life long diseases due to not knowing enough to pick better options or rather, didn't have better options even available?
They're killing enough of us already, we don't need to carry water for them.
