We have history. The tobacco industy did exactly what I suggested. Not only that, who was notified of pink slim? Regardless of whether you htink it is bad or not, people were not told it was in their food. As much as I have a responsibility for my decisions, a company or coproation has a responsibility to be a good and responsible business person. Responsibility does not swing one way.
I am arguing this debate over what is happening now, not in the past. Cigarettes have and had labels like this:
Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health (1966–1970)
Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health (1970–1985)
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy. (1985–)
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health. (1985–)
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight. (1985–)
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide. (1985–)

Doesn't seem like that big of a secret and since nobody has anything else to add it seems like the argument is over and people are solely responsible for what they ingest.
