It's been mentioned before but rat studies are pretty much worthless. The rat judges it's eating based on it's brain's/body's reward response as it cannot rationalize. And while I love pizza and Oreos as much as the next guy, my brain is a human brain with rational thought and I know the consequences of eating an entire pizza everyday will make me fat. Therefore I choose other foods, since I can also read about nutrition values of food and make informed decisions.
We are humans, we CAN and SHOULD make rational decisions about food. We SHOULD also stop blaming food companies when the average American consumer won't take the time to be even slightly educated about food or how to even read of food label.
