You extrapolated that on your own, based on an assumption. I called for moderating it's use. That was responsibility right there.
Anyone can criticize Big Agra/Food and not buy their products. It's called having an opinion on the thread title:
Sugar is bad for you. Topic was not about personal responsibility but the characteristics of sugar if'n' you noticed. Responsibility is another angle. I addressed sugar. It was educational which affects the market. Food companies have responded to a degree from that. After that others can choose to act based on that or not.
So quit being a jerk and read with comprehension. That would handle your confusion. Also, I am not a libertarian. I just know big agra is in bed with govt protecting them. Corny syrup is even worse and that's due to govt policies that it's in so many many things. No it's not the same as in it's just another calorie it metabolizes differently.
I buy natural and organic food and little sugar except for special occasions. I am sensitive to cane sugar but not beet sugar. I have often posted I use Stevia. You know what ASSumptions make you?
So where's the lack of responsibility? Nowhere.
As for someone calling out posters for criticizing the big food companies denying them their right to an opinion, that also doesn't mean those doing the criticizing buy those products either. Afterall, organic food purchases grew 14% from 2013-14 and more natural food markets are opening.
