More information would be good yes. However, we don't need to turn it into one of these lawsuit traps. Cigarette companies knowingly tried to make their cigarettes both more addictive while making them more dangerous. There may be a tiny bit of info to show this in some food companies, but not to the extent cigarette companies did it.
They knowingly made sure the nicotine can get to your brain in seconds, when in the first cigs it took minutes. That's why there are all those chemicals in them. To get the nicotine to your brain as quick as possible.
That's pretty disgusting if you ask me. Yes some companies put additives in food to make them taste better, perhaps even 'addictive' in ways. But no one, as far as I know has tried to engineer a burger to get drugs to your brain faster.

We need to eat, but do we need to eat such high calorie food.
How many people were under the impression that eating at Earl's was as bad for you as it turns out it is? Obviously these restaurants are
knowingly hiding information from you.
I never said anything about lawsuits, as a I disagree with the smoking lawsuits as well. Many of them by people who continued to or started smoking long after they knew it was bad for you. I am all about personal freedom. I just think that freedom should be based on informed choices. More information is never a bad thing
