Which is all to say that our society is simply designed really poorly for the idea of personal health responsibility.

And that's not even mentioning the insidiousness of our advertising, which is in its bare essence, brain washing.
When you have a whole society based on consumption, it's hard for me to consider it could all be solved by some "personal responsibility".
But governments stepping in to curb these issues ends up cutting into profits.. and god forbid we do that.
