In a free society as ours, you can't expect a company to avoid profits because their product is considered unhealthy -- look at the cigarette industry!

Sugar sells because consumers buy it. there're always going to be people willing to make a profit off of dopes eating junk food (and we've all been there!).

However, although I'm glad we're free to make a buck (many societies aren't) companies can only do so if the consumer wants to buy their product. So it really does come down to us educating each other to not want those products. And, hellooo, us lcarbers are finally getting through. We're changing the damn food industry. We're getting through to the restaurants, including McDonalds. When low fat was the prevailing health fad, it sold well making a lot of money, for decades. Hopefully, lc food will takeover and last a lot longer.

As Atkins himself says, we're revolutionaries and we must continue the fight for change!
