Oh my. Yeah. I don't visit take out joints either.
Good point. I didn't mean to say that companies selling vitamin supplements (as an example) are responsible for vitamin deficiencies, although my broad and imprecise language might indicate something like that. I suppose the point I was making is that there's plenty of shit out there being sold that simply isn't needed but is advertised as though we do.

Selling solutions to problems of one's own manufacture is therwise known as a racket.
Racket is one way to generate profits without enriching society. Countries that protect racketeering as legitimate business model is doomed to terminal economic decline.
Watching advertisements irritates me. They're disgusting. Creating problems and then offering the solution -- at a price. Emotionally blackmailing and psychologically manipulative. Everything must be packaged and branded, marketed and capitalised on! My personal solution is not to watch TV, read magazines, or listen to the radio.Good point.
