You can’t get enough… Enough!

There’s too much sugar and water in low-quality food. That makes people crave for food without limits.

The community pays for the care associated with the illnesses this ultra-processed food causes, while manufacturers are subsidized with community money to be cheaper. With the welfare state, margins made by industrialists have increased. Poor quality food is cheaper to the consumers thanks to the subsidies. Poor-quality food costs the community far too much.

We should be subsidizing good-quality, environmentally-friendly and worker-friendly food. Controlling prices is also necessary.

The same phenomenon can be seen with companies who can’t get enough of our money. They pollute enormously. They want more and more money for their shareholders and bosses. They never have enough. This is not limited to the food sector. Not only are some poisoning us with their food (that we buy more and more because of the craving feeling it creates) but they also poison our democracies by corrupting politicians and scientists to make their poisons legal. Thus craving for more and more money.

We should limit the amount of money one can earn or our democracies are at risk of corruption, of being under the influence of the wealthiest instead of being under the influence of the most numerous.
