Cigarettes have been labeled as deadly since 1963. How many people do you know who started smoking AFTER 1963?
(I agree they should carry the warning... but beyond that, you are on your own)
Likewise food. How would we "label" a donut? How would we label prunes? "Caution - may cause diarrhea?"
I don't mean to be facetious, but most people have a pretty decent basic idea about healthy versus non-healthy food. Its all about choice.
Each one of us is free to make the right choice or not. Regardless of whether that choice is HARD or not. If we set out to do something HARD, then we work harder at it, or ask for help.

Fair enough MM, maybe we have different views. I personally think quitting junk food is harder, for a lot of people who grew up on it, than consensus believes. It goes to the core of addiction.
Ask a teenager smoker why he doesnt quite. He replies, I could quit if I wanted to. So why dont you? He replies...because I like it.
All I would say about choice is be careful. In many ways choice is an illusion. Sure we have perceived choice, but think about your life, and the people you meet and the path you follow...was it really choice, or was it augmented by the people around??? I didn't choose my friends, they happened. I thought I chose them, but even when i positively chose them, it was probablybecause of some criteria. Just like what food I eat or have become accustomed.
My view is that choice is a lot less than people actually realise, when you actually consider the paths that many people take. Its an interesting philosophical concept in my view, but if people can see it, then only then can they have a truly free life with positive choice.
