Misconceptions on Diet Culture and Capitalism
The misconception that corporations promote junk food over healthy options due to capitalism is debunked. Corporations aim to sell products that people want, whether it's junk or healthy food. They prioritize profits but are willing to sell healthy items if there is demand. The belief that corporations prioritize profits over people is acknowledged, but the focus is on selling high-value products with good profit margins, like organic or premium items. The prevalence of junk food in the market is attributed to consumer demand rather than a conspiracy. Companies prefer to offer products that people willingly pay for and enjoy, even if they may negatively impact health in the long run.
