I think, Smoking and Tobacco industry, is a good example. Unless you are a minor, you can freely buy and consume. Still, at this point everyone is aware it is harmful, and this "everyone" was achieved via government-sponsored education and mandatory packaging regulation.

Maybe if McD packaging had to include picture of obese people in hospitals people would take health warning more seriously?

Tobacco industry had doctors peddle "health benefits" of smoking. How was it stopped? a) Research showing otherwise b) Gov't threatening to revoke MD licenses for ignoring this research.


Typical progressive attack, place the blame on a corporation and not the individual. You can eat nothing but McD all day for the rest of your life and be healthy.
People have known long before the government ads that smoking was bad. People still know its bad and still smoke after the government ads, so that means the ads don't work.

When you say put the obese people in the hospitals on ads do you mean the people working at the hospital or the patients because if you go by size you will have a hard time figuring out which is which.
