If the opinions of rationally minded individuals are so easily 'swayed' as you suggest, perhaps we do need a more centralized government making decisions in the best interest of the collective. there used to be this technique taught in school called critical thinking. this has changed into reflexively thinking critical of thinking for one's self.
Your logic suggests we are unfit to decipher for ourselves. the left is teaching this.
If they addressed the issue, 'red slime' would no longer be used. The people expressed their concern and instead of catering to those concerns, like the producer of any other product would do, they've chosen to take a "we know better than you" approach in an attempt defend their profit margins. people can choose, again, a concept you don't seem to advocate, unless it's choice. it's why it's fair to sue for what ABC did.
Just like with implants. Consumers say we don't want this. and they have a choice. why remove the choice for those that don't care? again, your no-choice government unless it's choice mentality, typical hypocrisy.
Instead of listening and tailoring the product to our needs, they do, there's this thing called profit to prove it. producers squander their resources going on educational campaigns to try to prove otherwise. the media does this as well, that's why you don't get it. I don't get it. you never will. perhaps read a modest proposal by the author of gulliver's travels, johnathan swift. Just meet the demands of the consumer. people are, you just want to remove that choice.
That's all you've got to do to get the gravy train rolling your way. people are, but when people misrepresent the situation, they deserve to be sued. for some reason, you seem to hate diversity and choice unless you impose it. i don't think you will ever get it until confronted with the situation that costs you personally. for some reason, you hate the free market's role in decision making. i can already feel you not pursuing information sources that conflict with your perspective.
