This is the basis for taxing high sugar convenience food. It was done for cigarettes, and today, consumers overwhelmingly see it as a good program. (Of course tobacco companies lobbied hard against it)
Should there be a line on which products governments deincentivise? High sugar convenience foods have their purpose, but does it outweigh increasing obesity? Should we instead subsidize healthy foods? Or both together?
Hershey’s has had many reasons to be boycotted over the decades. I’m not aware of any of those reasons being corrected by the company.
I am completely against what Israel is doing to Palestine and against the colonization and genocide being done.
This instance of Hershey’s doing business in Israel is a very weak reason to boycott. There are many other obvious reasons to boycott Hershey’s.
