If they have ties to Big Food - i.e. taking bribes - I certainly prefer that to the Big Pharma ties CSPI has. It’s become apparent to me that it’s CSPI that has the agenda, which CCF is exposing.

There is certainly legitimacy to the point of view, but these ads are supported by big corporate interests. At least we know that CSPI and other health advocates generally are trying to look out for consumers. We know for certain that organizations like CCF are not.

Sure, multinational corporations are all about passing savings onto consumers. If the corporate tax rate were zero the CEOs would NOT pass that savings on- they would rape the company for millions more. Much like moving a factory overseas, the “savings” aren’t passed to the consumers, they line the pockets of executives. “Such an abolition would immediately lower consumer prices for goods and services while dramatically boosting investment in American companies on American soil.”
