But they don&#x27;t sell &quot;problems&quot; they make and sell food, some of which is good for you and some not so much.<p>The reason why they exist at the level they do is because of the economies of scale you gain from being able to order millions of tons of grain, sugar, milk, etc., then processing them in huge factories, then distributing them to other huge companies that own grocery stores and vending machines, etc. It doesn&#x27;t strike me as morally questionable to include other products, including medicine (OTC or not) in that process. In fact, if it makes the medicines more affordable it can be more beneficial for the people who need it than not.<p>The reason why activists keep going after them and other large corporations is because getting them to change their behavior, when they&#x27;re one of the largest purchasers or creators of something, can make more difference than lobbying the government to make every corporation follow suit. Which is why we should try to encourage them to do better about issues that matter, including changing packaging and contents of &quot;junk&quot; food.
