Here's another way to look at it. Both nicotene and chocolate are 'engineered' to be highly addictive substances: It provides an edge in sales, and influences the concept of "choice", over time. Corporate marketing practices are not ethical. If they were, we wouldn't be considering pesticide exposure as a possible precursor to pd. Every seed is a virtual tree. Every word, every action gives rise to a virtual reflection of one's philosophy of life. Nurture the soul accordingly.
