People choose to drink soda. It's a far cry from separating children and locking them into cages. Not remotely comparable.


>People choose to drink soda.

People also choose to cross the border illegally.


The children aren't choosing to do so.

Also, it's not illegal if you're filing an asylum claim (which most are).


Do these families who are not citizens of the USA choose to try to enter the USA? And way to be a sensationalist by using terms like "cages".


The children are not choosing to do so in any meaningful sense, no. But anyway, most of the families are filing for asylum, which is legal. They aren't entering illegally; they are filing for asylum at the border. We're the ones choosing to cage them instead of treating them more humanely.

And it's not sensationalist to speak the truth. There are plenty of photos and videos. We are actually doing this.


Their choice is manipulated by massive advertising, contracts with schools, exclusive lock-ins.

Children have less of a choice, I think in drinking soda than families do in seeking asylum.

It’s not choose one or the other, person if Chef is a moral company they should block both.
