Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, was a rotten, manipulative person who popularized smoking, eating bacon & eggs, & many other things docs knew full well at the time were deadly.

Is he considered a mass murderer? Fuck no.

He is considered the "fathet of public relations." A celebrated hero.

Another enlightening read is "Ways of Seeing," by John Berger. Based on an old BBC TV series (1972), explores the way our minds are manipulated by advertisers.

All that said, I still love butter. as a little kid, my parents caught me more than once eating a stick like a candy bar.

Having to lo limit fats is the thing I hate most about being old.
