Probably. I mean, you can sue someone for say (just for the sake of a round number) $1 million. For a large corporation like Company X, a million isn't so hard to recover. That's probably like, a day of sales (again for the sake of easy numbers here). And then Company X could just continue with business as usual.

But if you get people to stop buying, Company X could stand to lose say, $1 billion. Okay, now they're shakign in their boots cause that's a lot of cash. So now they've gotta re-work marketing and ad campaigns, which cost more money, and by the time they make that push to recover losses, Company X is bankrupt and parental responsibility has found it's reward in one less junk food product on the market.

Wow...economics makes sense now. Does that mean all economics is is just people taking responsibility for their own actions (gasp) instead of laying blame somewhere else?
