Cause and effect
Do you buy this line of argument?
Manufacturers of high performance vehicles are making us exceed the speed limit.This?
Alcohol manufacturers are making us drink to excess.Or this from the Sydney Morning Herald?
Junk food companies are making customers fat, then selling them the cure, health experts claim.Wrong. Those who over-consume calorific foods are making themselves fat.
