But who decides whats necessary or healthy?

I think fatty foods (fried foods) are worse for you than soda is.

I'm a vegan so I think most people eat unnecessary foods. Look at the amount of energy needed and land and food/grain to produce meat, and compare it to produce grain/vegetables. It's far more efficient to produce just grain/vegetables.
