      It’s always been the goal to get children consuming products. It’s a known function of humans that they usually stick to whatever they were doing when they were kids well into adulthood. It’s harder to convince an adult with pre-established routines and preferred products to switch over.

      You’re right though that it’s getting pretty blatant now, but that’s to be expected as we dismantle food and drug regulations.

      If you can die in an industrial accident at 14, you should be able to enjoy the great taste of beer after work - even if you still have to wait for the alcohol.

      I suspect this is legal because “under aged” in the US doesnt explicitly mean “under 18”, since the legal drinking age is 21.

      Not just the children - under age also includes teenagers and young adults in this case. Honestly, indoctrination has always been the case, since there is a push that drugs are harmful for all, why not indoctrinate the youngest of all: children. By the time they grow up to be teens they will be addicts.
