Ah, that's too harsh.

Sugar water tastes good. Fast food is made quickly and it tastes good. There's no "indoctrination" that happens to make people realize that.

I agree that coke has 0 nutritional value. However, the flavor is agreeable to most people.

You were addicted as a child to something unhealthy, and that's why it's indoctrination.

Only because most people have undergone that indoctrination.

You can't imagine that people could try Coke and think "what is this ridiculously sugary shit?" The reason you can't imagine that? Indoctrination.
