If you care about health you won't eat a mars bar.

In fact even if you care about taste you wouldn't. It's nothing but a tasteless processed sugar bar. I didn't even like them as a kid.

Health isn't a 'perfect or your unhealthy' it's much more of a 'Make the better option, most of the time' in which, similar to the original comment, I am quite happy that the chocolate I can have a treat with has less calories but feels identical in levels of being a treat.

I'd pay the same for chocolate bars that were half the size if they were easily available.

Absolutely not true.

Easy comparison: I prefer to buy the mini 8oz coke cans over 12oz. I drink a can every once in a while because I just want a taste. Smaller cans lead to me consuming less.

So clearly your argument is really about... the quality of mass produced candy bars? And you're proposing that others just don't have functioning tastebuds?

Honestly I'm not sure what the point of your comment was other than for you to be negative. It is possible for others to have opinions that do not align with your own.

You should not be getting down voted. HN isn't Reddit. Down votes are for comments not contributing to conversation. This is a valid point.

I will say it, candy bars are garbage and should by no means be ingested.
