[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Imagine that the company you’re working for is marketing a new health drink. You will be paid handsomely—hundreds of thousands of dollars. You could use this money. Your mother is sick and needs dialysis treatment every week, which is costing you more money than you have to support her. In order to get paid, you are asked to sell a drink product containing an extremely large volume of high fructose corn syrup that is proven to cause obesity and diabetes and leads to a high risk of heart attacks. The product is sold cheaply and marketed to lower-income families. The quality of the product is compromised to reduce the cost—the lower cost is the only way some of these families can afford to eat or drink a week to week.

You have been fighting against cheap unhealthy food like this for years. It is against your ethics. In fact, your father just died of a diabetes-related heart attack, because every day for 40 years he drank this exact soda you are now being asked to sell. Having been to the factories to watch these products get made, and seeing the deadly sugary cocktail of ingredients in them, you wouldn’t even give this drink to your dog. But you know the money could help with your mom’s dialysis treatments. You feel very conflicted. What do you do? Do you willingly sell this product to other customers like your father, even though you know it is being falsely advertised and will eventually kill them? Your youngest brother, already overweight, is on the same unhealthy diet.
