“There are more important hills to die on” is kind of a cop-out argument.

You’re already choosing a hill to die on by supporting the idea that gross images should be mandated on certain products because they’re considered unhealthy. If you didn't care, you wouldn't argue for it.

If that’s the standard, then why stop there?

Should Lucky Charms and other cereal boxes have pictures of disgusting fat people on them, to show kids what can happen when you build a habit of eating sugar for breakfast?

What about wine and liquor bottles? Should every label include pictures of damaged livers, drunk-driving crashes, or alcohol poisoning?

If the principle is that unhealthy products should carry graphic warnings, then it should apply consistently, not just to the ones people already dislike.

The older people I knew who smoked cigarettes all their lives, looked unhealthy and didn't live very long.

The one who smoked cigars and the other who smoke out of a pile are still kicking in their 90s, and look full of energy.

There's something to that I'm sure.
