Ah, I was more referring to how the documentary was very critical of marketing to children, and how people campaigned against that in the years surrounding that.

I didn't know about his alcoholism, thanks for bringing that to my attention. That said, eating waaay too much fast food and not exercising was pretty much the whole point - he wanted to show how bad that lifestyle was. IMO the only problem there is that he failed to disclose that he was also heavily drinking.

Safety regulations are written in blood. Electrical fires were indeed a problem. It's why there are rules on how many outlets need to be in a room, how spaced out they need to be (to curtail extension cord usage even when the builders are trying to be cheap and stingy with outlets). It's the reason why we have breakers and GCFIs and RCBs and AFCIs. It's the reason why we have electrical certification bodies like UL which won't certify your cable or appliance if the cords are too thin.

There's a lot of smart stuff we do behind the scenes to make dumb cords safe because even smart people make dumb mistakes.

Not sure if you're talking about the U.S. or tofu, but in either case, I suggest you expand your perspective. Article literally talks about 20 different varieties of Tofu, all unique in texture and preparation and taste. You're bound to like one of them.
