I don't buy this arguement at all.Personal responsibility isn't a myth,it is a lifestyle choice.One of the reasons people succumb to big media marketing is because they are lazy and have become complacent to the point where they have little regard for personal pride.
People have the choice to decide what they do and what they put into their bodies.If they are so lacking in intelligence that they parade around as puppets or psychologically engineered robots,then they deserve every pitfall that comes their way regarding their chosen lifestyles.
In this day and age,if people can't make decisions for themselves and chose to be ruled by mass marketing,then that is their problem and they are solely to blame for it.
