It is amazing how someone so naïve can get so old.
It's a vicious circle (oxidized fats clogging the brain vessels).
Sounds like a hopeful candidate for the Darwin Award.

No.  It takes two to tango.

No.  But generally speaking, it is often too late when the damage materializes.

What's the use of advertising, if not to push inferior products on naïve
people, and to make liars rich?  (The worse the product, the better the
advertising -- see M$.)  If a product is good, it needs no advertising --
it sells by "mouth propaganda" of satisfied customers.  A good health book
warned: "Don't buy anything that gets advertised."  (The book itself sold
out without advertising.)
