1. Probably both

I think he recognized the free will we all possess to choose where we eat, but he pointed out the deluge of marketing forced down our throats from an early age.

The message was: Sure, we can eat where we want. But the fast-food empires target us from a young age and influence how we make our choices. That's the beauty of marketing.

You should check out _Toxic Sludge is Good For You_. It's a frightening look at the magic of effective marketing.
