Its unconstitutional to force the truth out of a company?

Actually this stems from you guessed it, back in the 80s! They started the slow roll into company advertising is just an option, then in the 2000s when companies became people those options became free speech! Isn't that terrible?

Bit silly to say you can't warn people that packaging is not recyclable, but you can ban non-recyclable packaging entirely.
