As long as a child is receiving adequate nutrition, is it necessary to force him to expand his culinary horizons? Natural curiosity tends to balance out temporary fixation in the absence of such abnormal thinking that might arise from feeling a lack of control.

Whether or not this is the case, there's a difference between allowing choice and allowing all choices, and there's a difference between imposing quality and imposing quantity. But, I don't think the stereotype of a kid binging on junk-food without boundary is accurate outside families that build such foods into a rare, prized(!) and denied commodity. It's just unfortunate that that attitude is so pervasive.
Latest Gmail is, indeed, a piece of shit. I think it's for the same reason a lot of websites now are (including my university's course portal): everyone is using frameworks that purport to work just as good on mobile as desktop but in reality end up compromising both platforms down to a mediocre workable level.
That's not a Google issue, and I honestly don't know if a resurgence of desktop apps in general would be a good thing or not.
Not necessarily. It's not outrageous for a large system to incorporate different scopes, even simultaneously. The architecture of the internet itself is a good example of that.
Yes. I would assume- based on the exponential nature of wealth distribution- that you would get exponentially more people willing to spend as the amount lowers.
