"manipulate people against their interests and to destroy the environment."
What system doesn't do this? If it's not a corporation manipulating people against their interests, it's the government.
"a person freely making a bad decision of their own volition is not moral insulation for offering them that bad decision in the first place."
If a person can't freely make a bad decision, it means they have less freedom. It's also interesting, because many "bad decisions" are subjective. Would you consider allowing a woman to have an abortion a bad decision? How about drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or eating fatty foods?
All of these in one way or another are bad decisions, but I wouldn't want to be prevented from making them.
