How exactly is that contradictory?

Big industries making sure that health problems are not too visible isn't exactly something new and surprising. That's basically the main target of lobbies.

    Unsurprisingly, both of them are pretty bad for health and big industries.

    This implies health and big industries are aligned, whatever fence you're on, that makes little sense. Contradictory.

    Big industries and bad side effects that are known but hushed down are pretty common. From the simple fact that when an industry makes money out of something unhealthy, they rarely scream at the top of their lungs that it is unhealthy.

    History has shown it to be pretty much common, and generally it is only accepted by the general public way too late.

    And in the other direction, a small industry generally wouldn't have the lobbies needed to quiet down a health scandal.
