Fine, so long as you have real choices. These are often distractions.
Think of cars - they'll cheerfully offer you a choice of colour but  
real choices?
They'll make what they can make, cheaply, and then persuade you to buy  
it.
People might demand the right to buy a shirt made in the US, or UK or  
Aus. - until they discover that the Chinese one is a quarter of the  
price.
Then their principles tend to vapourise.

Generally our choices are rather tightly controlled by limiting the  
offers and other, more subtle mechanisms.
