What really hurts is that 51% of people said that restaurants are in some way responsible for their health.
'You feed me over processed grease-soaked meat bi-products, which I happily shovel in my mouth. It's your fault I'm not healthy!'
It makes me sad that there are people out there like this.
Also the people who do something along the lines of this get on my nerves: 'We went to this fancy restaurant, then we went gambling. We came home to watch our 100+ channel cable programs and play on our computers with DSL, but we can't afford our rent or prescription pills (which we will just not take), can we please have some money so we don't get evicted?' 'No.' 'Well, why not?! *storms off*'
