McDonald's insanity

[yellowrosetx]

Thank you, voodoolimbo, for pointing this out! While the judge has a point that certain information not disclosed regarding food content can be harmful, I have to wonder what parent thinks that food from Ye Old Golden Arch Supper Club several times a day is a healthy diet when it's pretty well known they have a massive fat content in their food!

They say that a hamburger alone (sans the fries and drink) is around 230 callories...BigMAc runs around the big 500, isn't that like a third of our daily calorie intake?

The downside is that it's so cheap, a hamburger meal over here is 2 Euro (about 2 dollars), a cheap lunch in anybodys book.

Cheap lunch, yup, but like you said, high calories. My favorite fast food joint has become Subway. I can get a really good low cal and low fat, 6 inch sandwich or salad for around 3 dollars. A dollar more gets a drink and either cookies or potato chips.

Oh the franchising cruelty of it all...

Some people would eat pork and mashed potatoes and gravy three times a day if they could afford it.

What I don't comprehend is how they can afford it.

Sooner or later, as a society, we are going to have to come to the point where we stop trying to protect people from themselves.
I mean, a law against suicide is really kind of ignorant. What are you going to do, beat their corpse? Put them in jail if their suicide attempt fails? Aren't they already in a bad enough mood?

Re:

I think the reason there are laws against suicide is because the general belief is that suicide is a permamant end to a temporary problem.

Society needs to get people to take responsibility for their own actions instead of trying to pass the buck.
