I really see no problem with these ads. I have a bigger problem with the Boston Globe calling me every few weeks to reup my subscription that I cancelled years ago...When I lived in MA...Which I no longer do!
Those commercials have the lefties up in arms.
Yesterday FoxNews had some old woman on whining about them. She didn’t have much of a stand, so she complained that these commercials caused people to eat more meat, resulting in the need for more animals who would produce more methane, thus.....global warming.
It was laughable.
I thought the world was overpopulated according to the left?
I, personally, don’t eat this stuff, but I’m also not in the biz of telling other people what to do with “their own bodies”.
I do know that I don’t want to be locked into a universal healthcare plan with people that make whoppers a regular part of their workout routine!
To quote a local talk guy on Derrick Z. Jackson, “The Z stands for ztupid.”
They simply have eaten Whoppers or Big Macs before. Period. That's makes these ads great! LOL
McDonald's is probably upset that they didn't think of it first. These ads are 1000% better than those faggoty 'breakfast with the king' commercials. jmo
All this, to spread disease to developing peoples. And Burger King knows it. The Westernization of the global diet, led by America's fast-food giants, is helping spread obesity and diabetes as it has never been seen before. It's not enough that those diseases are off the charts with Native Americans here at home. Now we want to seduce Inuits abroad. Even if levels of obesity stay what they are now, the number of people around the world with diabetes will explode from the 171 million people of 2000 to 366 million by 2030.
In his zeal to damn all contact between Western civilization and the less developed people, Derrick converts obesity into a disease (a disease which these starving people might actually benefit from, but that's besides the point). Overall, another enjoyable screed from the Globe's most Left-wing lunatic.
WAIT! Hold the presses! You mean the germs that killed Indians were UNINTENTIONAL??
Wow, that goes against every history telling leftard I have ever heard!
The real news is that the left finally admit that Whitey didn’t commit germ warfare on Natives!
Perhaps Mr. Jackson would prefer to return to his ancestral roots in Africa and live off the land for a time and turn his back to Westernization diets. I think we know the answer to that.......
Moral to the story - no restaurant of any sort should be adopted as a daily diet.
Gee, I think he left some important info out of the article.
Globalization of the food supply, which enables shoppers to buy fresh fruits and berries in the middle of winter, also presents the potential of allowing pathogens from developing countries entry into our food supply. For example, Cyclosporia cayetanensis, a unicellular intestinal parasite not reported as a cause of disease in the United States until 1995, has recently been responsible for a number of significant foodborne-illness outbreaks related to raspberries imported from Guatemala. There was also a nationwide outbreak of hepatitis A related to frozen strawberries from Mexico, distributed from a San Diego company to 16 state lunch programs.
That's quite understandable, but not many people know that Burger King also serves veggie Burgers which are pretty good. It's puzzling, but they don't advertise the fact either. I found out about it from a McDonald's executive when I suggested that McD's consider selling Veggie Burgers nationally as they do in a few McD's in Manhattan.
The moral of the story is that life is full of CHOICES. You can have the Whopper or you could have the salad with grilled chicken on it. Same thing with restaurants. You can have the dinner with the heavy cream and fat based sauce or you could have baked fish with rice pilaf and tossed salad.
A Whopper now and then isn't so bad, you just can't or shouldn't do it every day. jmo
Now of course, what she had meant to say was "my group believes every human being should have the right to adopt a child." But this little Freaudian slip comes out, and suddenly, there's dead silence in the studio as everyone else realizes what she said. (One poor despirate staffer tried to his at her, "Adoption! adoption!" but deaf and blind like, she just plowed ahead with the Important Messager she Had To Delviver.) A more transparent comment on the Left I have never seen!
But the Big Mac is way better.
