Hopefully you are joking. No one has the right to tell us how to live our lives. If some wish to eat fast foods, thats their business.

I agree, but I sure wish the government would stop confiscating our money to pay for the medical expenses these people rack up as a result of their exercise of their freedom to stuff their faces and never exercise.

Look at the other people here, commenting without having either read or certainly not comprehending the article.

It's like Big Gub'mint be OK as long as it be for something we dislike.

Must be drug warriors and anti-smoking nazis. Or more likely just plain uncomprehending.

Yeah, just joking, sort of. The problem is that I recently read that 1 out of every 3 meals is eaten at a fast food restaurant. And sadly, the vast majority of Americans do not know anything, or very little about nutrition. Take a look at the nutritional value of the typical hamburger and fries menu. That is why it is now estimated that 60% of the adult population is medically obese. I think its a plague!

And yeah, everyone has a right to eat what they want just like they have the right to feed their kids what they want just like they have the right to smoke and blow smoke in their kids faces. The latter has involved massive amounts of education in the last 30 years. I think it's time for some nutritional education as well.
