I've been opposed to all this junk for awhile. But now I am taking a different tack on it. If Kraft, and McDonald's, etc. cave in and create foods that people don't want then it opens the door for new products from smaller mom and pop businesses. Some of the smaller local gourmet foods makers may have an opportunity to put their real cheeses out and perhaps people will eat real cheese instead of 'processed cheese food'.

Find out what products are made in your State and buy them. Support the small cheese makers and one of your few remaining local hamburger stands.

I risk becoming a "liberal" by some people's definition in my old age. These products are loaded with partially hydrogenated oils which are created by an artificial process and which are used because they are cheaper than using real butter, etc. PHO remains in the body and is super linked with cancer and heart disease. There is nothing much "natural" about it. I have heard doctors (hardly fans of lawsuits) on several shows discussing this. Apparently, you could literally stick a needle into a person's rump and draw out the PHO stored there.

Those are usually out of my price range and to me rarely taste as good. I have yet to find anyone who can make fries that are as good to me as burger king. I was raised eating fast food a lot and I'm not fat. I eat ice cream and cheese cake when I have it around and I don't gain weight from it because I don't eat it for every meal. I shouldn't have to suffer because some moron can't control their urge to buy oreos and eat them all at once or some parents buys their kid oreos and lets them eat the whole bag. Kraft shouldn't be held responsible for irresponsible parents who buy too much junk food for their kids and then complain about their kids being fat. And if any one here wants cookies that really taste good but aren't too bad for you try SnackWell's chocolate chip cookies. They are really good and only 4g of fat for 13 of the bite size cookies. They also have a bit of fiber, protein, and Iron in them and are only 130 calories for the 13 cookie serving size. They are as good as any other chocolate chip cookies I've had.
