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.

Unfortunately, unlike much of europe, the local cheesemonger with walls of wheels of farmhouse cheeses simply doesn't exist in much of the US.

I have no problem eating fast food either, the taste is acceptable to me, I like Wendy's hamburgers. But I like to support small business and especially local business.
I go to a local pharmacy rather than Wal-Mart. It costs a little more of course, but my pharmacist is a small business owner, knows the business and cares about it, and there are benefits to that also.

You're going to be suffering because of greedy trial lawyers who want to become billionaires, nothing more. (And you will suffer; there is no way they will be able to make these "reformulated" products taste as good as the current ones.) Kraft is owned by Philip Morris, which is already a financial basket case because the trial lawyers went after Big Tobacco. They can't survive a second wave of trial lawyer attacks on Big Food, so they're making a preemptive move to save themselves. Which is pretty funny, IMHO, since a) It won't work because anyone currently walking the planet is a potential plaintiff already; and b) the "reformulations" will just end up either causing people to stop buying their products at all because they taste like crap, or causing them to keep buying and gain MORE weight as a result. (Reduced fat content = increased carbs = more pounds going straight to the waistline and increased hunger.)
