intro
Many nutritionists argue that the type of high fat, low fibre diet promoted by McDonald's is linked to serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. The sort of diseases that are now responsible for nearly three-quarters of premature deaths in the western world. McDonald's respond that the scientific evidence is not conclusive and that their food can be a valuable part of a balanced diet.
Some people say McDonald's are entitled to sell junk food in exactly the same way that chocolate or cream cake manufacturers do: if people want to buy it that's their decision. But should McDonald's be allowed to advertise their products as nutritious? Why do they sponsor sports events when they sell unhealthy products? And what on earth are they doing opening restaurants in hospitals?

Well, geez, how many people have "a diet" of nothing but McDonalds? Very few, I would assume. They could be eating celery, carrot juice, and tofu the rest of the day. I bet, however, that many of those people who had breakfast, lunch, or dinner at McDonalds had equally bad food at home for the rest of their meals. Either that, or they ate at another fast-food joint.
What's the point? Well, how many people haven't heard the argument you're making? I'm guessing about 5 in the entire United States and none on this board. So, people have heard the argument you're making and then incorporated it into their lives about as much as they want to.
So, we've heard it all before. Get the fuck out of our lives. So sit down and SHUT UP!
