Shocking Ad Links Fast Food and Death

I know right. I'm a parent(dad) of two and decided to plan accordingly each day so we won't have to take that route. The thing is I honestly don't believe fast food healthy food is that healthy but they still have alternatives when those desperate times come. they carry salads and low calorie low sugar beverages. I guess the real issues is lack of discipline in most cases and people just don't care until it hits home. In regards to the ad I had to laugh. It's just a very sad truth.

You admit you can't control your own life, so why do you think you can do a better job controlling mine? Try getting a job and working yourself out of debt, and the trailer park and leave the rest of us alone.

These meals are some the best deals on the planet.
You get lots of nutrition for a small price. Order the Big Mac & have them cut it in half - share one half with someone else. Half of a Mac & a small fry & I'm good to go for the rest of the day. Split the cost & you save thousands in a year...Al-

There is clearly a propaganda purpose behind the charge. The people who right off the bat (Goria!!!)object to Fast Food and or meat, are either hired to post, or have an avocation, to validate any action or charge by vegetarians and diet faddists,. They use instant and constant approval posts of the charges made or anguished disapproval of the foods at issue and the people who tell them off. Articles like this are propaganda, politically and religiously motivated. When face with them, attack!!!

I wonder, how many supermarkets and fresh vegetable markets are in the same areas of the nation's capitol? How is nutrition and healthy eating being reinforced in the schools? The information suggests a classic class issue.

Anybody that has a problem with going after the Fast Food Industry is either a paid spin doctor for the industry or has no concept of the problem. Who out there wouldn't like to see their life insurance and hospitalization go down. Fast food has made alot of money pushing McCardiacarrest starting with the toys to hook you from childhood. Why not make them accountable?

Will that ad change behavior? I doubt it. I also think Michelle Obama's well-intentioned and praiseworthy campaign to defeat childhood obesity is doomed to oblivion.

By the way,I mean all of the fast food joints , not just Mickey'D's and I'm not a vegetarian.

As stated in the article this advertisement is brought to the public by:
the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Question all you want, like it or not, the issue is that you, the taxpayer, is paying for them to run it. Not a little bit of your money but a lot so that they can get their message on the television. Why even ask what their motive is?

The bottom line on them, and other non-profits is that We The People are and have been footing the bill. We paid for ACORN, remember them, how did you like that use of your hard earned money?

Personally, I would prefer my money to stay in my pocket to spend as I need or perhaps desire. If I want to buy a big thick sirloin cut steak to toss on the grill that would be better.

We have been used for decades, our money has been used for decades by these non-profits.

Even that "pastor" Terry Jones, down in Florida got his ride on our dime. When he threatened to burn Korans he endangered our brave troops, had the pentagon, and white house on pins and needles, and on and on. We paid for him and his church and still do. I suggest that if he was not tax exempt that he would not have a church. That the failed con he tried to run in Germany would have left him broke where he would be had his "church" had to pay state and federal taxes like you and me.

There is another tax free "church" that we see in the news. They stand before the Supreme Court today. They are the mean and evil church, composed mostly of family members. They are the ones, with the use of our dollars, stand at the funerals of our brave and noble troops. They wave signs against faggots, queers, "he deserved to die," etc. The family of our troop, who gave his life, must see all of this, on our money. We The People are paying for these people!

Agreed, People will eat how they want to eat and if you want to spend your life eating lettuce then shut up and do it. Every Choice that people make are their own. McDonalds is not the bad guy. Its irresponsible people who wanna blame someone else for the fact that they are 400lbs.

You are so right. I was at my UNHEALTHIEST as a vegetarian. I was underweight and weak. Meat is healthy and should be eaten in moderation!

I agree that what you eat is your own business. Last night I went to McD's and the place was packed..inside and drive up...I don't want the government or some veggie group telling me what to eat, when to eat, and where to eat.. This is America and free choice is number 1.. get out of my face !!!

I agree. I was right with it until they (a) singled out McDonalds and (b) finished with "go vegetarian". There is a tremendous amount of junk food sold in gas stations and in other fast food outlets. And isn't a Slurpie vegetarian? What about fish, chicken and lean beef (organic if you can find it)? Nobody sane believes a steady diet of fast food is healthy, so a more appropriate message might be to throttle back on it a bit. Expecting consumers to make the leap from Mickey D's and company to a vegetarian lifestyle is patently ridiculous.

You can't force people to eat right, and I'm not for forcing anything. But you can educate people. You'd be surprised how many people are uneducated about eating well.

Who are you to decide what is eating well? You eat what you want and I'll eat what I want and stay out of my face !!

Exactly. And if you are going to "educate" people you should at least get the facts right and not use old and out-of-date mythology. Why is it that most doo-gooder types pick and choose what they are going to adopt as their cause with little or no regard to the real truth?

Sigh!
