Yikes. Sorry to hear that you two. I apologize for my ignorant posts.

I love arguments like these.

16,000 people die of starvation every single day, mostly on Africa. That is 1 every 5 seconds and everyone is worried about American kids being to fat

so hilarious how messed up this country is.

I could care less what happens in Africa. Eat an elephant for crying out loud.

My mom and grandma are type 2 diabetes. While my mawmaw is type 1 I believe. I gotta watch my back. It seems only the females in my family that has it, so I might be safe genetic wise..I hope..I still eat bad food, but I eat healthy food and exercise too. Hopefully that will be enough. I hope. lol. I hardly ever go to McDonald's, but I do get a burger at another place called Cook Out. I eat more chicken than red meat when I go out to restaurants.

I also am a diabetic and as stated before it's no walk in the park. Grundlelove it's good to see you admit you were out of line , takes a big man to do that.

Probably the most messed up post I have read in a long, long time.

and have you seen the things i post?!?! that is saying something right there

The only other observation that I would like to add to this though is the fact that it is sad that some families eat fast food 7 days a week because a $1 cheeseburger and coke is cheaper to them than going grocery shopping. I see this a lot with the lower income house holds. That dollar value menu is where it's at

Good point. This is way too often overlooked.

But what do you do about it? Impose heavy taxes on junk food producers which forces them to raise their prices, similar to cigarette taxes? Or force the farmer's who produce healthy meats, grains, and vegetables to charge less so that more people can afford to eat healthy?

I am not sure that there is anything to do about it. The people who do this are doing the best they can for their families. I can't fault them for that If you tax the food heavily, these people may not eat at all.

You cant do sht about it. It comes down to on little word, C O N V E N I E N T.

As far as Africa goes, those people have been starving for decades, but they keep pumping out babies. How about feed them birth control. I say F the world and help those here at home.

It does come down to one word, LAZY. I agree we need to focus on our citizens first and foremost.

Elephant is a fine meal.

It's not McDonald's fault.... It's the parents for letting their kids eat unsupervised at home. There is no structure at home anymore PERIOD.
