Imagine this scena...Something to consider mikeb...<br /><br />Imagine this scenario.<br /><br />Guy walks into McDonald's and orders a cheeseburger and a milkshake.<br />Clerk tells him that McDonald's is trying to be a responsible part of the community and therefore refuses to serve him because they say he's too fat.<br /><br />Guy sues McDonald's for refusing to serve him.<br /><br />America is the land of the lawsuit.<br /><br />Remember that lady who successfully sued McDonald's because she spilled hot coffee on herself?<br /><br />This is a matter of personal responsibility.<br /><br />On a more serious take, consumers created the demand for fast food.<br /><br />Used to be that a family of four could live comfortably on just one income. One parent brought home a paycheck and one parent kept up the house, raised the kids and home cooked the meals. Before someone lables me a sexist, this was the way things were because 2 incomes were not needed to live the good life.<br /><br />Now, not so much.<br /><br />In the homes that are fortunate enough to have 2 parents, both must work in most cases just to keep their heads above water.<br /><br />This was the recipe that created the demand for cheap fast food.<br /><br />Quality of the food goes down. Quanties of the portions go up.<br /><br />Result?<br /><br />Fatties.<br /><br />Fast food joints would never have even gotten off the ground if we, as consumers did not demand it and support it with our patronage.<br /><br />It's the people not the gun, er uh...I mean burger.kavemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-4238387200362653122009-11-12T21:38:52.009+01:002009-11-12T21:38:52.009+01:00Where does personal responsibility stop and corpor...<i>Where does personal responsibility stop and corporate responsibility begin?</i><br /><br />When McDonald's employees come to my house, hold me down, and force feed me a Big Mac. Until then what someone eats is their own damned business.Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648225987293475835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-48376003946326290282009-11-12T15:13:36.245+01:002009-11-12T15:13:36.245+01:00Look, we all know the crap from McDonald's is ...Look, we all know the crap from McDonald's is bad for you.<br /><br />If you get fat and sick from eating it that's your fault. Don't eat it.<br /><br />I think I've eaten McDonald's once in the last 3 years.Mike W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03425962910696301026noreply@blogger.com
