Hell, a lot of my eating habbits are directly related to my parent's eating habbits, and I've had to fight really hard in recent years to break those lifelong habits that were instilled in me during childhood.

I agree with you, Steve-o... but why are cigarette manufacturers suddenly (and by suddenly I mean in historical respect to the longevity of the industry) being forced to compensate lifetime smokers in the US and pay their health care bills?

Ask anyone who knows me, or indeed knows my wife... we love ripping on the drones and lemmings for blindly feeding their kids crap while not teaching them about a better way to eat or just flat out not caring. It's sad and we pity the kids, but yes the parents carry a stack of blame on the matter.

Again, the food is being sold as safe. It's being offered up as a homecooked meal replacement alternative.There's no legal restriction on the weekly consumption of McSodium, and I can buy some McSaturated Fat as often as I buy a BLT sub, club sub, or anything else I can get at Mr. Sub. That stuff too isn't all that healthy when you get some of their offerings. At least their health fact menus and ingredients lists(for the lemmings that care) are displayed right in front of the order counter in most standalone sub shops that aren't in a food court.

The last time I was in a McDs (on course, months ago), I couldn't find a single food choices pamphlet. Anywhere. Asking for one got me a blank stare.

If the food was inherently harmless, there'd be nothing to discuss. But the fact remains that beyond a once-a-month consumption rate for a full meal, you start to give yourself the capacity for serious problems to develop.

When I order correctly at the sub shop, I can pretty much guarantee you I'm eating much haelthier than I ever could for the same amount of food at McDs.
