I don’t understand why McDonald’s is being singled out. It has a lot more healthy menu options than BK, Jack or Wendys. Why aren’t they being attacked?

Because this is not really about health. It's about the terminal hatred that liberal busybodies have toward success. McDonalds is the largest of the fast food chains, and as a result, the #1 target. The goal is to retire an advertising figure that busybodies consider key to that success.


also, because they have a "children's figure" as an advertising vehicle, they are and easier target. similar to how they tanked joe camel a while back.

Each of those organizations consists of 3 people on a university campus with a PO box and a fax machine.

You can only eat where you want with Hucakabee’s approval.

Huckster: All the factors say “yes” but my heart (and my high paying job on Fox) says “no”. What a phony!

I didn’t see anything on their fight to end estrogen pollution of the rivers and oceans, although from looking at the staff and board I’d say they are doing their part.

You have to wonder about the sanity of 550 health professionals and organistions, when they blame a clown and one partucular fast food joint for all the ills of the world.

My Grandkids get to go to McDonalds probably twice a month a mystery meat hamburger and a bag of fries isn’t going to kill them.

Now that they own your body (i.e. healthcare), this is pretty much the reality.

Welcome to Facism.

I said this would happen years ago when they went after Joe Camel.

They will never EVER stop.

acknowledges that "the contributors to today's (health) epidemic are manifold and a broad societal response is required.

Wait a minute, who are they to "acknowledge" this? It must be great to create a organization to "solve" a problem, invent the problem and cause then acknowledge or confirm that it is true.

I'm going to use the process that proves that voting for left-o-crats gives you worms...

How about replacing all of the social engineering courses in our K-12 classroom with a bit more recess and P.E. classes?
