If common sense tells people that, they sure aren't listening.
And again, that's the point of the movie, I think. Alot of people seem to
have lost their senses when it comes to what they ingest.

I just love the parents that give the excuse "But whoppers are the only
thing little Billy will eat!" or "Susie won't eat anything but french
fries!" What a crock! As if they have no responsibility for introducing the
child to that food and then indulging their every whim for it afterwards. It
truly sickens me when I hear such excuses. And as if that wasn't bad
enough....Last Wednesday I was out to lunch with my sister in law and
Souplantation and when I went to get some iced tea there was a gal there
filling a *baby bottle* with Coke! That should constitute child abuse if you
ask me.
