But that's my point, kinda. People are blaming big corporations
with trying to kill you or something. So don't go there. No one
is forcing anyone to go there. I don't care what the bigwigs eat,
eat what you want. I have untold choices what I can have for food.

It's not about the Whopper. It's about people trying to change
what places offer for my benefit, take responsibility for yourself
(not You you) and blaming it on the evil corporate giants.

And, yeah, I wonder where kids get the money to buy fast food.
