i was trying to start to eat more healthfully when i read Fast Food Nation.

But Nancy, I think the point the movie made very well is that it isn't like
what you're talking about. It sounds to me, and correct me if I am wrong
here, that you are speaking of an occasional indulgence. That's all well and
good, if you can stomach that junk, but the fact is this type of trash food
has become the mainstay of too many people's diets and lifestyles. That's
where the problem comes in. Eating the occasional Whopper (which by today's
standards isn't even that big anymore) is not likely to kill you. Eating it
5 days a week just might.

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.

But it still comes back to taking responsibility for your own actions. Yes,
I eat fast food once in a while, but no one forces me to. I have
alternatives but sometimes I take the easy way out. When the movies was
being made, if the server asked "do you want it supersized?" the answer was
yes. What is wrong with saying NO? It makes a better movie to say "yes" so
that is what he did.

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.

I often wonder what their parents think the kids are eating
for lunch. Money doesn't seem to be an object. Within a
block of our closest high school (population ~2800) there is a:

Dairy Queen (very popular)
Burger King (very popular)
Taco Bell (very popular)
7-11 (very popular)
Jamba Juice
local bagel restaurant
Domino's Pizza
Greek mom'n'pop (kids don't patronize
Chinese restaurant (kids don't patronize)
Boston Market (kids don't patronize)
Italian pizza and pasta restaurant (few kids)
Starbuck's (in Albertson's, loads of kids)

I am blown away by the number of kids whose lunch
consists of a huge cup of froufrou coffee. I'm sure
the teachers in the afternoon classes aren't happy
with the level of buzz the kids come back with, and
they're not getting much nutrition.

If you look in the cafeteria, there seem to be mostly
special ed kids and those poor enough to be eligible
for free lunches.

The movie never claimed anyone is forced. However, advertising, and the fact
that the food is addictive, play a big part. Just because we can say no,
doesn't mean they shouldn't take responsibility for their part in the
decline in fitness and health. It's attitudes that excuse them that are
partly to blame for their lack of responsibility.

That was my point, they are not responsible for me. I can buy
complete crap almost anywhere they sell food. It's my job to
decide what to buy. Burger King is not in charge of me.

I fully support right to choice. At the same time I am not discounting the
incredible power of combining psychology with imaging, i.e. multi-media
advertising. As I mentioned before, a very interesting study is to follow
American fast-food effects around the globe, especially on children in other
cultures. Remember, there are some places where a swift meal at a
reasonable price is about the only criteria a parent might use, when
considering what to feed their children, especially if both parents work
and/or commute long hours. And, there are many children, as well as adults,
who eat fast food for more than five meals per week.

Right to choice, and the responsibility for it, sort of assumes you are at
least informed about the safety of the choices at hand.
