Crazy. If someone wants to eat somewhere it is their decision not the governments. What are they going to try to ban next M&Ms? Government has no place telling people what to eat. If Americans want to run around being fat well, thats their problem.

Wow
People need to grow up. They can manage what they eat themselves, and if they can’t, they deserve to be fat.
No one forces you to eat McDonnalds or anywhere else.

There is a big part everyone who brings this issue up is forgetting. This is still a free country, and until the government starts telling us how to live, I have the right to go get a burger at a fast food joint. Just like some other person may go home and make a salad. The government should have absolutely NO authority to determine how we live our lives. Before anyone accuses me of being a fat moron, I weigh 185 pounds and I am in shape. It’s a matter of personal, not public responsibility.

so exaggerating! if they would ban such fast food,government will lose tax revenues on these food company, and i don’t think the gov’t. would do that.
it just that it would always depend on people whether thay want to maintain healthy lifestyle.

Why don’t they worry about drinking more than smoking and overeating . Drinking and drugs causes more grief and pain then these things.

When are pople going to get it through their heads, no one forces anyone to eat anything McDonalds or anywhere else. Doesnt the government have more important things to do. It doesnt matter if you eat a cheese burger at home with fries everyday or at McDonalds. It just isnt good for you on a
daily basis. And I dont find eating at any fast food place that inexpensive. And you can eat healthly at McDonalds too. Its all about choices.

it just goes to show that the minority is telling the majority what to do
if 66% are overweight that means that being overweight is the norm.

This country is in such sad shape. I read a lot of blogs having to do with weight. Most obese people feel that it is too expensive to eat healthy or even moderately healthy. I know that for the price of a family of four to eat at McDonald’s I could feed them 3 square meals with 1/10 the fat and calories.
I could feed them organic and healthy. They are just lazy and fast food is a way of life for them. McDonald’s is here forever and the medical field is damn happy about it.

I believe, fast food companies should NOT be advertising their poor choice of food to the world at the Olympics. These games represent a healthy and clean image. Let’s keep it this way and ban the junk food giants that have caused obesity in the U.S. and are now exporting it to the rest of the world
