Fast Food Regulated?

You've gotta be kidding? There is now talk of regulating the fast food industry. The next big war on... is going to be the war on obesity.

What are they going to do, restrict sales of french fries to only those over 21? I can see it now, the lawyers are going to start suing the fast food chains like they went after the tobacco companies.

Get a grip, people! As one who fights and struggles daily against obesity, I can tell you, regulating fast food isn't going to do it. It's going to take a lifestyle change, not 11 million dollars from Burger King (though the 11 million dollars sounds pretty good).

This smacks as another way for lawyers to make it rich. There are so many of them running around they have to come up with new and diverse lawsuits to make it and be able to afford those multi-level houses in Malibu. It's not right to sue the restaurant because Joe Schmucatelly eats there daily. The answer is to educate and work with Schmucatelly, not pay him millions of someone else's money to reward his lack of self control.

Enough ranting for one day. Here is a link to the news story that caused me to go off like this.
