clearlysuspect:No offense to anyone out there whose income is derived from working for fast food restaurants, but I hope the entire sector collapses. I've just always despised fast food and the crap that they try to pawn off on the American public as food.

The next great national lawsuit ala big tobacco is going to be against the food indusrty.
BStayer: I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm just sick of gov't getting involved in so many different arena's. They are outlawing everything all in the pursuit of health. Let me choose to be healthy or not! I don't need a mother watching over my shoulders to make sure I eat enough grapes everyday. Again, just my 2 cents, but don't take offense, I'm just spoutin' off.

Ultimately, our choice is to give up Utopian quests or give up our freedom. This has been recognized for centuries by some, but many others have not yet faced that reality, even today. If you think government should "do something" about anything that ticks you off, or anything you want and don't have, then you have made your choice between Utopia and freedom.

I thought at the end of the commercial BK said price and participation may vary. Why dont' those biotchin about the price just not lower it? I guess it would be bad for business but it seems they have a choice to me. It's a business decision and may be a tough one but they seem to me to have a decision none the less. I don't know BK politics so I can't comment too much but why have the disclaimer if they are required to follow the max price? As far as the fast food in general thing goes...like said previously if you don't want the food don't go there. People suing someone that sold them something when they knew or know the health implications is part of what's bringing the country down. If government bans unhealthy food I think they should require people to excercise. But then gyms will be too expensive so the govt will take those over and nationalize them as well.... maybe a bit exaggerated but certainly a slipperly slope that I feel we may already be sliding down.

I've just always despised fast food and the crap that they try to pawn off on the American public as food. Actually, I do have a response for this. Now if the fast food sector completely fell away because people weren't buying, I would have no problems with this. This would be the result of people simply refusing to eat there. But the point is, they would choose to not eat, they weren't prohibited from eating.
kuzi16:im guilty... with all my training in the world of food, with all my cookbooks, all my watching of the food network, i still like taco bell. i would be sad if it was gone.
