hear, hear. sorry, but it’s not the job of corporations to make your choices for you, and this isn’t limited to food. it’s not the job of starbucks to insist that you bring a recyclable cup because the landfills and dumps are filling up. it’s not your electric companies job to turn off your lights because it’s wasteful. it’s not the job of casinos to close down because some people have a gambling problem, and it’s not the job of GM to take the hummer off the market because it’s bad for the environment; it’s your job not to buy it. especially not in yellow, because really, it’s a short bus.
every choice you make has consequences, and it is up to YOU to weigh the consequences of your actions. this includes not eating a big mac and fries every day, and keeping your kids from doing the same.
