Statistics Fail. US pop is 308 million. So over 60% of Americans would be around 200 million. Not 100 million.

I worked at MCDonald's and do not regret it. It was a job when others were being laid offed/ fired. The responsibility to eat right is solely on the individual. No one held a gun to their heads and forced them to eat it.

also your the one offering them the food. yes its called selective selling. "would you like to supersize that combo?" or "would you like to try 2 apple pies for a dollar today?"

Bingo.

IMO, I don't like movies like that because as anyone who's ever taken a few statistics courses should know, stats can be twisted to work 'for your cause' in just about ANY scenario if you have the right numbers and crunch them the right way. It seems everyone and their mom seems to think just because there is a correlation (which is EASY to find in just about anything) that there is some form of causation. Which is like rule #1 in stats: Correlation does NOT imply causation.

You could make ANYTHING look worse than it really is with statistics. That's why people use them, because most people don't put the thought into it to find out where their 'statistical argument' fails and falls short.

'selective selling'? Does 'selective selling' make the person buy the product? Or does 'selective selling' make it impossible for the person to use a little personal judgement and just say no? Nope.

If you're going to eat tons of that shit and expect to have no ill-repercussions, that's absolutely stupid. But sadly, those are usually the people who hire a good lawyer and use their own blatant stupidity to make a quick buck, because suing companies for stupid shit that is ultimately that persons responsibility has seemingly become the way to do things.
