Let’s start today off with a rant…all together now:

MCDONALD’S IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR KIDS BEING FAT.

Period.

I ate at McDonald’s as a child, we all did. Did we all get fat because of it? No. Considering the number of times I see the words “McDonald’s” and “fast food” in various blogs, I’m guessing it’s far more prevalent and socially acceptable in today’s “fast paced” I’m-so-busy-I-can’t-be-bothered-to-fix-a-good-meal society to just drive it through.

That’s fine…but understand that unbearable amounts of fat, sodium and other crapola are going into your mouth and the mouths of your kids. If your kids sit on their asses all the time and chat online with their friends or play video games, they’re not getting any exercise and they WILL GET FAT. The same logic holds true for us adults.

The lawsuit alleges that tens of thousands of children have suffered obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and other health problems after being misled about McDonald’s products.

Misled? What rock have these people been living under for the last twenty years? I can tell you that Sonic’s cherry limeades and pretty much the rest of Sonic’s menu is single-handedly responsible for putting about twenty pounds on me before I stepped away from the staticky speaker, said, “No, I don’t want tots or fries with that” and took back my life.

You don’t see me suing Sonic because, well, that would just be stupid.
