Pointing out that fast food is killing people is akin to doing the same with smokers ... guaranteed to make people more resistant.
So why on earth does everyone in the health industry keep trying to do it?
Leave people alone. If they are happy going down this road ... let them. Since when did any of us become the custodians of anybody's health other than our own and that of our kids?
Ah ... but who's going to pay when things go wrong? Simple. The same people that pay for everything else. The tax payer.
But something must be done! Yes ... get off their case. Stop bothering them and let them get on with it.
Let's get back to good old-fashioned "survival of the fittest".
Why? Because what we're doing now clearly isn't working. In fact it's achieving the opposite. MacDonalds has plans to open more than 1000 new outlets this year. In this economy! Some of them in Walmarts.
When we learn that we can't control the way people manage their own affairs anymore than we can control the whims of Mother Nature, then we may start to get it.
Get what Don? There are over 6.5 billion people on the planet right now. An increasing percentage of these human beings are in crisis.
Do the math. Before Mother Nature does it for us.

Hi Marlene
I am delighted to hear this. Good Luck!
A very simple but effective post. At least one viewer has quit smokng after reading your post as seen from the comments here. Congratulations. The passive smokers are the worst sufferers for no fault of theirs, but the tobacco companies embark upon new strategies to boost sales. Let us concentrate our energy towards saving the younger generation from tobacco as their number is on the rise thoughout the world.
Add me to your Friends list for happy blogging days ahead.
Hi Gopal
Glad you enjoyed the post. Thanks for your input. Sad to say, but by the time this current generation of kids grows up, smoking will be the least of their worries!
