With all the TV, print, and internet haranguing about kids nutrition, there's no excuse for not knowing fast food is not a good steady diet for their kids. So parents can't hide behind ignorance, they have to make the choice. But goddammit, it shouldn't be the government making that choice.

It'll be the government who eventually will foot much of the bill for the health problems caused by poor choices, so maybe they have a vested interest.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. That is nothing but good nutrition.

You are assuming people used intelligence to also know Saddam did not have WMDs. Facts said so. But an overwhelming majority only hear and only believe what propaganda tells them to believe. Facts be damned. Because of how people think (as proven here by Saddam's WMDs), almost everyone would *know* that list is nothing but best nutrition. We are told so every day even on TV kid shows. It must be true.

For your assumption to be true, you must explain the so many Cellar posts in 2002 and 2003 that believed WMDs when hard facts said otherwise.
