But yeah, live and let live.

You say that talking about an industry that is directly and indirectly responsible for thousands of deaths and the lowering of hundreds of thousands of people's quality of life.

What's so wrong in making your living selling people shit that they chose to buy?
|
It's wrong because you are allowing people to have a detrimental effect on themselves and society a large; it's even worse because fast food corporations
encourage you to buy their shit. They even pretend it's not bad for you. It's not about being mentally fit and psychiatry, it's about thinking and psychology. These companies
are psychologists. They know
exactly what they're doing and how best to get you into their outlets. They know precise what makes kids tick, and they take advantage of that. If people want burgers, they
can make them themselves. I do, and I know exactly what goes in them, too, and how what's in them was obtained.

Why are we in britain so goddamn obsessed with harming business? Because of our stupid politically correct views (for instance, saying no to fast food), we now have no industry, and import just about everything. Our export market is one of the worst in the world and employment is suffering because of it. This means that our economy is going down the drain, the cost of living is going through the roof, and britain is turning into a fancy little retirement island full of people who're living off the pensions they earned back when Britain actually had some decent jobs on offer.

I'm guessing you were just going on a rant here, but most of this is rubbish. Britain has no industry because we lost most of our endogenous comparative advantages. Our export market remains the sixth largest in the world, our unemployment is lower than is has been for the last quarter of a century, our economy is one of the strongest in Europe and climbing. The cost of living is going through the roof because people are getting paid more and demanding ever-higher qualities of life from sources who are all too eager to charge more for it, and the aging population is a result of the Baby Boom and nothing to do with the economy or ethical consumerism.

If you're a parent and you take your kids to eat in McDonalds often enough for it to be a risk to their health, then you are an irresponsible parent. McDonalds is after all a fast food resteraunt.
|
Absolutely you are, and I agree the government isn't doing everything is could to solve the problem, but public awareness of health is increasing dramatically. I fear it's just another fad and dread the next swing of the cultural pendulum, but the awareness we teach children now is still going to be there when they're parents. I'd like to again point out that fast food needn't be synonymous with shit food.
