104. So is everything in life. How does commenting on it make someone a "Nazi?"
Edited on Wed Apr-14-10 02:57 PM by DirkGently
Seriously. Now it's *fascist* to talk about bad fast food? Now, maybe talking about burning KFC to the ground to stop this wreteched gastric afterbirth might be, but who's doing that? Pointing out how gross a fried chicken, bacon, and cheese sandwich is and laughing about it seems pretty democratic.

Moreover, there is, actually, something seriously wrong with American fast food and fast food marketing. The notion that you're going to try to sell a 1,300 calorie burger or a fried chicken and bacon sandwich or a bag of peanut-oil fries to people who are too busy working or just too poor get decent food is, at best, unwise, and has gotten so extreme that it seems at times malicious.

You can blame America's obsese for their own lifestyles, but how is this type of thing NOT pouring gasoline on a cholesterol-fueled fire? It's not even reasonable to question this endless stream of horrible offerings? It's not, "fair" somehow to ridicule restaurants for producing this glop, as well as ourselves for consuming it? This kind of notion of "food" is not a bad idea?

Or somehow we're not allowed to point out what a bad idea it is and everyone must shut up about it? Who's the "nazi" again?
