Or that it at least has to be a little harder for them to make that choice.

To put it another way, isn't this kind of like saying that it should be the blue-collar workers' choice whether they want to work in a factory that adheres to safety guidelines?

Well Spexx is a left wing socialist liberal, so I'd expect that. Pure unadulterated bullshit? I suspect your regimen has separated you from reality. While the food isn't the healthiest, it's far from poison. The numbers I've seen for McDonald's, say only a very small percentage eat there more than once a week, and most say they don't even eat there once a month. Obviously McDonald's isn't the problem, it's what they are eating at home. It's the parents who are responsible, and should be accountable. Are you suggesting the government should make supermarkets remove all cookies, ice cream, prepared foods, candy, etc? Hell, why not outlaw home kitchens, set up chow halls, and make everyone eat there.

Non profit is not sufficient, it has to be charitable, so forget it.

Who stuck that dic inside you? Why are you suddenly being so nasty, illogical, and stupid to everyone? Bruce, has your handle been stolen by UG? The tone and logic in your many replies has clearly changed.

What crawled up you ass and died?

I said, giving money to a non-profit does NOT make it a tax deduction, it has to be a CHARITABLE organization.
I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but you keep fucking with me, and you'll suddenly remember that last time you started this shit.

Thanks for the dismissive comment.

I didn't say that I agreed with regulating fast food, I merely pointed out that the government (taxpayers) does have a vested, financial interest in the issue.

The left wing socialist liberal way of dealing with the issue would be for taxpayers to pay for people's fast food, pay for their healthcare when it makes them ill, and pay for their funerals when they kick. The right wing fascist conservative way of dealing with it would be to let the people eat their fast food, psychopathically ignore them when it makes them ill, and let them rot where they are when they kick. The proposal is between those two extremes, and so is moderate.
