They compared it to a fancy menu in a very expensive restaurant. The sauce alone which was made with cream had more calories than a big mac. Conclusion was that ithe health concerns re: fast food result from snobbery and a mean desire to order people about.ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-28245928879147829402013-11-20T17:36:13.930+00:002013-11-20T17:36:13.930+00:00"Fast food is addictive – our brains crave th..."Fast food is addictive – our brains crave the saturated and transfats, and the more we have…the more we crave.

They never see the demonstrable harm they cause, but always see benefits where none ever exist. This is why only the very best liars rise to the top of the public health industry, such superlative selective sight is a very difficult skill to master.Dick_Puddlecotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-42190153589675319722013-11-20T17:09:01.050+00:002013-11-20T17:09:01.050+00:00The assault on fast food is mostly driven by snobb...The assault on fast food is mostly driven by snobbery and oneupmanship.
