McDonald's make people fat? Really?

Another company is yet again making trouble with McDonald's. They are claiming that by Mckie D's putting toys in their happy meals it is causing kids to get fat. Slippery slope? I think so. This must be their thinking: Toys in happymeals=kids getting fat. What about this one then: Parents $=happymeal. So then it is safe to assume the following: Parents=kids getting fat.

Companies: Stop blaming Mckie D's for peoples health problems. They only way you should be allowed to sue them is if a CEO of Mckie D's holds people hostage and shoves valuemeals down their throats for WEEKS MONTHS...otherwise McDonald's is not directly respondible. The accusations that are being put out there are slippery slope, which is a rhetorical fallacy and shouldn't hold up in court.

People: STOP blaming McDonald's for your health problems. No one is making you eat there. Do not use the excuse that healthy food is too expensive! By not driving to McDonald's for all your meals, think about the gas you WON'T be using..then think about how much money you will save by not using that gas! No Excuses.

Therefor, the only people to blame for kids being overweight is the caretakers. UNLESS the child has a health related issue that cause weightgain. Otherwise..they are to blame. Also, what about Burger King, Wendy's, Arby's, Hardees, Taco Bell..etc. Are they not just as equally to blame as McDonald's? Then why aren't they getting blamed? Lets just be honest people, McDonald's brings in the most revenue so you want their money! This is just all pointless.

Sincerely,

Simply Irritated.
