Black Dog Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 That goes beyond simple advocacy. Advocating people eat healthy, and informing them of proper foods is fine. Telling Restaurants to change their recipies, and how to market them is none of her businesses. Working with restaurants to convince them to change their menus is simple advocacy. Not only that, but can't somebody enjoy these foods in moderation? Why do recipies and menus hav to change for everyone, because some fat slob can't control themselves? What's next? Having Jack Daniels cut its alcohol percentage in half because some people can't stop drinking too much? Michelle Obama would agree with you that this stuff is okay in moderation. That would seem to be why she's only pushing for changes to children's menus. Quote

BubberMiley Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Wow. When I was recently challenged to match a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society, I thought I still had a choice. I didn't realize it was compulsory. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
