I choose not to patronize McDonald's. I think the quality of their food is horrendous. That being said, it is ridiculous that the government is trying to "protect" our children buy limiting their drink choice with a kids meal. Apparently eating all of the fired 'food" imaginable is fine... but the pop. Oh no! That is where we draw the line. Its absurd.
Its like only allowing diet soda in schools. Sure they are lower calories... but what chemicals are they replacing the sugar with? It's not "get smart and healthy" powder I can assure you of that.
I agree and I also think it comes down to choice. We let people ride bicycles on ramps and jump up high don't we? We praise athletes who ruin their bodies with rigorous training required to be competitive. I feel like this kind of stuff is just an expression of preference by a popular group that the rest follow.
