McDonald's and other processed foods are a major source of trans-fats, possibly the worst kind of fat Man can consume. These foods are doing more damage to people than cigarettes and alcohol.

It would not surprise me, as more countries move toward banning cigarette smoking just abut everywhere, if at some point in the future it became illegal to sell this kind of food. We are already seeing increased food labelling just as we saw nicotine and tar levels displayed on cigarettes. I truly believe this is coming, although maybe not for 10-20 years.
Why on Earth are McDonald's still in business when they are producing something equally as unhealthy as cigarettes...and marketing it to children?
