I seriously doubt this. People don't eat fast food because of advertising, they eat fast food because of convenience and cost. They CHOOSE McDonalds over the other fast food chains because of advertising, but those others are every bit as bad as Big MD. Anyway, I doubt that the food I get at the local cafe is one bit healthier than a big mac.

I seldom eat fast food anymore and very seldom MDs, but I still get way too much greasy stuff in me. Point is, you can't legislate enough to keep stupid people safe from themselves, and smart people don't need it. Anyway, the government should not be interfering with evolution. In the old days, if the bear was smarter than the hunter, hunter was eaten and didn't make more stupid hunters. Viva la evolution! Besides, who wants to live forever? None of us are getting out of here alive you know, but I would like to live as freely as I can while I'm here, and even these small freedoms are important.
