Well, Beetle?

Time to register/license/ban/confiscate all Big Mac's? After all, "if only one life were saved" and all that. :p

The lawsuit against McDonald's provided fodder for television comedians the world over, but it does target a serious issue. The U.S. Surgeon General says 300,000 premature deaths per year are associated with obesity in America and waistlines in Europe and elsewhere are expanding too.


300,000. Sort of makes 12,000 look small, doesn't it?

Death by Big Mac.

A big mac  and fries are not constitutionally protected either. An easy (excuse the weapon simile) target. After all, no one really NEEDS a big mac. a "PC" broccoly sandwich should do nicely......
