If people would buy those things (more healthy food items, whatever that is suppose to be), then they would sell them. Anyway, what exactly do they have that is supposed to be so "unhealthy"? Is there something terribly awful about their hamburger meat that makes it different from some other restaurant where you can buy a hamburger? Or is it the bun? I'm sure the bun is not all that different from one you might buy in a package at the grocery store. The lettuce, the tomato? Oh, gee, maybe it is the "special sauce" that ought to be considered a biological weapon. French fries? Again, virtually every American food restaurant in America sells french fries, so why is McDonalds to blame?
Honestly, I like to eat healthy and try to do it as much as I can at home, which means most of my meals (healthy to me means the least packaged and processed, and balanced food groups). But I see no reason to vilify McDonalds or any other fast food restaurant. I will eat at one of them every once in a while, say, once every three months or so, when for some reason I especially want to grab a meal fast. This would not be my every day, every meal diet, but then, NOTHING is. There is a restaurant that friends from work and I like to go to for happy hour every once in a while…again, about once every couple of months. Should I think my health was being destroyed because I had their discount-priced cocktail, fried calimari, hamburger sliders, or mini pizzas? Everything in moderation. Everyone in the country is going to go out to eat every once in a while. Go to a fast food restaurant, go to a bar, have popcorn and candy at the movie theater, get peanuts at the ball game, periodically grab some junky sticky bun from a vending machine, or whatever. To think we're not is just fooling ourselves. You can't "ban" these things, and it is stupid to even suggest it.
