I think what they're trying to claim is that fast food restaurants should offer "a larger variety to the consumers, including non-meat vegetarian, less grams of fat, and a reduction of size". What a load of bullshit!! Do you know where you can get all that? In the bloody supermarket! It's not as if we're dependent on fast food chains for our nutrition, so if you want less fat and smaller meals, just cook them yourself! Like Larry I'm actually underweight and sometimes eat fast food... should I demand that they make even bigger, fatter meals
so I can gain weight?
In other parts of the world people are dying of malnutrition and hunger, for God's sake!
I can understand that some people have a fair case against tobacco companies: if they started smoking a long time ago, it's possible that they have been mislead into thinking smoking is harmless or even healthy. But I don't think ANY fast food chain has ever tried to claim that having supersized meals three times a week is healthy! It's always been common knowledge that too much fat is unhealthy, so this man only has himself to blame.
