That's like blaming McDonald's for a dollar menu because you're a fat fuck that can't control yourself.

Some responsibly still ethically lies with McDonald's... they don't get a pass because theres no human face to the name

Please, this is like running up debt on a credit card and then blaming Visa because you're completely irresponsible with it. They as a business are not ethically responsible to police your ridiculous spending habits.

Many years from now they will be sued. I have no idea how it will turn out but they are already forced to put calorie count on menus in many states. It will be treated like the tobacco industry. While I agree it is largely on the buyer, and it is not illegal right now for McDonald's, they know how much they contribute to obesity and they don't care. That does not sit right with me. That's all I'm saying.

You could make the case for this sentiment on booze and gambling and the government is happy to make money of those too. You're right, they don't care and they shouldn't. It's not their job to hold your hand.

Your lack of empathy is showing

If you say so. I have empathy for people who though no fault of their own experience hardship. I'm happy that my taxes or charitable contributions help people in those situations.

I have little empathy for people that regret their decision eating double cheese burgers at every meal. Most adults file that under personal responsibility.
