A local fast food joint must have done some research and found that we’re all morons (except you …gentle reader…and I). This fast food place has introduced the Drive Thru Diet with all sorts of fine print on the lower part of the screen. The only exercise you will get with the Drive Thru Diet is the rapid eye movement you must use to see all the disclaimers. There’s one guy from a sub shop who lost a lot of weight and now there’s a woman who spent some time at the drive thru trying to convince us that the number 3 (with a Diet) “may” lead to less. I think it’s offensive especially when I see the state of obese kids & adults wandering around.

May I direct you to read anything by Michael Pollan, the Omnivore’s Dilemma, perhaps where he describes the 38 chemicals in a chicken nugget and not a one of them is chicken. Marketing is EVERYTHING in this world.
