Eh...who cares?!
I'm not fat..really, I work out & whatnot..but..I personally dont see "fat" as a big problem(my dad, & grandpa are fat...they haven't had any problems that I know of..).
I'm gonna eat my pringles if I wanna! Big Mac's for everyone! And pass the Herseys, please!

As much as I'd love to get a huge cash settlement from the food industry, isn't marketing their products what they're supposed to do in a capitalist society?

Or maybe they're just doing it the wrong way. So confused...

--"Sweets and Sour Marge" was too close to the truth for comfort. They tried crucifying Big Tobacco, then Big Alcohol, then Big Guns. Big Beef and Big Sugar were the next prime targets....

I just think it's ironic that the Health Professor's last name is "Nestle". Mmm... Now I want some chocolate...

I've agreed with the lawsuits against Big Tobacco, fo rhte most part at least. But if people start suing food companies because of their obesity... [the following statements have been withheld due to the PG nature of this board :) ]

Really, it would be sad and just an example of how the culture of victimization has taken hold of people.

Mmm....Nestle makes the very best....persuasive arguments?

I dunno about you, but I'm goin' to get some choco-latte milk.
