I want to toss this issue in the air, Where do our personal choices in life end and the corporate responability begin?

Like with Fast Food, Should they be more open about saying "Hey you know, This food is bad for you. Don't eat it so much." or is it our own fault for being the fattest nation in the country?

Or with the tobacco companies, Is it their fault or ours Americans are dying every day because of their products?

I'm interested in what you guys think.

well, it's hard to say really.... because these companies make the products that do harm to people.... but, at the same time.... people continue to purchase the products eventhough they can be harmful....

I really think it has to be a dual responsiblity.... you can't blame someone else if you smoked a pack a day for 20 years and got cancer....

or ate at a fast food place twice and day and got fat....

but, these companies should also be required to inform the public in an honest fasion about how harmful their product is.... most likely an independent study if possible...

It seems as if people became reliant on these products then the shock of this stuff being bad for you set in, but by that time these harmful products became apart of our culture.

I mean, cigarettes and fast food haven't allways had the bad imahe they do now.

People who smoke know its bad for them
People know your going to get fat eating three big macs everyday for lunch
Its their own choice. Personally i think people should be more responsible over their own bodies.

Hey, 'nutrition facts' are posted at fast food places if people wanted to view them for whatever 'healthy' foods there are.

As for smoking... people don't smoke because it's healthy. Not everyone is so obsessed about it. Smoking seriously calms a lot of stressed people out... it's their comfort.

It's the people's choice. The coporations have done what they should already.

Yes, i agree 100%. There are many things that have already been done to 'inform' the public about these things. You would have to be blind and deaf to miss them

People excused the documentary 'Super Size Me' and propaganda.

When in reality I think it was a great message and most people in america should see it.

Here is what it comes down to... you can blame yourself for being fat (acceptable) or blame others (easy to do, but wrong)

I agree with that to an extent.

But the thing I don't like is how McDonalds whores itself to kids with toys, cartoons and playgrounds. That's how they get you addicted to their fatty greasy foods.

No, that was a good point. Anything can kill you!!!! I could have choked on my fork while eating and riped open my food tube (forgot how to spell the acctual word) and bleed to death. My point! People have to be responsible for themselfs, you can't hold their little hands and take little itsy witsy baby steps the whole way.

I'm not saying corporations should do that, I'm just saying they need to lay off some parts of their practices. Like enticing young children with toys and cartoons..

Most kids can tell you who Ronald McDonald is but not Jesus Christ. Scary, eh?

Every company has warnings telling its customers that it may cause harm. What more do you want from them? They're based around business, not health. Your health is your problem, not theirs.
