I mean, not too long ago lead was in all sorts of product on the shelf. Lead doesn't kill instantly, it slowly poisons you to death and once that was realize it was banned. The government didn't simply say "don't buy lead product," it said "leaded product are no longer fit to be on the shelves."

No its not, its just high in calories. And as pointed out above, not all of it is.

The govt does not need to make our choices for us.
When it does, that is called totalitarianism, which has no place in a democracy.

And picking on McDonalds is utterly stoopid.
I can eat bacon and ice cream all day without coming anywhere near a McDonalds.
How come no one complains about the french fries and burgers from a jillion other restaurants in the nation?
Next we can start a list from what to pull out of grocery stores.
Then I can go to my dealer and get crack, meth and bacon.
