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.

We are the government. So long as you have the right to vote you get to decide what the government can or can't do.

There are plenty of food unfit for consumption, more so in this country than in many others. The egregious use of pink slim by the fast food industry in this country makes their food unfit for human consumption.

To McDonalds credit they have recently stopped using pink slime. Still, when you add the other crap they use in their food products along with what they feed the animals slaughter they can still be classifed as unfit for consumption. It's all empty calories.
