There's also issues of the U.S. banning dangerous insecticides and then us injesting them anyway because it's cheaper to buy produce from other countries and ship it here...other countries that don't have the strict bans and regulations that we have. I guess my main gripe here was just the fact that it's fast food--it's poison anyway. Forget the oil.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959693.post-53156916791510172252007-05-17T06:53:00.000-07:002007-05-17T06:53:00.000-07:00Is there legislation to protect them from being su...Is there legislation to protect them from being sued? I didn't know that. Ironic. All of the fast death...ahem, I mean fast food places have bowed to the pressure of lawsuits, though. Even KFC has changed the Colonel's orginal recipe to conform. I think they had to or they couldn't operate in cities that have banned trans fats like NY and Philly.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe in coincidence, Christian...only serendipity. :-PShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638088901866929061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959693.post-72211993570724610522007-05-17T03:54:00.000-07:002007-05-17T03:54:00.000-07:00rant on, sistah!

Large corporations get approval to feed us/paint us/treat us/do all sorts of things to us and we do don't understand the ramifications of what's happening.<BR/><BR/>How many diners at BK give any thought to the cooking oil? Even if they did, how many would understand the issues?<BR/><BR/>Saying people were responsible for their own choices was fine when the world was a simpler place and we did not have large multinational corporations trying to package and sell us things we don't understand to their benefit and our detriment.John Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07407165016025447113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36959693.post-51984464330395692032007-05-16T15:10:00.000-07:002007-05-16T15:10:00.000-07:00It's kind of like people complaining about gas pri...It's kind of like people complaining about gas prices being so high. If we all started driving less, the prices would come down.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't think this case will fly because there's legislation in place to protect fast food companies from this kind of thing. They were put in place just after the tobacco lawsuits...and don't even get me started on that one...J Alan Erwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961944518711473445noreply@blogger.com
