Food

America is the only country in the world where everything is someone else’s fault and then our government spends millions fixing problems due to lack of personal accountability. A prime example of this is the question should the government pass laws to regulate the types of food fast food restaurants serve? Right now a country with a record high national debt, poor public health care and third world public education system is spending millions of US tax payer’s dollars. The real question should be whatever happened to personal accountability?
Almost every national chain fast food restaurant now has healthy meal options on their menu. Subway has established themselves as a healthy alternative to normal fast food options but the consumer must choose that option. You can still get a Philly cheese steak sandwich with chips, cookies and a large Mello Yellow. That has three days worth of fat grams in one sitting. If I choose to eat one sandwich over another that is my choice and I must live with my choices. This goes for everything else in life it’s my personal responsibility. Should the government limit all vehicles so that they can only do 70 mph? You can kill a lot more people with a car than with an extra value meal at Burger King.
I’ve also had a Blooming Onion and Outback steak house with its 500% of your daily recommended fat allowance and loved it! They have salads on many other healthy choices on their menu but about once every other year that’s what I want. No one forces me to eat it and the restaurant is honest about how fatting it is but I still eat it. Our government has way bigger issues they need to deal with than regulating food. If they enacted sweeping change to the food industry for the good of their people what’s next my home. If I can’t get what I want a restaurant but can have whatever I want at home what to do these laws really do?
This seems like a very simple problem to address. If you make poor food choices on a consistent basis then you will be fat. You need to take personal responsible responsibility for your actions. If you kids are fat and they only eat junk and are inactive that is the parents fault and they need to take responsibility for that and quite pointing fingers.
