Default Corporate Responsiblity for Obesity

A lot of things are hard to do. That doesn't relieve you of
responsibility for doing them.

Well, that may be true for the peanuts ...


It's true for everything, unless you're a goose being force-fed to
produce foie gras.

... although these are _awful_ hard to leave alone once you
get going ...


Speak for yourself. Many people seem to have far more self-control.

Plus, once the bag is open, they're all over the place - under
the seats, between the carpet pieces, in the door pockets - you
can't keep 'em contained.


Here again, you are speaking only for yourself. Ronald McDonald isn't
pouring them down your throat.

But the cokes / pepsi's - you either drink 'em all, or... you have a _warm_
coke/pepsi after you seal it and then try to come back to it later in the day.


Just throw the unused portion away.

I just think that the Corporations can't get a "pass" on their culpability in
helping make America fat all the way to a health crisis, which this is.


You just don't want to take responsibility for your own weight
problem. That's the real crisis.

Recently, the candy machine people substituted the "King Size" Hershey with
Almods bar I was eating at the regular size. Not only is this thing $1.00
instead of 65 cents, but it is huge!


I guess you'll end up throwing quite a bit of it away ... right?

I don't know how many calories it is, but its more than I want to
dive into.


See above.

And... they're not helping... but they're not going to sell it to me.


No ... you're going to buy it, and that's your decision, not theirs.
