		<description>I, for one, actually use the calorie information to make wise food choices when I go out.  It is there for you to use or not.  You still have free will.  

But, your point about &quot;big brother&quot; is for those edicts that force you to do something against your free will, based on other people&#039;s values.  Well, I can see why these edicts are put into place.  It is because of people that are not responsible for the common good of all.

The problem I have with &quot;freedom of choice&quot;, regarding your right to eat yourself to death with bad food choices, is that the rest of us who watch our diets have to pay for your bad choices.  I am being responsible and you are not.  I will end up having to pay for higher health insurance rates because your bad health will raise my rates.  You are forcing me to pay for your health bills down the road when you develop diabetes or can&#039;t walk any longer, etc. and lose your job and go on Medicaid.

I am appalled by the number of overweight people in this country.</description>

		<description>This is silly...........you mean you didn&#039;t know fast food was bad for you.  It started out 50 years ago as a treat at the county fair or once a month on a family outing.  PEOPLE it&#039;s not meant to be eaten as all 3 squares 24/7 365.   Were have the American brains gone..........down the toilet with the garbage food they consume and their political believes.  GIVE ME A LARGE ONE

If you are dining out at t a oh let&#039;s say a fine dining establishment like a French Restaurant what do you think you will find in most of your food......BUTTER but of course.  Goose liver snails and puppy dog tails.  Do we need the meal broken down on what amount of fat and salt you are intaking........there goes the fun of a nice night out and a wonderful tasting meal.  Ah but the good old Government has their hands in other peoples pockets, brains and right to breath/breed and die.   WELCOME BIG BROTHER wake up people this might not seem like a big deal oh but it is.

Wake up human race before we are all dead or puppets.</description>
