Who is responsible for the nations' childhood-obesity epidemic?

McDonald's Readies Strategy
To Deflect Critic's Next Barrage

By JANET ADAMY and RICHARD GIBSON
April 12, 2006

McDonald's Corp. is gearing up to forestall a wave of negative publicity that could follow the release of a movie version of the bestseller "Fast Food Nation" and a new book by its author, Eric Schlosser.

Mr. Schlosser's new book, "Chew On This," a 270-page title aimed at 11- to 15-year-olds, is scheduled to come out next month. The book, co-written with Charles Wilson, theorizes that fast-food companies are responsible for the nation's childhood-obesity epidemic and criticizes them for being low-wage employers.

Publisher Houghton Mifflin Co. says in promotional materials for the book that it will show kids "the fascinating and sometimes frightening truth about what lurks between those sesame-seed buns." ..more...

It makes me remember the brainwashing TV ad from Campbell...

DEAD KENNEDYS LYRICS

"Soup Is Good Food"

We're sorry
But you're no longer needed
Or wanted
Or even cared about here
Machines can do a better job than you
This is what you get for asking questions

The unions agree
'Sacrifices must be made'
Computers never go on strike
To save the working man you've got to put him out to pasture

Looks like we'll have to let you go
Doesn't it feel fulfilling to know
That you-the human being-are now obsolete
And there's nothing in hell we'll let you do about it

[Chorus]
Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more)
You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more)
Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash
We're sorry
You'll just have to leave
Unemployment runs out after just six weeks
How does it feel to be a budget cut?
You're snipped
You no longer exist

Your number's been purged from our central computer
So we can rig the facts
And sweep you under the rug
See our chart? Unemployment's going down
If that ruins your life that's your problem

Soup is Good Food, Etc.
We're sorry
We hate to interrupt
But it's against the law to jump off this bridge
You'll just have to kill yourself somewhere else
A tourist might see you
And we wouldn't want that
