Accept the blame

Guess what? It isn't the foods fault you are overweight.  It isn't the manufacturers fault for adding "addictive ingredients".  It isn't the advertisers fault for putting it all over the tv and radio.  It isn't McDonalds fault for having food on their menu with so many calories and so high in fat.  THEY didn't make you go to their restaurant.  THEY did NOT make you order chicken nuggets and french fries for your young child and a big mac for yourself.  You did that.  You drove there, you ordered it, and you ate it.  Take responsibility for that.  Right now there is a movement to add more tax to "sin" foods.  The government says it is to hopefully make people think harder about buying those foods so they will get healthier.  I personally believe that it is because they know they can make money off these foods. It doesn't matter how much tax they charge people will keep buying it and the higher the tax the more money the government makes off of people who make choices every day to eat the wrong thing.  I don't care either way what you choose to eat, but I want you to take responsibility for it. Is that too much to ask?
