I read not too long ago that Ronald McDonald is now compared to Joe Camel.
Since I believe the Analogy is somewhat harsh I have decided to write a commentary on it.
There has been a lot of controversy over fast food, granted, but at the same time
cigarettes are far more detrimental.
To liken Ronald McDonald to Joe Camel is equal to likening Jack the Ripper to Frosty the Snowman. I also read not too long ago about a woman who sued McDonald's for making her obese.
Both the analogy and lawsuit I find absurd. I mean come on people, Ronald did not force that big mac into your hands or down your throat.
American society as a whole has a tendency to "pass the buck" as far as responsibility for their health goes. To me the main issue here is self control.
Instead of blaming the fast food industry for the obesity crisis, lay off the big mac and fries.
This may seem a little harsh, but consider it tough love my friends.
Instead of likening Ronald McDonald to Joe Camel I suggest we first look in the mirror.
Ultimately, we are responsible for our own health.
If you feel you have a problem with over eating, go talk to a counselor or dietitian.
Take responsibility for your health, get help when you first notice a problem.
Don't wait until the problem escalates and you are so out of shape you can't get up in the morning.
