Meantime, a billion or two hamburgers are sold giving sustenance and pleasure to their eaters. Consumer Reports in its survey of hamburgers said that the meat content of McDonalds was very good – but you got less meat than from its competitors.

 

There is a certain arrogance in those who want to force their ideas on others. After all, they know better than the common herd who should be made to do what is good for them.

 

Your fat man ate only organic food – mostly salads and no meat - so he never enjoyed a hamburger.

 

He just ate too much of it.

 

In the US there are 300 deaths a year from riding bicycles. Why don’t you stop people riding these dangerous contrivances – of course, for their own good.

Exactly! Free trade is preferable to robber-baronism.
