    Perhaps we should have huge health warnings like you get on cigarettes on McDonalds ... "THIS HAMBURGER WILL INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE"

    You can't get chips in a Macdonalds :)

    I wish he wouldn't let crap like that out though, a fair amount of the stuff he actualy does seems on the right side of good.

    Much as I hate to agree with Charlie, the bugger's got something right for once. McDs should be got rid of. Along with Burger King and every other multi-multi-national selling greasy fried heart disease.

    Ahh the rump of the aristocracy battling the bourgeoisie under the false impression that they still represent a ruling class....

    Just a bit of textbook Marx, I don't really believe that's his actual motivation for hitting out at MacDonald's, but you could certainly interpret it within that framework....

    Anyway, i voted no, as it shouldnt be abolished, but it should however be seized under workers control and produce healthier (and tastier) burgers

    i think banning anything because people are too stupid to stop eating there every day is a bad idea. but then, y'all's medicine is totally socialized. i guess all your food should be socialized and doled out according to strict nutritional laws and standards.

    aswell as health warnings they should have the average amount of rainforest or treeland destroyed for each burger or whatever, and also the amount of space their freakin restaurants take up, on each packet, if the damn thing is to stay open. They should also be stopped from using plastic so much

    How about an increase on taxation of fast food products, like we have for alcohol and cigarettes ... these things cause a huge drain on the NHS, perhaps those who use such harmful food products should have to contribute more through taxation? If we make chips and burgers extremely expensive it will discourage people from eating them too often...
