Here’s a thought:
If you don’t like mcDonalds, don’t go...
But that’s not enough for the fascists....y’all seek to control what I want as well..
My wife is a physician(MD)...
We love mcDondalds fries and feed them to our children...
Expand upon your thought process here, you claim that it is "fascist" to be concerned about a multinational corporation poisoning the populace!?
Apparently you are so proud of this toxicity being dumped on everyone you proudly declare that you feed your children this poison? And your wife is a "MD" to boot??
I am sorry but it is not "freedom" to sell poison masked as food, it is insidious and evil. Attempting to mask it as an issue of choice is absurd, you seem to understand that all of the ingredients that the OP listed is poison and apparently you are OK with that, however most people are not aware of how toxic the food is, therefore are not making an informed decision.
To me the "Fascism" lies in the power of these corporations to own the FDA/AHA/USDA/CDC etc on down the line and have the ability to propagate "scientific" studies that allow these companies to poison the populace, and own the educational system to indoctrinate each new generation into your kind of thought process, including "MDs".
Honestly your argument is as valid as people who defended Big Tobacco throughout the 20th century, but I am sure you and your MD for a wife would buy your own children cigarettes in order to stand up for the right to consume poison! I mean "Freedom" right!?
I am exaggerating here, I am just so sick of this BS argument about why the Fast food/Grocery monopoly gets to poison children and adults until the grave because of.. ahem "freedom to choose which poison" we ingest.

Pretty much a conspiracy fact...
It appears they have figured out how to profit off of us buying their poisonous food/water (because of the right to sell us poison)
they then profit off us taking their medications that are designed for us to be on them for life (because Western Medicine is the best!)
and then working us to the age of 65 (going up) right when the body can not handle the toxic food/medicine any longer(they get our pension) and voila you got a great slave society set up... you know with extra steps!
This is without getting into the debt slavery that is on top off all of this!

I go to McD's quite often, was there earlier which inspired this thread.

It is always choice, but you seem to be defending additives and chemicals which are banned in food for 500+ million people yet approved for Americans. Strange.

Sorry if our love of McDonald’s triggers you and your ilk..

Who is triggered? Not me, I'm making social commentary on the # food the US government allows for sale to it's citizens while the rest of the developed world says "Urm no, it's not cool to sell that as food".
Butt hurt much? lol

The government gets no say in what I care to eat. If they want to recommend, that's fine.
People are capable of making their own choices without big brother.

I'm quite pleased that the UK government enforces food standards and ingredients. How the # would I know if purchased food had dodgy ingredients in without relying on enforcement by government to reduce the chances?
Oh and you can go on about growing your own food etc but it ain't an option for me so mine is mostly purchased.
...but purchased food products in the UK are much more restricted than in the US, heck, loads of stuff you can't import here...I wonder why.
