If everyone in America started following the reccomendations of the health promotion programs supported by fast-food companies like McDonald's, do you think those companies would meet their estimated profits?

• I agree. Don't be a fatty ding dong, cook at home.

• You have a point that people make a choice to go to fast food restaurants, but if what you cook at home is indeed, by almost any stretch of the imagination, home cooking, then I can virtually guarantee that it's healthier than what's served at most fast food joints.
  Thank you for not answering the question, by the way.

• Sorry...Yes, I think they would. I have worked in a few in my younger days and they cooked the burgers and spuds, etc., the same way and with the same stuff my mom cooked them at home. No, they did not use lard. Nor do any of them advertize that you should eat their food every day instead of a home cooked meal.

• Just as a side note: My family is extremely poor, we get our food from the food bank, and the food my mum prepares at home has *Always* been healthier than any of the menu items at McDonalds.
  .
  That claim is precisely why I asked this question: They may not state that you should eat their food so often as to be unhealthy, but let's look at how much they *Really* want and expect people to eat their food. If these companies are openly saying "We Want to Make This Much This Quarter", and that amount of profit would be practically unachievable without some people eating themselves into health problems, then they *Are*, in effect, advocating and promoting those unhealthy choices, no matter how they may advertise.
