WTF? Of course it's YOUR OWN FAULT if you can't resist a frikkin commercial! If everyone was buying everything that marketting money was put into, everyone would be frikkin broke!

I'm 23, a female, and I'm proud to say that I have not eaten at McDonalds or any similar place since I was about...mm...10 years old? With the exception of that one time I tried (and was disgusted) by their new salads.
I know a good amount of other people who DONT EAT THERE. If there was some of mass mind control going on, then how would so many people I know be able to resist it?

I mean, COME ON PEOPLE! Why is it so hard to take responsibility for your actions? Yes, look down at your 25 rolls and say "This is MY FAULT. I am a lazy BUM. I can't get off my ass to so much as cook spaghetti and I like to eat bad food."
Don't blame the media because you can't sit down with a bottle of coke and only drink one glass. ITS YOUR OWN FAULT! Learn to have some control! Nobody is sitting down and forcing that bottle of coke down your throat. Nobody is driving your car to McDonalds.

You say that the media causes it? Please, tell me how? Because I don't know about you, but when I turn on MY television or open a magazine, I see beautiful people in beautiful clothes. They give me something to strive for. Then there are ads all over the television and magazines saying "lose wight now!" "lose weight!" "lose weight!" If we were really that brainwashed by the media, we'd all by heroin sheek by now.

All we have to blame, at the end of the day, is our sedementary, lazy lifestyles. If you eat at McDonalds for three meals a day, 7 days a week, you have a problem. COOKING is NOT THAT HARD. There are lots of easy meals - hell, I think even slim fast has some TV dinners now. And there are tons of power bars out there that you can eat for breakfast or lunch. Or you can even just make a fruit smoothie with yogurt. Just pour some stuff in the blender, pressa button, pour, and run. THESE THINGS ARE NOT HARD. People just can't get over the fact that a smoothie isn't oozing oil.
Hell, I know a few chicken recipes where you just put some stuff on a baking sheet or something and stick it in the oven for a while. This takes practically NO EFFORT. The only way that's a problem is if you can't press the buttons on a timer.

People need to learn to get off their lazy asses and move away from the television long enough to burn some calories. Another huge problem has nothing to do with where people eat - lack of excersize. With cars these days, people have no reason to get off their asses. JOIN A GYM (and actually go). Yes, it will take work. Yes, you will suck when you start....but, hell, don't you think breaking a sweat is worth it if it adds an extra 10 years to your life and maybe even...*gasp* helps your love life?

SO get off your lazy ass, stop blaming others for your own lack of control, and get to the gym. Oh yeah, and eat a powerbar on your way.
