How about we examine the choices, intentions, and lifestyle of those who are considered "victims" before we go after third parties with completely baseless accusations of wrong-doing. It is not McDonald's fault if you're fat. It's your fault, because you are fucking eating at McDonald's.

I think there's a lot of truth to this. There have been times in my life where I ate pretty much nothing but junk food and, at this point in my life, I'm eating a fairly balanced diet. I think the big knock against healthy food is that it's often more difficult to make. Most "convenience" foods (like fast food, microwaveable stuff, etc.) tend to be unhealthy. My grocery bill is actually lower now that my girlfriend and I are buying healthy food and cooking.
