We all know – or should do by now – that the likes of
McDonalds and KFC load their products with chemical additives to make them more
‘appealing.’ We know that some of those additives are linked to behavioural
problems in children, and can also cause other conditions such as headaches and
breathing difficulties in some people. We know that such junk food is high in
cholesterol and fosters obesity.
So why, oh why, do we allow the likes of McDonalds and KFC
to target their advertising at children? More to the point, why do we allow
people under eighteen to even walk through the door of such establishments? Why
is our culture becoming so hysterical about hygiene and unnaturally wrapping
children in cotton wool – to the point, it seems, of suppressing their natural immune
systems – while turning a blind eye to the seventy eight different chemicals
that McDonalds use across its range?
It seems we have fools to the left of us and criminally
greedy entrepreneurs to the right. And they’re both winning by wooing the
gullible.
