Quote:Originally posted by dreamtrove: I think theres a difference. If you eat it in moderation, it won't have a serious affect on you. If you develop an early life long habit of eating it, it will. McD's is trying to create the latter, and doing so is illegal, which is the reason for the case, whether we agree with the law or not. I'm all for the libertarian free state, but those natural rights don't include the powers of corporations. Because we have corporations, we need a means to control them. If we just had corporations, they would almost instantly become a government through collusion. Sure, theres potentially a better solution, but I'm still tempted to agree with the claim. It seems predatory to me.
