Rush Limbaugh Speaks Up for Happy Meals, MSG, 'Real Food'

What is interesting is this whole story started with the issue of the toy promotion, then "somehow" blows up to be about liberals telling you what you can and can't eat. In this case, however, the call is sound.

As far as the toy promotion goes, there have been toys in boxes of cereal and in Cracker Jacks for decades now. Gas stations used to give out free glasses, banks handed out free toasters. Restaurants have "two-for-one" deals. So I disagree with the CSPI in their views.

Obviously, this attack on toys is not an attack on toys at all. It is an attack on the nutritional contents of the Happy Meal itself. Rush is sort of right, but should be angry about the subterfuge demonstrated here. That in itself is far worse than trying to educate people about nutrition choices.

There will continue to be long discussions about what we eat, our general health and the government's role in those issues. However, guising your arguments behind something like a free toy is disingenuous.

The irony is; Rush didn't get fat eating McDonald's meals, he got there eating fine steaks and Cognac, see; Rush is a hedonist and a very successful one at that. The big fat hypocrite strikes again. The ditiots love him because they want to be him, seriously; What kind of desperate person wants to emulate Rush? He is the worlds most expensive cheeseburger!

Rush Limbaugh Speaks Up for Happy Meals, MSG, 'Real Food'

I actually agree with him.. yes.. I am choking writing this.. He should eat all the poisonous crap that he can add to that obese self obsessed egotistical body .. anything that will help his heart/? weaken more.. Lots of bacon for the porker he is. Yes.. he should be allowed to eat it all..and he looks like he has been doing a great job of it.

They're suing McDonald's over happy meals? I need to learn a bit more about this one, but I'm not sure I totally disagree with him. (ACK!!! That just makes me feel dirty all over. : ( )

I think the food industry probably has a lot to answer for, but people can choose what they eat. As far as marketing to kids goes, if you don't want your kids eating McDonald's, don't take them to McDonald's. I don't care what they're hawking, say no. Our kids were uttering the phrase 'heart attack on a bun' by the time they hit two. My husband is like the American version of Jamie Oliver; in the food biz, and always concerned with what's going in the kids mouths. He gives me a hard time over VEGETARIAN sausage being fed to our kids because he feels it's too full of chemicals. He almost imploded once when he found margarine in our house. Needless to say, fast food is pretty much out. I'm not convinced a lawsuit will make parents feed their kids healthier. Education can go a long way.
