Remember when all the rage in the scientific community was finding the so-called "fat gene"? You know, the gene that you're born with which means you'll be overweight some day and there's nothing you can do about it?
Well, 3 years ago they found the fat gene and the scientists then discovered what the general populace already knew: finding a fat gene only gives an excuse - not a solution.
Demonstrating yet again that responsibility is dead in today's society, we are in search for yet another excuse. Except this time, it's political:
From Fark.com:
The Left: The food industry and advertisers are big bullies that practically force feed people with gimmicks and high-calorie treats. The Right: You're fat, your faultThe Fark link goes to this article.
Until I see McDonald's start posting shotgun toting Ronald McDonald's by the trash bins in their restaurants, I don't think the "left" has a notion to stand on. Unfortunately, this is just the type of ammunition litigators need to clog our court systems with more frivolous, big money lawsuits as they attempt to right the wrongs done to their clients that can't say no.
