    Healthy Sponsors don't bring in the big $$$ that McDonald's and Coke do. If they did, less people would be obese and in poor health.

    I recently watched an interview with the Executive Chef for McDonald's Test Kitchen and he said that if people would stop buying Big Mac's and the like, McDonald's would have no other choice but to replace them with healthier items.

    As a celiac, personally I don't eat McDonalds here in the UK, there is nothing I can eat there. Ditto BK. Can't drink beer either so that rules out Heineken too! If I went to the Olympics, I'd be living on Coke, bet they don't allow you to take your own food in.

    This. For the first time, I'm actually quite pleased I didn't get tickets for any of my favourite events, if I wouldn't be allowed to bring my own gluten-free food.

    I brought a box full of food to the Olympics recently and they didn't say anything. They just don't allow you to bring in large bottles of liquid!
