Absolutely, I think it's ludicrous. That's definitely one of the issues in the US with our obesity problem.

Yea, I was totally blown away with the replies I got. I guess people don't like to hear the truth!

However, people who make bad food choices are riddling their bodies with cancer-causing chemicals and…
