You also don't buy a carton of cigarettes and get a Toy Story 3 toy... -----Original Message----- From: Scott Stroz [mailto:boyz...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 1:36 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Watch out. The fat police are on patrol again.
And yet, you can still by buy cigarettes supermarket, gas station, convenience store, etc... This is bullshit, plain and simple. Why not target EVERY restaurant that provides kids meals that are unhealthy? I really am getting sick of the bullshit that we need to protect people from their own stupidity. The problem is not with McDonalds, its with stupid people having babies.
