It looks like they intend to do the same thing to McDonald's that they did to Big Tobacco.
First, there's the movement to ban Happy Meal toys, which has already garnered some success in California, proposals for higher taxes on Big Mac's and now they're trying to run them out of hospital food courts.
Funny as the Gov is buying PINK SLIME to feed our kids..... Oh that McDonals rejected! I ask Who is really the problem?
Pink Slime For School Lunch: Government Buying 7 Million Pounds Of Ammonia-Treated Meat For Meals
Pink slime -- that ammonia-treated meat in a bright Pepto-bismol shade -- may have been rejected by fast food joints like McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King, but is being brought in by the tons for the nation's school lunch program.
Sounds like a good thing to me. Unhealthy eating and its medical consequences are one of the factors driving up the cost of health care for the rest of us.
If meechell wants healthy eating why in the world would they attack Organic Farmers? Because the Gov wants to be the only food source thats why. US Government Attacks Organic Farmers in Nevada
For about five years now, Quail Hollow Farm has been growing organic produce and raising healthy, pasture-based animals which it provides to members as part of a CSA program
Laura Bledsoe explains in a letter to her guests written after the fact that two days prior to the event, SNHD contacted the farm to say that, because the picnic was technically a ‘public’ event, the couple would have to obtain a ‘special use permit,’ or else face a very steep fine. Not wanting to risk having the event disrupted, the Bledsoes agreed to jump through all the demanded legal hoops even though their gathering was really just a backyard picnic.
But the day of the event, an inspector from SNHD, Mary Oaks, showed up and declared that all the food the Bledsoes would be serving was ‘unfit for consumption,’ and that it would have to be destroyed. Though there was no logical or lawful reasoning behind this declaration, and the Bledsoes had complied with all the requirements, Oaks insisted that the food be discarded and destroyed using a bleach solution.

LETS BE CLEAR: This is not a governement proposal but a request from a private advocacy group. As such I believe they have every right to exercise their freedom of speech and to choose.
And if they don't like McDonalds they are not forced to eat there.

Be careful what you wish for, they'll be coming after you too, and your dirty little habits.

I absolutely agree. Each situation can exist independant of the other.
