The purveyor of obesity-inducing foods is no longer backing the ultimate in physical fitness.

Thanks for letting us know Capt Dwayne Conyers that multibillion annual dollar international McDonald's is pulling it's Olympic sponsorship.
The Olympics is certainly not the ultimate in physical fitness although the runner who collapsed dead after delivering the news of the battle of Marathon gave his all back in the ancient world.
The modern Olympics has some gifted athletes and a lot of corporate and national organizational shills IMHO>
Thanks for alerting me SGT (Join to see)

No food is "obesity inducing." McDonald's does not have press gangs that run out on the side walk or yank people out of cars, drags them into the restaurant and tube feeds them burgers, fries, and shakes. So please let's forego the gratuitous demonization. I am glad that I live in a country where I am free to make a choice.

As a kid I ate quite a bit of McDonald's and other fast foods, but I didn't have computer games and the only TV I watched was the Wide World of Disney and a Ball game on the weekend with my Dad (as long as I did not speak). Otherwise if it was daylight I was out playing. And no I was not blessed with a high metabolism.

Maj John Bell, the term “obesity inducing“ simply refers to the high caloric content and low nutritional value in fast foods.

Of course, nobody is forced to eat. And, a childhood friend (and former Marine) used to inhale Big Mac combos faster than I could finish a single bite and was fit.

Capt Dwayne Conyers - All foods have associated health risks. For example the next person who puts kale, kohlrabi, okra or beets on my plate may find that those items are black-eye and fat lip inducing. Quite frankly I am part of the backlash that is tired of people telling me how to take care of myself.
