The franchises are suing The King over loss leading double cheeseburgers. They say they are losing 10% or 10 cents for every burger sold. What thay aren't saying is they are expected to make up for the loss by selling soda pop and fries. Sugar and fat to go with the saturated fat and fake cheese food on said cheeseburgers. The thing is, to me, the cost of subsidized fast foods is passed on to the rest of society while the POWERS get "fat profits" with subsidized meat and dairy products. Your tax dollars are used to advertise these loss leaders and to promote the cheese on the burger while a head of broccoli cost $1.88. Why can't the USDA promote cheap broccoli? The man is getting fat but he isn't eating double cheeseburgers. He is eating our healthy souls and laughing all the way to his investments portfolio in big pharma where the real profits are...Eat your burger,ignorant public, take your sivastatin and be glad we have such "abundance" in our food system.
