I do not think that you can compare fast food to cigarettes. Fast food is natural, the buns, meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes and what not all come from natural sources. You may not like the way they cook these foods, but they are natural. I, for one, think we need to let people make their own choices about what is good for them and what is not. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't drink alcohol, I never had sex before I was married and there are a myriad of other things that I did not and do not do. Because I feel this way, should I impose my beliefs and values onto anyone else? I don't think so. You have a right to choose and I don't feel that choice should be taken away from you. The way I live my life is not popular but I believe it is healthier for me. Having said this, I do not feel that you can compare food to cigarettes. It is like comparing apples to tires. Two entirely different things. If you were to ask is smoking worse for you or is LSD worse for you, then that is more of a comparable or asking is McDonald's worse for you or is Subways worse for you? I think that would be a better comparison but to compare cigarettes to fast food just seems to be incomparable.
