Here are two different views of how to look at the perceived problem of too much bad fast food for too much of the population. Take a look at both of the articles and let me know what you think!
First, here's a view from Mark Bittman, who is one of my idols, saying that it would be just as easy and less expensive to make a nourishing dinner for four than to take them to McDonalds.
And then, on the other hand, here's a view from the blogger Adam Roberts, of the Amateur Gourmet, saying why don't we just let folks alone...they know what they're eating isn't good for them but they aren't about to stop.
Which side of the fence are you on?

I agree with blogger #1. I can make a really great dinner for 6 people (with leftovers) for less than half of what we would pay for a fast food dinner.
I prefer my wife's food.
Fast food is what is causing a lot of the obesity in this country and poor health...it does matter to everyone because we all pay in the long run with the cost of health care. I've seen the year old McDonald's burger, bun & fries and they look exactly the same as the day they were bought! Gross!!
Both. I wish none of us had those comforting vices, but we do. And I don't walk in the shoes of a single mom, whose kids want McD again tonight, after working my second job. So, there is truth in how much it's costing us as a society as a whole, but I have no judgement about other's vices.
