I thought he was being satirical. At least until I kept reading. Fox and Ravens Send a noteboard - 29/07/2013 03:15:12 AM

Thinking that a McDouble is the greatest food on earth? Okay, buddy. I mean, he does make some points. But fast food almost always makes people fat. At least when eaten on a regular basis. If you want to be healthy, you shouldn't be eating those kinds of foods. I'm not saying eat organic or sustainable. I'm just saying, you need to eat a balanced diet. Eat veggies and fruit once in a while. I don't think people should be restricted from eating at fast food joints (or shopping at walmart). I simply think that they should know what goes into their food and make a decision with that in mind as well as money.

And another point on veggies and fruits being luxury goods. You can get a head of lettuce for a couple bucks. A few apples and a bunch of bananas for the same. 6 bucks for all the fruits and veggies 1 person needs for a week. I don't really see how that's luxury goods.

Go Hokies!
