? You need to identify the restaurants that do not offer different sizes...then stop going there if it offends you...problem solved, without government intervention...and once the restaurant realizes they have lost customers they will adjust!
Bet you can't!

We the people have a right to petition the government to investigate harmful products and if found to be harmful, to regulate or ban the product!
You really think the government will jump through hoops for every nut job out there?

Take the two highlighted quotes and follow your own advice...you obviously haven't looked into government controls on resturants or food products offered to the public.

I have a better idea. Why don't all you guys move to Europe? And take Obama with you.
Why don't you and Angel 4 Truth go instead to Saudi Arabia or Syria? You would be more comfortable in a country where change and criticism of the status quo of power are not allowed.
PBS ran a story today about how coca cola and pepsi are taking advantage of children in El Salvador and ruining their teeth. Families and children have no defense against the America junk food companies; they make money off of ruining children's lives.
These rapacious companies produce junk. They deserve to be put out of business. American corporations by and large produce nothing of value. The reason people suffer from this junk, is because American corporations produce and market it. You guys who defend them in the name of "freedom" and "free enterprise" are defending criminals. The least our government can do is regulate them... to death, if possible.
No they don't. And, besides, I can choose water; which is what I do as I gave up soda.
What I said was correct; the restaurants offer only big sizes. In other countries they offer even bigger sizes, and nothing else. And tortilla chips cost less than tortillas. Consumers of American "free" enterprise have little or no choice in what to buy. They can choose between different brands of junk.

Yeah, it's weird how the responsibility mongers never apply their responsibility refrain to the giant corporations that produce all this crap.

I have read and seen all about it. American food companies offer junk and little else. All you have to do is shop at the local supermarket to see for yourself. You have to be really really picky. At least some products have labels. But if you read them, you are amazed at how bad the products are. There are very few labels in restaurants, and most of what you get is bad for you. If you want to have good food, you have to spend lots of time and extra gas to get and prepare it. In red states, even those few alternatives are not available at all, and you can't even ride your bike for fear of being run over by a redneck in a hot rod. All you can do is go to church and bow down to the preachers. You guys are really stupid for defending this creepy Republican system. There's no other word for it.

We're gonna stay here and eat and drink whatever we feel like having. How do you like them apples?
It's a direct national interest for the population not to be obese, diabetes ridden tubs of lard. Large sugary sodas definitely contribute to people being obese, diabetes ridden tubs of lard. Therefore, it's a good idea for the government to ban them.
"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.' [2] Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in Hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul, if----and mark well what I say----if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins" (St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Secret of the Rosary, Red Rose).
Maybe you should try Burger King!
