McDonald's fuel-up combo 'helping people get fat'

Tomorrow is Friday. It will be takeaways and because McDs have 10c vouchers. I will go there and so will my kids and we will individually purchase a combo for best max benefit.I'm not cooking or doing the dishes and everyone is happy.

why doesnt nobody blame the supermarkets for making us spend more to recieve the higher dicount price of 10c a litre.. obviously supermarkets are milking us for every cent, were as mc deez only requires u to purchace a combo.. perhaps its time the supermaket put up there dicount price to make spending the money at there shop all worth while..

Leave McDonalds alone!!!! how come the media always attack McDonalds and not wendys or burger king, just because McDonalds has done well and is more popular dosnt derseve the slamming! Mcdonalds dosnt force the food down us, its peoples choice to eat it and i think its pathetic and discusting that people attack mcDonalds. they must have a boring life to need to do this to keep them entertained! im sick of it!!

I noticed in the supermarket today they had a sale on some brands of beer - why no uproar about this - is it not promoting alcoholism; buy more to save more? I'm sick of the majority being governed to allow for the inadequacies of the minority. Let the consumers decide what's best for them.

So political correctness is just the latest weight loss fad, it all makes sense now.

What ever happened to self responsibility, why is it always someone else?'s fault? Now it's the fast food companies that are at fault because of the amount of fat people out there, not the fatties that eat more than they exercise off. Or the tobacco companies at fault, when some idiot who has smoked two packs a day for the past 30 years, develops lung cancer. Or the alcohol companies fault when some teenage girl goes on a binge drinking session and ends up in hospital with alcohol poisoning.

You can hardly blame people for this kind of thinking, we have a government who never takes responsibility for any actions they take, of course this thinking rubs off on the general population, why take responsibility when it's easier to blame someone else. We even have a government organization that specialises in blaming others for your own mistakes and stupidity (OSH).

To all those posters who pointed out that people need to take personal responsibility for what they buy - spot on. Methinks that we will soon need an "action group to protect consumers from action groups" because we clearly can't be trusted to make responsible decisions ourselves.

It's about time someone decided to market high fat foods with environmental pollution ;)

At least now we can get fat AND destroy the planet!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! lol

TAKE THAT POLITICALLY CORRECT DO-GOODERS!

McDonald's made me fat, Marlboro made me start smoking and Jim Beam made me an alcoholic... Why can't people take responsibility for their actions?

this is choice ;-) spend x $100's of dollars to get a 10 cent voucher from the supermarket or spend $9.50 to get a 10 cent voucher - I hate Big Macs but will buy one to get the voucher and chuck it - and then fill the car up - and use the one from the supermarket for the second fill - "choice"
