It seems we are not smart enough to make the right choices or to do the right thing. That's why rides in theme parks have age limits on them, it's why gun licenses have age limits as do fireworks, as do obtaining a license to drive a car, a motorbike and so on.
All these things have an impact on 'taxpayers' and obesity has one of the highest of them all...
Why can we not make the above choices ourselves but we are left making the choice of what is best at McDs.
Upsize is there as it's the culture nowadays that 'BIGGER is BETTER' and this is what is aired, this is what is taught...
So when people all eat a meal that contains 3000 calories in a single sitting it goes beyond me.
Was it right that the person who ordered a cup of coffee from mcdonalds and then spilled it on themselves made his own choice / mistake to spill it? YES - did McDs get sued for it? YES!!!
Choices are not always real choices for a majority of people
