Are value meals the real cause of the obesity epidemic in America?

Think about it, these value meals are promoted to customers first and foremost. Most people order them instead of ordering their hamburgers or nuggets because you’re basically getting the fries for free, or the drink, depending on how you look at it.

That’s millions of Americans unwittingly eating fries that they didn’t want in the first place. These are salty, fatty and generally not good to be eaten all the time. However, it comes with the value meal, so it’s eaten, regardless.

I didn’t really start gaining weight until I started eating fries a lot. There’s a correlation. I ate it in the car after school was over in junior high, and my cafeteria offered it everyday in my Catholic high school. I noticed in the public schools I subbed in that fries weren’t offered with the hamburgers.

If the ordering at most of these places promoted a la carte ordering, I believe the obesity epidemic would be stemmed because most people would probably save on ordering the fries and drink and just get the sandwich or nuggets. Instead of suggesting to people that they order fries and a drink to complete the meal, how about ordering another hamburger of a small size and getting a water, if you so please?

Has anybody had a virus that lasted a over a month?

I have been sick for a month now. After two different types of antibiotic I am sure its a virus. I cough up a lot of clear phlegm in the morning. I am starting to get scared because it is affecting my asthma and I have never been sick for this long before. What do I have? Do people have viruses that last this long? I have taken Prednisone but it only made it seem worse. What should I do?
