"Without illegals, Big Macs would cost double." - Bernie Ward's sub
Shame on this woman. ... And she describes herself as a liberal on the KGO webpage.

Never let facts get in the way of a good argument.

1. Maybe if they were double in price
we wouldn't be so fat and
double the size of the rest of the world
or be super-sized Americans in our conspicuous habits.

You wouldn't eat as much beef a day,
( you would value the death of the animal that gave you substance)
and have the heart failure record in the world
and maybe find our true heart.

I eat mammals seldom
but value their life when I do
but never ten times a day.

2. I don't eat fast food, let them all close down then
Maybe they'll wake up and give American teenagers back jobs at minimum wage. All I hear from the kids at high school is none of them can get jobs at Wendy's, Bugger King, Micky D's because the people they hire don't speak English, and the people at the drive through are barely coherent. In NJ, you can work fast food at 15, but none of the kids can get these jobs anymore and have to wait till they are 17 to compete for apparel jobs and restaurant jobs. Don't believe the Micky D's commercials for a second.

3. That is totally untrue
You would have to increase the wages to something like $20.00 an hour for such an increase at retail. Where do these people come from?

4. Double price would be good
if they were doubly nutritious and half as toxic.
