That’s right. My sexy profile has everything to do with the fact that when I was a young, broke, on-air announcer at a huge 1,000 watt AM radio station in Independence, Iowa, (in 1979) I purchased a little too much cheap adult food at the local McDonald’s that turned out to be eerily similar to a Happy Meal.

According to The Center for Science in the Public Interest, that’s why I’m a tad overweight.

I am absolutely positive is has nothing to do with the fact that I’m not exercising enough, and that I eat too much at one sitting, occasionally.

Choices

I’m a free choice kind of guy; I live in America. The land of the free. I’m free to eat like an idiot if I choose to do so.

But, according to this non-profit group, it has nothing to do with my own choices, or even my parent’s choices when I was little. They took me to McDonald’s. A lot? Maybe. It was kind of a cool thing, back then.

Am I off base, here? Here’s the McDonald’s predatory marketing lawsuit story.
