People who eat sushi appear ill-inclined to pay heed to the health risks. But when others show equal disregard for the health risks of fast food, it is seen as a major issue of public concern. It really shouldn't be this way around. Someone who removed sushi from their diet could with trivial effort replace it with countless other foods. But many of the people who eat at fast food restaurants would, if they stopped, simply not be able to afford to eat out anywhere else. The old ironic line that everyone is free to dine at the Ritz really does seem to apply here.
Could the blogger Half Sigma be right in suggesting that "[t]he anti-McDonald’s crusade is mostly about rich people feeling smug about their superior upper-class tastes in food"?
