Zeev - 10 times as many?
Hmmm. Where did you come up with that figure? Last I heard (and also used in the recent documentary "Super Size Me"), obesity and diet were the second leading cause of preventable death behind smoking, not 10x more than smoking.
It is funny how people are quick to rail on "fast food", but say not a peep about the purveyors of high fructose corn syrup, which is the single biggest ingredient in jacking up saturated fats. I guess it wouldn't be so good to pick on something that leads back to middle America's corn fields.
Seriously, if you have a reference for how many people fast food kills, I would be very interested in checking it out.
TIA.
p.s. if you haven't seen Super Size Me, it's a well-done film.
