The thing is, eating a burger once in a while isn't exactly a "bad thing",
but constantly eating nothing else, and not engaging in an exercise or
activity routine to burn off the excess carbohydrate and calories intake can
hardly be said to be McDonalds fault, can it?

If I eat way too many fruits and vegetables, can I sue the farmers because I
spend way too much time on the shitter?
