I can't remember who it was I heard say that in the United States today food has more protection against libel than people, in Supersize Me, which I saw on Sunday, there was some hopeful news that while the U.S. Government have made it illegal to sue food companies like the people who tried to sue McDonalds for 'causing' their obesity some schools have started to fight back against the huge amounts of junk food in their school and producing decent food for their pupils, causing a decrease in troublesome behaviour. But in England this week a school ships in McDonalds burgers for it's kids. To claim that eating burgers in school twice in one week won't put children's health at risk seems to be deliberately trying to miss the point, where's the anti-junk food message? Perhaps next week one afternoon the head could take the kids to the cinema and take them in to see SSM?

Meanwhile, McDonalds 'we're not concerned about Supersize Me at all' attitude is hilarious. Only a company truly unconcerned about a film that says they sell crap would produce a website to try and rebut it. Still, considering the stuff that came out at the McLibel trial Ronald is getting off easily this time.
