Will the fast food industry be the new healthcare cost scapegoat?

I saw a commercial advertising an egg white muffin sandwich from Subway. They are always pushing their sandwiches as a healthy alternative to their competitors, but when you look at what is not on the sandwich, you realize that it isn't an apples to apples comparison. An egg white muffin would be healthier if it didn't have the cheese and ham on it. You are better off using a whole egg and dropping the ham. McDonald's Egg McMuffin has more fat and sodium using a whole egg but has 1/3 less total calories. The point of all this is that, while the fast food industry acts like it is concerned with our health and the apparent national epidemic of obesity, it continues to pull the old "bait and switch" on its products. I have seen the occasional triple burger with a pound of cheese wrapped in doughnuts and deep-fried but that is usually an oddity. The mainstream industry is pushing larger and more ridiculously unhealthy food on us. Look at KFC. They just introduced a chicken sandwich consisting of 2 fried chicken breasts with cheese and bacon between them and no bun. How friggin' healthy is that? Hardee's has a 2/3 pound Thickburger that has 1320 calories, of which 860 calories are fat calories. This thing has 75% of the daily requirement for sodium! By itself!
Thirty years ago, it was the tobacco industry that was doing the same thing. Everyone was smarter, sexier, and more successful with a cigarette hanging from their mouth. Of course, anyone with common sense already knew that it was bad for you but, hey, it's an addiction. The tobacco industry became the scapegoat for nearly every ailment people had so the government hung them out to dry. They have been blamed for anything tobacco related, including house fires from smokers passing out drunk! There is another thing; alcohol. I'll bet, between fast food and alcohol, they contribute to more death and long-term health problems than tobacco. Especially if you attach the same tenuous threads of cause and effect used for tobacco. Is the government going to hold their feet to the fire? Nope. Way too many politicians in their pockets!
What can we do about all this? Quit letting Big Business feed us bullshit and use some common sense! There is certainly enough information available for us to make good decisions even if we lack common sense.
