Proving once again that some folks really donÂ’t believe in freedom, the food fascists are at it again, attacking fast-food restaurants and urging government regulations and legal bans on certain restaurants and entrees.

It starts with criticism of the food choices offered based upon the preferences of diners.

Chain restaurants in the United States are promoting dangerous "X-treme Eating", a US watchdog has said.

They are serving up "ever-more harmful new creations," says the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

It says that some individual dishes can exceed 2,000 calories, more than the recommended daily intake for women.

As more than one in five US adults are obese, it says restaurants should list nutritional information on their menus to make consumers more aware.

The next step, as we have seen in the past from CSPI, is to call for regulation and legislation to take away choices from people.

One such food fascist is calling for bans on one chain restaurant.

The Prince of Wales told a nutritionist in Abu Dhabi Tuesday that the “key” to people eating healthily was to ban McDonald’s fast food restaurants.
Prince Charles was attending the launch of a public health awareness campaign aimed at fighting diabetes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He visited the Imperial College London Diabetes Centre and watched as a group of children chose from a selection of “good” and “bad” snacks for their school packed lunches.

Talking to Nadine Tayara, a nutritionist from the centre who had put the children through their paces, he asked her: “Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s? Have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key.”

Well, that is enough to keep me saying “God save the Queen” until her moron son has passed into the next world. Charles, surrounded by wealth, luxury and privilege, so he thinks it is his place to dictate to everyone else what and where they eat. Even though I agree with him on the relative merits of a fast-food diet, I simply reject the notion that it is the place of government to choose for us what and where we can eat.

But if Prince Up-Chuck is going to get involved in our diets, consider this comparison.

One is marketed by McDonalds. One is marketed by Prince Charles.

Which one is worse for you – but which one does he want banned?
