We have a few Jamba Juice in Tracy and even though people say they want Jamba Juice over McDonalds, a quick look at the number of people in line tells all what people want.

However, one thing bothers me about this type of thinking. I.e. I would prefer this type of fast food over that type of fast food.

It's like arguing about our favorite football team and saying my team has more superbowl rings than yours, so there.

I find it interesting when someone voices an opinion but while in the course of doing so unwittingly shoots it down with their own words.

Olivia complains about McDonalds yet states: "Choosing healthy foods continues to be challenging for people in general, especially young people."

Let's focus on the word "choosing". Last time I checked we control the choice of what we eat, not McDonalds. Other than my parents forcing me to eat my vegetables when I was a kid I can't recall a time when anyone forced me to eat anything I did not choose to. I can't recall ever reading a story about someone holding a gun to someones head and forcing them to down a Big Mac.

Olivia goes on to state: "we are eating ourselves into a diabetes epidemic."

I completely agree with this comment, however, where does McDonalds become a part of "we" or "ourselves"?

Personal responsibility has nothing to do with McDonalds, "we" do not have to go there to eat, "we" can "choose" to eat healthier if "we" put out a better effort to be more disciplined in our food choices.

Here's a little reality, close every fast food joint and it will do little to solve the obesity problem.

Jamba Juice is NOT healthy for pre and diabetics. Sugar(s) are the number one cause of obesity. Jamba Juice is NOT the answer.
