McDonald's should be Banned

"I see you don't want to take into account the hard reality of this unbelievably unhealthy food."I see you don't want to take into account the hard reality that getting rid of McDonald's would do absolutely nothing for our obesity rates, the economy, or anything else."If McDonald's was banned, obesity rates will decrease drastically."If you got rid of McDonald's, every other fast food joint would simply pick up the slack. People will continue to eat the same garbage no matter where they get it."If you refer to my last argument, you will see why it causes obesity."And if you refer to mine, you'll see how such a thing is preventable."It may be a huge factor that you may not be skinny as you say you are therefore you are becoming angered over a simple mistake..."Are you kidding me? First of all, I'm not "angered over a simple mistake". You were basically trying to pass off that info as your own, and never even referenced that you pulled it from elsewhere. That, and using word-for-word text from someone else's work shows how uncommitted you are to formulating your own ideas. Second, implying my frustration with you doing this has to do with me being fat is basically ad hominem and totally irrelevant."I posted McDonald's is increasing economic distress not just about minimum wages."Yes you did. And I posted that even if we get rid of McDonald's, the power will simply shift to KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Subway, and all of those places. The debt will not go down and it will not cost tax-payers any less."This may be a sensitive topic but we just need to face the ice-cold reality that McDonald's will kill us quicker therefore it should be banned."Eating candy that much is insanely unhealthy, so why don't we use that same logic for candy companies? Because we trust that people are smart enough to make healthy decisions and not fill their face with food that has been shown time and again to not be the best choice. This is not McDonald's fault. If people stopped eating there, they would go out of business like *that*."P.S. 'TBHQ' is a chemical that is placed in most of McDonald's products that contains a sub-chemical called 'Phenol' which causes..."First, you forgot to cite your source. Again. (1)Second, you fail to mention that these horrible phenols can be found in berries, cocoa, fruits and vegetables like potatoes, oranges and lettuce, peppers, clove and thyme. These are all natural products. They can also be used as natural pesticides and are sometimes the key for food preservation and preventing infection (2) So, trying to pass phenol off as this terrible chemical that causes that huge grocery list of side-effects is somewhat misleading. Then again, you just Google these things and copy-paste the first result that looks good, so I don't blame you for missing something.Third, you base most of your argument on the fact that McDonald's uses this unhealthy component for preservation called TBHQ. This would be fine and dandy if you didn't list dozens of other things that have it as well. What, are we going to ban all of these products and companies for using it even though it's FDA approved? That thought it ridiculous.___This idea came to me just this round- what if we do ban McDonald's? Like, tomorrow, it was just gone. This would leave 440,000 people without a job. (3) Our economy is already in terrible conditions, and this would shatter the country. We could not handle such a massive, sudden lost of jobs. The implications are too numerous to mention.___Voters, my opponent wrote a grand total of 1468 words. Of those, only about 350 were original. This was found by copy-pasting all of his points into a Word document and highlighting only those which were original. This results in less than a quarter of my opponent's points being entirely his own, and all references to outside texts being uncited. Even with citations, this shows an utter lack of interest in trying to formulate his own ideas or gaining anything from the text.My opponent literally said that my being overweight was the reason for being frustrated with his regurgitation of cut-and-paste articles. This is ad hominem and irrelevant in every way.My opponent has refuted absolutely none of my points; in fact, there was never even an effort to do so.Voters, I'm going to say vote for whoever made the better argument. But I do ask that you take these points into account.1. http://ajosephproject.com...2. http://en.wikipedia.org...3. http://www.macroaxis.com...
