 Outside the Beltway 

Steve Webb, Member of Parliament, Bad Parent

This follows from his statements to the BBC.

Liberal Democrat health spokesman Steve Webb is starting a petition in Parliament saying there is no need for the 40% bigger burger.

[snip]

“Adults can make their own minds up - I eat burgers from time to time so I’m not saying they are evil.

“But McDonalds are targeting kids and sport as a great way to get through to kids.”

Funny, I seem to have little problem making sure my son eats healthy. Maybe the Brits need a CCTV system inside every burger joint to monitor people’s intake of the fat laden tasty meat patties on a bun.

About the Author: Steve has a B.A. in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and attended graduate school at The George Washington University, leaving school shortly before staring work on his dissertation when his first child was born. He works in the energy industry and prior to that worked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Division of Price Index and Number Research.
