Omg whats wrong with those people? I haven't watched 10 minutes and how can there be so much stupidity? "It's either good food or the medicine"... Congratulations, you can get your blood sugar level down by doing sport (doesn't cost a cent) and eating healthy stuff! And eating fast food is WAY pricier than the good stuff.

Under a Donald Trump presidency, there will be "far less regulation" so that "business can make huge profits." Trump cares nothing about the reality... that business CANNOT REGULATE ITSELF without doing unscrupulous and criminal practices. NOBODY should die from a food product EVER, due to contamination. Proper protocol and regulation ensures that food products are safe. But Trump won't have any of that... can't stand in the way of profit.

So at the start what they were saying was we are making everyone fat.

Skip a meal now and then and buy something healthy instead of slowly killing yourself and your kids. Doctor bills are more expensive than healthy food.
