Because its easier than admitting they cant stop pushing food into their mouths.
Why should manufacturers and restaurants suffer for the personal choices made by fat, greedy pigs??
Like an Alcoholic its easier to put the blame on anybody else than accept personal responsibility for their actions.

True, but modern careers and city/suburban layouts make it difficult for most people to have a healthy lifestyle anymore. Nowadays, most of us have to commute 20-40 miles a day which doesn't make bicycling too feasible and a lot of shopping centers and super-stores being built in the suburbs don't even have pedestrian or local-road access, so it's no wonder we're so dependent on our cars. The public transportation system in most of the U.S. pretty much sucks, otherwise you could at least get some exercise walking your flabby @ss down to the bus stop. You can't even safely bicycle to work in a lot of places because of all the traffic. Most of the decent jobs now involve sitting behind a desk or a counter all day, so you can't even get any physical activity at work. And who really has the time these days to join a gym or cook? So yeah, society as a whole is the problem, although I wouldn't blame places like McDonalds just because they make tasty food.

Restaurant chains should not be held liable. Life is about making choices. However, our society has become much more fast paced. Since many of us are under much more pressure, we tend to want our food fast and frequently make a trip to McDonald's or other establishments.

No they should not be held accountable. People are given the choice to eat or not to eat. I am constantly perplexed at the number of people who will eat at a mid-priced restaurant and have the whole gang with them. Are these those same families that cry that it takes two salaries to survive while their children run wild with no direction? I think so.

Unfortunately accountability is not a priority in today's society.
There is nobody holding a gun to my head making me eat a big mac when i can just as easily have a salad.
There is nobody forcing me to drive to work, when I can walk.
People just do not like to be held responsible for the negatives in their life. By not taking accountability, the negative behavior is in some ways justified.

They don't want to be held accountable for stuffing all the food in their face. No one should be held responsible but the one packing the food away.

cause its easier to blame others for your problems and not take responsibilty. most people want to take the easy way out instead of working hard.
to sum it up, it's called : LAZINESS
