I've been all over the world. I've noticed in many places (especially fast food joints, because they are so incredibly convenient, especially when travelling), that they actually give you free or virtually free calories. "Extra cheese with that?"; "Double cheese with that?".

You can even get their set "meals" for considerable less than if you just chose the "healthier" options (e.g. just the burger) rather than the soda and the fries (which are either thrown in free or for pennies more). What do you guys think? Is there some "conspiracy" to keep us fat, make us sick and constantly renewing our gym memberships to keep the economy afloat or booming?
