McD, Pizza Hut, KFC, Coca-Cola must give a warning in their package. In this case, I do not see equal treatment. This is strange to me if a smoking cigarette is prohibited but eating unhealthy food is not. In my opinion, it is definitely unfair. You kill the cigarette but on the other side, you let junk foods thrive. If you are afraid of smoke addiction, You have to know that cigarettes and jun...
