The Madness of Burgers and Obesity

Having just finished season two of Mad Men (missed it from the start and
figured I’d record the whole series on AMC just prior to the finale a few
weeks ago), it’s impossible to miss the delicious juxtaposition of the most
recent obesity
data from Gallup and the latest
offering from one of America’s fast food chains that will no doubt be a
big hit in Mississippi.
Though that generation clearly smoked too much and consumed way too much
alcohol, obesity is virtually non-existent (at least on Madison Avenue). I’m
guessing that 1960s era Mad Men would be a little shocked at a lot of things
in the U.S. 50 years later, things like obesity and burgers probably being
near the top of that list.
