Double Be(u)rgers, Double Standards

So New York City is considering banning trans-fatty foods in all restaurants. Boy am I glad we have a government that’s looking out for the welfare of her citizens.
There are rumors that Al-Quaidas next attack will be with french fries.
Forget uranium shmuranium a few chocolate donuts donuts and boom they’ll be falling like flies.
And it's true..they've uncovered top secret-custard enrichment facilities in Afghanistan..

Then I thought of something else.. Our society lately is very into extolling the virtues of living and dying dangerously. How many have shed tears at an Imax film heralding the heroes that get swept away by avalanches while climbing cliffs at 25,000 feet, accompanied by the type of music once reserved for the likes of Alexander the Great and Napolean?

Don’t you see the double standard?

Person A.
Goes climbing a Himalayan Mountain for 3 days with no oxygen and falls off the face of a cliff. Dying doing what he loves most...no matter the danger.
He’s a hero...
Person B.
Loves fatty foods like french fries, donuts and p’cha..dies of a heart attack and clogged arteries.
Died because of what he loves most.
He’s a bum...

Person A.
Wrestles crocodiles and kisses poisonous snakes...dies while swimming with dangerous creatures...
He’s a hero...
Person B.
Smokes a pack a day...dies of lung cancer...
The biggest lowlife on earth..

Person A.
Tests the limits of human endurance by being underwater for hours and days...by being suspended upside down..for days..
Cheered on by crowds..
Person B.
Tests the limits of human size and dimensionality by feasting on hot dogs and junk while glued to his couch for days...
Derided and laughed at..

Hmm just some food for though (healthy food..of course)


(try to keep the comments light..this was all in jest..)
