Oh please....people do have a brain and can make their own choices.
"The limitations are clearest at the fast food outlet, where the spectrum of choice runs from McMuffin to McNugget. "
There are plenty of other choices besides Maccas, people just like it.
"These are reasons why we won’t find Calville Blanc, Black Oxford, Zaberga Reinette, Kandil Sinap or the ancient and venerable Rambo on the shelves."
They don't sell perhaps? You mean people don't actually choose them?
"the menu is crafted not by our choices"
Sure it isn't...
"how our lives force us to consume so much of the wrong kind of food"
I think people need to take responsibility for their choices, nobody is forcing them to stuff themselves with Big Macs.
You could always grow your own. What a load of gumph!
