Spaced Frehley: Why are we more concerned about what BP oil spill does to the environment than what fastfood does to people?
Fast food causes diabetes, over-weight problems and numerous health problems to people, yet few people seem to care. Spill oil in a lake or ocean and everyone is worried about the effects on wild-life. Shouldn’t we care about our own health and well being a little more. Look at people as you walk down a crowded street. You will see more spare tires on people than you will find in a cars trunk. sad.

Answer by Robb
Because The BP Oil Spill effects more than just people, it effects animals, and the entirety of the world, not just the gulf coast. If a vital animal goes extinct, so does the human race. Just the extinction of bees would kill the human race.

Good point, but are you ready for the answer?

the oil spill is being used for political gain…your telling me that these people can tap into the earth to drill oil out but they cant stop it leaking from their own machine? Until all the animals start rolling up on the shores nothing is going to happen to the “spill”. and then the obama administration will use this to take over the oil companies as they did GM and several banks. Thats why, oh and fastfood is a choice that people make, like smoking and drinking. They “spill” is uncontrollable?
