The above list provides a who's who of unhealthy, processed food, and while I am usually hesitant whenever the "authorities" start to limit food, I'm not the least hesitant in this case. Given the low cost to produce, offering a two-for-one is simply a way to get people, particularly those with limited budgets, dependent on this stuff. Quick, cheap, easy, and poisonous is really the bottom line here.
