Seriously, this is probably one of the most ridiculous assertions I've heard in some time. To suggest that you are at risk of developing diabetes - and DIE from it - because you'd have to eat in an airport is crazy.
did you read ANY of the article?

how can you say what will and will not affect my health? numerous extremely plausible circumstances exist where i would be forced to eat inside an airport twice in a day - forget the FACT that eating fast food more than twice in a week has a DIRECT link to diabetes - something that many here are arguing is a potentially life-altering and catastrophic disease.

i think it's ridiculous that you don't care about my health. i guess i shouldn't be surprised. this is, after all, america - a "fast food nation." 20.8 million in the U.S. have diabetes. how do you think this happened?

the piano analogy is nonsensical. until someone forces me to walk under a piano every time i fly, it has no bearing on this discussion.
