Just because you post on the same internet forums as people does not mean you know them. You have no idea about the people who post here and what they have and have not experienced and I think it's immensely unfair that you've assumed that no-one can possible understand what you're talking about because no-one has been through what you have - you don't have a clue what we've been through.
Otherwise I agree entirely with Dave, it's about education and choice. I've had/got my fair share of problems - which I'm not prepared to go into here - and it's now up to me how I control them.
If we're using McDonalds as an example, I know that their burgers absolutely kill me, I enjoy them at the time but I know that if I eat one I'll be doubled up in pain because of it. So I have two choices - don't eat it and be fine, or eat it and suffer. It's entirely my choice, and if I choose not to eat one I certainly don't expect everyone else to cut them out too, it's nothing to do with them.
As for ADHD, I taught a lot of children who suffered with it and I'm struggling to find the link between having/getting ADHD and diet. I agree with Caryl entirely that diet does have an impact on people with ADHD, perhaps more so than those that don't suffer with it, and cutting out the E-numbers and caffeine can drastically improve the attitude and behaviour of someone that suffers with it, but I don't for one minute think that "bad" food content can actually give you ADHD in the first place.
