just my $0.02 here:

Big Corp. *IS* bad.  But you're absolutely right; as bad as any given Big
Corp. is, it still isn't responsible for an individual's stupidity in
regards to Big Corp.  Most people don't have the common sense your RTP
friend did; they eat McD's five times a week and sit on their asses all
day.  Exercise is the overriding factor in that equation; you can pretty
much eat whatever the hell you want as long as you get good exercise.

I still say Big Corp is bad, very bad; but it's not responsible for the
cartoonish Darwinian failures of individuals.
