While a third wrote, You were trying to buy a bottle of water in McDonald’s while guilt tripping people who are ordering McDonald’s food at McDonald’s? Why this Kolaveri D? Although I truly believe in healthy living, still this attitude of nutritionists towards guilt tripping people needs to end."
"You were waiting for a bottle of water in a queue at McDonald’s and you’re surprised that people are ordering McDonald’s food at McDonald’s? Just trying to understand," commented a fourth.
