Fast Food

Its funny you started this topic because I am reading Fast Food Nation right now. The thing that got my attention in the book is how companies now use Mcdonalds method of expanding, even non-food places like The Gap. It is Americas way of conquering the globe financially, basically modern day imperialism. Ive always knocked Wal Mart for the effect they have on the economy, how they run small companies out of business, but indirectly Mcdonalds does the same thing. Small potato farmers and ranchers are basically run out of business by the larger companies that Mcdonads buys from.
As far as food goes, I think the way meat packing companys are run is disgusting. I think its bullshit how the government lets them get away with so much. The speed that workers have to process a cow is so fast that they dont have time to do a safe job and its inevitable that the meat will get tainted. I also think the way cows are treated and slaughtered is animal cruelty.
I do occasionally eat fast food even after reading most of the book. It is a convenience factor for me. I live alone so a lot of the time I dont feel like cooking dinner for myself, and eating in restaurants can get expensive. I try to eat at independent places as much as possible. I think consumers need to take more responsibilty in where we spend our money and I do try and make the right decisions, ie. I dont shop at Wal Mart.
I would like to give up eating meat altogether one day. I especially have a problem with eating chicken. I feel that eating chicken is a big waste of a life. Like if you eat 20 hot wings, thats 5 chickens that gave thier life. At least one cow can feed a lot of people so its not as big of a waste of life. We need to respect where our food comes from, these are living creatures that are raised with the sole purpose of giving thier life for us...

MY GIRL BEEN A MEATCLERK FOR A MINUTE FOR A BIG CHAIN SUPERMARKET AND HAS WORKED FOR OTHERS IN THE PAST LIKE RALPHS,AND THAT FRESH MEAT YOU ALL THINK YOUR GETTING AND WHAT IT GROWS THREW IS EQUALLY DISGUSTING BELIEVE ME,EVERYBODY CUTS CORNERS ESPECIALLY FOOD MARKETS..THROWING AWAY OLD MEAT OR CONTAMINATED MEAT,IS MONEY LOST...JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND..
Jack in the Box is fucking gross man....lol....have you ever worked at a fast food place? or had a homey that worked at one? if not, you need to look into it....
you won't wanna eat at those places anymore...
i was at Subway like a month ago, and this stupid broad working dropped the cheese into the tuna fish, then put the cheese back with the other cheese....if it was my sandwich and i saw that, i'da slapped the bitch and called the health department...but it wasn't, and i just won't go back there ever again...

One of my nephews turned 16 last summer and he worked at subways. He told me to never eat at subways again. I remember sometime last year I walked into Togo's to order some food, but the lady in front of me was returning hers. She said the food made her sick (vomit) and she wanted her money back, so I walked smooth out the door.
That's what I hate...I live by myself too, so it's a pain in the ass to make dinner every night, just for myself....and then the dishes...i hate the fucking dishes...lol....
it depends on what you make though, not everything is cheaper to eat out....obviously a value meal might work better than buying some pasta, sauce, and meat, but what tastes better? and pasta will last a few days....
i've lived alone for 2 years now..the year before that i had a roommate...and the year before that i lived alone....i lived in the dorms the year before that...
i'm just glad that i can have my own place and do what i want....there's a jack in the box like 45 seconds away from my place driving...i hardly ever go there though...
Just being in fast food places makes me feel greasy and nasty for some reason...maybe it's because those places are greasy and nasty. I think that's the winning bet.

I agree that fast food is addictive. Maybe it is the steroids and drugs they pump into the cow to make it grow faster? Maybe its the chemicals they use to artificially flavor the food? In the past when ive eaten fast food several days in a row, ive had big cravings for it. Now that I hardly eat fast food I dont have that craving for it...
I've worked in a variety of food places...and they all do some nasty shit to their food.
But...that is gonna happen no matter where you go.
They all hire the people that can't or won't do anything else. They all pay close to nothing...and they all have employees who are fed up with customers.
Same if you buy something from the grocery store. You don't know what was put in there, where it came from, or who was handling it.
Nothing you can do about it. Seems like everything is bad for you or causes cancer anyway.
Just eat whatever the fuck you like.

That's funny you say that, well more ironic than funny...
I was reading some thing awhile back and it basically said that if you eat shitty food versus "healthy" food, it wont' do much to increase your life span...it might make your life a little better towards the end, but that's about it. Same goes for smoking....you can quit, but after you've been smoking for ages, what's the point? it's not gonna bring back new lungs....
By the way, I can tell you who made that ride in your signature....Disney. You know they're sick fucks...

There are people who eat nothing but crap and live to 100. There are people who eat nothing but crap and die at 40.
There are people who smoke who live to 100. There are people who smoke and die at 50 with a big ass hole in their throat.
There are people who eat right, don't smoke, work out...and drop dead at 50.
I really don't know how much "eating right" really helps.
I eat right (most of the time) cause I feel better when I do. When I eat junk food I feel like crap for a couple of days...and I would rather not feel like shit.
