Thanks for sharing that, Badboy.

Personally, I refuse to eat at a McDonalds, or any fast food restaurant. I haven't set foot in one in over five years.

Fock 'em all, I say.

They has been a recent 15-year study which suggests that fast food increases obesity.

I like the way you phrased that sentence, Badboy. Very catchy.

By the way, I am quite surprised I received a response from you. I thought you were one of the newcomers who would post some inane information and then dart off somewhere.

My name is Gustav Ratzenhofer. I would like to be your friend.

I wouldn't eat at a McDonalds/Burger King even at the threat of imminent death from a crazed lunatic sporting a gatling gun, although as a youth I used to love a Wimpy.

Super size me is in the video stores.
A little tid bit from the move:

---According to the FDA , the ' beef' in fast food burgers can contain meat from appprox 1000 diffrent cows. These cows come from all over the country/world. ----

American beef industry is one of the most powerful industries in the world. The FDA has regulations in place to allow thousans of cows to live in small cages no wider then thier shoulders with a large barrell of 'feed' stuffed under thier faces full of corn/wheat and a few other grains that they wouldnt normally eat. They live on top of each other in thier own feces and urine. Because of this they are pumped with antibiotics to keep the infection rate down. These antibiotics destroy the natural occuring bacteria in thier milk, mouths and intestines causing the animals to grow in unnatural ways. The female cows are also pumped with estrogen like hormones to continue producing milk long after thier bodies should stop. The amounts of estrogen these cows get creates alot of 'cancers' in the animals just as it would in a human female. Cows are then hooked up to machines that pump milk from thier udders as a calf would instead it is non stop. The amount of nutrients it takes a cow to produce such high amounts of milk cause depletion in bone density and muscle mass. To counteract this.. again.. they are pumped with drugs.

Diffrent regions have diffrent infections/ diseases etc that each cow/bull needs to be protected from. So, the use of MANY diffrent antibiotics are incorporated.
In one single burger you can consume up to 40 diffrent strands of flu and other bacteria. Along with tons of antibiotics. Since the mass production of meat for the fast food industry ( since about the 70's) there have been thousands of new strings of flu and other bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics.

And that is just simple things I have learned from the internet.
Imagine what really goes on in a cattle farm.

In the movie , they guy who ' stars' does this experimentation with the Mc'Ds fries..
He lets them set for 2 months... they STILL look fresh from the store.
He gets a few other food products wich start to mold, decay etc... as ALL organic matter should do!
Those fries.. NEVER. they dont break down, they dont mold ... nothing. They are a freak of nature. Anything that is real food.. should break down.
That tells me ( and DAUM i love those fries ) ,, that they are not even fried in a REAL edible oil.. beacuse if it were real.. it would break down.
I will never touch them again. that was just F-N WIERD.

And he is right, how many times have you cleaned out your car, and found a fry.............MONTHS LATER............ and it wasnt rotten? it Looked like you just bought the damn thing...?
THAT....... is scary.
