so for those of you who havent read the book yet. its basically about how the meet and fries are made for fast food places.

so i found out through the book that the meat plants are actually madd nasty. and the people there dont even know wth they're doing. so the burgers we eat from all these fast food places contain cow maneur. human limbs (arms. fingers. hands. etc) and a whole bunch of diseases. also i learned that red meat can cause breast cancer O. i also found out that ammount of calories in a mcdonald's fry is almost as much as a burger. and their chicken mgnuggets are more like beef then they are chicken. blegh there's so much more gross stuff. but yeahh.

so what do you guys think about this fact? that there are sooo many gross and unhealthy things in the fast food but yet no one does anything about it and we still eat it anyway?

just thought id ask.

[innocia]

yeap, my parents told me that too
thats why i hardly eat fast food.

guess people like fast food 'cos its addicting and its deep fry so it tastes nice

[dianahah]

i've heard about this book.
it amazes me how so many people are addicted to fast food and cant go on with out it -__-

I am never going to order fries instead of a burger again x_x i didnt know it was just as bad...

[x0hachikou]

yeahh its really ickyyy. and then my teacher was talking about how. u know that if u cook food good and thoroughly its suppose to kill all the germs right? but since fast food places are mostly run by immigrants and teens and since its "fast" food. then they dont really cook the meat good. so it makes the chances for ecoli even bigger. not to meantion the fact that we'd still be eating cow maneur. D:

[chlorine]

ewww theres poop in there? o_O and WTH human hands and arms in there? Aren't their owners missing it?

[Xoalilsinger]

OMB!!! cow muner.... human limbs.... DISEASES!! im never buying hamburgers,chicken nuggets and french fries again. yucky!!

[eternaldarkness4]

lol
that stuff seems abit exagerated no offence..
well i come from australia....
dunno bout usa fast food
and i think i would know if the chicken was more meat....
when i look in the mc chicken nuggets i see chicken
and anyway...if they say its something which it really isnt...you can sue them...
so do you really think mc donalds would claim there meat is 100% beef meat while we're actually eating manure ?
we could pretty much sue them for milliions and give them such a bad reputation
noone would eat there anymore...
no offense but i dont see anyone risking that much

red meat gives you breast cancer?.....no offense but if that was true i think more people would know about it

we eat unhealthy stuff cause it tastes good. its greasy. and is cheap

[azn_angel]

^ i kinda agree with eternaldarkness4 here .
coz here in australia they have very strict laws on hygiene and stuff in fast food chains and restaurants .
but that could be different in the u.s . soo yeah ...
and mcdonald's isn't that bad , its only bad when u consume to much of it.
there was actually something on the news here where an elderly couple in their late 80's have been eating mcdonald's for 20 years
once a day and they'r perfectly healthy , they're not obese and they don't have any heart diseases ...

and i also doubt that red meat can cause cancer , if it did everyone who eats meat would have cancer by now .

[x0hachikou]

lol there's an actual article about it. if u'd like ill post up the article here on soompi about the red meat and breast cancer. and yes this is all true. cow maneur is in fast food because since the meat packing plants hire immigrants mostly they dont know how to do things correctly. and so when the people who pull out the intestines pulls at something wrong. the poop spills out and goes all over the meat. and they never stop the assembly line for anything. and there are actual pictures of people missing limbs from working at those meat packing plants. and im not so sure if its all over. but i know the mcdonald's chicken mgnuggets thing is. oh&&the deal with that is. it is chicken. but they put so much beef extract in there that if u look at its characteristics. its characteristics are more that of beef then chicken. and even if the fast food places are clean or w/e the food is a different thing since the fast food only cooks the meat since its all frozen foods. its all true. why would someone make a false book and movie about all this? lol

[WHATSHERFACE]

That is sooooo disturbing o_O

[annabeelee]

i read it.. i dont eat fast food minus chik-fil-a and subwayyy but if i must...like absolutely (like on a ride for sports and such) i get the kids-menu.. they tend to be less nasty... and i cut the meat in half bc the meat is just so thick...

theres a fast food nation movie... wanted to watch it but its R meh ill get it at blockbusters later

Haha right. Whether or not they're "immigrants" or "teens", the food won't get cooked thoroughly.
Doesn't matter who's doing the cooking.

[globosapien]

I read it a few years ago but that didn't stop me from eating fast food.
I guess the effects wore off after I put the book down.
When it comes to food, I have no self-control.

[msLyn]

o_O

Dude, basically everything we eat is 'contaminated.' Sure people know a lot of facts and all, but they doesn't stop a person from eating.

We eat to live.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which watches over food safety in the U.S., allows a certain amount of insects in food. Every 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of chocolate can have as much as 60 insect pieces in it!

Also, average human consumption of bugs is ~ 1 pound a year.


Amazing.

[Embla]

Haven't read that book yet but.. human parts?! Reminds me of that pig farmer story

[dazzleanddestroy]

uh, this is why i don't eat meat.



and i don't think they're talking about human parts..
cow parts, like the hands and stuff are grinned together, also full with other diseases.. >_<

if anything, eat organic meat.


the FDA are stupid.
i don't want to get into details.

[AmphotericMB]

You know, it really is weird huh? Its the same thing with cigarettes. People know its bad, yet they still do it. Plus no one is trying to shut down the companies. Really it all leads to one conclusion: These are big businesses making lots of money, billions of dollars sometimes. You really can't just shut down something like that.

[Awkward Smile]

the fda actually approves of a minimum amount of animal excretion in our meat..
because expecting there to be none at all is almost impossible

[LittleLadyy]

ew... man I ate so much fast food this for lunch too T__T

[x0hachikou]

lol no its actual human parts lol. human arms and stuff. really gross. lol
