Fast Food is a joke and will continue to make Americans fat and diseased. Did you know "Chicken" McNuggets are sprayed with Lighter Fluid? ****ing Disgusting.
You may see that as hypocrisy at first glance, but I assure you In-N-Out Burger is anything but conventional "Fast Food" my friend. I'm not talking about taste buds, I'm talking about how they treat their employees and their customers. When I say "treating their customers" I mean they actually are committed to fresh ingredients, and not Factory Farm Filth Meat and vegetables that are genetically engineered by slave labor in Florida and completely devoid of nutrients. When I say "treating their employees" I mean they actually offer things like competitive wages, health benefits, and the opportunity for growth (higher level managers can easily make 80k a year). With a signature taste consistently rated as Top 3 in the Nation by Zagat, They could have been one of the corporate giants like the other burger joints that opened up shop in the same part of California around the same time (Carls Jr and McDonalds), but they have chose to keep their operation family-owned and centralized. That is why uber-Green ultra-liberal Mayor of San Fran Gavin Newsom allowed them to be the only burger joint allowed to open on Fisherman's Wharf (Please Note: This is old info as now the Wharf has other Fast Food Joints, the fact was correct at the time, but is now irrelevant) So forgive me if I don't consider In-N-out to be on the same level as McFacist and Taco Hell.
You're right....McD's and Taco Bell taste better (and I don't like Bic Macs). And I may be wrong...but I could have sworn seeing a Hooters and McDonalds at the Wharf when we went to San Francisco...which was about a month ago. Pretty positive because I thought it Kind of detracted from the local flavor and hot spots.
uh, I didn't think my joke would elicit a thought-out response...(but it is funny that you did it again ) I realize the difference in In-N-Out Burger's ingredients (hence the staying in a specific area and never expanding beyond it)...however, re: fast food...you posted about health...the bottom line is that a burger and fries is a burger and fries and still leads to health issues, just like McDonalds would, no? A cheeseburger, fries and a coke at In-N-Out still gives you 1100 calories, 45 grams of fat (70% of receommended daily intake) and 15 grams of Saturated fats (76% of recomended daily intake) Yeah, they use fresher ingredients and treat their employees well, but your statement was about how fast food is making Americans fat and diseased...well eating the HOLY In-N-Out will still make you fat and diseased
Great, good for you. Personal Taste is not my issue at all, I'm done with that argument. You can eat whatever you want, I really don't care. I clearly stated my issue is not a matter of taste, but of ethics. If you say the dog**** sandwich you had when you were 3 is better than an In-N-Out burger I don't debate that at all, personal taste is subjective and completely irrelevant to what I'm discussing. As for the Wharf claim, my info on that is admittedly taken from a book that was published a few years back, so apologies for that... but at the time it was a fact that Mayor Newsom endorsed In-N-out.
I completely agree with your general sentiments here. Again, I wouldn't recommend anyone eat In-N-Out food on a regular basis, I don't have one within 1000 miles of me here in Houston, but if I did... it would still be only on occasion that I would chose to eat such fatty, high calorie food. The problem is the difference isn't just in the taste of the food at some places, its how that food got to you. Most people would be sick to their stomachs if they actually saw a McDonalds Hamburger go from the Cow to the Plate. I like Hamburgers, don't get me wrong. I still eat meat. I just can't in good faith imagine eating beef that is from a cow that was forced to wade in 2 feet of its own filth in a factory farm for 14 months while eating genetically modified corn (cows evolved to eat grass, not corn) that creates excesses of acid in their ruminants that makes them sick and is the main reason we've had so many E-Coli outbreaks over the past few decades. Not to mention the Bovine Growth Hormones and the countless antibiotics pumped into its diet to keep it from getting sick from all the corn its being forced to eat. Me personally, I can't stand the Fast Food industry, I think it is destroying our health. The way we eat now is shockingly bad for us. I would never tell you how to eat, thats a personal matter... but for me I just can't look the other way with the knowledge I have about the FF industry.
That is why I eat mainly organic food and have been for the past month and a half. Yeah, Butane... Thank God it isn't actual lighter fluid. Butane is SOOOO MUCH BETTER! **** yeah, I'll eat butane no problem. Its not like if you were to ingest 5 grams of TBHQ you'd drop dead or anything. Oh wait, you would. Your Corporate Spin is hilarious. You are the absolute most backward poster on this entire board and I honestly think you should be locked in a cage and paraded around circus freakshows for how outlandish your belief system is.
