Anonymous Coward User ID: 10843255 United States 07/26/2012 09:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | American food culture sucks. Its as if we are saying to the world that all we are is fried chicken, hamburgers, and fries. The food should tell you about a country. And what does our food say about us? We are cheap, greedy- using the worst ingredients, money hungry don't care about anyone else (the health of the customers) all in the name of that oh mighty dollar that some worship as their god. I saw a Wendy's commercial that promoted "buying a recliner" then strapping it on top of a car and driving to Wendy's, order their double stack and kick back in the chair. What the fuck? |

We all think we can do it better or it won't work that way for us. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13158115 Corporatism...not boogie man 'communism'. You have much to learn, and you will, slave. Call it what you like. |

Earth Daughter User ID: 20194236 United States 07/29/2012 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This sounds gross, but people consuming lots of fast food have developed an addiction to the taste of fat and grease. I read something once, I'll try to find the article, that stated how when greasy food is consumed, the texture, the way it coats the mouth, and the taste, creates a feeling of satisfaction. So people get addicted to this feeling satisfaction (greasy mouth syndrome). This further pulls them away from consuming non-greasy things - like vegetables, because they don't get that same satisfaction fulfilled and therefore think they are still hungry. Anyway, bad idea to spread this addiction to other places. Humans had the tendancy toward addictive behavior. First it was for sugar, and now the grease.

When you're used to eating healthy fats/oils that nasty grease taste is the first thing you notice. |

Like, really feeling the need to puke because my body wants to evacuate that shit instead of "digesting" it. Then i poop doom. |

What the fuck? Also willing to risk bad health to buy more stuff, rather than eat good and exercise and not buy trivial things. That wendy's commercial is a powerful message, unfortunately social engineering is fact. |
