I can put three hundred letters in here? Really? I can dump this much crap at the bottom of each and every post and reply that I do, and there not a stinking thing you can do about it. I can also put in a picture you say? My my, aren’t we generous with the space all of a sudden. This won’t last
Everything increases your risk of cancer it seems. A quick google search (scanned the first page of results) shows that smoking (obviously), pan fried meat, worrying and snoring all increase the risk of cancer.

Ah, that good old picture.
Couple of things to note:
Just because it's not covered in mould doesn't mean it's not off. It will be rancid and would make you very ill if you ate it.
The reason it isn't mouldy is because it's dry. There's no ketchup or mustard on the burger and the fries are well salted. Dry food means no mould. Ever seen prosciutto? It's made the way it is for just this reason.
You could take home made bread and a hand made beef burger and wind up with exactly the same picture.
And don't even get me started on fast food nation. The guy had an underlying liver condition (which he didn't bother to mention) and went from a vegan diet straight to a diet where he got all of his protein from meat. Having seen a flat mate go from a meat-based diet to a vegan diet overnight, radically changing your diet in any way means your body has to adapt to cope and that means temporary side effects.
There was a Swedish study (I think) that attempted to recreate fast food nation under reliable conditions. The students didn't even put on any weight.
There's propaganda on both sides. I don't eat fast food, so I'm hardly on their side, but don't discount the (more insidious IMO) propaganda of the anti fast food brigade.
I've no doubt you're right, i got it off facebook then fogged it off as my own,shame on me!!!!
If it gets folk eatin more healthy then that's what matters though so im all for it.
I watched that experiment on telly where they simulated a house wi lots of different foods,a big glass box it was,i can't remember anything in the house lasting as well as those burgers,the flies were horrendous,it showed the natural order of things.
Back to the thread though i dont know why i don't like kfc as i do have the odd mcdonalds,subway etc but kfc somehow pisses me off,maybe the decor or the stupid uniform or somethin.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

To me Fast Food Nation is much more than just a book about junk food. It may well in fact be a book about the history of Fast Food and today's American food industry, but it's also a book about capitalism and globalisation, and it's the fast food industry that has led the way in modern industrial greed and propaganda.
As far as I am aware Eric Schlosser has never been been a vegetarian never mind a vegan. Never heard of the liver condition either. Fast Food Nation is a meticulously researched and detailed piece of quality investigative journalism. It's also a great read, Eric Schlosser is not only a good journalist but an excellent and entertaining writer, the book is in fact a bit of a 'page turner'. It cannot simply be dismissed as mere propaganda. Anybody who is remotely interested in where their food comes from and practises of the global food industry should read it. And I'll bet if you never given it much thought before, well you might just give it a little bit more thought after you've read Eric's excellent book.
Quote:I'm not a vegetarian but, having been in these plants and feedlots and processing facilities, I'm very angry about how the big agribusiness companies are producing our meat. I've thought about [being vegetarian] and I think there are very strong arguments for it, not just on the more selfish health-oriented grounds, but really on ethical, moral grounds. I have friends who are ranchers. I don't know. There are glutamate receptors in our taste buds, which are clearly linked to the consumption of meat. For me, the important thing is some kind of connection to what you are doing, some kind of respect, and somehow affording a sense of dignity to these creatures that we have co-existed with for thousands of years. Our current system doesn't do this. People have so little idea of how cattle and hogs and poultry are being raised and slaughtered. For me it was really important to let them know. You can read the book and become vegetarian, or keep eating meat, but you really should know where your food is coming from, and we don't. We're such a suburban urbanized nation that's completely cut off from any sense of this. Eric Schlosser
Ah, bear in mind I mixed up fast good nation (quite an interesting book) with Super Size Me (load of tosh). Apologies for that.
Things are never as simple as we think. Also bear in mind that a lot of the bad stuff we hear is from the USA where laws about animal husbandry are much more lax than the UK and Europe.
