I can see the headline now, doll:
CLOGGED ARTERIES IN TEXAS
Christy, a native of Texas, was admitted last night to the local hospital due to numerous clogged arteries. Early forensic testing indicates that large deposits of saturated fat were clogging the arteries in her chest, therefore limiting the flow of blood to her heart. Ambulance paramedics found her unconscious in her living room, surrounded by memorablilia of classic rock band "Fleetwood Mac" and trash from numerous local fast food restaurants. Among those pieces of trash found were empty bags from McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, and the always heart-clogging favorite, Long John Silvers.
"This is the reality of eating such dangerous foods," said her doctor, Harry Sacks, a heart specialist. "These young folks today think that eating this garbage is okay, but it isn't. Christy is a prime example of this pattern of eating."
Christy regained consciousness at approximately eight o'clock this morning, complaining of being famished. Reportedly, she asked for a super-size quarter pounder meal from McDonalds and six large Frosties from Wendy's.
Family members filed a class action lawsuit this afternoon, charging the fast food chains with "reckless endangerment" and "foul business practices." Not one store manager would comment on the charges.
"I refused to give into her food request and instead ordered that she be put on a strict oatmeal-and-water diet," her doctor said. "I'll allow her the occasional bran muffin, but that's it for indulgences."
Christy's comment on her new diet: "Bran muffins? I might as well eat a rope and pull it through."

I really don't like fast food too much. I haven't eaten at McDonald's since i've been a kid...I think it's gross. Burger King is gross. I like Wendy's and I think Chick-Fil-A is decent (I like their salad w/the chicken). I'm a big fan of Salad Works...I don't know if they have them in every state...I guess you could consider it fast food...freakin' $8 per salad fast food. Sheebus...lol
I"ve got one word for everyone: CHIPOTLE.

A friend of mine is always hounding me to stop eating red meat, etc., because I'll live longer... but, as I've explained to him, I don't want to live longer if it means giving up greasy burgers and pepperoni pizza! :laugh:

And I don't really eat fast food except Subway if I'm in a hurry & I'm with other people who want it. In a moment of insanity (more extreme than usual) I tried Popeye's a month ago and it was disgusting. That'll do it for me & fast food for the next ten years.

Actually. That just kinda made me want to eat chicken. Mmm.. chicken. I like mine grilled. With lots of lettuce on it.
Either way, they're gonna die and be eaten. Cuz no matter how much PETA bitches, people are still gonna eat chicken. That's the truth, no matter how heinous it sounds.

You seemed to have missed the point. It's acknowledged that people are still going to eat chicken no matter what, but why does KFC have to be so cruel and sick towards their chicken? They pump them so full of drugs that they grow deformed, they breed them in their own feces, they boil them in water to kill them, they cut off their beaks, they break their legs at birth; it's horrendous.
PETA simply advocates more humane treatment.
Try to get a grasp of the abuse before you bitch about PETA "bitching." :rolleyes: And if that made you want chicken...:eek:

I just wanted to say that since I'm a junk food junkie, I ate at McDonalds, Burger King and KFC lots in London. LOL
Lemme just say that the chicken is WAAAAAYYYYYYY better in England. I had a chicken sandwich at Burger King and it was REALLY good, it SUCKS here in the States. Also, the chicken at KFC was really great too. Although you don't have potato wedges like we do here.
BUT, I prefer McDonalds here. It wasn't bad, it just tastes different a lil bit.

It seems kinda like sonic is kinda like a south and parts of the west coast thing.
It's "america's drive in".. the girls used to roller skate out, but i guess insurance was an issue or something. Hot dogs "coneys" (Eww), hamburgers, tater tots, etc. They have good ice cream, floats, sundaes, and all that.
And I'm not a moron.. I know what the KFC website was about. But I'm still saying what the hell's the point when they're being raised to be killed. They're going to die, period. Heck, I think I'd rather live a crappy life just to die than to get used to the good days and get my top knocked off. It's almost like why do they bother sterilizing the lethal injection needle? (Yes, for those administering the shot.. but still.) mmm.. chicken strips and potato wedges. You're dead on, Christy.. those wedges are great. I hope they don't abuse the potatoes. I heard they pull their eyes out.. I hope it's not true.
Oh. EDIT.
I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. I'm just making light of the situation.. as I see it. Just so you know, Dissension, I don't by any means think animal cruelty is OK. I think it's important to be concerned about what really goes down.. but I think several things are highly exaggerated. Maybe, maybe not.. you know. So I'm not picking on you for having a stance.. I just find that site ridiculous - not in the information contained, but the way they go about getting their message across.
The truth is this: PETA has seriously lost track of the real issues at hand. I was a member of the organization for 2 years. I can no longer agree with their methods. Harassing people is NOT right.. no group should condone tarring and feathering anyone for ANY reason. Paying thousands and thousands for the defense of a madman who BLEW UP a laboratory because of animal testing - injuring humans - is not right; not a bit more than testing on the animals is. Standard operating procedure with the group is search and destroy: find someone eating a certain thing or using a certain product and guilt trip them.. or tease them.. or harass them.. until they stop. It's not right, and human beings have rights too. I may not like it that someone supports an industry that might not be completely ethical.. but it's their perogative. The most I can do is talk to them like a decent human being.. point out things in a straight up way. Not intimidate the hell out of them and make them feel like a jerk for doing what they do. They might not even know.
I feel more productive helping out my local humane society and foster networks than I ever did with PETA. (Not just for domestic animals, of course.) They need to learn a bit about communication as a tool. Sitting around bitching about Johnson & Johnson and boycotting fast food joints didn't do a thing, and I'm sorry I wasted time and money supporting that group.
If PETA wants things to change for the animals, they need to promote their values in a more peaceful.. less fanatical way. Many people find the organization to be so outrageous that.. well.. they forget the group is supposed to be about taking care of the animals. The only know the shock value of the protesters and other cronies.
That's just how I feel about it. So I had to tease a little. (Hah. Potato eyes. Get it. Hah.) ;) I still find red meat and pork products to be absolutely hideous.. but I've come out of my vegan stage and have been eating some dairy products.. primarily cheese.. and occasional poultry to appease the family.. for the past year or so. I am responsible for the slaughter of millions of potatoes though, I have to admit. God, I love anything that used to be a potato. And those potato wedges really are nice. :laugh:

I never meant to insinuate that you were a moron. :)
I understand what you're trying to say about PETA, but at the same time, it isn't a fair assessment. Yes, they've gotten too fanatical for their own good. I do not agree with their methods of harassing people and physically assaulting them. However, I do support their endeavors that are exempt from that type of behavior, like the KFC campaign. No matter how fanatical or ridiculous the group is (and it certainly is), there can be no denying that KFC is cruel and inhuman to their livestock.
The fact of the matter is that they could be a million times less brutal than they are. All they have to do is gas their chickens, not torture them (which is exactly what they do). Yum Brands (KFCs parent company) has refused to be more humane with their chickens; it's that simple. They brutalize these animals while still alive and that isn't right. By gassing them, they'll feel like they're falling asleep and won't feel a thing. The argument that they're going to be killed anyways doesn't fly, either. Just because they are being bred for food, it doesn't mean that while they're alive they should be tortured endlessly.
And even if I could care less about the way chickens are treated, I still wouldn't eat food from a place where their chicken rolls in around in its own excrement its entire life and has been doped up with drugs every day to induce growth.
Just my thoughts, though. ;)

I agree but the fact that Chipotle is owned by McDonald's counts for something. That and the fact that Baja Fresh is usually considered fast food too.

I guess I assume that the chickens used by KFC in Oz are from Australia, and that given I have endlesly heard about cruelty to battery hens, I would have heard about worse cruelty to 'food' chickens. But maybe I'm wrong and they import the chicken meat from the US, although I doubt it. Anyway, the chicken tastes so good, thats why i love it. They must be well looked after to taste so good!
And as for eggs, when I do get them I buy happy eggs (free range). I don't support the hen batteries after the footage I've seen. Who could?

I love Arby's-I always get the beef 'n' cheddar combo w/ homestyle fries (the best fast food fries, imo). Mmmmm, Arby's sauce and Horsey sauce mixed together (drool).
McDonald's - I don't go there often, only like twice a year, but I always get the 1/4 pounder w/ cheese, which appears to have shrunk over the years?? Anyway, I prefer...
Burger King. Who can resist a Whopper w/ cheese?
Schlotzsky's - pastrami on rye. Yum. They need to add baked chips to the menu.
As for Wendy's and Jack in the Box - they both have yummy salads. I can't stand Wendy's burgers, but I do like their .99 cent menu - side salads and baked potato. And they're super fast!
Pizza - only Austin's Pizza will do. The Mediterranean is my fave. Expensive, but I'm worth it.

Taco Mayo-Hella better than "Toxic Hell" and very inexpensive!!
(Kinda ironic but last week when Debbie was discharged from the hospital to be admitted to a skill center to do rehab, We stopped at the drive-thru at Taco Mayo on the way...As we was waiting on our order KRXO 107.7FM played "Landslide" from the soon-to-be-released 'Reissue' of the "Fleetwood Mac" album, They even mentioned it as such!!!)

Sadly, I cannot do that anymore - but I sure as hell miss it!!!! :laugh:

McDonald's - I don't go there often, only like twice a year, but I always get the 1/4 pounder w/ cheese, which appears to have shrunk over the years?? Anyway, I prefer...
Burger King. Who can resist a Whopper w/ cheese?
Schlotzsky's - pastrami on rye. Yum. They need to add baked chips to the menu.
As for Wendy's and Jack in the Box - they both have yummy salads. I can't stand Wendy's burgers, but I do like their .99 cent menu - side salads and baked potato. And they're super fast!
Pizza - only Austin's Pizza will do. The Mediterranean is my fave. Expensive, but I'm worth it.
:wavey:
I haven't been to Taco Cabana since the year I moved to Austin - the one at Lamar south of the bridge.
I hate the Schlotzky's bread. A dry sponge, but mushier.:distress: And the salads are just as bad.

That's the Taco Cabana I usually go to at lunch time - I work close by - Mopac and Rollingwood. And it's fun to drive thru Zilker Park on a nice day.
I agree on the Schlotzsky's bread- that's why I get the pastrami on rye - it's not as spongy as the white bread or sourdough, whatever that crap is.
:D

That TC has bad traffic, though.
I didn't know Schlotzky's offers other kinds of bread. Good to know.

I haven't heard of alot of these places! LOL
I love Taco Bell probably the most. I like their chalupas.
I also love Wendy's jr bacon cheeseburgers.
Thats basically all I ever get if I get fast food, I really try to stay away! I eat alot of DOMINOS since I work there...chicken kickers are yummy.
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets?

Did someone say spiked cherry limeades? Count me in! Mmmm.. Sonic drinks. (If you haven't tried the Ocean Water.. gettt itttt.. getttt itttt!!)
And I, too, have to throw in some love for subway. I'm obsessed with their parmesean and oregano bread. And cheese. And lettuce. For some reason, I get subway cravings.. but the cravings are always for the bread, cheese, and lettuce. It must be my vegetarian ghost.
And I think I forgot Quiznos. Mmmmmm.. I love the mixture of spices they use.. and the alfredo sauce. Plus.. chicken soup is sooOoooo good!
