#164: Don't eat at fast food "restaurants"

I happen to have experienced the other night the unfortunate coincidence of watching the documentary Food, Inc. while eating a hamburger tainted with e coli. The result: extra special images of cows being force-fed foods unnatural to their systems and shitting each other while I hurled up last night's tainted ground beef. The unnatural food cows are fed is CORN, which is fed to them because it's cheap to grow and because our government subsidizes it - basically so that McDonald's and all the other ungodly, insulting fast-food "restaurants" (does anybody really consider them restaurants?) can serve you and your kids caca that is unnatural to your own system and will make you fat, diabetic, hypertensive, etc. if you eat it with any regularity. (And that, if you eat it long enough, will fool you into thinking it's actually food).

Food, Inc. is overwhelming and made me feel helpless to do much about the Soylent Green our government and businesses apparently expect me to toss in my gullet. Among other things, there's a Veggie Libel Law to contend with. But there is one thing you and I CAN do, and that's this: Don't eat at fast food restaurants! Just don't. If you're in a hurry, make a freaking sandwich.

And here's a P.S. to certain Houston grocery stores: Don't fucking package up gobs of ground beef at a discount price and falsify the expiration date so that dupes like me will buy it, take it home, freeze it, and nearly croak when they consume it. Someday somebody will croak - somebody's kid or old granny - and it'll be your fault, asshole.
