This is for all of the people that eat fast food on a regular basis. The next time you eat it, think about what you are eating, where it came from, and how mass produced it is. I bet you can still eat it. —Problem #1

Are you serious? way to change the world by appealing to a small number of people who will read this and eat that anyway.
Also, look around at the clientele and ask yourself, “Do I want to look like that?”
Seriously it works, look at the shape of the people in the restaurant, alot of times, it has caused me to turn around and walk out.
Fuck you and your self-righteous ass, OP.
I bet I can still eat it too, OP. What the fuck’s your point?
It’s a lost cause OP. McDonald’s is still getting more and more money even though people preach the health hazards, Super Size Me, and their executive peeps dying of heart attacks and it doesn’t seem like it’s slowing down consumption. All they have to do is add a couple more salads to the menu here and there and people will feel better about eating a Big Mac.
I watched Super size me and then ate at MacDonald’s an hour later….I just don’t learn anything.
I didn’t eat there for a little while but it’s not like I ate there every day anyway. But now I might eat fast food like maybe once every couple months or something. And when I do, it’s just because I forgot a lunch :(!
All this post did was make me hungry and remind me of mcdonalds, now i’m off for a big mac.

Enough said.
OP, fat people don’t stop to think what they push down their throats….if it looks like food, smells like food, they eat it. 100% all beef hamburgers……exactly, and so was the cow that it came from, including the hair, bones, intestines, and bowels that made up the beef.
Kinda like gays hitting on straight men. Contrary to what Will & Grace taught a generation of sebastians, most (real) men are straight and are happy being so instead of being confused or shy. Choosing the alternative lifestyle is like opting to play for the Washington Generals against the Dream Team.
*zing*
Fat’s gota ya there, sebastard.
And not one “slur” either.
Good luck getting that one deleted you fucking loser.
I just read that the ‘Sub sandwich’ place has just become bigger than Rotten Ronnie’s. Must be a shortage of glass or something driving that !
I didn’t think anyone but the military could slice sandwich meat so thin it only has 1 side !
mmmmmmm, kfc, macronalds, timmies, and of course, burgerkinky. gotta love that artery clogging shit. i guess that’s why i weigh 700 pounds now.
What’s fucked up about subway is that they put SOME sort of chemical in their food that makes it all smell the same and taste the same… I don’t buy this whole “eat fresh” shit at all.
I mean, I make myself a ham and turkey sandwich at home with the exact same type of bread and condiments/veggies as subway (but from the grocery store) and I’m fine. I eat the same thing at subway and I’m sick for days.
What gives? (and don’t bother going to subway if you have somewhere to be afterwards and eat in — you’ll end up smelling like BO all day).
Subway’s no better than Mcdicks IMHO. But at least Mcdicks doesn’t make me sick for days afterwards.
So that’s where all the used kitty litter goes !
Ugh, I’m sick as hell today, and reading this post did not help 🙁
Apparently I don’t learn either.
My potatoes are mass produced…shame on me!
the turkey isn’t turkey and the white cheese is stretched with lard @sub…
I rarely eat fast food.
You rarely make posts that are worth the millisecond it takes to read them, either.
Don’t give a fuck. I’ll eat what I want to eat, where I want to eat. What’s more dangerous than eating at Rotten Ronnies? The person that’ll knock the shit out of the OB for sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong. The OB just has to be Orange.
Yeah, Bon, shut the fuck up and go take your son for a bus ride.
Nothing better than a big mac and a large salty fries after a night of binge drinking.
They start at McD’s and yaffle many a mega meal, this then turns them into dreadnoughts, so they go to wallyworld for some stretchy porker pants and hey presto there’s a McD’s inside wallyworld so…….
Strike up the orchestra – theme song from Lion King – Circle of Life.
Saw Eric Burdon last night, songs were great, but he had laryngitis which sucked arse.
My body is a temple – a temple of nachos with extra cheese and jalapeno peppers.
i knew two people whose hangover cure was two big macs…mmm nachos
I like the blue corn chips best.
Nothing beats salt and grease when you’ve been on the tiles the night before. And to give the devil his due; those are the 2 things the Evil Clown does best.
Yo, OP.
What I am eating? A delicious cheeseburger… mmmm. Where it came from? A delicious cow… mmmm. Preservatives? My food better have preservatives in it, if it didn’t it’d be rotten or full of maggots.
As for mass production:
Everything you eat is mass produced. Even the stuff labeled as ‘green’, ‘organic’, and ‘local’ has an extremely good chance of being mass produced in a different country. Unless you have grown it yourself, it’s really hard to know, labeling laws are a kind of a mess.
Everything you wear is mass produced, everything you have ever bought has been mass produced, and if it itself wasn’t mass produced then the things it’s been made of HAVE been mass produced. I love hipsters who boast about how they make their own cloths after buying the fabric from a store that buys it from a factory much like the one used to mass produce store-bought clothing.
Mass production itself is not a bad thing. Without it we would all starve and have pretty much nothing. Mass production and genetic engineering is currently keeping billions of people alive. Not just here, the science of genetically modifying food so that it can be grown in harsher climates or so that it can have a higher nutritious value alone has only recently saved billions of people in third world countries from starvation.
It’s the standards to which we hold our mass producing companies that we need to worry about, not mass production itself. They should be held to strict ethical, health, and environmental standards.
Did you tip, Snoop?
Nope, although the Asian lady who made my hamburger a beautiful thing was nicer and more pleasant than most servers I’ve encountered at non-fast food restaurants.
She probably works harder too.
Maybe I’ll tip her next time just to further piss off the uppity servers who squeal about how they work harder than chain restaurant employees.

I don’t believe E V E R Y T H I N G is mass produced Snoop.
THe eggs on my plate a few minutes ago, came from the Lady just up the street , where I buy them…you have to be careful as you drive up to the house, not to hit any of her chickens that are out in the yard.
The Blueberry preserves I had on my toast, came from a family that sells their produce at the local farmers market out here. My toast is on bread from the Bakery besides the Royal Bank here in Elmsdale…I like the round shape …but the flour is a mass produced product of Canada
THe Salsa I had last night with our nacho chips, was made by myself & my girlfriend with all the ingedients coming from last years garden I had.
The corn chips were mass produced.
So not everything Snoop, if you take the time to look around, there are some things you can get locally produced in small batches ~:)
PS. yesterday while out for a drive to see some friends, I went by the farm & seen their Beef cows out in the fields…some of which will be in my freezer soon .
Not everyone eats triple time processed foods. Some of us eat foods as close to their original state as possible. Some of us making our own foods, grow our own foods or buy foods from people who grow them without adding pesticides or torture killed animals.
Jenn , I would like to point out…I do not torture my food animals.
I or others i know may kill them, but we don’t torture them first !
I don’t eat that fast-food crap any more. Rotten Ronny’s gives me the squirts.
Lard stretched cheese… mmmmmmm! It’s just about time for me to get my grub on, McDonalds here I come!
Good luck getting that one deleted you fucking loser.

So then tell me how making some derogatory remark (often violent and illegal) about gays and sebastien in every single bitch is not spam?
Every thread, at least one post. Says the same thing every time. That is spam. It is also almost always off topic. Yet it is not deleted when reported.
I can only conclude that The Coast hates gays and advocates hate speech. It is plain to see.
You’re just digging into the vault today aren’t you? … that’s admirable ..
