Fast Food Nation

[strangebrew]

This is the stupidity I am talking about…. If you care about this country then you should care about the effects of this shit. I never claimed to be smart and in fact the more that I learn the more I realize that I know NOTHING!!

But that is okay keep going ahead and living your daydream Americans… And keep wondering why other countries think American are arrogant assholes…. Moral fucking values my ass….

#1 - I don't care about this country. I only care about myself and my family and friends. Selfish bastard? Sure.

#2 - I could give two shits what other countries think about Americans.

#3 - Moral Values are overrated.

Granted your family should be the most important but don't you see the pattern here... The laws that are past will in fact affect your family right? The pollution in the air affects the health of your family right? These obese poor people in the hospital you’re paying for with your tax dollars right? etc.... You don’t see the problem here?

Now you made me feel bad.

Guess I'll go get some tofu and sprouts and shit like that.

Indirectly it will, but very minutely.

Pollution? Please. I suppose you think we're headed towards global warming too?

The only thing that really truely and directly affects me is myself. The decisions I make.

Back of book

Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage wry wit, and careful reasoning.

Schlosser’s myth-shattering survey stretches from California’s subdivisions, where the business was born, to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike, where many of fast food’s flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths-from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate….



This book starts off with the ties to the government the corruption etc… How the big businesses have taken over this nation and widen the gap between the rich and the poor. With are loving governments there background supporters. I am OUTRAGED!!!... Boiling for Columbine brought me to tear and this makes me PISSED THE FUCK off!!!

It is okay American’s just keep filling your fat, fucking obese mouths with this shit, believing everything you hear on the television, and ignoring everything by numbing your minds with reality tv and celebrities… Why has are world that has more education then ever before become more dumb… this makes no sense!!

This is at least the second time I've seen you bitch about how dumb everyone else is.

"Why has are [sic] world that has more education [sic] then ever before become more dumb [sic]."


It's interesting to watch your thinking; you become so inflamed and easily swayed into anger by pieces of complete trash like "Boiling [sic] for Columbine," and then a paragraph or two down repeat an unoriginal (liberal) rant about how dumb everyone else is...

I think you should be embarrassed at your behavior. If you had just ranted about the book without (again) calling everyone "stupid" than I would not have even responded, but I would recommend tempering your ego considerably, because it is skewed.

I think that rather than trying to educate the lard-asses, the system needs to correct for them. Charge them higher health insurance premiums (just like smokers), force them to pay for two seats on airplanes, trains, busses, theatres, everywhere. Change the definition of disability to exclude those whose health problems are a direct result of obesity. If they want to be fat fucks, that's their business....but make them pay for it themselves.
