9. What is your synopsis of it?

[Midnight Rambler]

10. In a few words...

Thanks to the fast food industry, our cities are all starting to look the same (chain burger joints, big box stores, Starbucks), independent ranchers are getting it in the ass, working in a slaughterhouse sucks more than anything else, and the executives don't give a shit about how disgusting the meat is, or how sick it might make people.

Plus, marketing to kids is just plain creepy, if you ask me.

[WCGreen]

12. Hungry?

[Midnight Rambler]

15. No thanks, I just ate

[biscodawg]

16. does he talk shit about white castle?

cuz if so... :mad:

[Midnight Rambler]

18. No, no talking shit about White Castle

In fact, his only discussion of them was limited to talking about how they started off, and chose a color that suggested cleanliness to counter the early Twentieth Century image of hamburgers as a filthy food.
