Not sure if you guys have touched base on this movie/documentary yet, but its worth seeing again if you thing Fast Food is “Ok” every once in a while.

All I can say is wow! I'll never eat at "Any Fast Food" place again.

I saw it a while back, and man is it eye opening.

Ive only eaten there once since then and that was post hangover!

I used to eat there like 3 times a week and also take my kids there, but i wont touch the stuff now.

The funny thing is while your watching it and hes telling you how much weight hes gained, how much his cholesterol has risen and the headaches and withdrawal symptoms he having. You still think to yourself, "man that looks good" how mad is that!!!!

Good show tho, everyone should see it, then re-assess how they eat.

I worked at McDonald's as a teenager so I'd never eat there just cuz of that.... the stuff we had to do to get the food ready is in one word: GROSS

Funny you should say that about eating there with your kids. McDonalds try’s to get kids at a young age with the clowns and play areas so the associate McDonalds food with good childhood memory’s, than they eat there more often as adults.

I like when Morgan Spurlock, producer/director/guinea pig of Super Size Me says when he has kids they way he will keep that from happening is “ Every Time I Drive By A McDonald’s I will Punch my kid'(s)” Just joking of course

I'm listening....

I'm listening....

Well, let's see:

The drain in the cook area would always back up, so we'd be standing in about 1-2 inches of water & grunge..... drop the food in it, pick it up & put it back on the tray & serve it.....

The food was supposed to be rotated ever 10 minutes -- ie: tossed away...eh, just change the number on it & serve it anyway....

I ALWAYS dropped food on the floor -- picked it up & used it anyway.

As employees we'd always cook our own food to order, as the other stuff was just NASTY!!

Sometimes it really helps to visualize something gross to get you out of the craving for junk food... Doesn't always work, but, hey! it's worth a shot



But all that stuff is really what I did when I worked there....



OH!! And the temp in the cooking area in summer was always 100 degress F + & we'd take the burgers out of the freezer & just set them down in boxes on the floor, thawing.....for hours....
