How do you feel about fast food?
Oh wow... That thing could never have come from fast food. Clearly a local joint's specialty.
As an alternating pescatarian/vegetarian, I find the menus restrictive. Burger king makes a veggieburger but it's rather sad in flavor ( recooked morningstar patty). I'll eat that but only if I'm protein desperate. I'm not food paranoid despite years in the industry, but I'm food picky, so fast food is usually a no. But if I didntlive in the city andhave twenty options within a block, that BK veggie burger might look better.
Very fattening and not something I would want to take my kid to all the time and not something I would eat at all the time.
If I go to fast food, I don't even count the calories because all those calories I am consuming isn't going to make me gain weight overnight.
If I worked at fast food, I would bring my own lunch.
I never really worry about the health aspects or calories and what-not, normally I just don't each much. Most of the hype around so-called "healthy eating" has dubious origins anyway, whether coming from people trying to use it to sell overpriced organic food, people trying to guilt-trip cultures into not eating animals, even wannabe revolutionaries just trying to blacken the image of big bad capitalist food chains.
All of this supposed "knowledge" that's going around is about as valid as statistics about men's sexual health taken from a survey funded by a viagra company. Naturally they will exaggerate in their own favour. This so-called information is generated by people with their own biased purposes, and then spread virally through populations of people looking for an alternative lifestyle and the "right" way to live, which they can boast about to all their friends and feel righteous while preaching to them as the bearer of "truth".
I've never gotten sick or unhealthy from eating a burger or whatever now and then, and a pizza isn't going to kill anyone. Funnily enough, one time a doctor told me pizza was bad for you, but when I asked about the fact it contains all the different food groups, and is actually a very balanced meal, he didn't know what to say. People just make assumptions that something is bad just because someone else told them it was bad, based on blind faith in whatever kind of "science" they made up to support their claim at the time. Having a few years of social science education myself, I know just how easy it is for people to craft supposedly legitimate scientific "evidence" to support any kind of hair-brained idea very convincingly, whenever someone coughs up the money to pay for a "scientific fact" to be magicked up out of thin air. (Believe me, the kind of research which produces these "facts" is never done for free or without a specific biased purpose in mind, it costs money.)
A lot of what people call "knowledge" isn't as factual as they might like to think. Unless you developed the theory yourself you're taking it completely on faith, you might as well be explaining the flight mechanics of Santa's sleigh or the technique Jesus used to feed thousands.
I'm ranting.
Yeah, I'm a lot more worried about people spitting in my food than I am about having a heart attack from eating the occasional piece of fried meat. I very rarely buy anything from fast food places anyway though, most of my food is home-cooked and fresh, except when I'm trying to test my limits by buying some crappy gross stuff in a can to taste and conquer.
