The fast food industry machine wheels are whining to a halt. With the widespread advocate of non-genetically altered foods people are quitting the fast food nation we are today, and instead bringing forth a fair food nation. During our special diet assignment most of us have argued for a diet that didn’t involve process food, and advocated lots of fruits and vegetables. Based on what Andy had said to us and taught us we have also argued for the treatments of over billions of cattle and steers. Cattle and steers raised in feedlots are treated to a poor life. They are fed up to 25 lbs of food per day and shit as much as 50 lbs of shit per day. In a feedlot with over thousands of cows the daily pile of shit is as high as Mount Kilimanjaro. Once killed the “products” blood and other wastes are than fed back to other steers. In hopes of saving money, however, this deed causes mad cow disease amongst humans and cows alike. The waste of the cows are also mixed into the product we eat from many companies such as McDonalds, Burger Kings, Subways and other fast food restaurants. We are eating shit People!!! Although it’s not that big of a change from what we usually eat. However, now we are finally getting sick from it, we are getting E. coli poisoning and are suffering heavily from it, all because the companies want to raise the productivity of their business. So the faster their illegal immigrants work the sicker we get.

Some companies however, are changing their ways. Take Burger Kings for example they now will only buy free ranged cattle to make their burgers. Yep, they are doing us a favor. However, it’s only 3% of their meat, yep, a whole huge chunk of the pies 3%. Wow that changes everything. But what about the torture the cattle are still going through. And this will definitely cause a huge dent in their financial portion of their company. That means either a higher cost or more worker involved injuries. That means for every 3% of pure organic beef we could enjoy a little percentage of organic human meat. Mm…mmm…cannibalism.

There’s a story my master always tells us and warns us to never eat any fast food, based on this story. My grand master used to drive for Ryder’s trucks and delivered truck loads of McDonalds products every week. One day he came back and in broken English he said.

“Kayo, Kayo don’t eat McDonald burger.” He said.

“Why?” my master asked.

He continues “McDonalds take whole cow…” gestures a entire cow. “hair, shoe horn and bone…” imitates a grinder and meshes his hands together into a compressed form. “…McDonald burger!”

This story even though from the late 1960s tells us that even to now the McDonalds corporation still hasn’t changed their way of making their products. At least they didn’t lie to us; it is a “100% beef.”

My master also told us of an experiment using McDonald’s milkshakes. Regular milkshakes loses its thickness after 20 minutes. However, if you were to sit a Mickey D’s milkshake with a straw through it it’ll never lose its thickness it will sit there for hours after hours and after hours. This experiment proves that not only does McDonald’s milkshake not healthy but it also shows that McDonalds milkshakes ingredients are milk, sugar, ice-cream, and FAT. The fat gives it the thickness that it has and lets it stays in its form in any conditions for years depending on the business of the franchise.
