Look at most ALL the best restaurants in the world. Do you notice anything odd?.Sup wrote:
yes I'm 12. Good guess. Seems its different here, women know how to cook at an early age, but we don't have many fast food restaurants here so maybe that's why, Johnny.

Because activists watched Fast Food Nation and 30 Days, targeted Fast Food restaurants as their enemy, and got politicians to play along. Fast food being singled out was completely retarded and illogical. (they had the bonus of being corporate, and activists hate corporations).11 Bravo wrote:

Because fast food is produced to a formula. A restaurant can not guarantee every meal is identical. They also can not afford nor is it practical to test every meal for nutritional content when menus can change on a regular basis.
no but they can tell you that they used 20 pounds of butter for that sauce on your pasta.......DrunkFace wrote:

There's a show called Man versus Food? We are definitely heading into the age of Idiocracy.11 Bravo wrote:

that is not the point. i dont care. what bothers me is why fast food gets singled out when these places are just as bad or worse.JohnG@lt wrote:

I think Drunkface is probably correct. Proper restaurants change their menus a lot, and their cooking is not as formulaic.11 Bravo wrote:

what is a proper rest? i have seen kitchen nightmares......so tell me which ones are proper.
and how many chain rests are out there? their shit is just like fast food. fridays, chilis, applebees, etc
And I agree with you. Fast food has been demonized in this country. What it boils down to is class warfare and snobbery. People who go to 'real restaurants' are expected to be intelligent enough to know what they are doing while the poor need to be protected from their bad decisions by having their nose rubbed in the caloric content of their food. It's easy to be high and mighty when you're an activist housewife who has the time to go to the gym three days a week, has to look good for hubby or he'll trade her in for a new model, and who wouldn't dare set foot inside of a fast food place in case she is seen by her friends. For people who bust their ass all day, don't make a whole lot, and who just want to crash at the end of the day with minimal hassle, fast food is simply a cheap option. These aren't the people out protesting trans fats and the caloric content of the food, that's done by people who would never eat the food. They will never go after the food establishments that they themselves frequent. There weren't a whole lot of alcoholics in the temperance movement after all...11 Bravo wrote:

Proper as in "not fast food." I suppose it wouldn't be too much to ask a chain like Applebee's or Chili's to provide nutritional menus, but more local restaurants (and the fancier ones that aren't chains) probably would find this to be a bit burdensome.11 Bravo wrote:

Granted, as you said, they could at least mention a few key things like "by the way, this has x amount of butter".
