Fast Food Nation - Bojack - 07-13-2007
Anyone ever see this movie? God it fucked up ever wanting a hamburger again.
It was a fictionalized movie based off a non-fiction book about the fast food industry. Not the greatest film, but it got the job done. One interesting fact I remember is how the line is moving too fast in these processing plants, and if the 'gut table' isn't slow enough to get done right, shit gets all in the meet. EVERY DAY. Or there could be an accident where someone loses a limb and all the human flesh doesn't get cleaned.
And they filmed an actual kill floor. Gross.
Bottom line, if you like meat, don't watch this film.

I've seen that book someplace, and I watched Super Size Me and had no desire to go eat fast food for a while after that.
On a quasi related note, I think it's hilarious that the carnivorous species of early man had a bigger brain than the herbivore branch, which subsequently died out in total primitive man vegetarian extinction. (Over a period of time which I can't seem to recall and don't feel like looking up right now)

I will never ever eat at McDonalds or Burger King or any place like that unless I'm forced to because of that movie.
And on that same note, I just want to say that I really fucking hate overweight people and it disgusts me to watch any overweight person eat, especially watching them eat at McDonalds. Honestly I would rather just kill myself than be overweight. I honestly hate overweight people that much.

So... I don't want to pick an arguement here, because up to this point, I liked you just fine, but you hate overweight people? why? I am overweight. You hate me? you don't even know me. Is it because I eat? Gee, you know... I can't exactly NOT eat. I mean, food is fuel. Its a requirement to survive. Sure some take it overboard, but what about those who actually have medical problems that cause weight gain? Ever hear of policystic ovaries? yeah, the side effects of that shit isn't cool. One of them include excessive weight gain.
So, I have no right to go eat at McDonalds just because I am fat, is that what I am reading here?
I want to make this clear that I am NOT trying to pick a fight, I am just curious as to your reasoning here. Its just the same as saying that I hate all skinny people, and I find it disgusting that bone is considered attractive.

I was kind of mad when I made this post. What I really meant was obese to morbidly obese people. I hate the fact that the United States is the most obese country and that our portion sizes are enormous compared to everyone else's. I can understand if someone is obese because of a medical problem (I am currently on pills that cause you to become very hungry, but I can control my eating), or if they can't afford healthy foods (McDonalds is of course, cheaper). But I can't stand it when people are just lazy, overeating slobs and can't put down their bag of Doritos to go outside and go running or something.

I saw it. It didn't scar me for life or whatever. I knew most of that before I watched it. I love meat. I'm not giving it up because I suddenly see something that was always there. It's no different eating it now then it was before, except now I know what I could be eating.

I'd be more overweight then I am right now if it weren't for my parents and their crap fear that I had ADD. So they put me on drugs that had a side effect that made me eat less. Now I don't stop eating...WTF!!!!!
anyways on topic I saw Super Size me while in England and thought it was funny when his wife described his sex drive...silly guy.

But why would you care? Whilst I like to encourage physical activity, hating all fat people just seems dumb and intolerant.
