Hardees v.s. McDonalds

[Meneldil]

lmao, you are forgetting that I was in Europe Meneldil. Europeans eat fast food like crazy! There were multiple McDonalds and Burger Kings in every city I went to, and they were always mobbed.
And FYI, I worked at a sit-down restaurant once, if you think that the food there is any healthier, you are making a big mistake. I washed dishes, but I saw the way the made the food there and what they used. A lot of restaurant's strategies is just to soak things in oil and salt to disguise the taste of the garbage they cook...no different than a fast food place.

Of course there are fast food places in Europe. I'll let you find where they all came from (though there are a few european fast food brands, which are just as bad as others).
Now, most people I know eat there every once in a while, because it's cheap and fast. But even there, or at least in France, you'll see 10 times more people buying handmade sandwhiches with real bread and ham, chicken, tuna and what not than people going to cheap ass fast-food places.

Most people who go to fast foods regularly here are what you call "white trashs" and "scums". They have no taste because they also have no brain. They'll get fat and ugly, and that will be well deserved.

On the other hand, a huge load of peopleeats at fast food places in North America. I had 4 room mates last year in Canada. Except for the chinese one (who kept cooking chinese food) none of them was able to cook a burger, pasta or rice by himself. So, they went to the Taco place (tm), to the Burger place (tm), to the Pizza place (tm). No wonder half of them weighted 3 times more than me even though they're only 25. And it wasn't only my room mates. I met a lot of canadians and americans, and most of them were completely unable to cook. So they all went for some junk food.
Same thing in the US. Streets are filled by fast food places, but decent restaurants? They're few and far inbetween (note that I went only to New-England, things might be different elsewhere in the US, but I doubt it).
Now, I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but the fact that obesity is a huge problem in the US and in Canada might be somehow tied to the fact that there's a fast-food place every five meters, and that people overall eat a bunch of unhealthy crap. Or maybe it's just the climate, or some yet undiscovered disease
(Note that there are more and more obesity issues in Europe too, and most the people who studied the issue pointed at a - fast food places, b - other junk food and c - bad eating habits).
And I also worked in a restaurant. Not a cosy 3 stars restaurant, but a decent one. And I know that most people who worked there were actually doing this fancy thing that we call "cooking". Which is a bit more complicated than putting an overcooked and tasteless burger between two slides of tasteless bread.

I'm perfectly willing to admit that some restaurants are crap, that french food is not what it used to be, that Europe is filled by fast food places, but don't fool yourself by thinking that Wendy's, or Burger King or Hardees are serving healthy and tasteful food. They're all crap, and deserve to be terminated (where's the Terminator smiley when you need it?).
