Fast Food Nation
Not long ago I watched the movie “Fast Food Nation“. If you want a cure for your fast food addiction, you might want to watch that movie too. I don’t think I will ever set a foot in Mc Donalds again or any other chain fast food restaurant for that matter.
This movie made me feel sick and if I could I would have stuck a finger in my throat to throw up every freaking junk food meal I have ever have.
Don Anderson is the Mickey’s food restaurant chain’s Marketing Director. He is the inventor of the “Big One” the hamburger best seller of Mickey’s. An independent research reports the presence of cow’s feces in the Big One. So Don is sent to Cody, Colorado, to verify if the slaughterhouse, main supplier of Mickey’s, is efficient as it appears and the production process is regular. During his investigations he discovers the horrible truth behind a simple hamburger; the reality is not like we think it is. Don discovers that the mass production system involves from the temp workers like Amber, to the exploitation of Mexican irregular immigrants. It is not only the meat that is crush in the mincing machine, but all our society.
I don’t think that it is that extreme here in Australia, but after seeing that movie I am completely cured from wanting to go to McDonalds, KFC or Hungry Jacks. The only fast food restaurant I’ll ever set foot in will be Subway.

Did you see the end with the cows being slaughtered?
I didn’t… because I knew it was coming I just decided to save myself some unpleasantness and skip that part
Yes, I watched the whole movie. It made me feel pretty sick to be honest. Skipped my dinner after that
That movie was absolutely disgusting! I do think an occasional splurge is fine. But, no way could I eat it as much as he did.
I’ve seen that movie a couple times. It really makes you think about the junk we put into our bodies. We eat fast food about once a month, and even less after we saw Fast Food Nation. Ugh. One heck of a wake up call.
