OT: We Are All Now Criminals Under The Law

[Atrocities]

Excellent suggestions. I have to say that your are 100% spot on with everything you said in your post. That is one of the reasons I think this forum has survived for so long, it is filled with good people, not low brow name calling jerks like virtually every other forum on the net these days.

I've never understood it when I read of how fast food supposedly tastes bad. If it supposedly tastes so bad why do so many people eat it?. I quite like the occasional KFC Chicken Burger, and some chips. Real chicken. I can't stand McDonalds beef burgers though. It's just bits stuck together, and overcooked. I always assumed that was my personal taste though. I prefer juicy meat, Mcdonalds would be closed down if they tried to sell meat that still had blood in it (It's called blue). I only have fast food maybe 2 or 3 times a year though.

We have a chain, i suppose it's international, called Hungry Jacks.

"you can't get better than Hungry Jacks"

um actually yes you can. I tried their chicken burger made from real processed chicken bits and won't go back there on principle.

You know actually it seems Fast food is bad after all. Hmm I suppose I never noticed since as I said I very much like a Bacon and cheese chicken burger on rare occasions.

Now what you call Luncheon meat, urg. My philsophy is a reasonable amount of real food, I always have some turkey or Ham in thefridge, rather than processed meat and crisps all the time. I enjoy trying out new recipes, incidentally trying to find out the secret of KFC. I have my own recipe for fried chicken, and am always trying new food. Most common food I find incredibly bland and try new spices and sauces. It's gotten to the stage where I find chilli pepper a bit boring.

If you rent one movie this year, make it Super Size Me. Just watch that movie.

If your do watch it, watch the deleted scenes as well.

You won't eat for a month

Well the manufacturers do have a point. One I agree with. Of course your cholesterol and weight will go up if you eat McDonalds 3 times a day for what, 6 months.

On the rare occasion I do go to KFC I never upsize. I find the whole meal a filling treat, but intentionally getting more chips and drink is just being greedy. I did get such a thing on the house last time, but that was only because they were delayed and I guess it was payment for waiting. I didn't realise till I got home.

Incidentally I have a condition called Ménière's disease. There is way too much salt in food these days, and it destroyed the hearing in my right ear. When I was diagnosed I think I had 6, maybe 10, times as much sodium in my system as was healthy. I only put a little bit of salt on my food once a week, on fridays when I have fish and chips. This is why I use other spices, like pepper, or chili. If you urinate 10 times a day it means you have too much sodium in your system.

I gradually weaned myself off salt, and these days eating anything with the amount of salt I used to have makes me want to throw up, it's so strong. Just standing near chips at the shop makes my temeprature go up. I won't tell you what happens to the skin in my mouth if I eat salt and vinegar.

Just a point of reference for people, but "Hungry Jack's" in Australia is "Burger King" in the US.
