Actually, I was reading this book called "Fast Food Nation". Any of you interested in what goes into your McDonald's hamburger out to read it. Pretty disturbing. Let's just say that these corporations seem to have found an efficient way to get lower the amount of cow manure they need to bury from the cows... Anyway, the food in In and Out is pretty clean compared to the other fast food restaurants. The other thing you might want to look at is the fat content. The Western Bacon Chessburger from Carl's Jr for example has 72g of fat! That's the same amount of fat as 10 of their milkshakes (ugh...). Talk about artery buster....

<< You guys really should start exporting some fastfood other than McDonalds to us europeans. >>


as soon as you euros figure out how to raise cattle properly, we might consider it. Until then, you're stuck with McHorsemeat.

<< Actually, I was reading this book called "Fast Food Nation". >>

I read an article I think in U.S. News that was basically discussing the same issues as Fast Food Nation, that book was mentioned in the article.

Anyhoo, the author described all of these "upsize" schemes are to get you to eat more, so that you'll become accustomed to eating more, and more, until you're a fat cow with dangerous cholesterol.

The cost of the additional food is already built into the 'base price' of the meal without the upsize. That's why the base meal costs you $3.79, but you can get like 50% more food for 40 cents? How can that be, unless they are already charging you for the upsized amount in the base price. That's how upselling works in almost any industry, really.

I order the base meal, no upsize, and usually I try to make due with the single or junior sandwich instead of the super double meat double grease version. Took a while to get used to, there is the urge to go with more food, but we really eat too much in this society.
