Fecal Fillets

 If you eat fast food and plan to continue, you might want to refrain from reading this post.

I saw Fast Food Nation last week and I've got news for you, people: there is POOP in your burgers.  That's right -- SHIT.  In short, the folks taking out cow intestines on the floors of the meat-packing plants don't know what the hell they're doing; consequently, those guts are leaking fecal matter into your meat.  Yum.

Today, during fourth period, one of my bolder kids asked me if I would go on a "date" with him.  He offered to take me to McDonald's.  I proceeded to launch into my diatribe about FFN, and then closed the conversation by declaring, "J, the way to tempt me is definitely NOT with the offer of a shit sandwich, thanks."

Incidentally, I am not quite sure how to break this devasting news to my former therapist.

Oh boy am I glad that I am a psuedo vegetarian. Though I am fond of french fries, as you know.

I would just tell her that Fast Food Nation is totally worth seeing and then let her discover for herself...

Have you read the book Fast Food Nation? There are lots of disturbing and crazy things in that.

LOL! I would have loved to see that kid's facial expression go from naively hopeful, to ... "dear, God, that's disgusting ... forget I asked!" :)
