wmw999 2,122 #51 November 17, 2004 The treatment that some food animals get is not much better than torture. If you think animal torture is wrong because of what it does to the animal, trust me, this is wrong too. Nothing wrong with eating humanely-treated meat. But I'd rather not pay other people to treat animals poorly. To make veal, the legs of baby calves are tied down with 6" ropes so that the meat stays tender because they can't walk around. They live like that until they're slaughtered. It's not the killing, it's the way they live until then. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

I use to eat Mc donalds all the time, i was always a very skinny person too,..........then one day it all just hit me! I am fine now and do not eat it, as it is an aweful food and if you watched the movie, you would realise that the movie is true! Do you tell me that the movie is not true? One other thing i dont get.....McD's has a big problem with everyone thinking you get fat from it, so why on earth do you guys employ the fattest people i have ever seen? Okay so they were probably fat before they were employed but why do you employ them? do you not see the image that gives off when you walk in a store? when i use to walk in and wait in line, those people would put me off eating in your store and i would just walk out the door. It seems you guys have a fat problem with your food and you do not market your company very well if you employ people that are not just fat but hugely Obese. Fat is disgusting, it does not need to be there, though i feel for the people that have a hard time with it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ehaecker 0 #58 February 16, 2005 I work behind the counter of the largest flight school in the area. On weekends, instructors will go down the street to McD's to grab lunch really quick between flights. When they come in, the smell is pretty good, but when they are finished eating, they put their trash in the big trash can behind the desk. After about an hour is starts to smell soooo bad. I used to go eat McD's myself, but not anymore, I cannot stand the smell. As for the instructors, I make them take their trash outside into the dumpster now lol. I cannot stand the thought of eating that crap anymore. They just put a new subway in just down the street, and more and more of the instructors are eating there now, which isn't so bad.-------------------------------------------------------- "Just follow your heart, that's what I do." -Napolean Dynamite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SpeedRacer 1 #59 February 16, 2005 Quote>My kids also love it.
