AMERICA, HOME OF THE BRAVE-
LAND OF THE FAST FOOD CHAINS
I'm no health nut, but after years and
years of foolish adolescence, I've come to
the conclusion that the food I've consumed
in fast food establishments, really and
(honestly) truly, SUCKS!!
The only good thing about these places
is, when you're really and truly bored, you
can go there and make the biggest mess in
your life, and it's sort of O.K. I mean, you al-
most feel obligated to squirt the ketchup all
over the counters, and in most adolescent
circles, this is a ritual. Now, Point No. 1
against these places is that, how can you
realistically consider patronizing an estab-
lishment that most of the younger middle
class populace has virtually no respect for?
Point No. 2 Your typical student lunch: a
hamburger, french fries and coke a
week's RDA requiremet of salt, in one
meal.
Point No. 3 It's greasy. And "Greasy" in
healthy-type terms, Sucks.
Point No. 4 Most often, cowboys hang
out there (if you're from the midwest or hick
towns), or transients, who've scraped
enough change together to get a cup of
coffee and a warm place to drink it in (it
you're from a big city), and rest there.
Point No. 5 No matter how many differ-
ent "Secret Sauces" and "Shapes" of ham-
burgers they try to shove on you, they all
basically taste the same. For example,
"You can go to a McDonald's in Omaha,
Nebraska, and a McDonald's in Tokyo,
Japan, and you are guaranteed that what
you're getting is identical from one to the
next. According to Glen E. Friedman.
Point No. 6 As you've probably noticed,
I don't like these places.
Point No. 7 They are outlets for multina-
tional corporations who train idiots into
thinking there is a future in being a man-
ager of her/his own McDonald's or Burger
King or Carl's Jr. or Wendy's or Taco Bell or
Jack in the Box or...
How can any "Rebel" support this?
Point No. 8 Way too easy to eat there.
Notice how they're almost always conven-
iently located right next to the Interstate, or
the "main drag" in Anytown, USA.
Point No. 9 For instance, considering
the quality of these "Burgers" etc., think
about the BEEF, the last ring in the 'ulti-
mate' food chain. Your average American
cattle eat better than most third world citi-
zens. Plus, the average American eats
twice the protein his/her body can use in a
day. Do you know that it takes 10 lbs. of
grain to make one pound of beef? And,
beef will sit in your intestine for at least 48
hrs. This can only turn into fat! All food
should pass through your body within 18
hours.
How many people do you think can be
fed with the amount of grain it takes to pro-
duce a Big Mac or Whopper? More than a
few, thank you. For some reason, sprouts
are the best alternative to meat. Yeah, that's
right, wimpy sprouts'! The cost is only a
fraction of beef, and it's much higher in pro-
tein. Unfortunately, the 'wimpy sprouts' are
easy to digest, cook and use, etc.!!
So, in conclusion, it really makes me
wonder when I see people in expensive
vehicles (a sign of success and intelligence
in most neighborhoods) drive through Mr.
McDonalds and order up big. It makes me
wonder hard. After all I've learned about
this garbage food, I say, "America's meat
and potatoes," my ass!!
A SALAD AND A DRESSING
Here's a quick little item I got out of a
muscle mag that you might like. It's a pretty
basic salad, but it's a killer salad. Also, l'i
tell you how you can make "Da-Kine" salad
dressing.
Start building the salad with some let-
tuce, and other greens (spinach leaves,
etc.). Chop up some bell peppers, celery,
tomatoes, cucumber, turnip and mus-
hrooms. Whatever is convenient. Throw
into a salad bowl and move it around a
whole bunch with your hand, or some salad
tongs (if you can afford them).
To make the dressing, get yourself a
blender, 1 ripe avocado, ½ stick of celery, 1
tomatoe, ½ peeled cucumber and the juice
of ¼ lemon. Put into a blender and push the
button that says "Whir". Let it run until the
mixture is creamy (also makes a good dip).
Goes great with fried chicken.
CHEF BOY'S THOUGHT ON FOOD
Hey boys and girls, did you know that as
far as the U.S.D.A. is concerned, cattle
lung is considered standard equipment for
the "ALL AMERICAN HOT DOG?, yeah!
