we feed our dogs better food than you are feeding your WHOLE FAMILY. THE DOGS don't get cancers any more.
I do have to reply ... I eat fast food in a big chain about 3 or 4 times a year, and eat in even 'higher quality' chain restaurants about 2 or 3 times a year. I buy 90% of my food at a local fish store, a local poultry store, a local produce store, a local bread bakery, a local cheese store and Trader Joe's. I rarely buy anything with HFCS or any partially-hydrogenated oil.
Occasionally, a piece of so-bad-for-you-it-could-kill-you fast food is good. Fortunately, I usually get a headache, lethargy, and cramps, so I rarely do it.
Back to the OP, the guy who had to wait actually got the good, hot and fresh chicken, worth the post-eating suffering!
