Thank u very much!
Americans should be proud that they are big enough to publish the painful negative truths about some of their practices.
America is a country living extremes and its wiser citizens are not afraid to self-criticise.
I'm looking forward to seeing the film and hope that my own country can see its reflection in what is shown.
Basic human nature is greedy and short-sighted. Thankfully there are those able to crystalise the big picture for those prepared to listen.
We're starting to see the backlash to our want-it-now, have-it-now culture in the West. About time, because what America does today, the rest of the world does tomorrow.

What's the true costs of fast food? For the farmworkers who pick the tomatoes that grace the hamburgers of the fast food industry, the costs are great. Sub-poverty wages, 10-12 hour days without overtime, no benefits, squalid living conditions and in the most extreme cases modern-day slavery.
The costs of farm work in the United States stems from the largest corporate buyers--McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, etc. Such fast food corporations have immense purchasing power in the tomato industry. So much that these corporations are able to dictate the realities of the industry--demanding the cheapest tomatoes possible no matter the cost to human welfare.
But, what is the true cost of fair food? One single copper penny. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers has called upon McDonald's to take responsibility for their supply chain and work with the Coalition to improve wages and working conditions in the fields of Florida. By paying one penny more per pound of tomatoes picked, McDonald's can nearly doubly the wage of a farmworker. As you watch Fast Food Nation, your support with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers can help remedy the conditions that you'll see documented in the film.

I don't like the American Flag on top of the burger. Sure, Americans may lead the world in fast food, but we also lead the world in health food.
Stereotyping all American's as being fat may be partially true, but the whole world is becoming obease. Obesity isn't just a national problem, its an international one.
Say whatever you want but I'll keep buying fast food. What's the worst that could happen to me? I don't care. What's the worst that could happen to the society? I don't care either.
Viagra Like Foods
It was discovered that some foods have a Viagra like effect which helps men treat erectile dysfunction. For example, watermelon can work as a natural Viagra which is cheaper to buy. Other Viagra foods can help treat male impotence as well.
