YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Lady, we live in a country filled with people with jobs and lives, and those people have to be fed FAST. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Darklioness? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the disgusting ingredients, and you curse the institution of McDonald's.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that the chemical makeup of these burgers, while revolting, keeps America FED; and the Big Mac's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps America FED.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you WANT that fast food joint there. You NEED it there, because after a miserable day shift at UPS, your screaming children will demand food, and you will have neither the time nor the inclination to make some!
We use words like "safety standards," "hygiene," "nutrient paste." We use these words as the backbone of web of lies that keeps the FDA off our backs so you can have your protein-based slop when you need it!
I don't need to explain myself to someone who turns their nose at the Happy Meal and then, when they're out of money and vegan beef jerky, comes crawling back for an egg McMuffin!
I would rather you say "thank you" and pulled through to the next window. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a spatula AND START GRILLING! Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think is in that burger, BECAUSE YOU'LL EAT IT ANYWAY!
