    All of them want immediate cease of the slaughtering of any animals...yet millions and millions of animals still die for our tastes buds...that's because the majority of us are meat eaters.

    Animal rights groups might change a few things here and there...but they will NEVER stop the cattle industry, chicken, pig, etc...

    ...and that was my point...

    The way they work Hec is they will cause a lot of bad PR for McD's just like Sperlock's film did and if it reaches critical mass McD will bow to them. They will win in the court of Public Opinion. The public will become uncomfortable eating McRibb knowing the animals may have been tortured and sales will drop and the item might not come back. They will not end the eating of meat for the world but they can and will embarrass McD's to the point where some items are dropped from the menu.

    I have a friend on FB who I knew in H.S. and she is a Militant Vegan. She always insists eating meat is no good, everyone should stop, blahblahblah... I have had it out with her several times but she will not bend. I explained to her. It is a personal choice. You can't force others to become Vegan too but she has become a Comic Book Super-Villain. She only knows how to monologue and dictate. As far as I'm concerned she falls under George Carlin's rule now: "Anyone who takes themselves too seriously deserves to become the butt of a joke!"

      Just had one of Wendy's 'new and improved' Dave's burgers and I gotta tell ya, it was a really good and satisfying burger. Greasy like a burger should be but none, I repeat none of the after fast food beef blah's. They've really stepped it up.

        Jim after reading your and Hec's recent reviews I had to go to Wendy's and see if their burgers had improved. I must report I am sorely disappointed. The beef is cut nice and thick but there is no flavor in the burger. It was a little juicy but towards the corners it was not so much. Salt and ketchup didn't help. The red onions were a nice touch but they could'a used more tomatoes.

        The fries were pretty good. All the other chains, except 5 Guys, could take a lesson from Wendy's. McD's fries are too thin and greasy, BK's fries are still that new formula from the `90's and the shiny newness has worn off. White Castle, well, once those things go cold don't bother re-heating them. They never taste as fries again. They taste like mush-cardboard.

        On the other hand Wendy's still makes some nice Chicken sandwiches. It could just be they haven't got their game on in NY and the suburbs. It very well could be in yours and Hec's locations they make a fine burger. I will not buy Wendy's burgers again tho.

              The longest threads seem to be about food.

                White Castle's fries sound like Nathan's Hot Dogs fries. They're good when you first get them,taste horrible when they get cold. I should say that happened at the stands they use to have in Caldor's when they were still around.
