I went to McDonald tonight... delicious. NOT. How has our country become so satisfied with greasy byproducts being handed to us by sweaty, pierced teens with no experience in the hygiene department. Granted there are a few who are simply looking for a good day job, but for the majority it's quite depressing that education and aptitude aren't considered priorities anymore.
I don't even have to comment about the cleanliness of our table, but I must admit that the things we put into our mouths these days are nauseating. Granted, I haven't seen a Big Mac for about five years, which means that it was probably a gently sloping decline to the state it is in now, but that palm sized, deflated, lukewarm burger was not my idea of big a meal and it has definitely gone from being a bargain to at a well worth, if not overpriced, dollar.
I realize my veganism must have been growing fervently in my absence from the culinary world (outside my own kitchen)because the strawberry shake I had certainly tasted like more than one of the ingredients had been a powder at one time or another.
I think I've filled my rant quota for the time being. And on the note of healthy and delicious food, I'll just give a little shout out to a girl named Isa Moskowitz. She is a founder of the Post Punk Kitchen, authoress of Vegan with a Vengeance (a kick-butt cook book for angry vegans everywhere), and an all around awesome person. She makes you feel that, instead of being the nerdy, conservative one in the crowd, by being a vegan you have something to stick to the man. I felt like quite a rebel as I made mango spring rolls today. Eat that fast food America.
