fast fat food fried great people seem tastes
Most fast food is fried. Fried food tastes great, and people don't seem to care about the fat aspect.
interest people society ways
I try to persuade people to act in ways that are not only in their own interest, but in the interest of society at large.
children ground mainly people sort
I'm just angry at the sort of things that are winding up in ground beef. I'm angry that other people - mainly children - are going to be sickened by eating a hamburger.
people religious respect
By the way, I'm not a vegetarian. I have a lot of respect for people who are vegetarian for religious or ethical reasons.
buying expensive food found healthier less people preparing studies time
Studies have found that preparing your own food is usually healthier and less expensive than buying fast food. But most people just don't have the time.
basic defense favor food fruits human movement people picking stand stronger vegan vegetables
I'm all in favor of animal rights, but I'd like to see the food movement take a much stronger stand in defense of basic human rights. If you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you should care about the people who are picking your fruits and vegetables by hand.
few government people power realize recall
Very few people realize that the U.S. government does not have the power to order the recall of contaminated meat.
children people
I think it's important that people know what they are eating and especially to know what their children are eating.
food people providing
If you eat, you should be concerned about the people who are providing you with food.
writing thinking people
So for everything I do, I'm very clear about what I'm doing, and I tell people what it's about. They get a sense of what I'm thinking. I don't let people think I'm going to write something in praise in the meatpacking industry, and then they read it and it's actually attacking the meatpacking industry.
strong air people
The people designing the weapons literally often didn't know how they were being handled in the field by the Air Force - and a lot of people in the Air Force didn't understand some of the dangers. There's a very strong element of madness in this.
book people library
Basically, I'm a perpetual student. I start by finding a subject I really don't know very much, but that I'm curious about. I learn about it through books in a library, by doing interviews with people who know a lot about the subject, and by going out on my own and seeing for myself what's happening.
children people marketing
Fast food chains spend a large amount of marketing to get the attention of children. People form their eating habits as children so they try to nurture clients as youngsters.
people care taste
Most fast food is fried. Fried food tastes great, and people dont seem to care about the fat aspect.
