This just made me hungry for a burger


It really did.

I didn't think it told me anything I didn't know.

Is there exploitation in the work place? Yes.

Does the West and Industrial nations exploit the Developing countries? Yes.

Does Big Business take advantage of a system in order to keep an economy running and make money? Yes.

This is the real world and it's ugly, it's nasty, it's disgusting and nobody can do anything about it because we are a product of it. If you want to change it - we all die.

That's the reality not mentioned in the film. We're so deep in it that we can't get out!

I'm pretty sure the real Joey Tribbiani would be a little less cynical.

He speaks German like a German and Greek like a Greek.

if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life - remind me to kill myself

I'm pretty sure if everyone stopped buying the processed meat that are served in beef patties and Big Macs etc and demanded Organic, then the big corporations would change the way they operate.

This may be unrealistic, but not entirely impossible as you seem to think

We can always get out.

People will alweays have the power.

Get enough people together and you can change things.

The "kill floor" scenes at the end actually ruined my appetite for my steak fajitas. I'm sure I'll forget about it by tomorrow, though.

Conform or be cast out
