Memo to my brother

Jim, I regret to inform you that I cannot accompany you on any T-Bell or McD's runs in the future.

I read Fast Food Nation while sniffling on the couch last weekend, and it was more than enough to convince me that I don't want my money supporting fast food companies. I won't go so far as to claim they're entirely and irredeemably evil -- I have to admit I really LIKE Quarter Pounders -- but I will say that the industry has done a lot of damage to workers' rights, local agriculture, and food safety standards.

But I'll promise you this: move to LA, and we'll go to In N Out when I visit. My treat.
