Have you read 'Fast Food Nation'? Forget who it's by, but that's an eye opener if ever there was one! Made me seriously anti-capitalist, quite apart from anything else, and I've never given a thought to the danger of monopolies before. Also outlined the sinister relationship between MacDonalds and Disney, two organisations I have grave misgivings about! Never liked MacDonalds cos it always used to be v beef orientated (I know they're trying to change that now) and Disney stuff always scared me!

I might have to go and see that 'Supersize Me' film, too - thing is all this is preaching to the converted to some extent as I never ate in MacDonalds anyway. It's trying to convince scutters that go there every weekend and think it's a treat for the kids that's the problem... I've even spoken to people who've read 'Fast Food Nation' and said 'Yeah, but MacDonalds is really nice!' No hope, really...
