heres why, if you want to live in america you almost have to have either a spouse or roommate, and everything is so expensive that you work longer to stay afloat, and places like the above mentioned make for an easier meal than coming home after 12 hours and trying to cook a meal. throw kids into the mix and you almost need a nanny. but what are you going to pay her with? the convience of fast food is a way of life for alot of folks. stake out a mcdonalds during evening rush hour.. its a joke. people always say americans are lazy, but i think its actually because americans work more hours per day that makes them stop by wendys on the way home, eat dinner and go right to bed to start over again tomorrow. eating crap and then going right to bed makes for an unhealthy fat population. i work for the company that distributes the food to wendys, and you would be AMAZED how much food they go through.

some of those ditches on Battlefeild Blvd and Caratoke hwy are pretty deep...
i used to work at the "over the horizon" radar station near there.... we have ground-based radar that can look down into south america from the great dismal swamp... pretty cool huh?
one of the antennaes was so unusual and big that we called it the "dinosaur cage" cuz that's exactly what it looks like...

add to that the fact that Americans drink soda instead of water...
i took a can of soda, read the ingredients, and actually weighed out the amount of sugar for my kids to see...
try it sometime... you'll be shocked...
they still biotch cuz i won't keep the fridge stocked with 'em...
oh i know !! at my job we have soda BIB's (bag in box) that the fountain drink machines use, it is literally 5 gallons of coke syrup and they dilute it with some water. when we break them, its a sticky disaster. (picture mopping up 5 gallons of corn syrup) companies like coke, pepsi, frito-lay will never be out of business in america thats for sure. have you seen how many soda vending machines are in junior and high schools?
