If anyone has ever taken the time to look at the fat/cals intake from eating at these places you might understand where I'm coming from on this matter. I've also notice a correlation between the types of people that eat at fast food chains and don't exercise what so ever. I guess they are just lazy all the way around. Here's a link to a site where you check you local feed bag to see the amount of crap your eating. http://www.calorieking.com/foods/category.php?brand_id=1090&category_id=21&subcat_id=-1&partner= The simple fact that eating fast food will make you a fat ass, should be enough of a deterrent for anyone.

Best fast food ever! The workers make about $10/hour, the managers about $80k/year and the food is fantastic. I think they are owned by some religious freaks (judging by the bible quotes on the drink cups) but who cares the food rocks. In ‘n’ Out! Best fast food ever!

There's a lot of interesting info in that article that I hadn't realized before. I'm more impressed with the place because of it. Thanks for the motivation to look into it a little more.

The original Chipotle was based out of Denver and when he was approached by MCdonalds to Franchise it he structured the deal so he retained 51% control. The original deal also included caveats such as "No Chipotle will ever have a drive-thru window" The guy just used mcdonalds infrastructure but still has all the power. Personally, I liked Chipotle even more after hearing about all that. Pasketi–you are only partially correct about Mcdonalds and Chipotle.

’supersize me’ wasn’t a very realistic or accurate movie - and didn’t even give you the benefit of letting you think for yourself, or come to your own conclusions… it force fed you conclusions that were already preconceived, and predetermined.

You'll never eat at McDonald's again. Not that I ate there anyway. Chipotle is owned by McDonalds. The only fast food I regularly eat is Sonic. I have a weakness for Sonic Jalapeno Cheeseburgers.
