I don't like McDonalds fries that much because they're mostly not crisp enough. I don't know what they do different from Burger King, but their fries tend to be way too soft and mushy 75% of the time. Burger King on the other hand has always served me excellent fries.

Those are the two world-wide hamburger chains I have experience of. What's good about Wendy's fries, and where can I get them?

I've heard from most people I know that Wendy's has terrible fries.  They tend to be crispier, though, so maybe you'd like them.

I think Wendy's is mostly in North America, Arta was telling me there's a few in England but they aren't very good.  A&W also makes great fries, and onion rings, but they are also North American only

I like burritos. I like the frozen burritos that you heat up in your microwave. I also like jack in the box tacos. They're so fried, and good.

And now that I think about it, McDonalds would have the best fries if they were crispier.

You've never had 'fries' till you've had big chunky ones from a fish and chip shop. *dribbles*

For lunch I'm eating chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and broccoli.  Who says genetic engineering is wrong?

Genetic engineering isn't wrong, but it's a technology that I don't think we're ready to handle properly. When you manipulate genes, you're creating things that may affect earth for a long time, yet those who make the decisions only think about how much profit they can show this year.

Like breeding chickens with broccoli and cheese built in?

That doesn't concern me so much. Something that makes me concerned is injecting genes for resistance to or for producing poisons and antibiotics into things. We don't know, cannot know, what that will lead to, and it might lead to rather bad things.

Maybe the broccoli and cheese came from selective breeding.  The kept breeding the two chickens with the highest level of broccoli and cheese until their offspring were filled with them.

Yes, that's ok because it will happen slow enough that they will notice any bad effects starting to show up.

I get the impression that we are having completely different conversations

Well, as you probably know, broccoli enhances iron absorption. Now, if you breed this into chickens slowly, you'd notice if they start eating iron before it goes out of hand. If on the other hand, you add it by gene manipulation, you might be creating a monster, a chicken that eats out of anything iron.

Just think about the world we would have when chickens can no longer be contained with steel (remember, steel is refined iron).

To prevent lead poisoning in nature, there's been a shift in bullets from consisting mainly of lead to being made of steel. Of course, a steel absorbing chicken would then be completely impervious to bullets. You would be creating a race of superior chickens, that would move on to take over the world.

And all this because of something you like to eat? Is it really worth that? WELL?!

Yes, it would be totally worth it.  "Eat them up yum!"

So cage them in plastic... Chickens aren't super strong you know.

As for the wendy's fries, they are about 3x the size of burger king fries, and have perfect texture to them. I also have never had those little 1/2 inch fries left at the bottom of the container at wendy's.

I like the McChicken from mcdonalds and the crispy chicken from burger king, they tend to have more taste than regular burgers. Harvey's burgers are the all time best though, juicy and with only ingredients you want.

This makes me think of the movie "Falling Down", how he points at the hamburger picture on the wall, and it's not at all like the hamburger he got...

He also walks around with a gun through a large part of the movie, but as far as I can remember, he never shoots anyone with it. He wants to do the right thing, but the world is crazy around him, and eventually he gets killed because he had a gun. Well, a water gun.

On CSI last week somebody was attacked on the street and pulled a gun.  The criminal managed to wrestle it away from him and shoot the gun's owner.
