vegan outreach.org is what horrified me on a similar level. Unfortunately I'm an ADDICT and I don't think I could give up fast food forever.
Corporate America is an evil, evil thing. And it's not just the fast food stuff, it's our clothing, electronics, furniture, appliances....everything we consume is cheaply made (usually outsourced) by some worker getting the shaft. The minimum wage won't even feed a family of 1, let alone 4. Health care is a business and is increidibly expensive. The very small precentage of rich people keep getting smaller and smaller and richer and richer; whereas the middle class is disappearing into a very large population of people living near, at, or even below the poverty line. Whoredoms abound and we have people like Lindsay Lohan going to kids shows wearing no panties and short skirts, it's pretty much commonplace -expected, even- to be promiscuous, pretty much everyone drinks alcohol -and binge drinking amongst young people is on the rise, methamphetamine addiction is being called a "national plague" because it's so common, meanwhile the country is divided politically between the right wing Christian Republicans and the Liberal left wing Democrats -nearly 50/50, and we have a president who'd rather dick around with our Millitary in the middle east rather than make things better for Americans.
