Look at fast food restaurants, the generally accepted kings of shitty corporations that do nothing but harm in the world. Most chain burger joints now boast that they use angus beef or applewood smoked bacon. There's been a huge shift toward providing healthier options at these places. Arby's used to sell roast beef sandwiches only when I was growing up, now they are pretty much a full fledged deli. Last week they unveiled a new brisket sandwich that claims to use beef brisket that has been smoked for 13 hours or something.

McDonald's is facing pressure to start using real beef instead of the now infamous pink slime shit. They don't need a state to figure out that their business will begin to suffer if they don't make changes. This is the market in action.

Well, my point on the money. They boast. Then you go and buy one and it doesn't live up to the dream. But fuck it, it's all that salt and fat your body is salivating over.

Things get "better" much faster than they get better.
