I just ate a lump of hot plastic

I hardly ever do this. But today for lunch I actually ate...gasp...a Wendy's burger. Plus fries and a root beer. All-American lunch. I now know why I hardly ever do this.

I felt sick for the rest of the day. Before I even ordered I thought that I'd just indulge an infrequent guilty pleasure and smile about it. Impossible. You know you're making a mistake lunch-wise when you have to ask yourself, "does this taste good?" Yyyeeecchhh.

Americans, you've been had. Fast food burgers are disgusting. Put it down and walk away. Abandon the seductive pretense offered you by the tomato and pickles hiding reluctantly under the slice of American cheese (read, square slab of congealed orange oil) and just suck on a stick of butter instead. It's better for you anyway.
