Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I hope everyone was able to catch the 60 Minutes segment. Other than the fact that I got a stomach ache by just watching, it was well done. It painted the fast food industry in an awful light. Eric Schlosser made several compelling points about the health problems caused by fast food. He also clearly explained their brainwashing methods. I hope the piece makes parents think twice about taking their kids back to the grease pits. McDonald's, Burger King and the others refused to comment. The VP of a restaurant association (can't recall the name - the NRA for the restaurant industry) agreed to speak. His arguments were laughable! I would venture to bet that other news organizations will follow with similar segments. -Rose --- sunny outdoors <sunny_outdoors wrote: > lst show will be on foreign dependency on oil > > 2nd show is on Fast Food Nations > > 3rd show is Asar Arafat (sp) > > ch 5 7pm > > -- > VegFair was fun, I saw so so many vegetarian kids > with > their vegetarian families.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I did watch this 60 minute segment on the fast food industry and the health consequences, especially for the next generation of kids who eat this " food " . It is ironic that this aired one day after Bay Area Veg Fair. I was proud that we collectively, the speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, coordinators and participants helped make Veg Fair a success and showed our commitment to countering this fast food trend, and demonstrating better ways to treat ourselves, the planet and its inhabitants through our food choices.
