Are you folks aware that Burger King is responsible for a lot of Amazonian rainforest destruction, chopping down the forest to raise the beef for your burgers? Frankly, I'd rather have the oxygen.
Really, is there real evidence that Burger King is running rampant with bulldozers in Brazil's rain forests so they can raise more beef to sell to American consumers?

I have to admit, in case you didn't already know [

Yep Obie, you hit the nail on the head!
Hawaiian deforestation was historically for the production of beef. Now it is for pesky Coqui eradication, beautiful McMansions and more good ole mainland USA commerce.
Too bad we didn't all move here to get away from that stuff!

Personally I don't eat at BK or any other fast food restaurant but supply and demand is king. I have often observed the lines and crowds at McDonald's in Keauu and Hilo and wished I owned one of them... license to print money. I like locally produced grass fed beef too... and fish... YUM!

When I was a teenager I worked in a meat packing plant...
I had already read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle in High school...
I saw many paralels to the book although it was not as bad, as Sinclair painted it in the book, it was pretty sickening.
Cow's hoofs, tails, guts all going into the hamburger grinder.
I don't eat beef today but if I did...It certainly wouldn't be Hamburger.

I heard though the wireless Burger King was so busy yesterday they ran out of beef patties about noon.

wow, wait till mc D's hears about this! They will be in line to build one out there next.
RE: Burger King - Kelena - 11-26-2010
That's terrible! Well, what they need to do is e-mail an order for three times that many beef patties into headquarters. Then, illegal immigrants can slaughter some more cows in a fetid feedlot flush with fecal matter. Those cows can then be processed by people who don't wash their hands in the employee bathroom as required. Eventually, this product can be put on a truck to the West Coast and then loaded in shipping containers, where it will begin its days long ocean journey. Eventually it will be unloaded by some mokes at Kawaihae, where it can begin its final taste-tantalizing journey to Pahoa! Yum!
