Yet Another Reason to Avoid Fast Food...

Diet Blog brings up a good point.  The people who serve your food are actually encouraged to work sick!  They have absolutely no incentive to stay home when they feel ill.  For the most part they don't even get health insurance let alone sick days!  Plus I hate to imagine their levels of health if they are eating their own products!  Could you live on a big mac and fries as your staple diet?

According to Diet Blog post, People Who Handle Your Food Work Sick and a recent Survey of workers,

In the report, a lady working in the food service for 30 years talks about being really sick one day. She had a bad cold with all the trimmings: runny nose, sneezing, cough, and a fever. But she couldn't call out, she needed the money.
 
This just reafirms a conversation I recently had with a buddy of mine.  He worked through college in the restaurant business.  He told me the movie Waiting a comedy staring Ryan Rynalds about waiters in a local restaurant, isn't a far cry from the truth.  He said just about everything he saw in the movie he saw at one point working in the restaurant business!  Scarey thought!  But funny movie :)
