:38:03
Case in point -- McNuggets.
:38:06
Originally created
from old chickens

:38:08
that could no longer lay eggs,
:38:09
McNuggets are now
made from chickens

:38:11
with unusually large breasts.
:38:13
They're stripped from the bone
:38:15
and ground up
into a sort of chicken mash,

:38:16
which is then combined
:38:18
with all sorts of stabilizers
and preservatives,

:38:20
pressed into familiar shapes,
:38:21
breaded, deep-fried,
freeze-dried,

:38:23
and then shipped
to a McDonald's near you.

:38:26
Judge Robert Sweet called them
:38:27
"A McFrankenstein creation
of various elements

:38:30
not utilized by the home cook."
:38:40
So, for the past couple days,
:38:42
which I haven't
shared with everybody --

:38:44
it's been a new thing --
:38:45
I’ve started to have --
not chest pains, but pressure.

:38:49
I feel like I got pressure
on my chest.

:38:52
I figure that's probably
not a good thing.

:38:55
But neither's
eating all this, so...

:39:03
I tell you.
I haven't smelled bad yet.

:39:05
Yeah, you have.
:39:06
No, I haven't.
:39:07
You just don't smell
how bad you smell.

:39:09
Look at that fish filet.
:39:13
Look at this thing.
:39:14
Oh, God,
that looks nasty, man.

:39:16
Isn't that horrible?
:39:17
Obviously, that's been
sitting around all day.

:39:20
That, the filet-o-fish.
:39:25
Shit!
:39:27
WOMAN:
How can I help you?

:39:28
Can I get the double quarter
pounder with cheese value meal?

:39:32
- Okay, thank you.
- $4.86.

:39:37
I don't feel good today.
:39:39
Not that I feel sick,
:39:40
but I just feel
really depressed,

:39:42
you know, for no reason.
I mean, things are going great.

:39:45
I’ve had a good day.
:39:47
I just feel really...
:39:49
yeah.
:39:51
It's not real hard
eating this food all the time,

:39:53
just because it tastes good,
it makes you feel good.

:39:56
I really noticed I'll eat some,
:39:58
and just a little while later,
I'll be hungry again,
