Will you miss me when I burn

I am gonna miss HereIType when she leaves NYC forever. Here is part of her review of Supersize Me:

Everyone I was with complained that there wasn't enough Animal Rights, and striking workers brought up during the film. I was suspicious, so I asked them where they had heard this criticism. I realize that it's rude to assume that your friends can't criticize something on their own, but it seemed like such an asinine complaint. I mean, they also didn't bring up the overwhelmingly (I'm totally making this up) male board of trustees at McDonalds, or the fact that McDonalds is going in to developing democracies and trying to free market their way to a lot of loose laws. And then in the lamest of arguments, I'm not naming any names said that Americans were fat because they take food from other people. Whatever, dude, there's no shortage of food in the world. That's pretty fucking widely understood.
It's like we have conjoined brains sometimes.

Actually, I think that McDonald's biggest mistake was getting rid of the old style apple pie and switching to this newfangled baked thing.

I have to agree. That deep fried thing was as close to heaven as you can get. In a fast food restaurant, anyhow.

I loved the movie.
