It ties it into Noam Chomsky and how the indigenous people on the commercials will most likely be forced to move to big cities when the fast food chains move in, and have to work for Burger King for a tenth of what American’s make.

Poisoning would be a too stronger word to use here but how about posting the videos with the impressions of the actual team on the food of those people. Comparing a hamburger with any dish that this people cook is hard to do, it's like drinking treated water bottled in a really nice box next to drinking it from your hands directly from a spring. There is no wonder that hamburger fans pay/would pay lots of money to eat a restaurant with traditional meals, that most of them don't even advertise themselves. Personally that's one of the things that makes me wanna go home at least once a week. I'm so glad Christmas is near :) . How does your burger taste now?! :D</p> Interesting to see my country in this ‘experiment’.

I mean come on, please do not get defensive FOR Burger King and McDonalds.

Defend your burger though, I love a good American burger as much as Japanese sushi, or Vietnamese soup, or Lebanese tea… Let’s not mix the concepts here.
