Jeff Kay's gallery of Fast Food Ads vs. Reality:



Pictured above, Arby's Beef'n'Cheddar. And in today's Salon a pediatrician writes an open letter to George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Fat Kids":

....[E]very day I see overweight kids coming into my office. Getting families and kids to change how they eat is an uphill battle, and it doesn't get easier when big studios like yours wheel and deal with companies that peddle junk food and fast food.

[...]

Besides the fact that none of these foods is healthy, one has to ask if they're what your characters would eat. Would Lord Vader chug down a Pepsi before he wielded his light saber? (If he did, would he drink it with a straw or take off his entire mask?) Wouldn't Indy, now a senior citizen, have more than just a little bump in his cholesterol if he had scarfed down his namesake burger with fries and a soda? How could he be fit enough to chase down ancient relics while dodging boulders and outwitting Nazis?

Joana, a Louisiana McDonalds employee who has moved from store to store since Katrina, lays down the McRules. For instance:

3. If im on my break and eating in the lobby, dont ask me to fetch you BBQ sauce. just because im still in uniform does not mean im on the clock.

11. When i hand you your food and say "have a nice day!" you better respond with a smile, a "thanks, you too" or at least acknowledge my existence. its called being polite people.

12. Dont scream at me if i ask you to repeat your order. we're talking about cheeseburgers, not missiles. so calm down!

23. For the LOVE OF GOD, if you know you should, then cover your damn self up! just cause its drive-thru doesnt mean you shouldnt dress decent still.

35. If you ordered a burger without pickles and they somehow ended up there anyway, just pick them off because thats all im going to do when you bring it back to me to "fix it".

39. If you let go of your money before i grab it, or you drop it while i am handing it to you, dont look at me like you really expect me to get it for you. besides you're closer.

43. DONT TALK SHIT as you are leaving the first window. I still have another window i can catch you at. and trust me I WILL!

And in case you missed it, a century of global military conflict as told in fast food:
