At least it has a lot of protein...
I will probably wind up doing a part 2 to this eventually. I wrot eit during my lunch one day and had to cram my research, so i missed about 2/3 of wikipedia's fast food restauraunt list. I will add that to the upcoming ones though, thank you :)

Great article, Vod. :)

I was surprised on how much Arby's is on that list. And that Hardee's Thickburger should just be illegal, or have a tax on it like cigarettes.

My challenge to you would be to show people what we can actually eat for lunch at fast food restaurants. It's such a part of the American lifestyle that learning to manage it right would be very helpful.

hey, Doc. I just wanted to let you know that i linked Murderland on my blog:
http://popcultureobservations.today.com/

if you have a more "official" amazon link to it, shoot the html over to me and I will post that instead.

I figured a little extra advertising was in order since you are so free with advice :)

Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/Murderland-Par...9190408&sr=1-1

I'm here for anybody who needs the help. It's a tough, thankless job and the light is pretty far at the end of the tunnel for writers, so everything and everyone I know I'll try and share.

Wow... Not to continually pimp the same thing, but this article has taken off... No on ehas really left any comments on it (except for my wife's friend who introduced me to AC saying congrats), but in the week and a half since it was posted, i have had 118 views.

to put it in perspective, my first two combined have only netted 78 views in almost a month.

Merry christmas to me. I feel cool. :)


My "clout" level has also gone up from this one article....


Hopefully i can capture the same success with the next one.
