that's very true. i used to try to order ones that are medium rare, but NO ONE would do it due to the fact that if one gets sick eating one, they are liable for a lawsuit. :shakehead:

you can do it at In N Out (ask for med rare) and some Del Taco's will do it.

Yeah, maybe that was it, lawsuits. Damn lawyers! Where's my juicy steak!?

anyhoos, i dunno about "in and out" (the burger joint anyways :naughty: ), but as far as 5 guys, i was kinda disappointed at them. yes it's true that you can customize the burgers there and they do have A LOT of people who likes them. Me, I find them kinda plain and dry, better than McD however, I still prefer fuddruckers to 5 guys. BTW, i didn't know 5 guys is a east coast thing. i thought they were all over, but then again that's just dumb-a$$ me. :beaten:

I love Fuddruckers....which like In and Out never freezes their meat....it's always fresh...but Fuddruckers has the added bonus of baking their own buns, which always taste great fresh as well.....I actually ate there a little while back....it was the first time i ate there in years...

Fuddruckers also asks you how well you would like your meat cooked...but then again it's a restaurant not a fast food joint.

Coca-Cola banned at UK university as awareness of pesticide content spreads

(NewsTarget) The U.K. Students Against Coca-Cola group called for a nationwide student boycott of Coca-Cola in Britain Saturday, according to the Independent. The University of Sussex is the first to adopt the ban.
Other British campuses are expected to implement the ban soon. Students Against Coca-Cola has been pressuring the purchasing consortium that supplies Coca-Cola products to campuses to terminate its multimillion-dollar contracts with the company.

The University of Sussex banned all Coca-Cola products from its student union, citing objection to the soft drink giant's business practices, such as ignoring anti-union abuses of workers in its factories in Colombia and other South American countries. The protestors also expressed concerns over the health hazards presented by the high levels of pesticides in the sodas, which prompted several Indian states to ban Coca-Cola and its number one competitor, PepsiCo.

The bans in India were implemented when a Center for Science and Environment study found that the companies' sodas contained 24-times the accepted levels of pesticides. The student protesters also claim that the Coca-Cola's bottling plants have adversely affected local water tables and farmers' livelihoods.

The two major Indian business groups -- the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) -- disagree, and both entities have warned that a ban on Coca-Cola and PepsiCo products could end up hurting India's broader economy.

Coca-Cola has not yet responded to the boycott or the ban at the University of Sussex.

"The number of institutions banning Coca-Cola continues to increase," said Mike Adams, a consumer health advocate and author of a book on quitting soft drink addictions. "Awareness about the unscrupulous practices of the Coca-Cola company appears to be approaching a critical mass, and pro-business groups around the world are currently scrambling to contain the damage and spin the story in a way that maximizes Coca-Cola profits," he said.

Mmmm, pesticide!

Sodas are terribly unhealthy to consume. Never touch them myself.

^^ I'm trying (once more) to quit sodas, excess caffeine, smoking (like no cheat sticks or social smoking on saturday nights)

i wanna feel healthy again.
