“You go to any town, any city, any state in America and there's always a McDonald's. In a lot of places around the world, it's almost the same thing.

It makes me think that the beef we're eating isn't even close to being real. There can't even be enough cows in the whole world just to sustain the appetites of just Americans! I'll always remember that.”
