The f rating is due to not having a corporate policy in place to not use beef raised with antibiotics, nothing else.
How did Publix rate?

Unless you can afford grass-fed beef (any meat really)...then this will be a factor. I'd venture to say that ALL restaurants would fall under the OP's post. Our culture, today, is harder and harder to find actual "organic" foods like our ancestors ate. "IF" you can find it, it will be more expensive and less plentiful.

Given the choice between eating critters who were dosed with antibiotics versus those full of harmful bacteria, I shall interpret the "F" to mean "FINE". I might add that I belong to PETA, People Eating Tasty Animals and believe that vegan flatulence accounts for 80% of global warming.

Exceedingly well-turned.

Is anyone that eats in any of these places really concerned with the quality of the beef?

Is there anyone that knows that the food served in these types of restaurants is not healthy?

I admit I very occasionally will eat at Burger King, but I understand the risks and I think that everyone that eats there understands.

Cake, pie, bread, cookies and beer are not good for you either. But people consume them.

It's all about balance.

If it taste good, eat it. All the sh-- I ate over the years and I am still going strong. I have seen some pathetic looking "healthy eaters" who look like they could use a good meal. or a not-so-good meal. You are making me hungry. Any White Castle hamburger places around. I could go for 10 or 15 belly bombs right now.

I would be more worried about what the fast food worker does to the food they are sticking out the drive thru window.

There's also a story out today that all table salt has traces of plastics in it.

Considering our ages, most of us probably over 65 or 70 here in the Villages, how many years, months, or minutes do you expect to gain by eating well?

I think some people worry about anything & everything, and that can sure put a damper on life!

Just in case anyone cares, here is the story.
