"Okay, I'm gonna talk fast so your fries don't get cold," John told the class the moment he counted close to the usual number. "Today I've gotten a bunch of Happy Meals - hamburger, cheeseburger, and chicken nuggets, all with plenty of dipping sauces and fries. Have at. While you munch, I'm gonna show you all this great documentary about the fast food industry and how terrible their food is." He was kind of an ass for that one. "Then I want you to ask each other, do you still wanna eat it? Do you care what people say about fats and trans fats and caloric intake?"

He started passing out the moddable Happy Meals at random. "And no, there's no McDonald's in town. These puppies are fresh from a connection I have off-island. Have at and try not to pass out or glaze over during the movie. Talking is encouraged."
