and of course there are some egregious happenings with our food in "nice" restaurants as well. I just don't like to eat out anymore cause I KNOW what is in my food I prepare at home.
Yeah, well look -- you get what you pay for. To properly prepare fresh ingredients in a clean and wholesome environment would make no detectable difference to the taste of the product, but would raise the price so high, you'd go across to the street and pay less for the same pink slime you are used to.
I once ordered extra onions on my burger, and the counter guy yelled out "extra de-hy" -- dehydrated and re-constituted pieces of what were once onions in a different year on a different continent..
I'm sorry, but I'm still ordering Wendy's Chili, and nothing they write will make me do otherwise (note, not that what they write about the chili is of real cause for concern to me)
Im still going to buy movie theatre popcorn. I mean there is no choice and i wouldn't know how to replicate the flavors at home. Thought i could make a better hot dog at home, im still going to buy one at baseball games and put those onions that our curiously cranked out of a metal container.

But who doesn't know that on many fast food burgers they use dehydrated onions? That's only been since the start of fasfood.
well first of all; this report is based on what a few employees had to say, nothing more, nothing less: we all, if we use our brains know a lot of ingredients are microwaved, dehidrated or frozen. For heavens sake these are fast food restaurants. If they don't use time saving methods they wouldn't be "fast food"
I am not a huge eater of fast food, but an article like this would not make me more or less likely to use a fast food restaurant.
If I like something then I like it, telling me it is frozen or from previous day or had water added or whatever has zero impact on my opinion of something. Safety I could see being an issue I guess.
If someone goes to Dunkin Donuts and enjoys it enough to keep going back, what on earth does telling them baked goods arrive at the store frozen matter? Do they now taste worse with this new knowledge?
I'll still eat a DWD at a stadium, my favorite. I'll still eat movie theater popcorn. I have eaten the "fake" eggs because we serve them at Subway and I think they are pretty good, though not as good as home or the local diner. I will also continue to eat taco bell. As for the others mentioned have not eaten them in years.

This is the case in many a non-fast food restaurant as well.

Very true; to me though, most restaurants today border on being fast food. They may be a slightly upscale version and they may have actually wait people but they still serve food that has been prosessed and/or frozen. I think the only truely "made from scrap" restaurants are independently owned (mom and pop) or very upscale.
