The stores by and large don't sell real food anymore, and if they accidently do, it's tucked away in the produce aisles to the sides.

That is the way it has always been...at least since I have been alive.  Real food around the edges, processed crap in the middle.

So food is only real if unprocessed?

That is a colloquialism.  You know what I mean.

Then I think you need better grocery stores.

Why?  The ones I use are pretty great.

The system makes sense, as the bakery and deli sections have employees working there. If those sections were in the middle, they'd be in the way.

Because yours apparently only have real food on the periphery.

There's plenty of real food in the center, it's just in boxes and cans.

English, do you speak it?  I said it was a colloquialism, not meant to be taken literally.

So let me get this straight, you supported Legbiter's hyperbole with a statement from yourself that wasn't really supportive of the hyperbole. :hmm:

You got it completely wrong then.  I was not supporting Legbiter's hyperbole.  I was refuting his little thesis was evidence of anything since that is always how it has been.  And it just makes sense, you want the perishable stuff out on the edges not left to languish on a shelf in the middle of the store.

Well you were refuting that it has been a recent change but I didn't realize you were also refuting the entire statement. :D

In DG's defense, the BK Stacker is NOT that big of a sandwich.  I've heard people compare it to Wendy's Baconator, which is a much bigger sandwich. :sleep:
It's not, it is rather small, which is one of the reasons I like it.  I had those big Whopper-sized burgers were the bread comes apart in your hand, and which are too tall to bite comfortably.  In any case, while it's not a good food, I never order fries or soda with it, which I guess is the real shit when it comes to fast food.

btw I ate at Paula Deen's restaurant in the Harrah's Cherokee Casino the other week.  It actually wasn't that great... nobody I was with was that impressed with it.  Like I ordered a 'lowcountry sampler' and I was expecting a lowcountry boil, but all of the seafood was breaded and deep fried and there was fried cod in it. :wacko:  I believe Paula would be angry if she knew that's how they served it, since a lowcountry boil is a classic dish from Savannah and it's not even remotely prepared that way. :mellow:

Is that like Frogmore stew? 'Cause that's yummy, and deep-frying it would be wrong.
