Fast food can be convenient and so long as you eat it within half an hour of buying it can be pretty delicious.

But can fast food companies really be trusted?

The idea that a major corporation has some dubious practices may not come as a huge surprise,

but I doubt you're aware of all the ways fast food restaurants are scamming you.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening to be amazed. Chipotle is best known for being beloved by all, and also giving a bunch of people food-borne illnesses and was sued for $25 million in 2016.

Three people claimed that they were basically tricked by the restaurant's calorie information and the menu item in question was the chorizo burrito.

On a sign advertisement on their menu, it shows the chorizo burrito. On a sign advertisement on their menu,

it shows a chorizo burrito with plain text underneath written 300 calories.

It would seem as though Chipotle is claiming that the whole food item is only 300 calories.

The plaintiffs thought that was what the sign meant,

probably because there's a big 300 next to a big picture of the burrito.

However, in reality, only the chorizo, aka the meat part, is 300 calories.

And once you add all the other parts of the burrito, the whole thing is a thousand calories.

In the end, Chipotle agreed not to advertise the burrito

as having fewer calories than they have and was forced to pay each of the named plaintiffs $5,000.

Obviously, this is pretty deliberately misleading, so you better watch out if you're trying to count

calories. Also, in 2016, KFC received an F-grade from the NRDC for

its overuse of antibiotics and its chicken. Overfeeding antibiotics to animals that are not sick to

speed up growth and help animals survive crowded and unsanitary conditions contributes to the

growing epidemic of drug-resistant infections in humans.

Since then, in 2017, they received a B-minus after making various changes.

But do you really want to eat B-minus chicken? Other chains don't fare much better.
