our ever changing fast food nation

Could Buger King be single handedly starting a fast food revolution? On Tuesday, the fast food giant known for its "manly" burgers announced that they would gradually begin buying eggs and pork from farmers that don't confine their animals to cages and crates. Animal rights activists and environmentalists alike are optimistic that this will result in major reform throughout the food industry, and could potentially put an end to factory farms.
This is a huge move for Burger King as the number two hamburger chain. This could put some serious pressure on other restaurants and fast food chains to follow suit, which could force farmers to use a more humane treatment of their livestock. This could mean big changes potentially, and a maybe start toward a (dare I say), socially conscious America.
