The nation’s abuzz about fast food, Vancouver-style.
“Nightline” ran a glowing profile of the Vancouver restaurant chain as the flip side to “Fast Food Nation,” a film that opened Friday.
The movie is based on Eric Schlosser’s best-seller, which criticizes the fast-food industry’s labor practices and environmental impact, as well as its food: It comes from factories, not farms, he says.
But Schlosser loves Burgerville’s burgers and fries. He discovered them when he ate at a Burgerville the night before a 2005 speech in Portland.
“I’m not a paid spokesman for Burgerville,” Schlosser told ABC’s Terry Moran. “I just like to see companies that do things the right way.”

In addition to spotlighting its food, ABC reported how Burgerville supports wind power, offers health care benefits and uses waste cooking oil for biodiesel fuel.
Good for them. Via Extra MSG.
