I never worried about eating at fast food places until my friends brought up different times/places that they had eaten at and gotten food poisoning as a result. Each place they say is basically X'ed off my list of places I will go to now; however, in reality, is any fast food place that safe as far as food born illnesses? I don't eat out often but worry each time I do because I recall all of the stories I have heard about how miserable the results of such an illness can be.
