It's best to be as vegetarian as one can possibly be because of the problems that meat consumption causes, it's not really about the environment or the suffering of animals, it's just not that clean.
Its true that eating meat isn't very healthy especially when its in the hands of giant corporations and especially a corporation like Popeye's. Its unnatural food and its not handled in a very sanitary fashion.
Sounds like you could catch salmonella from Popeye's just from their soft drinks (from the ice).
There's a good book "Fast Food Nation" back from the 1990's.
I actually knew people involved with that Wendy's robbery/murder in Mishawaka featured in the book, they were never the same.
@DUI
Fastfood Nation was a good read and gives a good history of McDonalds which every American should know because of how pervasive that restaurant is all of our lives.

If the younger readers here haven't read it yet you should, really anyone who eats fastfood should.
