[Morgan Spurlock]
Good morning.

00:00:48,265 --> 00:00:49,962
[TV host]
Well, you know his name,
you know his face,

5
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,226
the director, producer,
actor, and writer

6
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:55,142

Best Documentary,
"Super Size Me."

00:00:55,229 --> 00:00:58,406
Is there any props or anything
I need to know about?
Is it just you?

8
00:00:58,493 --> 00:00:59,755
Just me.

Camera one, medium shot.

10
00:01:01,757 --> 00:01:03,106
-He's joining us live
this morning.
-Good morning.

11
00:01:03,193 --> 00:01:05,239
Good Morning.
Thanks for being here.

12
00:01:05,326 --> 00:01:06,936
[woman]
Well, there is a new restaurant
to cluck about.

13
00:01:07,023 --> 00:01:08,807
It's going to be
a chicken restaurant.

14
00:01:08,894 --> 00:01:11,332
Brought to Central Ohio
by Morgan Spurlock.

15
00:01:11,419 --> 00:01:14,161
The star of the documentary
"Super Size Me."

16
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:16,467
Now he's opening
his own restaurant,
right here in Central Ohio.

17
00:01:16,554 --> 00:01:21,255
With new paint outside
and brown paper covering
whatever is going on inside.

18
00:01:21,342 --> 00:01:25,911
Is it possible that we are all
subject to one giant prank?

19
00:01:25,998 --> 00:01:27,261
-You open tomorrow?
-We open tomorrow,

20
00:01:27,348 --> 00:01:28,740
11 a.m. grand opening.

21
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:37,488
[cheers and applause]

22
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:40,839
[Morgan]
Now, I know what
you're thinking.

23
00:01:40,926 --> 00:01:44,060
How did a guy like me get
into a business like this?

24
00:01:45,757 --> 00:01:49,718
Well, it all started when I
received a very special email.

25
00:01:49,805 --> 00:01:52,808
"Hello, I'm reaching out
from 72andSunny,

26
00:01:52,895 --> 00:01:55,854
the advertising agency
for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's.

27
00:01:55,941 --> 00:01:58,814
We're exploring a concept for
a script with Morgan Spurlock.

28
00:01:58,901 --> 00:02:02,861
He comes in one of our
restaurants to expose us
as a bad fast-food brand,

29
00:02:02,948 --> 00:02:06,474
then he discovers
that we're actually doing
a lot of great things;

30
00:02:06,561 --> 00:02:07,779
all-natural meat,

31
00:02:07,866 --> 00:02:09,346
made-from-scratch biscuits,

32
00:02:09,433 --> 00:02:10,782
hand-breaded chicken.

33
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:13,307
So we're actually
doing good for fast food.

34
00:02:13,394 --> 00:02:15,352
We'd love to know
your thoughts."

35
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:17,049
My thoughts are...

36
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:18,877
you gotta be fucking kidding me.

37
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:23,882
But it made me wonder,
have things really changed?

38
00:02:23,969 --> 00:02:25,449
Welcome to Burger King.

39
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:27,016
[man] The new garden-fresh
salads and wraps.

40
00:02:27,103 --> 00:02:28,713
[woman] Wendy's new
black bean burger.

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,280
[Morgan] Are things actually
getting better?

42
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:31,934
Has fast food gotten healthier?

43
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:33,805
-Absolutely.
-I think so.

44
00:02:33,892 --> 00:02:35,720
-I would say yes.
-It's better for you
and delicious.

45
00:02:35,807 --> 00:02:37,809
They wouldn't believe
it's Taco Bell.

46
00:02:37,896 --> 00:02:40,421
[Morgan]
With 44% Americans eating
fast-food at least once a week,

47
00:02:40,508 --> 00:02:42,814
better would actually
be pretty great.

48
00:02:42,901 --> 00:02:44,251
We got some new salads
on the menu.

49
00:02:44,338 --> 00:02:45,861
Dressing on the side.

50
00:02:45,948 --> 00:02:48,603
Dressing on the side,
that's not a problem.

51
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:52,128
[Morgan] At the same time, it's
not like Big Macs and Whoppers
are suddenly off the menu.

52
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:54,696
-Meechie, you want a Whopper?
-[announcer] Yeah, he wants one.

53
00:02:54,783 --> 00:02:57,438
[Morgan] But look...
now they have kale.

54
00:02:57,525 --> 00:02:59,309
McDonald's to call on kale.

55
00:02:59,396 --> 00:03:00,658
[man] They said
they're getting kale.

56
00:03:00,745 --> 00:03:01,746
-McDonald's?
-Oh, yeah.

57
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:03,052
[laughing]

58
00:03:03,139 --> 00:03:04,967
The nation's obesity epidemic...

59
00:03:05,054 --> 00:03:07,317
[reporter]
The country's biggest
health threat.

60
00:03:07,404 --> 00:03:11,103
A new study finds
2/3 of Americans
are overweight or obese.

61
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,541
[Morgan] So if we're
not getting any healthier,

62
00:03:13,628 --> 00:03:15,673
has fast-food truly
turned a corner?

63
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,675
So much that they think
a guy like me...

64
00:03:17,762 --> 00:03:20,591
[high pitched voice]
You'll not talk to anybody.

65
00:03:20,678 --> 00:03:24,073
...could actually
be a spokesperson
for a company like this?

66
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,296
[announcer] The most American
Thick Burger, only at Carl's Jr.

67
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:31,559
[Morgan] No, something's
definitely not adding up.

68
00:03:31,646 --> 00:03:32,951
Mmm.

69
00:03:33,038 --> 00:03:34,866
[Morgan]
To get to the bottom of it...

70
00:03:34,953 --> 00:03:36,564
-Would you like
to supersize it tonight?
-Oh, yes I would.

71
00:03:36,651 --> 00:03:38,957
...I could go back
on an all-fast-food diet.

72
00:03:39,044 --> 00:03:40,089
[retches]

73
00:03:40,176 --> 00:03:42,047
Oh, give me a minute.

74
00:03:42,134 --> 00:03:44,485
But something tells me this
calls for a different approach.

75
00:03:44,572 --> 00:03:47,662
[multiple voices]
Better... New... Fresh...

76
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:51,056
[Morgan] You see,
my dad always told me

77
00:03:51,143 --> 00:03:53,233
if something seems
too good to be true...

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,017
it probably is.

79
00:03:55,104 --> 00:03:57,062
Now, if I've learned anything
out of making a career

80
00:03:57,149 --> 00:03:58,977
out of questionable
life choices it's that

81
00:03:59,064 --> 00:04:02,546
sometimes the only way to find
the truth and solve a problem

82
00:04:02,633 --> 00:04:05,201
is to become a part
of that problem.

83
00:04:09,031 --> 00:04:11,729
[chickens cackling]

84
00:04:15,124 --> 00:04:16,299
[elevator ring]

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,521
-Hey, man.
-Morgan, [laughing] how are you?

86
00:04:20,608 --> 00:04:23,350
-How are you?
-Great to see you,
looking great.

87
00:04:23,437 --> 00:04:26,831
-So, um, I had an idea.
-Yes? Awesome.

88
00:04:26,918 --> 00:04:31,140
And I thought if anybody
could kind of help me explore
and figure out it would be you.

89
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:34,665
-OK. Right.
-'Cause you've had experience
in the fast-food industry.

90
00:04:34,752 --> 00:04:37,233
So, um...

91
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,931
-I want to start...
-Mm-hmm.

92
00:04:40,018 --> 00:04:42,064

to give me some advice.

fast-food restaurant.

-[laughs]
-Yeah.

97
00:04:58,254 --> 00:04:59,342
Is that a fact?

98
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:02,519
Wait, say that again.

99
00:05:02,606 --> 00:05:04,260
I want to open
a fast-food restaurant.

100
00:05:04,347 --> 00:05:06,175
-You do?
-Yes.

101
00:05:06,262 --> 00:05:08,699
So, do you think it's a,
do you think I'd have a shot?

102
00:05:08,786 --> 00:05:11,223
I don't know if you can be able
to season the food right
'cause you're not a chef.

103
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:14,009
But I would make it a given,
based on your integrity,

104
00:05:14,096 --> 00:05:16,359
that the quality of the food
is gonna be spot on.

105
00:05:16,446 --> 00:05:18,187
You know, having done
"Super Size Me,"

106
00:05:18,274 --> 00:05:19,754
I think authenticity
is everything.

107
00:05:19,841 --> 00:05:21,495
And I think
honesty is everything.

108
00:05:21,582 --> 00:05:22,713
-OK.
-Does that make sense to you?

109
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,367
Yes. Yes.

110
00:05:24,454 --> 00:05:26,456
Tell me what kind of food
you think it would be.

111
00:05:26,543 --> 00:05:27,718
Um...

112
00:05:27,805 --> 00:05:30,373
-Pizza, salad.
-Um...

113
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:32,767
Vegetables, grain bowls,

114
00:05:32,854 --> 00:05:35,335
Mediterranean.
What do you want to do?

115
00:05:35,422 --> 00:05:36,727
What is it gonna be?

116
00:05:36,814 --> 00:05:38,903
-It better be good.
-[laughs]

117
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:41,428
-[Morgan] Hey, I know
it won't be easy.
-You're crazy.

118
00:05:41,515 --> 00:05:43,908
But it's not like
Little Caesars
was built in a day.

119
00:05:43,995 --> 00:05:46,433
-[announcer] Pizza! Pizza!
-And these guys do have a point.

120
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,914
Customers will
come to my restaurant
with certain expectations.

121
00:05:50,001 --> 00:05:53,222
Expectations like honesty
and integrity.

122
00:05:53,309 --> 00:05:56,530
So in today's world, what does
integrity even taste like?

123
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:01,143
-Does it taste like a burger?
-[announcer] The Baconator.

124
00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:04,755
After all, with the rise
of Shake Shack, Smash Burger,
and Five Guys,

125
00:06:04,842 --> 00:06:07,149
burgers are
a pretty good business.

126
00:06:07,236 --> 00:06:10,805
But at the same time,
no one's claiming burgers
are suddenly good for you.

127
00:06:11,893 --> 00:06:13,547
So what is healthier?

128
00:06:13,634 --> 00:06:15,592
What's different?

129
00:06:15,679 --> 00:06:18,073
What's a blank canvas?

130
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,162
Something familiar
but unassuming.

131
00:06:20,249 --> 00:06:23,644
Something common but still
packed with delicious potential.

132
00:06:24,949 --> 00:06:26,951
Something like...

133
00:06:27,038 --> 00:06:28,431

[rooster crows]

136
00:06:31,826 --> 00:06:33,567
Right now, at any given time,

137
00:06:33,654 --> 00:06:36,526
there's over 20 billion chickens
clucking around the globe.

138
00:06:36,613 --> 00:06:39,224
That's more than three chickens
to every human on Earth,

139
00:06:39,311 --> 00:06:42,184
making it the most
farmed animal on the planet.

140
00:06:42,271 --> 00:06:44,316
Wendy's, McDonald's,
and Chick-fil-A

141
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:48,495
all go through
1.4 billion pounds of chicken
per year alone.

142
00:06:48,582 --> 00:06:51,411
That's 3.7 million pounds
per day

143
00:06:51,498 --> 00:06:54,588
and 43 pounds of chicken
per second.

144
00:06:54,675 --> 00:06:57,286
But most importantly,
chicken is a lean meat.

145
00:06:57,373 --> 00:06:59,767
It's accessible, affordable,

146
00:06:59,854 --> 00:07:03,161
and if any fast food could
be considered healthy,

147
00:07:03,248 --> 00:07:04,598
it has to be chicken.

148
00:07:05,207 --> 00:07:07,165
Mm-hmm.

149
00:07:07,252 --> 00:07:08,602
Chicken's a wonderful product.

150
00:07:08,689 --> 00:07:10,212
It's not a bad idea.

151
00:07:10,299 --> 00:07:11,561
It's gonna be healthier.

152
00:07:11,648 --> 00:07:13,345
-It's an inexpensive food.
-Yeah.

153
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,086
Matter of fact, we are more
likely to eat chicken

154
00:07:15,173 --> 00:07:17,045
than we are to eat beef,
a beef-based product.

a couple of years ago

156

in--in--in its importance
to our diet.

157
00:07:21,136 --> 00:07:22,833
How many people
are doing better chicken?

158
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,183
I feel like I haven't seen--
I've seen better burgers,

159
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:26,881
but I haven't seen a lot
of better chicken.

-As a sandwich.
-As a sandwich.

-Sandwiches.
-Sandwiches.

00:07:44,855 --> 00:07:46,814
That's--we love--

168
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:49,686
the number one food
eaten in this country
is a sandwich.

169
00:07:49,773 --> 00:07:52,341
-Not chicken on a bone?
-No, no, no. It's inconvenient.

170
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:53,864
-Messy.
-Exactly.

171
00:07:53,951 --> 00:07:55,387
And what's the beauty
of a sandwich?

172
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,651
Yeah. I can drive and eat it.

173
00:07:57,738 --> 00:07:59,522
-It's very portable.
-Right.

174
00:07:59,609 --> 00:08:00,784
We like sandwiches.

175
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:02,743
-Yeah.
-[laughs]

176
00:08:02,830 --> 00:08:04,658
So, what advice
would you give me now,

177
00:08:04,745 --> 00:08:08,226
as I'm going down the path of
starting my own restaurant?

178
00:08:08,313 --> 00:08:10,098
My advice to you would be,

179
00:08:10,185 --> 00:08:12,230
you can't just have the same
sandwich everybody else has.

180
00:08:12,317 --> 00:08:14,058
-Right.
-You have to give me...

181
00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:16,017
some reason why
this one is different.

182
00:08:16,104 --> 00:08:17,366
Yeah.

183
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:20,325
[Morgan] Harry's right.

184
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:22,327
-For every successful Big Mac...
-[all] Big Mac.

185
00:08:22,414 --> 00:08:25,505
...there's been an equally
unsuccessful Bell Beefer,

186
00:08:25,592 --> 00:08:27,811
The short-lived
Wendy's Frescata,

187
00:08:27,898 --> 00:08:29,378
And, of course...

188
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,075
McPizza.

189
00:08:31,162 --> 00:08:32,903
[announcer]
McDonald's Pizza.

190
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:33,991
[Morgan]
So how does a highly
competitive industry

191
00:08:34,078 --> 00:08:35,558
design the perfect sandwich?

192
00:08:35,645 --> 00:08:37,560
You know, a sandwich
isn't just a sandwich.

193
00:08:37,647 --> 00:08:39,910
Everyone has--there's
so many choices out there.

194
00:08:39,997 --> 00:08:41,608
So why should someone pick you?

195
00:08:41,695 --> 00:08:43,218
[Morgan]
There are consultants...

196
00:08:43,305 --> 00:08:44,959
[Darby]
What makes you amazing?

197
00:08:45,046 --> 00:08:46,264
[Morgan] Strategists...

198
00:08:46,351 --> 00:08:48,005
Is it the product?
Is it the place?

199
00:08:48,092 --> 00:08:49,703
Is it the way that it's ordered?

200
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:51,008
Food is an experience.

201
00:08:51,095 --> 00:08:52,444
If you could pick
at least three.

202
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:53,620
I think it's real.

203
00:08:53,707 --> 00:08:55,186
Fun. Trendsetting.

204
00:08:55,273 --> 00:08:56,840
But I think it's provocative.

205
00:08:56,927 --> 00:08:58,581
It's exciting, but it's
gonna be a big task.

206
00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:01,192
-I mean, it's
fiercely competitive.
-Yeah.

207
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:02,716
[Morgan] But most importantly,

208
00:09:02,803 --> 00:09:04,935
there are companies
like CCD Innovation.

209
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:06,589
[man on intercom]
CCD Innovation.

210
00:09:06,676 --> 00:09:08,156
-Hey, it's Morgan Spurlock.
-[buzzer ring]

211
00:09:08,243 --> 00:09:09,766
-I'm Christine
-Great to see you.

212
00:09:09,853 --> 00:09:11,942
-Pleasure to meet you.
-Kimberly. Welcome.

213
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:14,205
OK, let's come this way.

214
00:09:14,292 --> 00:09:16,686
CCD Innovations
has teams of chefs

215
00:09:16,773 --> 00:09:19,994
dedicated to creating
some of the industry's
most successful menu items.

216
00:09:20,081 --> 00:09:21,561
[Kimberly]
This is the kitchen.

217
00:09:21,648 --> 00:09:24,955
This is an artisanal pita
with a spicy sauce.

218
00:09:25,042 --> 00:09:26,522
So I used a gluten-free waffle

219
00:09:26,609 --> 00:09:28,568
with maple syrup
and bacon in the coating.

220
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:30,134
I wanted to try corn flour.

221
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:31,788
I finally centered
on the crepe.

222
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:35,052
The kitchen here,
kitchen lab, frankly,

223
00:09:35,139 --> 00:09:38,665
is where we marry business
strategy and culinary trends...

224
00:09:38,752 --> 00:09:40,362
[Morgan]
Yeah.

225
00:09:40,449 --> 00:09:43,017
...with culinary art
and commercialization.

226
00:09:43,104 --> 00:09:45,062
So that's essentially
what our company does.

227
00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:46,847
-Pickles and herbs.
-Pumpkin seeds, chia seeds.

228
00:09:46,934 --> 00:09:48,631
Nostalgic breads.

229
00:09:48,718 --> 00:09:50,502
[Morgan] They are masters
at forecasting market trends

230
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:53,810
and coming up with menu items
that customers crave.

231
00:09:53,897 --> 00:09:56,552
For example the Sriracha Burger
from Jack in the Box.

232
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,033
-Slew-racha.
-No, Sri-ra-cha.

233
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,992
We did the BK shots
for Burger King.

234
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:03,951
Oh, I just wanna squeeze 'em.

235
00:10:04,038 --> 00:10:06,083
And, in fact, we were the group
that created the Gordita.

236
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:07,737
Viva Gorditas.

237
00:10:09,826 --> 00:10:11,654
And this is why I'm here,

238
00:10:11,741 --> 00:10:14,004
because I need people who
are infinitely smarter than me

239
00:10:14,091 --> 00:10:15,353
to help me figure this out.

240
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,268
At least in that spot.

241
00:10:17,355 --> 00:10:19,531
Yeah, and who--who understand
kind of what this business--

242
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,925
what it takes to actually
be successful in this business.

243
00:10:22,012 --> 00:10:24,101
OK. So what is
behind this for you?

244
00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:26,843
-Sure.
-What's your inspiration?
What's your motivation?

245
00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:28,889
You know, why are you
wanting to do this?

246
00:10:28,976 --> 00:10:30,586
Yeah, well, I think...

247
00:10:30,673 --> 00:10:32,936
what I've seen in the last,
you know, 12 years

248
00:10:33,023 --> 00:10:34,982
is there's been this big trend,

249
00:10:35,069 --> 00:10:38,115
this big push towards healthier
fare, healthier options.

250
00:10:38,202 --> 00:10:40,727
And I said, if I'm gonna
focus on something healthier

251
00:10:40,814 --> 00:10:44,165
I should already be focusing on
the choices people are making,

252
00:10:44,252 --> 00:10:46,689
-which is chicken.
-Chicken, exactly.

253
00:10:46,776 --> 00:10:49,083
So what is your home run
for your restaurant?

254
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:50,867
What's the home run?

255
00:10:50,954 --> 00:10:52,608
When the consumer walks
away from the restaurant--

256
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:54,305
-They tell everybody about it.
-What are they saying?

257
00:10:54,392 --> 00:10:56,525
It looks different
than everything else.

258
00:10:56,612 --> 00:10:58,570
It tastes different
than everything else.

259
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,095
And people look at it,
it's like, oh, I trust that guy.

260
00:11:01,182 --> 00:11:02,531
-That's someone like me.
-Exactly.

261
00:11:02,618 --> 00:11:04,011
-And have a story.
-Yeah.

262
00:11:04,098 --> 00:11:05,665
And most importantly,

263
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:07,667
what does that mean
from a food standpoint?

264
00:11:09,451 --> 00:11:11,801
[Morgan] Every good restaurant
needs a story.

265
00:11:11,888 --> 00:11:13,629
Burger King has the Whopper.

266
00:11:14,412 --> 00:11:16,458
Wendy's has Dave Thomas.

267
00:11:16,545 --> 00:11:18,416
And Subway has...

268
00:11:18,503 --> 00:11:20,505
well, you know.

269
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:22,203
But as important
as good branding is...

270
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:24,031
There's a lot of chicken
to think about.

271
00:11:24,118 --> 00:11:25,641
...I first need to figure out

272
00:11:25,728 --> 00:11:29,079
what type of chicken is
and isn't selling.

273
00:11:29,166 --> 00:11:31,168
All right. So you're ready
to do some eating?

274
00:11:31,255 --> 00:11:33,301
-I am so ready.
-All right.

275
00:11:33,388 --> 00:11:34,955
Let's go look
at some restaurants

276
00:11:35,042 --> 00:11:36,652
so that you can
kind of get a sense

277
00:11:36,739 --> 00:11:37,697
of what's happening out there.

278
00:11:37,784 --> 00:11:39,220
[Morgan]
Let's go.

279
00:11:39,307 --> 00:11:40,700
We are coming up
to Chick-fil-A,

280
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:42,963
a number one
in customer satisfaction.

281
00:11:43,050 --> 00:11:45,008
Hmm, a regular and a spicy.

282
00:11:45,095 --> 00:11:46,793
-OK.
-Perfect.

283
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,099
[Christine] There's something
about this chicken...

284
00:11:49,186 --> 00:11:50,971
-I crave it.
-Oh, yeah.

285
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:52,668
[Christine]
What's this ingredient in here?

286
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:54,104
[Kimberly]
It-it's MSG.

287
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:56,150
They've got MSG in this. A lot.

288
00:11:56,237 --> 00:11:58,456
So part of the reason why this
is the fastest growing chain

289
00:11:58,543 --> 00:12:00,197
is 'cause they're
cracking us out on MSG.

290
00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:02,069
They are.

291
00:12:02,156 --> 00:12:03,984
Yeah. The other thing
about Chick-fil-A is, um...

292
00:12:04,071 --> 00:12:06,073
you should just never go there
with your gay husband.

293
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,683
[laughs] I know.

294
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:08,902
I think if you're not
gonna be inclusive,

295
00:12:08,989 --> 00:12:10,425
then you can fuck yourselves.

296
00:12:10,512 --> 00:12:11,861
That's a scientific
point of view.

297
00:12:12,688 --> 00:12:15,169
Pulling in to Wendy's.

298
00:12:15,256 --> 00:12:16,823
[over speaker]
Can I take your order?

299
00:12:16,910 --> 00:12:19,434
What's your most popular
chicken sandwich?

300
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,741
-The Spicy?
-Yeah.

301
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:23,525
And what's the healthiest
chicken sandwich?

302
00:12:24,656 --> 00:12:25,962
Mm.

303
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:29,139
It's like somebody
cleaned the grill

304
00:12:29,226 --> 00:12:30,924
with, like, cleaning solvent.

305
00:12:31,011 --> 00:12:33,187
You ever melt Styrofoam?

306
00:12:33,274 --> 00:12:36,059
Oh, research.
That's what this is.

307
00:12:36,146 --> 00:12:39,106
-A little 7-Eleven?
-Awesomeness guaranteed.

308
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:40,716
Let's take a look.

309
00:12:40,803 --> 00:12:42,544
That's like an unfortunate
colored sauce.

310
00:12:42,631 --> 00:12:44,894
-Oh, that's the signature sauce.
-Oh, that's the signature sauce.

311
00:12:44,981 --> 00:12:47,331
I've got a new baby
that's putting that
in his diaper every night.

312
00:12:47,418 --> 00:12:49,986
-[Kimberly laughs]
-Right there. Let's go.

313
00:12:50,073 --> 00:12:51,901
OK, so off to Organic Coup.

314
00:12:51,988 --> 00:12:53,816
[Morgan]
Hey, how are ya?

315
00:12:53,903 --> 00:12:55,818
[Kimberly] And this is all about
organic through and through.

316
00:12:55,905 --> 00:12:58,255
You get, like,
this real barn farm.

317
00:12:58,342 --> 00:12:59,648
[moos]

318
00:12:59,735 --> 00:13:01,041
[Christine laughs]
I know, right?

319
00:13:01,128 --> 00:13:02,912
-[Morgan] $400.
-[staff member] No.

320
00:13:02,999 --> 00:13:06,437
-I feel like organic's gonna
be too expensive.
-Yeah.

321
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:09,092
-Oh, fried chicken.
-[Kimberly] Three piece dinner.

322
00:13:09,179 --> 00:13:10,311
[Morgan] Awesome.

323
00:13:11,747 --> 00:13:13,575
Here's a chicken leg for you.

324
00:13:13,662 --> 00:13:14,881
So-- [laughs]

325
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,797
[Kimberly] We are going
to Bakesale Betty's,

326
00:13:17,884 --> 00:13:19,711
and the line's out the street.

327
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,235
[Morgan] So this is
the whole menu?

328
00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:22,932
Buttermilk fried chicken
and coleslaw sandwich.

329
00:13:23,019 --> 00:13:24,629
And where do
the chickens come from?

330
00:13:24,716 --> 00:13:26,327
-They're free-range.
-OK.

331
00:13:26,414 --> 00:13:27,937
What does--what does
free-range mean?

332
00:13:28,024 --> 00:13:29,852
I'm not sure what that means.
I should know.

333
00:13:29,939 --> 00:13:31,158
Yeah.

334
00:13:31,245 --> 00:13:33,160
That's a good-looking sandwich.

335
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:35,118
Ooh.

336
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:36,163
Mm-hmm. Oh.

337
00:13:36,250 --> 00:13:37,468
Mmm.

338
00:13:37,555 --> 00:13:39,296
Oh, yeah.

339
00:13:39,383 --> 00:13:42,212
Hey, what's the healthiest
sandwich you guys got?

340
00:13:42,299 --> 00:13:44,345
And then what's the most
popular sandwich?

341
00:13:49,306 --> 00:13:51,874
So this is the Burger King
most popular sandwich,

342
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:53,310
breaded, fried.

343
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:54,834
Mm.

344
00:13:54,921 --> 00:13:56,792
Ground up chicken bits inside.

345
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,926
All I can say is this place is
called Burger King for a reason.

346
00:14:01,231 --> 00:14:02,363
Oh, look, it's hollow.

347
00:14:04,582 --> 00:14:06,280
You can actually
put it on like a mitt.

348
00:14:07,411 --> 00:14:08,630
[grunts]

349
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:13,635
[majestic music]

350
00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:15,680
You should not be able to
do this with a chicken sandwich.

351
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:16,899
[horns honking]

352
00:14:16,986 --> 00:14:19,119
Come on down to Burger King.

353
00:14:19,206 --> 00:14:21,034
Get yourself a Chicken Mitt.

354
00:14:21,121 --> 00:14:22,426
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.

355
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:26,517
So we've eaten...

356
00:14:26,604 --> 00:14:28,824
-I don't know how many
calories of chicken.
-A lot.

357
00:14:28,911 --> 00:14:30,478
A lot.

358
00:14:30,565 --> 00:14:32,654
So now we have to work
on honing in your vision.

359
00:14:32,741 --> 00:14:33,742
Yes.

360
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:35,875
The hard part is,

361
00:14:35,962 --> 00:14:37,702
you want to
provide healthy options,
but at the end of the day,

362
00:14:37,789 --> 00:14:39,966
the healthy options aren't
what's keeping the lights on.

363
00:14:40,053 --> 00:14:42,882
Right. So this is
this kind of conundrum.

364
00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:45,493
Grilled chicken
sandwiches, which are
the healthier version...

365
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:48,148
-Yeah.
-...are declining.

366
00:14:48,235 --> 00:14:51,020
And I agree that grilled
chicken sandwiches are...

367
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:52,630
ultimately boring.

368
00:14:52,717 --> 00:14:54,632
Right. And fried chicken
sandwiches are growing.

369
00:14:54,719 --> 00:14:57,287
-Yeah.
-You know, consumers
crave this food.

370
00:14:57,374 --> 00:14:59,550
They're not willing
to sacrifice the taste.

371
00:14:59,637 --> 00:15:02,423
But there's this interesting
shifting definition of health,

372
00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:05,905
so it's not necessarily
100% healthy for you.

373
00:15:05,992 --> 00:15:07,950
It may be bad for you,
it's fried,

374
00:15:08,037 --> 00:15:10,300
but it's got some
vegetables in it, so you
feel better about it.

375
00:15:10,387 --> 00:15:12,259
-So it's a perception.
-It's the perception.

376
00:15:12,346 --> 00:15:14,739
Then I should play into that
as much as I can.

377
00:15:14,826 --> 00:15:16,176
Yes.

378
00:15:16,263 --> 00:15:17,786
It should feel
like healthier food.

379
00:15:17,873 --> 00:15:19,266
My sense is you've gotta
start with the chicken.

380
00:15:19,353 --> 00:15:21,181
-Hmm.
-Right?

381
00:15:21,268 --> 00:15:23,096
I mean, how do you feel about...

382
00:15:23,183 --> 00:15:25,533
having your own chickens?

383
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:29,145
That you raise, that you know
what their life has been like,

384
00:15:29,232 --> 00:15:31,191
before, you know, we eat 'em.

385
00:15:31,278 --> 00:15:33,193
Sort of a farm to table
sort of a feel.

386
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,412
'Cause no fast-food place
is doing that.

387
00:15:35,499 --> 00:15:37,675
These people are still
getting their chickens
from someone else.

388
00:15:37,762 --> 00:15:40,722
And if I can have the farm
that brings the chickens
to the restaurant,

389
00:15:40,809 --> 00:15:42,724
that's a good story.

390
00:15:42,811 --> 00:15:44,856
-So, a chicken farmer.
-Go forth and find
your chickens.

391
00:15:46,597 --> 00:15:49,861
[woman on laptop]
Take a step towards
your future today.

392
00:15:52,081 --> 00:15:53,996
[on laptop]
Farming, like any other market,

393
00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:56,172
is taking pride in your work,
doing all that you can

394
00:15:56,259 --> 00:15:58,609
to provide the best environment
that we can for those birds.

395
00:16:00,307 --> 00:16:02,309
[woman on laptop]
I think Perdue cares
about people

396
00:16:02,396 --> 00:16:06,182
as well as they care
about the chickens.

397
00:16:06,269 --> 00:16:09,359
[man on laptop] We're very
fortunate to have a relationship
with family farmers,

398
00:16:09,446 --> 00:16:11,927
and we feed a lot of people
over the world.

399
00:16:12,014 --> 00:16:14,277
[Morgan] Today, chicken is
a $48 billion industry.

400
00:16:14,364 --> 00:16:16,192
[phone line trilling]

401
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,759
With so much demand,

402
00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:19,195
you'd think getting
just a few thousand birds

403
00:16:19,282 --> 00:16:21,241
and a farm would be easy.

404
00:16:21,328 --> 00:16:22,938
[line trilling]

405
00:16:23,025 --> 00:16:24,461
[indistinct answer]

406
00:16:24,548 --> 00:16:26,811
Uh, hello. I was hoping
I could speak to someone

407
00:16:26,898 --> 00:16:29,292
about getting some chickens.

408
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:32,121
[on phone]
Getting some chickens?

409
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:34,689
-Yes, sir.
-Um...

410
00:16:34,776 --> 00:16:36,560
Uh... I don't know about that.

411
00:16:36,647 --> 00:16:38,127
[line trilling]

412
00:16:38,214 --> 00:16:39,911
[woman on phone]
Thank you for calling Perdue.

413
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:41,913
Hey, uh, I'm trying to, uh,
get in touch with somebody

414
00:16:42,001 --> 00:16:43,567
about getting some chickens.

415
00:16:43,654 --> 00:16:45,830
[on phone]
We don't sell our chickens.

416
00:16:45,917 --> 00:16:47,441
I'm trying to get some chicks.

417
00:16:47,528 --> 00:16:49,573
[on phone]
Let me transfer you to security.

418
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:51,793
[hangs up]

419
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,796
[man on phone]
We don't give chicks
to other than Tyson growers.

420
00:16:54,883 --> 00:16:56,928
OK. Would you happen
to know a place?

421
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:58,800
[on phone]
I sure do not.

422
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:03,022
[Morgan] But the same way
there's Big Oil and Big Tobacco,

423
00:17:03,109 --> 00:17:06,547
for poultry,
there's Big Chicken.

424
00:17:06,634 --> 00:17:10,986
Big Chicken produces
over 99% of all the poultry
consumed in the U.S.,

425
00:17:11,073 --> 00:17:15,208
most of which is supplied
by only five vertically
integrated corporations.

426
00:17:15,295 --> 00:17:17,166
Tyson, Pilgrim's,

427
00:17:17,253 --> 00:17:21,214
Sanderson Farms,
Koch Foods, and Perdue.

428
00:17:21,301 --> 00:17:24,652
And these five companies
control practically everything.

429
00:17:25,522 --> 00:17:27,611
From the breeder farms,

430
00:17:27,698 --> 00:17:29,657
to the egg hatcheries,

431
00:17:29,744 --> 00:17:31,659
the feed mills,

432
00:17:31,746 --> 00:17:33,922
grow-out conditions,

433
00:17:34,009 --> 00:17:35,837
and the processing plants.

434
00:17:35,924 --> 00:17:39,493
Big Chicken dictates almost
every part of the process.

435
00:17:40,407 --> 00:17:42,104
Look at it this way.

436
00:17:42,191 --> 00:17:44,498
The next time you're
wondering which came first,

437
00:17:44,585 --> 00:17:45,760
the chicken or the egg?

438
00:17:45,847 --> 00:17:48,284
Turns out it's Big Chicken.

439
00:17:49,503 --> 00:17:51,026
[man on speaker]
Here's how it works.

440
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:54,116
We will provide
the birds, the feed.

441
00:17:54,203 --> 00:17:55,204
[Morgan]
OK.

442
00:17:55,291 --> 00:17:56,684
You as a grower,

443
00:17:56,771 --> 00:17:58,686
you'll be responsible
for all the costs

444
00:17:58,773 --> 00:18:01,254
associated with the building,
the land,

445
00:18:01,341 --> 00:18:03,821
plus the, uh, utility costs,
and the labor.

446
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:06,259
[Morgan]
OK. Like, how much is
the costs for one house?

447
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,522
[on speaker]
I would recommend
starting out with four.

448
00:18:08,609 --> 00:18:10,480
That's a million six.

449
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:12,700
Um, OK.

450
00:18:12,787 --> 00:18:14,397
The standard is going to be
an 80/20 loan.

451
00:18:14,484 --> 00:18:16,356
[upbeat music]

452
00:18:21,361 --> 00:18:24,625
[woman on phone]
I believe there's another place
in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

453
00:18:24,712 --> 00:18:26,583
One second, I'm sorry.
I'm just writing this down.

454
00:18:29,978 --> 00:18:32,415
[answering machine]
Thank you for calling
Live Oak Bank

455
00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:34,548
-This is Josh.
-Hey, Josh, how are you doing?

456
00:18:34,635 --> 00:18:36,680
I'm a first-time chicken grower

457
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:38,987
I just wanted to call about
getting a loan for
my chicken farm.

458
00:18:39,074 --> 00:18:40,554
[Josh]
OK. What's your name?

459
00:18:40,641 --> 00:18:41,642
Morgan.

460
00:18:41,729 --> 00:18:42,817
[Josh]
Mm-hmm.

461
00:18:42,904 --> 00:18:45,602
Spurlock. S-P-U-R-L-O-C-K.

462
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:49,606
[Josh]
Are you a filmmaker?

463
00:18:49,693 --> 00:18:52,261
Am I a filmmaker?
Yeah, and a chicken farmer.

464
00:18:52,957 --> 00:18:54,437
[Josh chuckles]

465
00:18:54,524 --> 00:18:56,135
Well, are you
the documentary filmmaker?

466
00:18:56,657 --> 00:18:57,875
I-I am.

467
00:18:59,877 --> 00:19:03,316
Gotcha. Give me
a little bit of time here,
and I'll give you a call back.

468
00:19:03,403 --> 00:19:05,753
[Morgan] Clearly,
if I'm going to do this...

469
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,407
God, damn it.

470
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:10,236
I'll need to find a way
around Big Chicken.

471
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:11,759
[disconnected number tone]

472
00:19:11,846 --> 00:19:13,935
Out of business.

473
00:19:14,022 --> 00:19:17,852
But finding
an independent hatchery
is easier said than done.

474
00:19:17,939 --> 00:19:20,420
[man]
How many birds do you need?

475
00:19:20,507 --> 00:19:22,422
[Morgan]
How many birds could I get?

476
00:19:22,509 --> 00:19:24,467
Murray McMurray is
one of the few remaining

477
00:19:24,554 --> 00:19:26,817
independent hatcheries
in the U.S.

478
00:19:26,904 --> 00:19:29,255
They've been hatching chickens
for over a century,

479
00:19:29,342 --> 00:19:32,345
and offer over 100
different varieties of birds.

480
00:19:32,432 --> 00:19:35,522
But today, I'm all about
the broilers.

481
00:19:35,609 --> 00:19:37,567
Also known as meat chickens.

482
00:19:37,654 --> 00:19:41,397
Also known as the most
popular chicken on earth.

483
00:19:41,484 --> 00:19:42,790

00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:00,460

[footsteps]

488
00:20:58,431 --> 00:20:59,997
[Bud]
Your chicks are in here.

489
00:21:04,393 --> 00:21:06,177
Look at you, you're out.

490
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:11,835
Aww, good job.

491
00:21:11,922 --> 00:21:13,315
Good job getting out.

492
00:21:14,098 --> 00:21:15,274
Happy birthday!

493
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,325
In six weeks, these guys will
be ready for the dinner plate.

494
00:21:23,934 --> 00:21:25,371
Wow.

495
00:21:25,458 --> 00:21:27,634
Let's go meet your friends.

496
00:21:27,721 --> 00:21:31,290
This little guy, he's just
one of more than 9 billion
broiler chicks

497
00:21:31,377 --> 00:21:32,726
hatched in the U.S. each year.

498
00:21:32,813 --> 00:21:34,293
Come here.

499
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:36,338
Their sole purpose in life
is to grow fast

500
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:37,905
and to get in our bellies.

501
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:39,776
-That is so incredible.
-[loud chirping]

502
00:21:39,863 --> 00:21:41,125
Your birds are in here.

503
00:21:41,212 --> 00:21:43,432
Oh, man! That is
a lot of chicken.

504
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:44,781
Look at all my guys!

505
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,000

506
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:47,610
[Bud] These are Ross crosses,

507
00:21:47,697 --> 00:21:49,960
large, double breast,
fast-growing breed.

508
00:21:50,047 --> 00:21:51,484
[Morgan] Any other kind
of fast-food restaurant,

509
00:21:51,571 --> 00:21:53,181
they'd have these same
kind of chickens.

510
00:21:53,268 --> 00:21:54,574
They would have the same kind.

511
00:21:54,661 --> 00:21:55,879
And if you go
to the grocery store,

512
00:21:55,966 --> 00:21:57,794
this is what you
would be buying.

513
00:21:57,881 --> 00:21:59,753
They're especially bred
for the meat.

514
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,929
These chicks are
the result of 70 years

515

research and selective breeding.

-Sixteen, twenty weeks.
-Wow.

[Bud] Just selective breeding.

522
00:22:17,945 --> 00:22:20,774
Over the years, they keep
breeding a day off every year,

523
00:22:20,861 --> 00:22:22,732
and they just keep bringing it
down and down.

524
00:22:22,819 --> 00:22:24,865
That's incredible.

525
00:22:24,952 --> 00:22:27,215

And while society continues
to strive for gender equality...

526
00:22:27,302 --> 00:22:29,391

We'll get set up
to sex these birds.

527
00:22:29,478 --> 00:22:32,525
...with Big Chicken,
it still pays to be a man.

528
00:22:32,612 --> 00:22:34,004
Because the males grow faster.

529
00:22:34,091 --> 00:22:36,224
[Morgan]
And faster means more money.

530
00:22:36,311 --> 00:22:38,531
So, if I want to get more bang
for my chicken buck,

531
00:22:38,618 --> 00:22:40,228
I want to get
more male chickens.

532
00:22:40,315 --> 00:22:41,229
Correct.

about birds that are
pumped full of hormones.

You know,
most of that is a myth.

626
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:12,413

farmers into ironclad contracts

from entering their grow house.

the most amount of money.

00:29:25,415 --> 00:29:26,677
It'd be a crispy chicken.

676
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:27,896
Crispy, of course.

677
00:29:27,983 --> 00:29:29,289
Why a crispy chicken sandwich?

678
00:29:29,376 --> 00:29:30,769
It just tastes so good.

679
00:29:30,856 --> 00:29:32,248
It's got a nice spice to it.

680
00:29:32,335 --> 00:29:33,684
Are you gonna go grilled
or you gonna go...

681
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:34,729
Most likely fried.

682
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:36,383
You know, I go to, uh,

683
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:38,254
Kentucky Fried Chicken
every once in a while.

684
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:40,822
-Yeah.
-And get a half a bucket
and sit there,

685
00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:43,259
and the next thing I know,
I-I shouldn't have did it.

686
00:29:43,346 --> 00:29:44,870
[laughs] Right.

687
00:29:44,957 --> 00:29:46,349
See, we know we should
probably get the grilled

688
00:29:46,436 --> 00:29:47,437
but we don't. Why?

689
00:29:47,524 --> 00:29:48,961
It doesn't taste as good.

690
00:29:49,048 --> 00:29:50,658
So in our brain
we're telling ourselves

691
00:29:50,745 --> 00:29:52,573
we should order
the grilled chicken sandwich,

692
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:53,966
but our actions...

693
00:29:54,053 --> 00:29:55,358
Go the opposite direction.

694
00:29:55,445 --> 00:29:56,838
Yeah. Why is that?

695
00:29:56,925 --> 00:29:59,885
-I don't know.
-[Morgan laughs]

696
00:29:59,972 --> 00:30:02,844
I think healthy food depends
on the definition of health.

697
00:30:02,931 --> 00:30:04,324
What do you mean by that?

698
00:30:04,411 --> 00:30:06,979
So, we started to see
health change

699
00:30:07,066 --> 00:30:09,677
and evolve based
on health halos.

700
00:30:09,764 --> 00:30:12,071
What is a health halo?
What's that mean?

701
00:30:12,158 --> 00:30:15,335
Well, a health halo is when
there are terms associated
with certain product

702
00:30:15,422 --> 00:30:17,990
that--that make
it feel healthier.

703
00:30:18,077 --> 00:30:19,556
OK. So give me some examples.

704
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:22,559
So examples would be
"fresh" and "natural."

705
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:25,171
Um, "hand-crafted"
has become big.

706
00:30:25,258 --> 00:30:27,042
"Artisan."

707
00:30:27,129 --> 00:30:29,828
"Homemade," "scratch"--
things where consumers feel good

708
00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:31,655
about the food
and the ingredients.

709
00:30:31,742 --> 00:30:33,440
Even when I deep-fry it?

710
00:30:33,527 --> 00:30:34,833
Even when you deep-fry it.

711
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,356
That's incredible.

712
00:30:36,443 --> 00:30:39,533
The term "fried" has
evolved to "crispy."

713
00:30:39,620 --> 00:30:42,492
-Fried has a very
negative halo around it.
-Right.

714
00:30:42,579 --> 00:30:44,538
-So let's talk about
my restaurant.
-OK.

715
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:47,149
-Can it be fried
and also be quality?
-Sure.

716
00:30:47,236 --> 00:30:50,239
In fact, younger consumers
see quality ingredients

717
00:30:50,326 --> 00:30:52,285
and transparency
as better for them.

718
00:30:52,372 --> 00:30:55,679
So, for example, what are
the additives, preservatives?

719
00:30:55,766 --> 00:30:57,116
Was it sustainably raised?

720
00:30:57,203 --> 00:30:59,596
-Was it free-range or cage free?
-Right.

721
00:30:59,683 --> 00:31:02,077
This is what basically gives
them their perception of health

722
00:31:02,164 --> 00:31:04,427
-that becomes their reality.
-Yeah.

723
00:31:04,514 --> 00:31:07,039
But generally, they're led
by indulgence and craveability,

724
00:31:07,126 --> 00:31:10,259
so when they go out,
90% plus of consumers

725
00:31:10,346 --> 00:31:12,435
are going after
the fried or crispy food,

726
00:31:12,522 --> 00:31:13,959
versus the grilled.

727
00:31:14,046 --> 00:31:15,743
So how many
fried chicken sandwiches

728
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:17,876
are sold in the U.S.
every single year?

729
00:31:21,705 --> 00:31:24,056
I would venture to say...

730
00:31:24,143 --> 00:31:26,623
it's close to
a billion sandwiches.

731
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:29,365
A billion
chicken sandwiches a year?

732
00:31:29,452 --> 00:31:30,932
-Yeah.
-Wow.

733
00:31:31,019 --> 00:31:33,021
So the fried chicken sandwich...

734
00:31:33,108 --> 00:31:34,414
It's a good business to be in.

735
00:31:34,501 --> 00:31:36,677
Yes, absolutely.

736
00:31:36,764 --> 00:31:39,201
When was the last time you ate
a grilled chicken sandwich?

737
00:31:39,288 --> 00:31:40,811
-Probably never, man.
-[both laugh]

738
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:42,813
I'm not gonna lie!
Probably never.

739
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,641
Anything that's healthy
doesn't taste good.

740
00:31:44,728 --> 00:31:47,035
It's not, like, sizzling
and making a pop sound, it's--

741
00:31:47,122 --> 00:31:49,472
-I don't see myself eating it.
-Yeah.

742
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:52,301
So if everybody
wants the fried sandwich...

743
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:54,216
Take the fried, every time.

744
00:31:54,303 --> 00:31:56,392
-...and nobody wants
the grilled sandwich...
-Not me.

745
00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:59,004
But everybody wants the idea
of getting something healthy,

746
00:31:59,091 --> 00:32:01,615
can you just kind of bring
those two worlds together?

747
00:32:01,702 --> 00:32:06,707
Is there a way to make a healthy
fried chicken sandwich?

748
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:09,840
It's a grilled fried chicken!

749
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,364
It's a grilled fried chicken.

750
00:32:11,451 --> 00:32:13,627
Well, actually this is
a fried grilled chicken.

751
00:32:13,714 --> 00:32:16,325
You're gonna see
fried grilled chicken and
grilled fried chicken.

752
00:32:16,412 --> 00:32:19,633
[woman] So this one,
we wanted to showcase the fried,
then the grilling.

753
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,939
Fried grilled chicken?

754
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:22,288
-Yes.
-Really?

755
00:32:22,375 --> 00:32:23,637
Yeah.

756
00:32:26,727 --> 00:32:29,208
-[laughs]
-I encourage you to taste that.

757
00:32:29,295 --> 00:32:33,125
[Kimberly]
Remember that taste
is a huge part of it.

758
00:32:33,212 --> 00:32:35,127
-Mm-hmm.
-If it doesn't taste good,

759
00:32:35,214 --> 00:32:37,477
-you're not getting a business.
-Hmm.

760
00:32:37,564 --> 00:32:42,656
But I mean, how can I present
the fried grilled chicken
sandwich as being...

761
00:32:43,352 --> 00:32:44,614
better for you.

762
00:32:44,701 --> 00:32:46,268
-Let's see what happens...
-Yeah.

763
00:32:46,355 --> 00:32:47,922
...and have a chef
create one of those

764
00:32:48,009 --> 00:32:49,663
-and see what that's like.
-Sure.

765
00:32:56,061 --> 00:32:58,280
So we have spicy mayonnaise.

766
00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:00,891
Health used to mean
low fat, low calories...

767
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:02,415
That's nice.

768
00:33:02,502 --> 00:33:04,678
And now, health is about
what are the good things

769
00:33:04,765 --> 00:33:06,767
or the kinds of ingredients
that you're using.

770
00:33:06,854 --> 00:33:09,248
[Jan]
And all those fresh green herbs

771
00:33:09,335 --> 00:33:11,163
-really do give a health halo.
-[Morgan] Yeah.

772
00:33:11,250 --> 00:33:12,425
OK.

773
00:33:12,512 --> 00:33:13,817
Pickled vegetables.

774
00:33:13,904 --> 00:33:15,689
This is daikon,
onion, and carrot.

775
00:33:18,648 --> 00:33:23,218
So they are fried in the potato
and panko coating...

776
00:33:23,305 --> 00:33:25,177
and then they're grilling it
in a Panini press.

777
00:33:28,571 --> 00:33:31,531
[Morgan] To make this fried
chicken feel healthier,

778
00:33:31,618 --> 00:33:35,056
CCD is surrounding the meat
with a halo of all natural,

779
00:33:35,143 --> 00:33:38,973
local, and artisanal homemade
slaw and fresh green herbs.

780
00:33:39,060 --> 00:33:41,280
That combined
with pressed-on grill marks

781
00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:44,979
at least gives the perception
that this is a healthier
chicken sandwich.

782
00:33:45,849 --> 00:33:47,416
But the big question...

783
00:33:47,503 --> 00:33:49,201
How does it taste?

784
00:33:49,288 --> 00:33:52,334
So we have
the grilled crispy chicken.

785
00:33:52,421 --> 00:33:55,207
For this one, we increased
the spice on the spicy mayo,

786
00:33:55,294 --> 00:33:57,557
and this one, we have
a mustard sauce.

787
00:33:57,644 --> 00:33:58,862
-Great.
-Are you ready to taste?

788
00:33:58,949 --> 00:34:00,560
-Yes, please.
-Perfect.

789
00:34:00,647 --> 00:34:02,214
Here we go.

790
00:34:05,652 --> 00:34:07,741
We're actually gonna taste
the mustard one first.

791
00:34:07,828 --> 00:34:10,396
Oh, man...
the mustard sauce is good.

792
00:34:11,962 --> 00:34:13,877
Oh, my God.

793
00:34:13,964 --> 00:34:16,358
That's like one of the greatest
things I've eaten in my life.

794
00:34:16,445 --> 00:34:17,838
[laughter]

795
00:34:17,925 --> 00:34:19,187
That slaw pickle mix
is really nice.

796
00:34:19,274 --> 00:34:21,015
All those fresh green herbs.

797
00:34:21,102 --> 00:34:23,365
-Yeah, that already looks
like a healthy sandwich.
-Mm-hmm.

798
00:34:23,452 --> 00:34:25,759
I'm wondering what isn't
letting us get the grill marks.

799
00:34:25,846 --> 00:34:28,762
Our grill, our Panini press,
if it burns it,

800
00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:31,025
just so you get the char marks,
it's gonna overcook the chicken.

801
00:34:31,112 --> 00:34:33,419
See, the problem is I feel like
we need grill marks on it

802
00:34:33,506 --> 00:34:35,682
to hammer home
the healthful-looking sandwich.

803
00:34:35,769 --> 00:34:37,423
[Kimberly]
Mm-hmm.

804
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:39,642
If you really want char,
or grill marks, pardon me,

805
00:34:39,729 --> 00:34:43,255
you can paint them onto this
with dark food coloring.

806
00:34:43,342 --> 00:34:45,300
You're a--you're a smart one.

807
00:34:45,387 --> 00:34:47,041
[Betty]
OK, so we're getting ready
to do the next one?

808
00:34:47,128 --> 00:34:49,565
Mm-hmm. We're creating
the ultimate health halo.

809
00:34:49,652 --> 00:34:50,740
Let's try this.

810
00:34:50,827 --> 00:34:51,872
This is the spicy?

811
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:53,961
[Betty] This is the spicy, yeah.

812
00:34:54,048 --> 00:34:56,659
Like three seconds in,
it starts.

813
00:34:56,746 --> 00:34:58,487
Mm-hmm. You feel it,
you get the kick.

814
00:34:58,574 --> 00:35:00,968
That is a craveable flavor.

815
00:35:01,055 --> 00:35:02,578
That's a great sandwich.

816
00:35:02,665 --> 00:35:04,232
For the spicy crowd,
you've got something.

817
00:35:04,319 --> 00:35:06,147
for the non-spicy crowd,
you've got something.

818
00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:08,367
Both feel very craveable to me.

819
00:35:08,454 --> 00:35:10,543
[Morgan]
So let's have a conversation

820
00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:13,850
of how healthy are
our sandwiches.

821
00:35:13,937 --> 00:35:15,113
Um...

822
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,551
[laughter]

823
00:35:21,554 --> 00:35:23,817
I think--I think that
answers my question.

824
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,214
Morgan, you know
I'm not a nutritionist,

825
00:35:29,301 --> 00:35:31,607
but I would assume if you're
deep-frying something

826
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:33,261
you could be heavily criticized

827
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,176
and perhaps see
a backlash for that.

828
00:35:35,263 --> 00:35:36,960
I just want you to know that.

829
00:35:37,047 --> 00:35:38,701
[Morgan]
But everybody in America
loves fried chicken.

830
00:35:38,788 --> 00:35:40,529
But--but you--

831
00:35:40,616 --> 00:35:41,878
But I think that if you
start going down a path

832
00:35:41,965 --> 00:35:43,097
of super, super healthy

833
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:44,577
-nobody wants to eat it.
-Mm. OK.

834
00:35:44,664 --> 00:35:46,796
Well, you're gonna
have to do something

835
00:35:46,883 --> 00:35:48,363
that makes it healthier.

836
00:35:48,450 --> 00:35:50,278
Right. What are your guys'
thoughts on...

837
00:35:50,365 --> 00:35:52,933
Obviously, fried chicken is
never gonna be amazing for you,

838
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:55,936
but if you are showcasing
all of the ingredients

839
00:35:56,023 --> 00:35:57,807
and being transparent about it,

840
00:35:57,894 --> 00:36:00,332
that's where I think it can
be interesting to consumers.

841
00:36:00,419 --> 00:36:03,900
I think that's the big thing,
is what's the story behind
you and the chickens?

842
00:36:03,987 --> 00:36:06,729
You really have to be clear
on what kind of chicken
you're serving.

843
00:36:06,816 --> 00:36:08,992
Yeah, the chickens are blank,
or the chickens are this.

844
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:11,517
Are the chickens that you
are sourcing high quality

845
00:36:11,604 --> 00:36:13,345
and free range,
and things like that.

846
00:36:13,432 --> 00:36:15,564
Are you looking at organic?
Or are you...

847
00:36:15,651 --> 00:36:18,959
Probably not. But what if--what
if the chickens that I serve...

848
00:36:19,699 --> 00:36:20,656
are vegan?

849
00:36:20,743 --> 00:36:22,136
[laughter]

850
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:23,790
Yeah, I don't know
how that works.

851
00:36:23,877 --> 00:36:26,271
Home of the vegan chicken.

852
00:36:26,358 --> 00:36:28,229
-So there you go.
-I like it, actually.

853
00:36:28,316 --> 00:36:29,665
I kind of love that.

854
00:36:29,752 --> 00:36:32,190
Um, but I guess
the point being, Morgan,

855
00:36:32,277 --> 00:36:35,280
the better the chicken,
and the more claims you have,

856
00:36:35,367 --> 00:36:36,933
the easier and better it is.

857
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:39,327
-To tell that story. Yeah.
-A hundred percent.

858
00:36:42,896 --> 00:36:44,854
[Morgan]
Oh, my gosh, they're so big!

859
00:36:46,334 --> 00:36:47,901
[Jonathan]
They're outgrowing
their feathers.

860
00:36:47,988 --> 00:36:49,903
-That's why they're bald.
-That's good.

861
00:36:49,990 --> 00:36:52,297
They're growing so quick that
the feathers can't catch up.

862
00:36:52,384 --> 00:36:54,342
Holy shit.

863
00:36:54,429 --> 00:36:56,214
[Morgan]
So if almost of the
chicken consumed in America

864
00:36:56,301 --> 00:36:59,347
comes from
the same type of bird,

865
00:36:59,434 --> 00:37:01,654
then how do you make
the actual chickens better?

866
00:37:04,918 --> 00:37:07,399
So, the thing that I'd really
like to figure out

867
00:37:07,486 --> 00:37:09,923
is how do we make
them free-range?

868
00:37:10,010 --> 00:37:12,099
If we do that, we have
to really be careful

869
00:37:12,186 --> 00:37:14,275
about what we do
with this type of chicken.

870
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:15,798
OK.

871
00:37:15,885 --> 00:37:19,715
These birds are bred
to grow... indoors.

872
00:37:20,977 --> 00:37:22,762
They're sort of
like sissy birds.

873
00:37:25,504 --> 00:37:27,549
If these birds went outside,

874
00:37:27,636 --> 00:37:30,291
and it'll be a 120 degrees
outside this house right here,

875
00:37:30,378 --> 00:37:32,293
they're gonna die
from heat stress.

876
00:37:32,380 --> 00:37:35,514
-Kill these chickens
just in a few minutes.
-OK.

877
00:37:35,601 --> 00:37:37,298
But if we gave them
shade, with like--

878
00:37:37,385 --> 00:37:39,431
what's the smallest space
we could give them

879
00:37:39,518 --> 00:37:42,521
that would still be
quantified as free-range?

880
00:37:42,608 --> 00:37:45,001
You know, I really don't know
the regulations on that.

881
00:37:48,004 --> 00:37:49,615
[phone line trilling]

882
00:37:49,702 --> 00:37:52,095
-[woman on phone] Hello.
-Uh, yes. Is this the USDA?

883
00:37:52,182 --> 00:37:53,967
It certainly is.
How can I help you?

884
00:37:54,054 --> 00:37:55,969
Uh, so I have a question.

885
00:37:56,056 --> 00:37:59,015
I have a, uh, I have a small
chicken farm down in Alabama,

886
00:37:59,102 --> 00:38:02,149
and we're looking
to raise my chickens free-range.

887
00:38:02,236 --> 00:38:05,195
And I just wanted to understand
everything that I need to do,

888
00:38:05,283 --> 00:38:07,676
uh, to kind of fall
within USDA guidelines.

889
00:38:07,763 --> 00:38:09,417
[on phone]
OK.

890
00:38:09,504 --> 00:38:12,072
The written description
of the housing conditions

891
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:16,119
is reviewed to ensure that
the birds have continuous,
free access to the out of doors

892
00:38:16,206 --> 00:38:20,254
for over 51% of their lives
to the normal growing cycle.

893
00:38:20,341 --> 00:38:21,951
So does that
have to be full-time?

894
00:38:22,038 --> 00:38:23,692
Even when it's
100 degrees outside?

895
00:38:23,779 --> 00:38:25,825
Or is it time in
the morning when it's cool,

896
00:38:25,912 --> 00:38:28,218
then they come back in
during the heat of the day,

897
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:30,830
then they're allowed access
again in the evening
when it cools down again.

898
00:38:30,917 --> 00:38:32,440
[on phone]
Right. That--that's fine.

899
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:34,268
-That's fine.
-That's fine.

900
00:38:34,355 --> 00:38:36,401
And is there anything
about the size of the enclosure?

901
00:38:36,488 --> 00:38:38,620
[on phone]
Not that I'm aware of.

902
00:38:38,707 --> 00:38:41,188
I'm not seeing it has
any designation here
in the information.

903
00:38:41,275 --> 00:38:43,364
-OK.
-And I'll send you
all the details.

904
00:38:43,451 --> 00:38:44,844
Awesome.
I really appreciate it.

905
00:38:44,931 --> 00:38:46,759
Thank you so much
for your time.

906
00:38:46,846 --> 00:38:49,544
-Not a problem, have a good day.
-Have a great day. Bye, bye.

907
00:38:50,545 --> 00:38:52,373
Let's see what I got. Hold on.

908
00:38:52,460 --> 00:38:54,375
USDA permits the term
"free-range"

909
00:38:54,462 --> 00:38:56,551
if the chickens have
access to the outdoors

910
00:38:56,638 --> 00:38:58,292
for at least some
part of the day,

911
00:38:58,379 --> 00:39:01,991
whether the chickens choose
to go outside or not.

912
00:39:02,078 --> 00:39:03,689
So, ultimately, they don't
have to go outside,

913
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:05,473
as long as we give them
the option to go outside.

914
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,606
-Right. That's right.
-Then they're free-range.

915
00:39:07,693 --> 00:39:09,303
-That's what I understood.
-OK.

916
00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:19,531
[chirping]

917
00:39:20,227 --> 00:39:21,359
[door opens]

918
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:25,014
[door closes]

919
00:39:25,101 --> 00:39:26,276
[Jonathan]
Better watch your fingers.

920
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:27,930
[Morgan]
Let's move it over here.

921
00:39:29,018 --> 00:39:30,324
Ready?

922
00:39:31,281 --> 00:39:32,413
OK.

923
00:39:57,090 --> 00:39:58,221
[Morgan]
Should I just push this side in?

924
00:39:58,308 --> 00:39:59,658
[Zack]
Yeah.

925
00:40:04,663 --> 00:40:06,142
[Jonathan]
We're done.

926
00:40:06,229 --> 00:40:07,448
[laughter]

927
00:40:07,535 --> 00:40:09,102
They have access to outside.

928
00:40:10,451 --> 00:40:11,626
That's it.

929
00:40:13,498 --> 00:40:14,716
Here it is.

930
00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:16,805
Free-range.

931
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:21,810
Come on, come check it out.

932
00:40:21,897 --> 00:40:23,812
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

933
00:40:25,292 --> 00:40:27,512
Yeah, go check it out.
What's over there?

934
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:29,209
[clucks]

935
00:40:29,296 --> 00:40:30,558
They're afraid
to cross the threshold.

936
00:40:30,645 --> 00:40:31,820
But they are curious.

937
00:40:31,907 --> 00:40:33,126
Yeah.

938
00:40:34,214 --> 00:40:35,345
Come on.

939
00:40:37,391 --> 00:40:39,132
Hey, go outside. Check it out!

940
00:40:40,089 --> 00:40:41,482
Look, you're free-range.

941
00:40:43,528 --> 00:40:45,791
They're still considered
free-range if we're, like,

942
00:40:45,878 --> 00:40:47,662
trying to force them
to go outside?

943
00:40:47,749 --> 00:40:50,012
I think right now we're
just letting them know.

944
00:40:54,930 --> 00:40:56,497
Come on. Come check it out.

945
00:40:56,584 --> 00:40:59,413
Check it out. Check it out!

946
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:03,025
Check it out,
free-range chicken.

947
00:41:03,112 --> 00:41:05,245
You are living
the chicken dream.

948
00:41:05,332 --> 00:41:06,855
[clucks]

949
00:41:06,942 --> 00:41:08,901
Look at you, you're
a free-range chicken.

950
00:41:09,945 --> 00:41:11,947
Go tell all your friends.

951
00:41:12,034 --> 00:41:14,210
This guy's like,
I want that shade.

952
00:41:14,297 --> 00:41:15,864
Go check it out, guys.

953
00:41:15,951 --> 00:41:17,300
Pretty sweet.

954
00:41:18,693 --> 00:41:20,478
Or don't. Doesn't matter.

955
00:41:26,092 --> 00:41:27,876
[Morgan] I know.

956
00:41:27,963 --> 00:41:29,878
Free-range chickens are
supposed to look like this.

957
00:41:29,965 --> 00:41:31,706
[clucking]

958
00:41:31,793 --> 00:41:33,926
Or this.

959
00:41:34,013 --> 00:41:36,668
Or maybe something like this.

960
00:41:36,755 --> 00:41:38,539
That's what I thought, too.

961
00:41:38,626 --> 00:41:40,976
But it turns out there's no
enforceable legal definition

962
00:41:41,063 --> 00:41:42,848
for what free-range chicken
actually is.

963
00:41:42,935 --> 00:41:44,850
Which way is
the meat department?

964
00:41:44,937 --> 00:41:46,329
You see, the poultry industry
is highly competitive.

965
00:41:46,416 --> 00:41:48,375
Natural breast,
no added hormones.

966
00:41:48,462 --> 00:41:50,856
And Big Chicken
is determined to convince us

967
00:41:50,943 --> 00:41:52,901
that all chickens are
not created equal.

968
00:41:52,988 --> 00:41:55,034
Better feed, better taste.

969
00:41:55,121 --> 00:41:56,688
Chicken raised
without antibiotics.

970
00:41:56,775 --> 00:41:59,386
More than delicious,
a way of life.

971
00:41:59,473 --> 00:42:01,606
Moist and tender. Mmm.

972
00:42:01,693 --> 00:42:03,390
So if it works for them...

973
00:42:03,477 --> 00:42:05,261
See, there's an actual picture
of their real farm.

974
00:42:05,348 --> 00:42:07,089
...shouldn't it also
work for me?

975
00:42:07,176 --> 00:42:09,701
There's a lot of things
I can say about my chickens.

976
00:42:09,788 --> 00:42:13,748
I mean, it's not really cheating
if Big Chicken makes the rules
to the game... right?

977
00:42:13,835 --> 00:42:17,099
I've got to fill out
the USDA application

978
00:42:17,186 --> 00:42:20,668
than enables me to label
my chickens certain things.

979
00:42:21,582 --> 00:42:24,150
So name of product is

980
00:42:24,237 --> 00:42:27,849
Morganic Fresh Farms.

981
00:42:27,936 --> 00:42:31,244
Since my chickens are already
on a non-organic diet
that includes pork meat...

982
00:42:31,331 --> 00:42:33,463
[chuckles] It has some pork
in my chicken feed.

983
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:35,030
Pork-fed chickens.

984
00:42:35,117 --> 00:42:38,120
...sadly, that means they
can't be called organic.

985
00:42:38,207 --> 00:42:41,036
But what else makes people
think that chicken is better?

986
00:42:41,123 --> 00:42:43,909
If I had a chicken farm
called Morganic Fresh Farms,

987
00:42:43,996 --> 00:42:46,128
what would you expect
those chickens to be like?

988
00:42:46,215 --> 00:42:49,610
I'd expect it to be Morgan's
highest quality chicken.

989
00:42:49,697 --> 00:42:51,394
-They're natural.
-Natural, all natural.

990
00:42:51,481 --> 00:42:53,309
-Natural.
-[Morgan] What does
"all natural" mean?

991
00:42:53,396 --> 00:42:55,094
It was born in the wild.

992
00:42:55,181 --> 00:42:57,400
Eating corn,
living life.

993
00:42:57,487 --> 00:42:59,228
[TV announcers]
-All natural
-100% natural.

994
00:42:59,315 --> 00:43:00,752
100% natural.

995
00:43:00,839 --> 00:43:03,537
All natural is the most
misleading claim

996
00:43:03,624 --> 00:43:06,061
on meat and poultry products.

997
00:43:06,148 --> 00:43:07,933
All natural is really organic?

998
00:43:08,020 --> 00:43:09,108
Organic, I guess.

999
00:43:09,195 --> 00:43:11,893
The average consumer appears

1000
00:43:11,980 --> 00:43:15,418
to think all natural is
very similar to organic.

1001
00:43:15,505 --> 00:43:17,116
All natural, organic,
it's the same.

1002
00:43:17,203 --> 00:43:19,597
How the land is treated;
how the animals are treated;

1003
00:43:19,684 --> 00:43:22,164
what they're fed;
whether they get antibiotics.

1004
00:43:22,251 --> 00:43:24,950
It means none of those things.

1005
00:43:25,037 --> 00:43:28,214
All natural, according
to the United States
Department of Agriculture,

1006
00:43:28,301 --> 00:43:32,174
means minimally processed;
no artificial ingredients.

1007
00:43:32,261 --> 00:43:36,526
Only means what
happens to the product
after the animal is killed

1008
00:43:36,614 --> 00:43:39,878
and has nothing to do
with how the animal is raised.

1009
00:43:39,965 --> 00:43:42,663
So, all natural.
[bell rings]

1010
00:43:42,750 --> 00:43:44,752
Hormone free,
what does that mean?

1011
00:43:44,839 --> 00:43:46,798
They don't put hormones
in the food to make
them grow faster.

1012
00:43:46,885 --> 00:43:50,628
That's where they inject
the chemicals into a chicken.

1013
00:43:50,715 --> 00:43:53,456
I think it absorbs into
the muscle, into the fat
of the chicken, then the meat.

1014
00:43:53,543 --> 00:43:54,544
We eat that.

1015
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:55,981
And I'm one of those people

1016
00:43:56,068 --> 00:43:57,809
at the grocery store
that will buy--

1017
00:43:57,896 --> 00:43:59,811
spend the extra and buy
the no hormone-injected meats

1018
00:43:59,898 --> 00:44:02,291
and I do the best I can.

1019
00:44:02,378 --> 00:44:04,903
[TV announcers]
Without any added hormones.
Grown with no added hormones.

1020
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:09,255
By law, poultry cannot
receive hormones.

1021
00:44:09,342 --> 00:44:11,823
And yet, producers
can make that claim.

1022
00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:14,477
Well, Foster Farms Chicken
has no added hormones.

1023
00:44:14,564 --> 00:44:17,089
Well, I wish you didn't have
any added negativity!

1024
00:44:17,176 --> 00:44:20,396
[Morgan] No hormones added.
[bell ring]

1025
00:44:20,483 --> 00:44:23,573
-If a chicken is cage-free,
what does that mean?
-Cage-free?

1026
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:26,141
Cage-free chicken
would be a cousin of
a free-range chicken.

1027
00:44:26,228 --> 00:44:28,535
They're still within quarters

1028
00:44:28,622 --> 00:44:31,146
but just not in those small,
little containers.

1029
00:44:31,233 --> 00:44:32,887
-And that's good, right?
-Yeah.

1030
00:44:32,974 --> 00:44:36,151
[Dena] Cage-free.
We consider that misleading.

1031
00:44:36,238 --> 00:44:40,808
Meat chickens
in the United States have
never been raised in cages.

1032
00:44:40,895 --> 00:44:43,115
-[Morgan] Cage-free.
-[bell ring]

1033
00:44:43,202 --> 00:44:45,160
What about a label
that says "humanely raised."

1034
00:44:45,247 --> 00:44:46,988
What does that mean?

1035
00:44:47,075 --> 00:44:49,077
Uh, it's not raised in a cruel,
unnatural condition.

1036
00:44:49,164 --> 00:44:51,601
Like, if you're gonna eat meat,
I'd rather it be, like,

1037
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:53,473
-ethically treated, you know.
-Yeah.

1038
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,563
Then for some things,
like humane,

1039
00:44:56,650 --> 00:44:59,740
they allow the producer
to define the claim.

1040
00:44:59,827 --> 00:45:03,439
So I'm gonna say humanely
raised means...

1041
00:45:03,526 --> 00:45:07,835
chickens raised
humanely on a family farm
in a stress-free environment.

1042
00:45:07,922 --> 00:45:12,405
Our farmers always handle
the birds with care and respect.

1043
00:45:12,492 --> 00:45:15,974
So now my free-range, cage-free,
no hormones added,

1044
00:45:16,061 --> 00:45:19,194
humanely-raised,
100% natural chickens

1045
00:45:19,281 --> 00:45:21,893
can get the USDA's
seal of approval.

1046
00:45:21,980 --> 00:45:23,982
Some pretty good bullshit
right there.

1047
00:45:26,201 --> 00:45:30,249
If you put your faith
in government to be looking
out for what's in your food,

1048
00:45:30,336 --> 00:45:33,731
then you're--you're putting
yourself into an experiment.

1049
00:45:33,818 --> 00:45:35,776
And the USDA,
there's no funding.

1050
00:45:35,863 --> 00:45:38,910
They can't afford to test
anything, so they don't.

1051
00:45:38,997 --> 00:45:42,348
If you vouch for its safety,
we're good, you know.

1052
00:45:42,435 --> 00:45:43,479
They rubber stamp it.

1053
00:45:43,566 --> 00:45:45,307
So when people say...

1054
00:45:45,394 --> 00:45:47,048
we're only selling people
what they want, is that true?

1055
00:45:47,135 --> 00:45:48,310
-It's absolutely true.
-Yeah.

1056
00:45:48,397 --> 00:45:49,790
'Cause they're constantly,

1057
00:45:49,877 --> 00:45:51,226
ear to the ground,
what do people want?

1058
00:45:51,313 --> 00:45:53,925
GMO free, free-range,

1059
00:45:54,012 --> 00:45:57,102
humanely raised, like,
all these terms

1060
00:45:57,189 --> 00:45:59,626
are coming out of the people
that are the activists,

1061
00:45:59,713 --> 00:46:03,021
and then they get adopted
really quickly by the companies.

1062
00:46:03,108 --> 00:46:04,239
Yeah.

1063
00:46:04,326 --> 00:46:05,719
It's kind of like the '70's,

1064
00:46:05,806 --> 00:46:07,808
when the whole
peace-love movement

1065
00:46:07,895 --> 00:46:10,724
became, like, lunch boxes
and stuff, and then it was over.

1066
00:46:10,811 --> 00:46:12,682
-[laughs]
-Right.

1067
00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:14,859
What will it take to change
the environment we live in?

1068
00:46:14,946 --> 00:46:17,252
A really passionate...

1069
00:46:17,339 --> 00:46:19,689
involved consumer that takes
advantage of the fact

1070
00:46:19,777 --> 00:46:22,475
that you can kind of learn about
anything you want to, right now.

1071
00:46:22,562 --> 00:46:24,782
You want to know what's
in something, Google it up.

1072
00:46:24,869 --> 00:46:27,045
If everybody
took advantage of that,

1073
00:46:27,132 --> 00:46:30,091
there'd be clean food,
there'd be healthy food,
it would change overnight.

1074
00:46:31,484 --> 00:46:34,008
So I'd like to ask you
about what I'm doing.

1075
00:46:34,095 --> 00:46:35,488
Well, you need a catchy name.

1076
00:46:35,575 --> 00:46:37,751
Talk about the farm.

1077
00:46:37,838 --> 00:46:41,537
There is this bucolic notion
of what's going on
at the farm, still,

1078
00:46:41,624 --> 00:46:45,672
that Americans have,
because we all grew up with our
little farm toys and everything.

1079
00:46:45,759 --> 00:46:48,588
And why do we, as consumers,
want to believe that?

1080
00:46:48,675 --> 00:46:50,982
We don't take in stuff
through fact,

1081
00:46:51,069 --> 00:46:52,853
we take in stuff
through stories.

1082
00:46:52,940 --> 00:46:55,203
So every brand has a story,
every campaign has a story.

1083
00:46:55,290 --> 00:46:57,945
-And your restaurant
has a story.
-Right.

1084
00:46:58,032 --> 00:47:00,730
-You gotta weave a good tale.
-Yeah.

1085
00:47:07,912 --> 00:47:09,522
[Morgan]
This is my farm.

1086
00:47:09,609 --> 00:47:12,699
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Morganic? Yeah.

1087
00:47:12,786 --> 00:47:16,268
[Morgan] Andrew Clark
and David Littlejohn run
the creative agency Humanaut.

1088
00:47:16,355 --> 00:47:18,313
They specialize in getting
startups off the ground

1089
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,925
with innovative
and outside-the-box campaigns.

1090
00:47:21,012 --> 00:47:23,971
Hey, foodies. It doesn't
get any more local than that.

1091
00:47:24,058 --> 00:47:27,192
[Morgan]
They've agreed to come on board
to help me weave my tale.

1092
00:47:27,279 --> 00:47:29,585
I'm trying to find an agency
who can kind of help me

1093
00:47:29,672 --> 00:47:33,763
fulfill my vision of
the ultimate farm-to-table
fast-food restaurant.

1094
00:47:33,851 --> 00:47:36,418
And the whole reason I wanted
to raise my own chickens

1095
00:47:36,505 --> 00:47:39,639
was because what consumers
are kind of leaning towards
and want now,

1096
00:47:39,726 --> 00:47:41,249
which is kind
of "healthy fast-food."

1097
00:47:41,336 --> 00:47:42,990
-Right.
-So, raising my own chickens,

1098
00:47:43,077 --> 00:47:45,123
there's nothing more
farm-to-table than that.

1099
00:47:45,210 --> 00:47:47,038
-Are you gonna
serve that chicken?
-Absolutely.

1100
00:47:47,125 --> 00:47:48,604
-Chicken farmer.
-Chicken farmer.

1101
00:47:48,691 --> 00:47:52,478
They are free-range,
they are cage-free,

1102
00:47:52,565 --> 00:47:55,133
they are antibiotic-free,
hormone-free,

1103
00:47:55,220 --> 00:47:57,135
-all natural...
-[Andrew] Asbestos-free?

1104
00:47:57,222 --> 00:47:59,615
[chuckles] Asbestos free,
USDA certified.

1105
00:47:59,702 --> 00:48:01,530
That sounds amazing.

1106
00:48:01,617 --> 00:48:04,098
Until you start to realize
how much of that is labeling.

1107
00:48:04,185 --> 00:48:06,927
And marketing.
And it's just kind of...

1108
00:48:07,014 --> 00:48:08,494
the health halo.

1109
00:48:08,581 --> 00:48:10,235
Especially like
a fast-food restaurant.

1110
00:48:10,322 --> 00:48:12,280
They've kind of been
green-washing, health-washing

1111
00:48:12,367 --> 00:48:14,065
the dirty, unhealthy truth.

1112
00:48:14,152 --> 00:48:16,241
They want you to feel like
they're being honest,

1113
00:48:16,328 --> 00:48:19,984
-or you can trust them.
-But it's still junk food.

1114
00:48:20,071 --> 00:48:22,247
[Morgan]
Before we get started
on slogans and jingles,

1115
00:48:22,334 --> 00:48:24,989
I need to understand just how
much things have changed.

1116
00:48:25,076 --> 00:48:27,730
First stop, the one
place story-wise

1117
00:48:27,817 --> 00:48:30,908
that Andrew and David think
has truly evolved the most.

1118
00:48:31,778 --> 00:48:33,258
[David]
McDonald's.

1119
00:48:33,345 --> 00:48:34,433
[Morgan]
Oh, my gosh.

1120
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,956
[David]
Yeah.

1121
00:48:36,043 --> 00:48:37,175
This is your first
time back, right?

1122
00:48:37,262 --> 00:48:38,959
This will be the first time

1123
00:48:39,046 --> 00:48:43,094
I have set foot
in a McDonald's in 12 years.

1124
00:48:43,181 --> 00:48:45,226
-It's a big moment.
-[David] Here we are.

1125
00:48:46,793 --> 00:48:49,796
[Morgan]
Oh, my gosh. I'm having
flashbacks already.

1126
00:48:49,883 --> 00:48:53,191
[David]
This is a drastically
different place

1127
00:48:53,278 --> 00:48:55,628
than the McDonald's
of ten years ago.

1128
00:48:55,715 --> 00:48:57,847
It doesn't look like any
McDonald's I've ever been in.

1129
00:48:57,935 --> 00:49:00,415
It definitely looks better
than those clown castles
they used to have.

1130
00:49:00,502 --> 00:49:01,939
[chuckles]

1131
00:49:02,026 --> 00:49:03,810
Nice stone work. I mean,
that's not cheap.

1132
00:49:03,897 --> 00:49:06,639
Yeah, but is it gonna taste
drastically different?

1133
00:49:06,726 --> 00:49:08,510
[David]
You're gonna let us know.

1134
00:49:08,597 --> 00:49:10,425
[Morgan]
The smell's already wafting
out of the doors.

1135
00:49:10,512 --> 00:49:12,253
[David]
Yeah, it really is.

1136
00:49:12,340 --> 00:49:14,560
[Morgan] Wow.

1137
00:49:14,647 --> 00:49:16,997
There's nothing in here
that makes you think
this is a McDonald's...

1138
00:49:17,084 --> 00:49:18,781
I'd like to get
a southern-style chicken.

1139
00:49:18,868 --> 00:49:20,653
...except for the way it smells

1140
00:49:20,740 --> 00:49:22,698
and the fact that it says, like,
"I'm lovin' it" on the wall.

1141
00:49:24,352 --> 00:49:25,397
Thank you very much.

1142
00:49:25,484 --> 00:49:26,789
Mmm.

1143
00:49:26,876 --> 00:49:27,834
All right, guys.

1144
00:49:27,921 --> 00:49:29,140
Here's the goods.

1145
00:49:29,227 --> 00:49:30,358
[Morgan]
So let's take a look.

1146
00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:32,708
OK. Are we ready?

1147
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:34,275
-Let's do it.
-Let's go.

1148
00:49:34,362 --> 00:49:35,581
Enjoy.

1149
00:49:42,066 --> 00:49:44,459
Glad to know some things
haven't changed in 12 years.

1150
00:49:44,546 --> 00:49:45,939
Oh, whoo.

1151
00:49:46,026 --> 00:49:48,028
I'm having like...

1152
00:49:48,115 --> 00:49:49,638
McPTSD.

1153
00:49:49,725 --> 00:49:51,075
[laughter]

1154
00:49:51,162 --> 00:49:52,293
Whoo.

1155
00:49:52,380 --> 00:49:53,729
This looks very different.

1156
00:49:53,816 --> 00:49:55,079
This...

1157
00:49:55,166 --> 00:49:57,516
tastes just as bad.

1158
00:49:57,603 --> 00:49:59,692
OK, remember when they used
to have Styrofoam containers?

1159
00:49:59,779 --> 00:50:01,476
Now they've got these.

1160
00:50:01,563 --> 00:50:03,913
That gives you the sense of,
like, minimal processing.

1161
00:50:04,001 --> 00:50:05,393
Yeah, it's very green-looking.

1162
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,874
This sandwich is called,
you know, artisan.

1163
00:50:07,961 --> 00:50:10,485
If you talked to a true artisan
and showed them this...

1164
00:50:10,572 --> 00:50:11,965
[Morgan]
Here, let's take a look.

1165
00:50:12,052 --> 00:50:13,488
[laughter]

1166
00:50:13,575 --> 00:50:15,534
It's not like they have
artisan staff back there

1167
00:50:15,621 --> 00:50:17,188
and then regular staff.

1168
00:50:17,275 --> 00:50:18,667
[Morgan] One guy makes
that sandwich all day.

1169
00:50:18,754 --> 00:50:20,060
It's made by our artisan.

1170
00:50:20,147 --> 00:50:21,888
[laughter]

1171
00:50:21,975 --> 00:50:24,064
So then this idea of, like,
the simpler the better.

1172
00:50:24,151 --> 00:50:27,763
They're able to kind of create
this health halo around the food

1173
00:50:27,850 --> 00:50:29,287
by calling it simple.

1174
00:50:29,374 --> 00:50:30,940
And you realize
it doesn't mean anything.

1175
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:33,378
And look at this chicken.
It's like a super nugget.

1176
00:50:33,465 --> 00:50:35,075
[laughs] That's amazing.

1177
00:50:35,162 --> 00:50:37,773
But also, you gotta love
the fresh cracked eggs.

1178
00:50:37,860 --> 00:50:39,471
Cracked fresh in our kitchen...

1179
00:50:39,558 --> 00:50:40,820
with two hands.

1180
00:50:40,907 --> 00:50:42,169
I feel better already.

1181
00:50:42,256 --> 00:50:43,997
You know, it's like
the bare minimum

1182
00:50:44,084 --> 00:50:46,652
becomes the height of, like,
look at what we've done.

1183
00:50:46,739 --> 00:50:48,480
-They said they've heard me.
-Yes.

1184
00:50:48,567 --> 00:50:50,743
-"We've heard you."
-Literally talking about you.

1185
00:50:50,830 --> 00:50:53,876
We've heard you, Spurlock,
and now look what we've done.

1186
00:50:53,963 --> 00:50:55,356
We made a tri-fold brochure.

1187
00:50:55,443 --> 00:50:56,966
[laughter]

1188
00:50:57,054 --> 00:50:58,925
So it's like when you see
a word like artisan,

1189
00:50:59,012 --> 00:51:00,231
fresh cracked egg,

1190
00:51:00,318 --> 00:51:02,276
the simpler the better,

1191
00:51:02,363 --> 00:51:05,062
and you just even begin to ask,
"What do they mean by that?"

1192
00:51:05,149 --> 00:51:09,240
It just quickly falls apart
and becomes humorous.

1193
00:51:09,327 --> 00:51:11,720
-[Morgan] Got it.
-[Andrew] Let's go
to the next spot.

1194
00:51:11,807 --> 00:51:14,462
Oh. Whoo.

1195
00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:16,160
-[Morgan] What's next?
-[Andrew] Here we go!

1196
00:51:16,247 --> 00:51:17,683
Chipotle.

1197
00:51:17,770 --> 00:51:19,032
These guys do it better
than anyone.

1198
00:51:19,119 --> 00:51:20,468
It's really simple,
raw ingredients.

1199
00:51:20,555 --> 00:51:22,209
You're gonna see a lot
of handwriting,

1200
00:51:22,296 --> 00:51:24,690
telling the story of where
your food comes from.

1201
00:51:24,777 --> 00:51:27,388
Well, that chip was probably
cut, fried, and finished
with a squeeze of lime.

1202
00:51:27,475 --> 00:51:31,610
Maybe those salty
little imperfections
aren't for you, buddy.

1203
00:51:31,697 --> 00:51:34,569
What do they do to make that
guacamole so radioactive green?

1204
00:51:34,656 --> 00:51:37,094
Nothing, man, it's natural.
It's right there on the cup.

1205
00:51:37,181 --> 00:51:40,401
And it's that hand-lettered
font to give you that
handmade artisanal feel,

1206
00:51:40,488 --> 00:51:42,708
so that you feel better
about what you're eating.

1207
00:51:42,795 --> 00:51:45,711
-Mmm.
-Regardless of the astronomic
calorie counts.

1208
00:51:45,798 --> 00:51:49,932
"As they say in the old country,
treat thyself. Chipotle."

1209
00:51:52,283 --> 00:51:53,893
-Panera.
-Panera.

1210
00:51:53,980 --> 00:51:55,808
So Morgan, as we go in here,

1211
00:51:55,895 --> 00:51:58,115
we encourage you just
to pay attention to everything.

1212
00:51:58,202 --> 00:52:00,813
Every piece is gonna
be something you're gonna
want to think about, too.

1213
00:52:00,900 --> 00:52:03,642
Van Gogh bread, Dali bread.
[laughs]

1214
00:52:04,556 --> 00:52:05,687
The walls, the colors.

1215
00:52:05,774 --> 00:52:07,385
[Morgan]
Very orange.

1216
00:52:07,472 --> 00:52:08,995
The orange is about
vibrancy and energy.

1217
00:52:09,082 --> 00:52:11,345
Green, you're not just
eating natural food.

1218
00:52:11,432 --> 00:52:13,173
There's chips here,
there's cookies...

1219
00:52:13,260 --> 00:52:16,045
but you're in this comfortable,
green, sustainable space.

1220
00:52:16,133 --> 00:52:19,701
And you can see
their mission statement
for everyone in here to read.

1221
00:52:19,788 --> 00:52:21,964
-It's, uh, food as it should be.
-[Morgan] Got it.

1222
00:52:22,051 --> 00:52:24,793
Or, Morgan, you could just
do something like a word wall.

1223
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,186
Words smashed together.

1224
00:52:26,273 --> 00:52:27,622
They don't have
to mean anything.

1225
00:52:27,709 --> 00:52:29,537
-Quality.
-Services.

1226
00:52:29,624 --> 00:52:31,539
-Col. Sanders.
-Chicken.

1227
00:52:31,626 --> 00:52:33,150
Boston Market.

1228
00:52:33,237 --> 00:52:35,369
You know, here we got
photographs of the farm.

1229
00:52:35,456 --> 00:52:37,893
You want to feel like
your food came from a farm

1230
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:39,504
and a farm that looks like that.

1231
00:52:39,591 --> 00:52:41,070
[Morgan] I know what
a chicken farm looks like

1232
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:42,811
and that looks nothing like one.

1233
00:52:42,898 --> 00:52:45,118
Whether or not this is
the actual farm, who knows?

1234
00:52:45,205 --> 00:52:46,467
Yeah.

1235
00:52:46,554 --> 00:52:48,469
[David]
Subway. Eat Fresh.

1236
00:52:48,556 --> 00:52:51,211
These guys were the first ones
to actually show you vegetables.

1237
00:52:51,298 --> 00:52:54,475
Providing this healthy halo
to the unhealthy items
right next to it.

1238
00:52:54,562 --> 00:52:56,651
So I'm gonna get
the Oven Roasted Chicken,

1239
00:52:56,738 --> 00:52:59,915
or I'm gonna get the 1220
calorie Chicken Bacon
Ranch Melt.

1240
00:53:00,002 --> 00:53:02,440
But you're gonna
feel better about that...

1241
00:53:02,527 --> 00:53:04,746
because you're nestled
in a salad, right there.

1242
00:53:04,833 --> 00:53:06,357
[laughter]

1243
00:53:06,444 --> 00:53:09,055
And your brain
doesn't expect more.

1244
00:53:09,142 --> 00:53:10,448
That's right.

1245
00:53:10,535 --> 00:53:12,363
I've got the Oven Roasted
Chicken Sandwich

1246
00:53:12,450 --> 00:53:14,800
but you can see I've
actually got grill marks,

1247
00:53:14,887 --> 00:53:16,584
even though it's from an oven.

1248
00:53:16,671 --> 00:53:19,065
-But somewhere it was "grilled."
-Artificial grill marks.

1249
00:53:19,152 --> 00:53:21,981
That's something that's
been used in the industry
for a long time.

1250
00:53:22,068 --> 00:53:25,158
So despite there being
fake grill marks on there,
I think it's better for me.

1251
00:53:25,245 --> 00:53:27,943
-Absolutely.
-That's amazing.

1252
00:53:28,030 --> 00:53:31,643
[Morgan] When it comes to truly
washing oneself in the vast
green glow of healthy-ish...

1253
00:53:31,730 --> 00:53:33,819
-[Andrew] Wendy's.
-[David] Yeah, here we are.

1254
00:53:33,906 --> 00:53:36,343
...Wendy's takes
the gluten-free cake.

1255
00:53:36,430 --> 00:53:38,519
-Welcome to real.
-It's real.

1256
00:53:38,606 --> 00:53:41,043
We're not gonna
serve you virtual food.
You will have real food.

1257
00:53:41,130 --> 00:53:44,003
[Andrew]
So I'm counting at least four
different types of wood grain.

1258
00:53:44,090 --> 00:53:46,484
My favorite thing in this place
is the glass grass.

1259
00:53:46,571 --> 00:53:48,225
[David]
I mean, it screams natural.

1260
00:53:48,312 --> 00:53:50,314
All the messaging
that's on this tray liner.

1261
00:53:50,401 --> 00:53:52,490
-Because it's different.
-Raised on ranches.

1262
00:53:52,577 --> 00:53:54,361
[David] All-all cows
are raised on ranches.

1263
00:53:54,448 --> 00:53:56,537
Right.
With the bakery-style bun.

1264
00:53:56,624 --> 00:54:01,107
Does this bun look
any different to you
than it did ten years ago?

1265
00:54:01,194 --> 00:54:04,937
No, but do I think that because
of the cues that are happening
in this restaurant,

1266
00:54:05,024 --> 00:54:06,721
this is suddenly better for me?

1267
00:54:06,808 --> 00:54:08,680
-Yes.
-It's up there nestled
between salads.

1268
00:54:08,767 --> 00:54:10,203
How could it not
be better for me?

1269
00:54:10,290 --> 00:54:12,814
You're actually having
a health halo...

1270
00:54:12,901 --> 00:54:14,903
-Experience.
-Yeah.

1271
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:18,603
You can't fault a brand
for trying to say
the best thing possible,

1272
00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:21,345
but when you're doing
all of it to give people

1273
00:54:21,432 --> 00:54:24,043
a false impression
of what you really are...

1274
00:54:24,130 --> 00:54:25,914
[Morgan]
Yeah, from the Baconator.

1275
00:54:26,001 --> 00:54:27,525
You've crossed a line
and you're deceiving people.

1276
00:54:27,612 --> 00:54:29,831
-You think you're eating that...
-Yeah.

1277
00:54:29,918 --> 00:54:31,703
But you're eating
the shitty thing in your hand.

1278
00:54:31,790 --> 00:54:33,792
Right. Just keep your eyes
on this while you--

1279
00:54:33,879 --> 00:54:35,402
[laughter]

1280
00:54:38,797 --> 00:54:41,452
So, when consumers go
into a fast-food restaurant,

1281
00:54:41,539 --> 00:54:45,107
thinking that the food is
actually healthier than it is,

1282
00:54:45,194 --> 00:54:46,892
what are the dangers of that?

1283
00:54:46,979 --> 00:54:48,937
I can eat everything I want!

1284
00:54:49,024 --> 00:54:50,809
As much as I want!

1285
00:54:50,896 --> 00:54:53,551
And I'll be just fine
and the calories won't count.

1286
00:54:53,638 --> 00:54:54,726
Not the case.

1287
00:54:54,813 --> 00:54:57,032
Unfortunately, no.

1288
00:54:57,119 --> 00:55:00,601
I mean, what you
care about is the calories,
the salt, and the sugar.

1289
00:55:00,688 --> 00:55:02,299
And those mostly
haven't changed.

1290
00:55:02,386 --> 00:55:03,952
Right.

1291
00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:07,652
If you show people two
of the exact same food,

1292
00:55:07,739 --> 00:55:11,046
and you label one as green
and the other one as not green,

1293
00:55:11,133 --> 00:55:13,353
they think the green one
has fewer calories.

1294
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,877
-Yeah.
-Those studies have been done.

1295
00:55:15,964 --> 00:55:21,840
And the food companies are
counting on human behavior

1296
00:55:21,927 --> 00:55:23,929
to increase the sales.

1297
00:55:24,016 --> 00:55:28,325
And if people will
buy more because there
are salads there.

1298
00:55:28,412 --> 00:55:30,414
-Mm-hmm.
-They'll put salads there.

1299
00:55:30,501 --> 00:55:35,114
-Yes.
-It's their job to sell
as much product as possible,

1300
00:55:35,201 --> 00:55:37,508
maximize shareholder value,

1301
00:55:37,595 --> 00:55:40,902
and please Wall Street
with growth every 90 days.

1302
00:55:40,989 --> 00:55:43,427
That's their job.

1303
00:55:43,514 --> 00:55:46,865
What if there was a company
that was completely honest
with their customers?

1304
00:55:47,953 --> 00:55:49,607
Well, why would they do that?

1305
00:56:01,488 --> 00:56:03,447
-[Morgan] Look at it.
-[David] Here we go.

1306
00:56:04,491 --> 00:56:06,841
-It's a Wendy's.
-It's real.

1307
00:56:06,928 --> 00:56:09,844
-[Andrew] Looks
strangely familiar.
-[Morgan] Yeah?

1308
00:56:09,931 --> 00:56:12,499
And I got the magic key.

1309
00:56:14,196 --> 00:56:16,808
-All right.
-Ooh, yeah.

1310
00:56:16,895 --> 00:56:19,071
-[David] Wow.
-I'll turn on the lights.

1311
00:56:20,681 --> 00:56:22,988
[chuckling] This doesn't
look dangerous at all.

1312
00:56:23,075 --> 00:56:24,468
Look at this thing.

1313
00:56:24,555 --> 00:56:26,513
See the mouse trap
down at the bottom?

1314
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:28,820
All mine.

1315
00:56:28,907 --> 00:56:32,084
Um, all right. Let's just start
flipping and see what happens.

1316
00:56:35,957 --> 00:56:38,307
-No?
-No, nothing. Keep
doing that, thought.

1317
00:56:39,221 --> 00:56:40,875
[dramatic music]

1318
00:56:44,357 --> 00:56:46,315
-[Andrew] Hey!
-[applause]

1319
00:56:46,403 --> 00:56:47,926
We're on--we're in business.

1320
00:56:49,841 --> 00:56:52,800
Hey, wow, it's even
better in the light.

1321
00:56:52,887 --> 00:56:55,324
Welcome to your
fluorescent-lit restaurant.

1322
00:56:58,632 --> 00:57:00,547
Let's take this baby over.

1323
00:57:01,592 --> 00:57:03,376
American dream, right here.

1324
00:57:03,463 --> 00:57:04,638
American dream.

1325
00:57:06,074 --> 00:57:07,511
There are so many possibilities.

1326
00:57:07,598 --> 00:57:09,164
Like, will you just look
at the wall space.

1327
00:57:09,251 --> 00:57:11,776
This wall, it's
your entrance, right?

1328
00:57:11,863 --> 00:57:13,734
So have a kind of a--our story.

1329
00:57:13,821 --> 00:57:15,823
I love the little nooks.
I love the windows.

1330
00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:17,738
-Bringing the nature in.
-Yeah.

1331
00:57:17,825 --> 00:57:19,436
The traffic going by.

1332
00:57:21,916 --> 00:57:23,962
Good propaganda space,
right here.

1333
00:57:24,049 --> 00:57:26,312
That's right.
Chicken farmer hall of fame.

1334
00:57:26,399 --> 00:57:29,141
We're gonna have lines,
and I almost feel we just
want to keep that.

1335
00:57:29,228 --> 00:57:31,186
[David]
Definitely like the corral.

1336
00:57:31,273 --> 00:57:34,363
We have a fryer here,
where we'll fry the chicken.

1337
00:57:35,147 --> 00:57:36,322
That's local water.

1338
00:57:36,409 --> 00:57:37,889
-Artisanal city water.
-Yeah.

1339
00:57:37,976 --> 00:57:40,413
I love this; small meat;
large meat.

1340
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:42,328
[laughter]

1341
00:57:42,415 --> 00:57:44,069
I love that it's an old Wendy's.

1342
00:57:44,156 --> 00:57:47,115
We do need to think through
our loyalty program.

1343
00:57:47,202 --> 00:57:48,465
Next!

1344
00:57:49,509 --> 00:57:51,511
[Morgan laughs] I like it.

Let's go to work.

1355
00:58:23,543 --> 00:58:25,545
Morning. How we doing?

1356
00:58:30,811 --> 00:58:32,813
Look like you growed
some behemoths.

1357
00:58:32,900 --> 00:58:34,902
I can't believe
how big they are.

1358
00:58:34,989 --> 00:58:36,904
Should we weigh a couple?
See how they're doing?

1359
00:58:36,991 --> 00:58:37,992
Yeah.

1360
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:39,428
[chicken clucks]

1361
00:58:40,299 --> 00:58:41,953
-Six one.
-Six one.

1362
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,042
-That's a big bird.
-Come on, buddy.

1363
00:58:44,129 --> 00:58:46,697
[Morgan] Six pounds and one
ounce might not seem like a lot.

1364
00:58:46,784 --> 00:58:49,003
That is until you get
a better perspective.

1365
00:58:49,090 --> 00:58:52,441
You see, if we humans
grew at the same rate
as the modern-day broiler,

1366
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:57,359
a two-month-old baby
would weigh in at
a whopping 660 pounds.

1367
00:58:57,446 --> 00:58:59,057
That... is a big boy.

1368
00:58:59,144 --> 00:59:01,015
When they sent over
my Ross 308 chicks,

1369
00:59:01,102 --> 00:59:03,235
they sent over a little,
small white chicken.

1370
00:59:03,322 --> 00:59:06,978
But as these have grown,
this one didn't grow.

1371
00:59:08,414 --> 00:59:10,590
He was right out here
a second ago.

1372
00:59:10,677 --> 00:59:12,287
Here he is. He's fast.

1373
00:59:12,374 --> 00:59:13,898
He's like a road runner.

1374
00:59:15,421 --> 00:59:16,727
Now, that was impressive.

1375
00:59:16,814 --> 00:59:19,599
Come here, big boy.
There you go.

1376
00:59:19,686 --> 00:59:22,036
This chicken,
just like God made him.

1377
00:59:22,123 --> 00:59:23,516
That chicken--

1378
00:59:23,603 --> 00:59:25,692
-Just like Dr. God made him.
-Yes.

1379
00:59:25,779 --> 00:59:27,912
And you can see
he's gonna keep growing
like a normal chicken.

1380
00:59:27,999 --> 00:59:30,305
And this is how big my
Schwarzenegger chickens

1381
00:59:30,392 --> 00:59:32,394
have been bred to grow.

1382
00:59:32,481 --> 00:59:34,745
Six times the size.

1383
00:59:34,832 --> 00:59:37,051
They'll get up
and move a little bit
and then they'll just drop.

1384
00:59:37,138 --> 00:59:39,663
But that kind of rapid growth
has come at a heavy cost

1385
00:59:39,750 --> 00:59:41,316
for some of my birds.

1386
00:59:41,403 --> 00:59:43,449
Here we got three dead birds,
right here.

1387
00:59:43,536 --> 00:59:46,104
They're starting
to have heart attacks
because they're so big.

1388
00:59:46,191 --> 00:59:47,279
There's one.

1389
00:59:47,366 --> 00:59:48,846
Let's keep looking.

1390
00:59:48,933 --> 00:59:50,238
Here's another one.

1391
00:59:50,325 --> 00:59:51,979
This one got his leg
up in the air.

1392
00:59:52,066 --> 00:59:53,981
-Probably had a heart attack.
-He's even stiff.

1393
00:59:54,068 --> 00:59:55,809
Like, rigor mortis has set in.

1394
00:59:56,723 --> 00:59:58,551
There's another dead one.

1395
00:59:58,638 --> 01:00:00,988
A lot of chickens, when they're
growing really fast,

1396
01:00:01,075 --> 01:00:02,990
they'll form a fluid around
the heart, and they'll die
with a heart attack.

1397
01:00:03,077 --> 01:00:05,514
If they weren't having any
heart attacks, we'd say,

1398
01:00:05,602 --> 01:00:08,169
well, they're not growing too
fast, there's something wrong.

1399
01:00:08,256 --> 01:00:11,172
It's not often you hear,
they're doing well so they're
having heart attacks.

1400
01:00:11,259 --> 01:00:12,609
Right.

1401
01:00:12,696 --> 01:00:14,349
Which is a good thing
in chickens.

1402
01:00:14,436 --> 01:00:15,960
See, bigger is better.

1403
01:00:16,047 --> 01:00:17,831
-It's the American way.
-Bigger is better.

1404
01:00:21,618 --> 01:00:26,318
As with any bird
that is supposed to grow,
you know, so fast,

1405
01:00:26,405 --> 01:00:29,364
-Yeah.
-You can have a lot of problems
with their growing.

1406
01:00:30,539 --> 01:00:31,802
You can have obesity.

1407
01:00:31,889 --> 01:00:33,107
Bone issues.

1408
01:00:33,194 --> 01:00:34,239
Sudden death syndrome.

1409
01:00:34,326 --> 01:00:35,327
Heart attacks.

1410
01:00:35,414 --> 01:00:36,415
Gumboro disease.

1411
01:00:36,502 --> 01:00:37,808
Newcastle disease.

1412
01:00:37,895 --> 01:00:39,679
Salmonella,
infectious Bronchitis.

1413
01:00:39,766 --> 01:00:41,159
Mycoplasmosis.

1414
01:00:41,246 --> 01:00:42,769
Many different
strains of E. coli.

1415
01:00:42,856 --> 01:00:44,423
Campylobacteriosis.

1416
01:00:44,510 --> 01:00:45,816
Pasturellosis.

1417
01:00:45,903 --> 01:00:47,339
Or green muscle disease.

1418
01:00:47,426 --> 01:00:49,776
-[Morgan] That is so wrong.
-[laughs]

1419
01:00:49,863 --> 01:00:51,560
So, where should we start?

1420
01:00:51,648 --> 01:00:53,998
Well, I would like
to start with an autopsy.

1421
01:00:54,085 --> 01:00:55,608
OK.

1422
01:00:58,698 --> 01:01:01,005
Here is your sample
of mortality, right?

1423
01:01:01,092 --> 01:01:02,310
Yes. OK.

1424
01:01:02,397 --> 01:01:04,486
Oh, let me tie you up.

1425
01:01:04,573 --> 01:01:07,359
My chicken necropsy kit.
[chuckles]

1426
01:01:09,448 --> 01:01:11,102
OK, chicken.

1427
01:01:11,189 --> 01:01:14,627
This checks
for salmonella or E. coli.

1428
01:01:14,714 --> 01:01:17,064
[laughs]

1429
01:01:17,151 --> 01:01:18,979
This is the breast muscle,
right.

1430
01:01:20,328 --> 01:01:22,504
Now, this is a very large bird.

1431
01:01:22,591 --> 01:01:25,464
They're nice, white,
plump, and juicy.

1432
01:01:25,551 --> 01:01:28,336
All of these birds are very
large and well-fleshed.

1433
01:01:28,423 --> 01:01:32,166
Oh. Routinely these hip joints
in these chickens are necrosed,

1434
01:01:32,253 --> 01:01:34,212
one of the emerging
diseases that came up

1435
01:01:34,299 --> 01:01:36,823
when these birds
started getting so large.

1436
01:01:36,910 --> 01:01:38,564
Sometimes it breaks totally.

1437
01:01:38,651 --> 01:01:40,305
-Other times...
-It pops off.

1438
01:01:40,392 --> 01:01:42,220
Yeah, it just pops right off.

1439
01:01:42,307 --> 01:01:44,222
-Here we do have a little curve.
-Mm-hmm.

1440
01:01:44,309 --> 01:01:47,616
That could be potentially
linked to the weight
of the bird.

1441
01:01:47,704 --> 01:01:50,184
This bone is brittle,
it fractured.

1442
01:01:50,271 --> 01:01:51,925
They just can't
support themselves.

1443
01:01:52,012 --> 01:01:54,754
Exactly. So this is
a common thing.

1444
01:01:54,841 --> 01:01:57,714
I see it a lot
in these larger birds.

1445
01:01:57,801 --> 01:02:00,194
-Would that have
caused its death?
-No.

1446
01:02:00,281 --> 01:02:02,501
Oh, why did you die?

1447
01:02:02,588 --> 01:02:04,111
Now we're going to open it up.

1448
01:02:04,198 --> 01:02:07,419
Let me get
my coracoids' crunchers.

1449
01:02:07,506 --> 01:02:08,681
[snapping sound]

1450
01:02:10,204 --> 01:02:12,380
OK.

1451
01:02:12,467 --> 01:02:15,296
-The heart muscle
seems to have failed.
-OK.

1452
01:02:15,383 --> 01:02:18,169
It's just a normal thing,
pretty much run-of-the-mill.

1453
01:02:18,256 --> 01:02:20,954
This is very much something
you only see in these types
of bred chickens.

1454
01:02:21,041 --> 01:02:22,390
-Yes.
-Yeah.

1455
01:02:22,477 --> 01:02:24,088
They're growing really,
really fast.

1456
01:02:24,175 --> 01:02:26,003
-So it puts a strain
on the heart.
-OK.

1457
01:02:26,090 --> 01:02:28,222
But I think you've got
a pretty healthy flock, here.

1458
01:02:28,309 --> 01:02:29,963
They're going to be safe to eat.

1459
01:02:30,050 --> 01:02:31,922
I'm facing the same thing
everybody else does.

1460
01:02:32,009 --> 01:02:33,488
-Yes.
-Yeah.

1461
01:02:41,453 --> 01:02:43,716
So I just got a letter
sent to my office

1462
01:02:43,803 --> 01:02:47,502
and I'm just gonna read it
to you because it's
pretty unbelievable.

1463
01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:50,418
"Good morning
State Poultry Federation Reps,

1464
01:02:50,505 --> 01:02:54,074
I wanted to make you aware
that Morgan Spurlock
from "Supersize Me"

1465
01:02:54,161 --> 01:02:56,250
is working on a documentary

1466
01:02:56,337 --> 01:02:58,775
with a working title
of 'Chicken.'

1467
01:02:58,862 --> 01:03:01,386
He's been calling companies
with vague inquiries

1468
01:03:01,473 --> 01:03:04,084
about what it takes
to become a grower.

1469
01:03:04,171 --> 01:03:06,565
Spurlock has also reached out
to bank lenders

1470
01:03:06,652 --> 01:03:07,914
trying to get information.

1471
01:03:08,001 --> 01:03:09,611
Recently, one lender mentioned

1472
01:03:09,698 --> 01:03:12,005
that Spurlock was looking
to get a chicken farm

1473
01:03:12,092 --> 01:03:13,920
calling from a New York number.

1474
01:03:14,007 --> 01:03:15,835
The lender asked if
he was the filmmaker,

1475
01:03:15,922 --> 01:03:18,533
and his reply
'yes, and a chicken farmer.'"

1476
01:03:18,620 --> 01:03:20,840
[man on phone]
Are you a filmmaker?

1477
01:03:20,927 --> 01:03:23,364
Am I a filmmaker?
Yeah, and a chicken farmer.

1478
01:03:24,017 --> 01:03:25,453
[man chuckles]

1479
01:03:25,540 --> 01:03:27,325
Then it goes on to say,
"It is unclear

1480
01:03:27,412 --> 01:03:30,023
if he is working with
any activist or other groups.

1481
01:03:30,110 --> 01:03:32,504
We will keep you apprised
of any new developments

1482
01:03:32,591 --> 01:03:35,724
but wanted to make sure
you were aware and alert.

1483
01:03:35,812 --> 01:03:38,989
If you have any further
information or know people
who have been contacted,

1484
01:03:39,076 --> 01:03:40,251
please let me know.

1485
01:03:40,338 --> 01:03:42,557
Thank you, Thomas Super,

1486
01:03:42,644 --> 01:03:44,908
Senior Vice President
Communications
the National Chicken Council."

1487
01:03:44,995 --> 01:03:48,650
Now, the National Chicken
Council is the big lobby group
for Big Chicken.

1488
01:03:48,737 --> 01:03:51,392
Like, every Big Chicken company
gives money to them

1489
01:03:51,479 --> 01:03:55,527
to kind of help them lobby
on behalf of their interests
in Washington and beyond.

1490
01:03:55,614 --> 01:03:58,878
And so, the reps hand-deliver
these letters to the farmers,

1491
01:03:58,965 --> 01:04:00,575
and that's how I got it.

1492
01:04:00,662 --> 01:04:03,100
A farmer read the letter,
saw my phone number,

1493
01:04:03,187 --> 01:04:06,190
and called, and the farmer said,
"Listen, it says here you're
looking to buy a farm.

1494
01:04:06,277 --> 01:04:08,235
We're struggling, we're trying
to make ends meet.

1495
01:04:08,322 --> 01:04:10,194
If you want to buy one,
buy mine."

1496
01:04:11,717 --> 01:04:13,458
It's all so bizarre.

1497
01:04:13,545 --> 01:04:15,895
The fact that all these
companies are colluding together

1498
01:04:15,982 --> 01:04:17,897
to kind of talk to
the National Chicken Council

1499
01:04:17,984 --> 01:04:21,553
to kind of block me
from talking to farmers,

1500
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,121
to growers,
to getting chickens, to banks.

1501
01:04:24,208 --> 01:04:27,646
It's like, you have to ask
yourself, what are they
trying to hide?

1502
01:04:29,822 --> 01:04:33,478
I call, basically, the chicken
industry one large mafia.

1503
01:04:33,565 --> 01:04:35,088
-Yeah?
-Myself.

1504
01:04:35,175 --> 01:04:36,916
There's even the possibility

1505
01:04:37,003 --> 01:04:39,005
they're gonna retaliate
against me for speaking out.

1506
01:04:40,441 --> 01:04:41,616
Thank you.

1507
01:04:41,703 --> 01:04:43,053
'Cause they don't want anybody

1508
01:04:43,140 --> 01:04:45,011
telling about what's
actually going on

1509
01:04:45,098 --> 01:04:46,534
inside the chicken companies.

1510
01:04:46,621 --> 01:04:48,797
Yeah, explain to me,
what do we not know?

1511
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:53,411
What do I, as a consumer,
not understand about
the chicken business?

1512
01:04:53,498 --> 01:04:56,022
I don't think a consumer
understands anything about it

1513
01:04:56,109 --> 01:04:58,372
other than what they see
in a grocery store.

1514
01:04:58,459 --> 01:05:00,374
Mm-hmm. I see a chicken
that I get to buy,

1515
01:05:00,461 --> 01:05:02,028
and I get to take home,
and that's it.

1516
01:05:02,115 --> 01:05:05,640
That's right. That's all
you see. You don't see...

1517
01:05:05,727 --> 01:05:08,643
maybe, how sick
those chickens were

1518
01:05:08,730 --> 01:05:10,776
at times. You don't see...

1519
01:05:10,863 --> 01:05:13,605
-how mistreated the farmer is.
-Yeah.

1520
01:05:13,692 --> 01:05:16,390
We used to get paid,
just like, so much a pound.

1521
01:05:16,477 --> 01:05:19,872
-Yeah.
-And everybody basically
made the same.

1522
01:05:19,959 --> 01:05:21,874
Now, the way that they
pay the chicken farmer,

1523
01:05:21,961 --> 01:05:24,398
they have him competing
against other farmers.

1524
01:05:24,485 --> 01:05:25,834
Right.

1525
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:27,488
The grower that
has the best bird,

1526
01:05:27,575 --> 01:05:29,403
-he gets the top pay.
-OK.

1527
01:05:29,490 --> 01:05:31,971
And from the top pay
to the bottom pay...

1528
01:05:33,277 --> 01:05:35,801
is a lot of money.

1529
01:05:35,888 --> 01:05:37,324
-Wow.
-Yeah.

1530
01:05:37,411 --> 01:05:39,370
This is called
the tournament system.

1531
01:05:39,457 --> 01:05:42,199
[Morgan]
The tournament system is
a merit-based competition

1532
01:05:42,286 --> 01:05:44,766
that pits farmers like Jonathan
against other growers.

1533
01:05:44,853 --> 01:05:46,725
It works like this.

1534
01:05:46,812 --> 01:05:49,684
Each farmer's performance is
ranked according to a formula

1535
01:05:49,771 --> 01:05:52,687
which factors in things like
how much the birds weigh,

1536
01:05:52,774 --> 01:05:53,819
how much they eat,

1537
01:05:53,906 --> 01:05:55,386
and how many total chickens

1538
01:05:55,473 --> 01:05:57,083
actually made it to slaughter.

1539
01:05:57,170 --> 01:05:59,129
Big Chicken makes
the farmers compete

1540
01:05:59,216 --> 01:06:01,740
for a set amount
of the chicken pot pie.

1541
01:06:01,827 --> 01:06:05,439
And farmers who perform
well earn more money
per pound of chicken.

1542
01:06:05,526 --> 01:06:08,442
Farmers performing poorly
earn less.

1543
01:06:08,529 --> 01:06:11,968
But here's where farmers
think it becomes unfair.

1544
01:06:12,055 --> 01:06:16,581
Remember, Big Chicken
dictates every aspect of how
the chicks are grown.

1545
01:06:16,668 --> 01:06:19,540
So if you get a flock
of sick birds, doesn't matter.

1546
01:06:19,627 --> 01:06:21,368
If the company
ships female chicks

1547
01:06:21,455 --> 01:06:23,805
that don't grow
very big, tough luck.

1548
01:06:23,892 --> 01:06:26,765
If your birds won't eat
the stale feed
they're delivered,

1549
01:06:26,852 --> 01:06:28,810
well, that's just too bad.

1550
01:06:28,897 --> 01:06:30,987
So there's technically
competition,

1551
01:06:31,074 --> 01:06:36,427
but to farmers like Jonathan,
the whole system
just feels rigged.

1552
01:06:36,514 --> 01:06:38,690
[Jonathan] I hate the tournament
system. It's terrible.

1553
01:06:38,777 --> 01:06:41,214
They figured out a legal way of
stealing from people.

1554
01:06:41,301 --> 01:06:43,129
-Right.
-And making them more money.

1555
01:06:43,216 --> 01:06:44,957
But the arguments
from the industry will be,

1556
01:06:45,044 --> 01:06:47,481
we live in a capitalistic
society, you know?

1557
01:06:47,568 --> 01:06:49,527
We're a business, we're
supposed to make money.

1558
01:06:49,614 --> 01:06:52,051
So from their standpoint,
and they say listen,

1559
01:06:52,138 --> 01:06:54,271
we're just trying to make
as much money as we can.
What's wrong with that?

1560
01:06:54,358 --> 01:06:57,926
Well, there's not
anything wrong with making
as much money as you can

1561
01:06:58,014 --> 01:06:59,972
unless you're doing harm
somewhere else.

1562
01:07:00,059 --> 01:07:02,453
And they're doing harm
somewhere else.

1563
01:07:02,540 --> 01:07:05,586
-Yeah.
-If you are on the bottom
in this ranking system,

1564
01:07:05,673 --> 01:07:09,503
there's not enough money
to pay your payments, your
electric bills and all that.

1565
01:07:09,590 --> 01:07:12,941
And too many times
I've seen a young farmer
borrow all this money

1566
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:14,726
then lose everything he's got.

1567
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:16,989
It's--it's not right.

1568
01:07:17,076 --> 01:07:19,731
-Thank you.
-Nothing we say counts.

1569
01:07:19,818 --> 01:07:23,039
We have no input, no say.

1570
01:07:23,126 --> 01:07:25,650
When you speak out,
what happens when...

1571
01:07:25,737 --> 01:07:28,174
they basically try to punish
you, I guess, in some way?

1572
01:07:28,261 --> 01:07:29,828
With the tournament system,

1573
01:07:29,915 --> 01:07:32,787
it doesn't take much
to go from top to bottom.

1574
01:07:32,874 --> 01:07:35,355
Integrators can manipulate
the paper, the feed,

1575
01:07:35,442 --> 01:07:37,488
actual chicks coming
out of the hatchery.

1576
01:07:37,575 --> 01:07:39,446
They can pick
the bad flocks of chicks,

1577
01:07:39,533 --> 01:07:42,014
bring 'em to your farm,
and you won't do very well.

1578
01:07:42,536 --> 01:07:43,668
Yeah.

1579
01:07:43,755 --> 01:07:45,583
I did a newspaper interview,

1580
01:07:45,670 --> 01:07:48,629
and after the interview,
my pay dropped 5,000 per flock.

1581
01:07:48,716 --> 01:07:51,806
-$5,000 a flock?
-$5,000 a flock.

1582
01:07:51,893 --> 01:07:53,112
They get it in for you...

1583
01:07:54,113 --> 01:07:55,810
they're your worst nightmare.

1584
01:07:59,684 --> 01:08:02,556
[Morgan]
The tournament system is used by
all the major chicken companies.

1585
01:08:02,643 --> 01:08:05,255
And according to the
National Chicken Council, quote,

1586
01:08:05,342 --> 01:08:08,127
"Everyone benefits,
including the farmers,

1587
01:08:08,214 --> 01:08:11,913
who are compensated
according to the quality
and care of their chickens."

1588
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,265
They also claim, quote,
"Chicken farmers are happy

1589
01:08:15,352 --> 01:08:20,966
and in many cases feel more
secure in the current system."

1590
01:08:21,053 --> 01:08:24,926
Growers are accusing
Tyson Foods of rigging
the way they are paid.

1591
01:08:25,013 --> 01:08:27,494
[news reporter]
Ten farmers sued the company
in Hopkins County,

1592
01:08:27,581 --> 01:08:31,629
claiming a tournament system
used to pay them is being
used against them.

1593
01:08:33,326 --> 01:08:36,808
Can you break down, kind of,
what the--what the claims are?

1594
01:08:36,895 --> 01:08:39,115
What are you guys
claiming in the lawsuit?

1595
01:08:39,202 --> 01:08:42,074
Well, basically,
what we're--what we're saying,
Morgan is that, um...

1596
01:08:42,161 --> 01:08:44,685
the tournament system
is patently unfair.

1597
01:08:44,772 --> 01:08:48,776
-Mm-hmm.
-If you're gonna have growers
compete against each other,

1598
01:08:48,863 --> 01:08:51,170
everybody has to
be treated equally.

1599
01:08:51,257 --> 01:08:53,825
And that's not even close to
what's happening in this case.

1600
01:08:53,912 --> 01:08:55,479
-Yeah.
-More often than not,

1601
01:08:55,566 --> 01:08:58,960
Tyson manipulates
the variables that are used

1602
01:08:59,047 --> 01:09:00,397
to rank these fellas.

1603
01:09:06,272 --> 01:09:08,318
[Morgan]
How many houses do you have?

1604
01:09:08,405 --> 01:09:09,928
[Charles]
I've got 52 chicken houses.

1605
01:09:10,015 --> 01:09:12,278
-Fifty-two?
-Yes, sir.

1606
01:09:12,365 --> 01:09:15,020
We'll have one do good,
one'll do bad, one'll do good,
one'll do bad.

1607
01:09:15,107 --> 01:09:16,456
One will stay in the middle.

1608
01:09:16,543 --> 01:09:18,458
It's just a roller coaster.

1609
01:09:18,545 --> 01:09:20,765
You could sell one farmer birds
this week and be number one.

1610
01:09:20,852 --> 01:09:21,983
And then eight weeks later--

1611
01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:23,898
It don't have to be eight weeks.

1612
01:09:23,985 --> 01:09:25,857
You could sell a farmer birds
next week and be dead last.

1613
01:09:25,944 --> 01:09:28,599
So when something like that
happens, what-what changed?

1614
01:09:28,686 --> 01:09:30,296
My water didn't change.

1615
01:09:30,383 --> 01:09:32,080
My settings didn't change.

1616
01:09:32,168 --> 01:09:34,648
My--You know,
we didn't change anything.

1617
01:09:34,735 --> 01:09:37,477
The temperature's the same,
the water consumption's
the same, everything's the same,

1618
01:09:37,564 --> 01:09:40,698
but the only variables
is the chicken and
the feed that you get.

1619
01:09:40,785 --> 01:09:43,309
It's the variables
that you get from Tyson.

1620
01:09:43,396 --> 01:09:45,529
Yeah, so you go from being
a great chicken farmer
to a terrible chicken farmer.

1621
01:09:45,616 --> 01:09:48,793
A-a-and... six months
down the road you can
be out of business.

1622
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,361
We hear the same complaint

1623
01:09:51,448 --> 01:09:54,320
from all these growers,
all across the country.

1624
01:09:54,407 --> 01:09:56,104
They're saying the same thing.

1625
01:09:56,192 --> 01:09:58,150
-Yeah.
-And it tells me...

1626
01:09:58,237 --> 01:10:03,286
that they're a victim of
the same corrupt, rigged system.

1627
01:10:03,373 --> 01:10:07,028
Tyson's got an incentive to
make sure that these guys stay

1628
01:10:07,115 --> 01:10:09,509
-in debt.
-Why?

1629
01:10:09,596 --> 01:10:11,555
Because then they
have control over them.

1630
01:10:11,642 --> 01:10:13,774
They know a man in debt,
you know, is--

1631
01:10:13,861 --> 01:10:17,735
he needs that next
flock of chickens to--
just to survive.

1632
01:10:17,822 --> 01:10:20,607
Did they ask you for anything
in particular when you
get those contracts?

1633
01:10:20,694 --> 01:10:21,782
Yes, sir.

1634
01:10:21,869 --> 01:10:23,306
I've had to put in new heaters

1635
01:10:23,393 --> 01:10:25,003
in order to keep up
with the contract.

1636
01:10:25,090 --> 01:10:27,223
That was about
an $80,000 upgrade.

1637
01:10:27,310 --> 01:10:29,050
-New controllers.
-Yeah.

1638
01:10:29,137 --> 01:10:31,314
New lighting and stuff
when I got my last contract.

1639
01:10:31,401 --> 01:10:33,577
You get barely above the water
and that's where they want you.

1640
01:10:33,664 --> 01:10:36,232
Or you gotta upgrade
for the next contract...

1641
01:10:37,450 --> 01:10:40,366
and--and so
you're back in debt.

1642
01:10:44,675 --> 01:10:46,372
[typing]

1643
01:10:46,459 --> 01:10:48,331
-[Morgan] Thanks for doing this.
-Sure.

1644
01:10:48,418 --> 01:10:51,899
So, um, when did you work
at Tyson and for how long?

1645
01:10:51,986 --> 01:10:55,076
[voice distortion]
I worked for Tyson Foods
for well over five years.

1646
01:10:55,163 --> 01:10:56,730
I was a field representative.

1647
01:10:56,817 --> 01:11:00,168
I saw several things
that I didn't...

1648
01:11:00,256 --> 01:11:04,260
didn't agree with morally, where
certain growers were treated...

1649
01:11:04,347 --> 01:11:05,913
differently than other growers,

1650
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,916
and I have seen the system
being manipulated.

1651
01:11:09,003 --> 01:11:11,702
[Morgan]
What were the incidents
that stand out in your mind?

1652
01:11:11,789 --> 01:11:15,880
Uh, certain supervisors
instructed me to go out
and to make sure

1653
01:11:15,967 --> 01:11:19,057
that I used every
available option I had

1654
01:11:19,144 --> 01:11:22,060
to control
contract grower farms.

1655
01:11:23,757 --> 01:11:26,934
Tyson and other integrators
will force upgrades

1656
01:11:27,021 --> 01:11:30,721
when they're not necessarily
needed as a control mechanism

1657
01:11:30,808 --> 01:11:33,376
to keep people
under their thumb.

1658
01:11:33,463 --> 01:11:36,422
[Morgan]
So Tyson purposely
keeps farmers in debt?

1659
01:11:37,902 --> 01:11:42,036
In my opinion,
the debt is encouraged.

1660
01:11:42,123 --> 01:11:45,779
[Morgan]
Then why do you believe
Tyson... rigs the system?

1661
01:11:46,780 --> 01:11:48,434
To simply control.

1662
01:11:48,521 --> 01:11:50,218
If you're running a business,
don't you want

1663
01:11:50,306 --> 01:11:52,264
as much control over
that business as you can have?

1664
01:11:55,093 --> 01:11:57,574
[on computer]
One of the greatest things
that we have to sustain

1665
01:11:57,661 --> 01:11:59,532
is our relationship with
our farmers.

1666
01:11:59,619 --> 01:12:01,752
Because without
that relationship

1667
01:12:01,839 --> 01:12:03,536
we don't have a business.

1668
01:12:03,623 --> 01:12:07,323
Our relationship is
the cornerstone of who we are.

1669
01:12:07,410 --> 01:12:10,500
[former representative]
Tyson is controlling
family farmers.

1670
01:12:10,587 --> 01:12:12,589
And that's probably what
hits me the hardest...

1671
01:12:12,676 --> 01:12:14,678
[on computer]
They care about what
they're doing out there.

1672
01:12:14,765 --> 01:12:17,333
It's their house,
it's their livelihood.

1673
01:12:17,420 --> 01:12:19,552
...because they're
in my community.

1674
01:12:19,639 --> 01:12:22,512
These are people that I've
known for multiple years.

1675
01:12:22,599 --> 01:12:25,993
I've known their children.
I've watched some
of their children grow up.

1676
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,562
Our farmer partners are
critical to our success.

1677
01:12:29,649 --> 01:12:33,044
We're critical to their success.
That's their livelihood.

1678
01:12:36,047 --> 01:12:38,615
[former representative]
You know what really
gets under my skin,

1679
01:12:38,702 --> 01:12:41,618
is when I have to watch
a commercial about somebody

1680
01:12:41,705 --> 01:12:45,143
saying how big we're a family
farmer and how much
we support these guys,

1681
01:12:45,230 --> 01:12:46,449
and you really don't do that.

1682
01:12:46,536 --> 01:12:48,015
Don't lie to my face.

1683
01:12:53,107 --> 01:12:55,501
Once you build
that chicken house,

1684
01:12:55,588 --> 01:12:57,808
enter into that agreement,

1685
01:12:57,895 --> 01:12:59,810
then you're trapped
in that system.

1686
01:12:59,897 --> 01:13:02,465
The farmer...

1687
01:13:02,552 --> 01:13:04,815
he's an indentured servant.

1688
01:13:04,902 --> 01:13:07,513
I mean, he owes all
this money and the only way
he can pay it back is

1689
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,080
through growing chickens.

1690
01:13:10,255 --> 01:13:11,430
There have been many...

1691
01:13:12,083 --> 01:13:13,911
uh...

1692
01:13:13,998 --> 01:13:16,087
men and women...

1693
01:13:16,174 --> 01:13:18,176
who have left as broken people.

1694
01:13:19,786 --> 01:13:22,180
[Charles]
It--it's just a vicious cycle.

1695
01:13:22,267 --> 01:13:23,921
They want to keep you enslaved.

1696
01:13:25,836 --> 01:13:28,316
It used to be good, though,
Morgan, it really did.

1697
01:13:28,404 --> 01:13:30,536
[Morgan]
Yeah.

1698
01:13:30,623 --> 01:13:33,278
So how much debt are you
carrying right now on 'em,
on all the houses?

1699
01:13:33,365 --> 01:13:36,237
On all the houses, I'd probably
say right around and--

1700
01:13:36,324 --> 01:13:37,587
around $4 million.

1701
01:13:37,674 --> 01:13:39,415
-Four million?
-Yes, sir.

1702
01:13:39,502 --> 01:13:42,809
I mean, I'm carrying...
this corporation on my back.

1703
01:13:42,896 --> 01:13:45,812
along with every other honest,
hardworking family farmer

1704
01:13:45,899 --> 01:13:48,336
in the country
that's growing chickens.

1705
01:13:48,424 --> 01:13:50,600
We're on call 24/7.

1706
01:13:50,687 --> 01:13:53,037
We didn't go anywhere away
from those chicken houses
for ten years.

1707
01:13:53,124 --> 01:13:55,213
Man, I've--I couldn't
even tell you.

1708
01:13:55,300 --> 01:14:00,305
Family reunions, I mean,
Christmas Day with the family.

1709
01:14:00,392 --> 01:14:03,308
I placed chickens two days
after my son died.

1710
01:14:07,007 --> 01:14:08,966
I can't tell you
the stress level of it.

1711
01:14:09,053 --> 01:14:12,143
The stress level of--
of dealing with a company

1712
01:14:12,230 --> 01:14:15,102
that tells you that everything
that happens is your fault

1713
01:14:15,189 --> 01:14:16,408
when you know different.

1714
01:14:19,672 --> 01:14:21,021
It's all about money.

1715
01:14:22,762 --> 01:14:27,114
These companies have their--
their thumb on these people.

1716
01:14:27,201 --> 01:14:28,986
And they know it.

1717
01:14:29,073 --> 01:14:32,076
And what's sad about it is
the growers know it, too.

1718
01:14:32,163 --> 01:14:34,470
I don't want anybody
to live like I do.

1719
01:14:35,732 --> 01:14:36,863
[Morgan]
How is that?

1720
01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:38,125
Well, I mean...

1721
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,091
'cause of this. [sniffs]

1722
01:14:50,573 --> 01:14:52,618
It's just not worth it.

1723
01:14:52,705 --> 01:14:55,621
This is a life I wish
nobody had to do.

1724
01:14:55,708 --> 01:14:56,927
[sniffs]

1725
01:15:26,304 --> 01:15:27,827
Hey.

1726
01:15:27,914 --> 01:15:29,525
I got your sheets.

1727
01:15:29,612 --> 01:15:31,788
Settlement on the last flock
of chickens I sold.

1728
01:15:33,790 --> 01:15:36,357
And it has me...

1729
01:15:36,444 --> 01:15:39,883
11 out of 11. I'm bottom
on the ranking system.

1730
01:15:39,970 --> 01:15:42,015
-You're in last place?
-I'm in last place.

1731
01:15:42,102 --> 01:15:43,843
But here's your check.

1732
01:15:45,410 --> 01:15:47,586
Yeah, I'm getting less money,
a lot less money.

1733
01:15:47,673 --> 01:15:51,721
For this flock, it's $11,980.

1734
01:15:51,808 --> 01:15:55,463
$5,000 they gypped me right
here on the ranking system.

1735
01:15:55,551 --> 01:15:57,944
-Yeah.
-$5,000 go a long way
paying your bills.

1736
01:15:58,031 --> 01:15:59,685
Right.

1737
01:15:59,772 --> 01:16:01,339
It's just one thing
after another, constantly.

1738
01:16:01,426 --> 01:16:03,515
-It never lets up.
-Yeah.

1739
01:16:03,602 --> 01:16:06,562
So with this, like, so--
so you're last place.

1740
01:16:06,649 --> 01:16:08,302
[Jonathan] Doesn't make sense.

1741
01:16:08,389 --> 01:16:11,305
I had the largest chicken
on the sheet.

1742
01:16:11,392 --> 01:16:13,960
[Morgan] When you see this...

1743
01:16:14,047 --> 01:16:16,310
is the company trying
to send you a message?

1744
01:16:16,397 --> 01:16:18,965
Sounds like it. They may
have found out about,

1745
01:16:19,052 --> 01:16:20,706
uh, what we're doing now.

1746
01:16:21,925 --> 01:16:23,796
Usually, anything like
that goes on,

1747
01:16:23,883 --> 01:16:25,450
they'll call and let
the companies know.

1748
01:16:25,537 --> 01:16:27,365
-Mm-hmm.
-Hey, there's something going on

1749
01:16:27,452 --> 01:16:30,803
that you may not know about
and so we can't trust anybody.

1750
01:16:33,545 --> 01:16:35,591
Man, that's terrible. I'm sorry.

1751
01:16:43,381 --> 01:16:46,340
[Morgan] So you're a third
generation chicken farmer.

1752
01:16:46,427 --> 01:16:48,168
You want your son
to be a chicken farmer?

1753
01:16:48,255 --> 01:16:51,215
Well, I did, but now
I wouldn't advise him to.

1754
01:16:51,302 --> 01:16:53,478
He's wanted to.

1755
01:16:53,565 --> 01:16:57,134
This is what I know.
It's what I was raised in.
I'm good at it.

1756
01:16:57,221 --> 01:17:00,093
I've got a skill to do things
that most couldn't,

1757
01:17:00,180 --> 01:17:03,923
but I watch him
get so stressed out

1758
01:17:04,010 --> 01:17:07,361
when stuff would go wrong
or happen that was
out of his control,

1759
01:17:07,448 --> 01:17:09,407
and I don't see myself
wanting to do it now

1760
01:17:09,494 --> 01:17:12,279
for the integrators
that I know are here.

1761
01:17:12,366 --> 01:17:14,020
Yeah.

1762
01:17:14,107 --> 01:17:15,848
The way that
the chicken company is,

1763
01:17:15,935 --> 01:17:18,024
he can't go ahead
and carry this on

1764
01:17:18,111 --> 01:17:20,070
and be the fourth generation
chicken farmer,

1765
01:17:20,157 --> 01:17:22,376
and he can't pass it on
to his son.

1766
01:17:22,463 --> 01:17:24,727
The legacy's stopping now.

1767
01:17:24,814 --> 01:17:26,293
-[Morgan] Really?
-[sighs]

1768
01:17:47,837 --> 01:17:49,926
[clucking]

1769
01:18:05,332 --> 01:18:07,073
Can you grab the drill?

1770
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:08,509
We're good to go.

1771
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,129
[Zack]
We can go ahead
and raise the waters.

1772
01:18:23,394 --> 01:18:25,657
Now, it's wait
till the catchers show up.

1773
01:18:28,529 --> 01:18:30,314
Is it normal
that I feel a little bad

1774
01:18:30,401 --> 01:18:32,490
that I sending my chickens
off to slaughter?

1775
01:18:32,577 --> 01:18:35,667
I think you would be not normal
if it didn't affect you.

1776
01:18:35,754 --> 01:18:38,191
Is it just because it's my
first flock, is that why?

1777
01:18:38,278 --> 01:18:41,934
Yeah, you got used to 'em and
you don't wanna see 'em die.

1778
01:18:42,021 --> 01:18:45,982
If you did this a hundred
or a thousand times,
it'd just be nonchalant.

1779
01:18:46,069 --> 01:18:47,810
Wouldn't worry you
or bother you a bit.

1780
01:18:47,897 --> 01:18:49,376
[truck beeping]

1781
01:18:52,989 --> 01:18:54,164
All right, fellas.

1782
01:18:54,773 --> 01:18:55,948
This is it.

1783
01:18:56,557 --> 01:18:57,733
[motor revs]

1784
01:19:08,091 --> 01:19:09,788
[dramatic music]

1785
01:19:25,108 --> 01:19:27,023
[chickens clucking]

1786
01:19:38,164 --> 01:19:39,557
[boy]
How many is in that one?

1787
01:19:39,644 --> 01:19:40,819
[Morgan]
Three.

1788
01:19:40,906 --> 01:19:42,168
-One more.
-Thank you.

1789
01:19:47,826 --> 01:19:49,088
Come on, get in there.

1790
01:19:55,791 --> 01:19:57,096
So far,

1791
01:19:57,183 --> 01:19:58,489
since we've just
been gathering them,

1792
01:19:58,576 --> 01:20:00,404
four have died of heart attacks.

1793
01:20:00,491 --> 01:20:02,798
[loud clucking]

1794
01:20:06,105 --> 01:20:07,846
Come on, big bird, get in there.

1795
01:21:02,161 --> 01:21:03,989
[sighs]

1796
01:21:04,076 --> 01:21:06,818
It's like all I look at now is
everything that has to be fixed;

1797
01:21:06,905 --> 01:21:09,690
cracks in the walls, things
that are all rusted through.

1798
01:21:09,777 --> 01:21:11,518
The vents have
to be functioning;

1799
01:21:11,605 --> 01:21:13,825
repair the holes;
things that are just dirty.

1800
01:21:13,912 --> 01:21:16,306
Everywhere you touch
is just greasy and sticky.

1801
01:21:16,393 --> 01:21:17,916
The list is huge.

1802
01:21:22,051 --> 01:21:23,313
[hammering]

1803
01:21:40,896 --> 01:21:43,420
Look at those delicious
grill marks on there.

1804
01:21:43,507 --> 01:21:45,204
-Charcoal powder.
-[Jeff] Yep.

1805
01:21:45,291 --> 01:21:48,338
We're going to do kind of a
natural looking feel.

1806
01:21:48,425 --> 01:21:50,470
Fixodent to glue parts.

1807
01:21:50,557 --> 01:21:53,038
K-Y Jelly, dab it on
and it sticks perfectly.

1808
01:21:54,518 --> 01:21:55,693
Drops.

1809
01:21:55,780 --> 01:21:56,868
[Morgan]
What is this?

1810
01:21:56,955 --> 01:21:57,956
[Jeff]
Glycerin.

1811
01:21:58,043 --> 01:21:59,436
Now I need the mustard.

1812
01:21:59,523 --> 01:22:01,655
-Scotchgard.
-[Morgan] Scotchgard.

1813
01:22:01,742 --> 01:22:03,222
I'll do them with Scotchgard.

1814
01:22:03,309 --> 01:22:05,529
It will give you nice drips
down the side.

1815
01:22:05,616 --> 01:22:07,661
That is the most
perfectly placed drip I've
ever seen in my life.

1816
01:22:07,748 --> 01:22:09,185
Little seeds.

1817
01:22:09,272 --> 01:22:10,882
Little more homemade-looking

1818
01:22:10,969 --> 01:22:12,492
goes in that farm-to-table
kind of feel.

1819
01:22:12,579 --> 01:22:13,972
Did you tweak
that dangler, Jeff?

1820
01:22:14,059 --> 01:22:15,191
Yes, I did.

1821
01:22:17,323 --> 01:22:19,847
Man, that is a good looking
chicken sandwich.

1822
01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:21,414
I'm gonna show you
a bunch of names.

1823
01:22:21,501 --> 01:22:22,546
Fantastic.

1824
01:22:22,633 --> 01:22:23,677
Peep No Evil.

1825
01:22:23,764 --> 01:22:24,722
Cluck and Dagger.

1826
01:22:24,809 --> 01:22:25,723
Charred & Feathered.

1827
01:22:25,810 --> 01:22:26,724
Conspiracy Chicken.

1828
01:22:26,811 --> 01:22:27,855
Goodbird.

1829
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:28,856
Flippin' the Bird.

1830
01:22:28,944 --> 01:22:29,857
Bird + Bun.

1831
01:22:29,945 --> 01:22:30,902
Dumb Cluck.

1832
01:22:30,989 --> 01:22:32,686
Mother Cluckers.

1833
01:22:32,773 --> 01:22:34,210
And of course, we're trying
to create Chicktopia.

1834
01:22:34,297 --> 01:22:35,646
Chickri-la.

1835
01:22:35,733 --> 01:22:37,082
So this is
a new size cup, right?

1836
01:22:37,169 --> 01:22:38,692
-Yeah.
-Squattier, smaller.

1837
01:22:38,779 --> 01:22:40,651
OK.

1838
01:22:40,738 --> 01:22:42,870
Then we've got our handwritten
messages on the cups.

1839
01:22:42,958 --> 01:22:44,307
[Morgan]
So there's a red sticker for
spicy, green for the regular.

1840
01:22:44,394 --> 01:22:46,135
-What about the wrapper?
-It's brown paper.

1841
01:22:46,222 --> 01:22:48,224
-It's good.
-[Andrew] Approved.

1842
01:23:02,151 --> 01:23:05,067
[Morgan]
Can you tell me the fast-food
experience you've had?

1843
01:23:05,154 --> 01:23:08,244
Four years restaurant
management experience.

1844
01:23:08,331 --> 01:23:09,680
-I'm a cook.
-Team leader.

1845
01:23:09,767 --> 01:23:11,203
Hamburger specialist.

1846
01:23:11,290 --> 01:23:12,596
-I started out at Chipotle.
-McDonald's.

1847
01:23:12,683 --> 01:23:13,858
-Jack in the Box.
-Chick-fil-A.

1848
01:23:13,945 --> 01:23:15,164
-Popeyes.
-White Castle.

1849
01:23:15,251 --> 01:23:16,295
-Burger King.
-Taco Bell.

1850
01:23:16,382 --> 01:23:17,905
-Wendy's.
-May pay is...

1851
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:20,212
-$7.25.
-$7.25.

1852
01:23:20,299 --> 01:23:23,650
$7.25 still, and I've been
in the industry of fast-food
for seven years.

1853
01:23:23,737 --> 01:23:24,869
There are no benefits.

1854
01:23:24,956 --> 01:23:26,262
There are no sick days.

1855
01:23:26,349 --> 01:23:27,654
You can either come
into work sick...

1856
01:23:27,741 --> 01:23:29,265
They'd be sneezing
on their hands.

1857
01:23:29,352 --> 01:23:30,962
Not trying to cough all over
everything but...

1858
01:23:31,049 --> 01:23:32,355
One job is not enough.

1859
01:23:32,442 --> 01:23:34,531
The working conditions sucks.

1860
01:23:34,618 --> 01:23:36,098
And that's just
the way that it is.

1861
01:23:36,185 --> 01:23:37,664
If you don't like it,
you can leave

1862
01:23:37,751 --> 01:23:38,665
and we'll find somebody else
to replace you.

1863
01:23:38,752 --> 01:23:39,840
Everyone's replaceable.

1864
01:23:41,799 --> 01:23:43,453
Welcome to Chicken
corporate training.

1865
01:23:43,540 --> 01:23:45,977
Whoo! Yes! [clucks]

1866
01:23:50,590 --> 01:23:51,939
Here's the most important part.

1867
01:23:52,027 --> 01:23:53,854
The flavor char station,

1868
01:23:53,941 --> 01:23:57,597
where you install
the flavor char marks.

1869
01:23:57,684 --> 01:23:59,121
And then... boom.

1870
01:23:59,208 --> 01:24:00,470
Grilled crispy
chicken sandwiches.

1871
01:24:00,557 --> 01:24:02,689
-[laughter]
-Right there.

1872
01:24:04,126 --> 01:24:05,823
The char marks on top.

1873
01:24:05,910 --> 01:24:07,259
Look at your build if
you ever have a question.

1874
01:24:07,346 --> 01:24:08,434
And then just across, right?

1875
01:24:08,521 --> 01:24:09,609
Great.

1876
01:24:09,696 --> 01:24:11,655
-Generous.
-Yeah, generous.

1877
01:24:11,742 --> 01:24:14,310
That's a good wrap.
Nice job.

1878
01:24:14,397 --> 01:24:17,095
[reporter]
Well, there is a new restaurant
to cluck about this weekend.

1879
01:24:17,182 --> 01:24:19,663
It's going to be
a chicken restaurant.

1880
01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:22,187
Brought to Central Ohio
by Morgan Spurlock.

1881
01:24:22,274 --> 01:24:24,494
The star of the documentary
"Super Size Me."

1882
01:24:24,581 --> 01:24:26,757
Now he's opening
his own restaurant,
right here in Central Ohio.

1883
01:24:26,844 --> 01:24:29,629
...brown paper covering
whatever is going on inside.

1884
01:24:29,716 --> 01:24:31,327
[Morgan]
I hope we get a lot of
people to come out

1885
01:24:31,414 --> 01:24:33,590
and enjoy that delicious
grilled crispy chicken sandwich.

1886
01:24:33,677 --> 01:24:35,853
Grilled crispy chicken
sandwich today?

1887
01:24:35,940 --> 01:24:38,290
Is that a fried sandwich, the
grilled crispy chicken sandwich?

1888
01:24:38,377 --> 01:24:40,031
Oh, no sir, we do not say
the "F" word in here.

1889
01:24:40,118 --> 01:24:41,467
-What do we say?
-[all] Crispy.

1890
01:24:41,554 --> 01:24:42,816
-One more time.
-Crispy.

1891
01:24:42,903 --> 01:24:44,644
That's right.

1892
01:24:44,731 --> 01:24:46,733
[reporter]
The food is advertised
as 100% natural.

1893
01:24:46,820 --> 01:24:48,431
-[Morgan] All natural.
-[all] All natural.

1894
01:24:48,518 --> 01:24:50,520
-Farm to table.
-[all] Farm to table.

1895
01:24:50,607 --> 01:24:52,696
Antibiotic-free, hormone-free,
humanely raised...

1896
01:24:52,783 --> 01:24:55,655
The big, beautiful green awning
just screams fresh and natural.

1897
01:24:55,742 --> 01:24:58,093
We're going to be the most
honest and most transparent,

1898
01:24:58,180 --> 01:25:00,704
the most authentic fast-food
restaurant you're ever been to.

1899
01:25:00,791 --> 01:25:02,140
OK.

1900
01:25:02,227 --> 01:25:03,489
This Saturday, 11:00 am,
grand opening.

1901
01:25:03,576 --> 01:25:05,796
-One, two, three...
-[cheering]

1902
01:25:08,407 --> 01:25:09,539
[engine revs]

1903
01:25:15,066 --> 01:25:16,676
[phone line trilling]

1904
01:25:16,763 --> 01:25:18,983
Hi, you've reached
the voice mail for Tom Super,

1905
01:25:19,070 --> 01:25:20,724
-please leave a message.
-[beep]

1906
01:25:20,811 --> 01:25:23,118
Hey, Tom,
it's Morgan Spurlock calling.

1907
01:25:23,205 --> 01:25:25,729
Uh, give me a call back when you
get a chance on my cell.

1908
01:25:25,816 --> 01:25:27,731
I would love to talk to you
whenever you get a minute.

1909
01:25:27,818 --> 01:25:30,386
Hope you're good, man.
Thanks. Bye.

1910
01:25:30,473 --> 01:25:34,259
Do you remember that letter
that I got from the guy
at the Chicken Council in D.C.

1911
01:25:34,346 --> 01:25:37,610
warning "chicken people"
all about me making this movie?

1912
01:25:37,697 --> 01:25:41,484
Well, I'm in Washington, D.C.,
to track down Tom Super,

1913
01:25:41,571 --> 01:25:44,095
the guy who wrote that letter.
That's him.

1914
01:25:44,182 --> 01:25:47,142
[voicemail]
Hi, you've reached Tom Super.
Please leave a message.

1915
01:25:47,229 --> 01:25:49,753
[Morgan]
The grand opening of my chicken
restaurant is this Saturday,

1916
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,583
so I felt like it's the least
I could do to invite him.

1917
01:25:57,804 --> 01:25:59,066
Hey, how are you?

1918
01:25:59,154 --> 01:26:00,459
I'm going up
to the fourth floor.

1919
01:26:00,546 --> 01:26:02,287
-May I see your I.D.?
-Sure, of course.

1920
01:26:02,374 --> 01:26:04,550
-Cool, thanks.
Am I good to head up?
-Yeah.

1921
01:26:06,161 --> 01:26:07,466
Thank you very much.

1922
01:26:12,993 --> 01:26:13,994
Hey, how are you?

1923
01:26:14,081 --> 01:26:15,779
-Good.
-Good.

1924
01:26:15,866 --> 01:26:17,694
-May I help you?
-Yeah, I'm here
to see Tom Super.

1925
01:26:19,565 --> 01:26:22,220
-I'll see if he's available.
-Cool. Thanks.

1926
01:26:25,441 --> 01:26:28,052
-If you could wait here.
-Oh, wait here? Oh.

1927
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:32,970
The way she looked
down that hallway

1928
01:26:33,057 --> 01:26:35,102
makes me think Tom Super
just went to the bathroom.

1929
01:26:48,420 --> 01:26:50,030
Tom's not in the office.

1930
01:26:50,117 --> 01:26:51,989
-He's not in? He's not here?
-No.

1931
01:26:52,685 --> 01:26:54,383
-No? OK.
-Mm-mm.

1932
01:26:54,470 --> 01:26:56,428
So could I leave you something
for you, for him then?

1933
01:26:56,515 --> 01:26:57,603
Yeah.

1934
01:26:57,690 --> 01:26:59,126
It's an invitation to a--

1935
01:26:59,214 --> 01:27:00,780
I have a restaurant
opening in Columbus.

1936
01:27:00,867 --> 01:27:02,565
So could you pass this
off to him?

1937
01:27:02,652 --> 01:27:04,741
'Cause I wanted to make sure
he was invited to come.

1938
01:27:04,828 --> 01:27:06,786
Did you take pictures
of our logo?

1939
01:27:06,873 --> 01:27:08,223
'Cause that's not allowed.

1940
01:27:08,310 --> 01:27:10,225
-That's not allowed. OK.
-[cameraman] OK.

1941
01:27:10,312 --> 01:27:12,357
-How did you get up here?
-How did we get up here?

1942
01:27:12,444 --> 01:27:13,924
-Yeah.
-We took the elevator.

1943
01:27:14,011 --> 01:27:15,926
How did you get past security?

1944
01:27:16,013 --> 01:27:17,710
I'm a really nice guy.

1945
01:27:17,797 --> 01:27:19,451
No, that doesn't work. [laughs]

1946
01:27:19,538 --> 01:27:21,323
It's true. It's true.

1947
01:27:21,410 --> 01:27:23,020
OK, I'll put this on Tom's desk.

1948
01:27:23,107 --> 01:27:24,543
Put that on Tom's desk.
I appreciate it.

1949
01:27:24,630 --> 01:27:25,849
-OK.
-Thank you very much.

1950
01:27:38,383 --> 01:27:40,255
-[reporter] Joining us
this morning...
-[Morgan] Morning.

1951
01:27:40,342 --> 01:27:41,778
You know his face,
you know his name.

1952
01:27:41,865 --> 01:27:43,823
The director, producer
Morgan Spurlock

1953
01:27:43,910 --> 01:27:46,348
is now opening up
his own fast-food restaurant

1954
01:27:46,435 --> 01:27:49,873
[over radio] right here
in Columbus in a building
that used to be a Wendy's.

1955
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,309
[Morgan on radio]
Used to be a Wendy's.

1956
01:27:51,396 --> 01:27:53,311
Our goal is to take over,
you know,

1957
01:27:53,398 --> 01:27:56,009
the bones of old,
dead fast-food restaurants
all over America.

1958
01:27:56,096 --> 01:27:58,664
[reporter]
But why are you choosing
to start off in Columbus?

1959
01:27:58,751 --> 01:28:01,363
[Morgan]
Well, 'cause Columbus is the
test market capital of America,

1960
01:28:01,450 --> 01:28:05,018
So what better place to taste
the Grilled Crispy Chicken
sandwich than in Columbus, Ohio?

1961
01:28:05,105 --> 01:28:07,325
[reporter]
Well, that's something
to look forward to.

1962
01:28:07,412 --> 01:28:09,458
[Morgan]
Ribbon cutting's at 10:30,

1963
01:28:09,545 --> 01:28:11,329
-11:00 am grand opening.
-All right,

1964
01:28:11,416 --> 01:28:13,244
gonna be something
new in store there.

1965
01:28:13,331 --> 01:28:14,898
Well, coming up,
it's Wild Wednesday.

1966
01:28:14,985 --> 01:28:16,856
Lisa's out
checking out four new...

1967
01:28:33,003 --> 01:28:34,396
[paper rustles]

1968
01:28:38,704 --> 01:28:40,706
Today is the big day.

1969
01:28:41,794 --> 01:28:43,709
Today we're finally opening.

1970
01:28:43,796 --> 01:28:46,277
[man]
Fast food, fresh,
local, healthier.

1971
01:28:46,364 --> 01:28:47,496
It's long overdue.

1972
01:28:47,583 --> 01:28:49,193
I'm sure it'll be good.

1973
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:50,629
I think it's gonna help
change people's lives.

1974
01:28:50,716 --> 01:28:52,457
It's gonna make
people healthier.

1975
01:28:52,544 --> 01:28:55,460
I'm not... expecting anything
less than that. [laughs]

1976
01:28:55,547 --> 01:28:58,202
But now the real question is,
are people actually ready

1977
01:28:58,289 --> 01:29:00,813
for a 100% transparent,

1978
01:29:01,814 --> 01:29:03,686
honest food experience?

1979
01:29:04,339 --> 01:29:06,036
And...

1980
01:29:06,123 --> 01:29:07,342
we'll find out.

1981
01:29:13,217 --> 01:29:15,567
-Thank you guys
so much for coming.
-[cheering]

1982
01:29:17,047 --> 01:29:18,614
Nice to meet you, come on in.

1983
01:29:20,050 --> 01:29:21,921
Come on in.
Thanks for coming, guys.

1984
01:29:22,008 --> 01:29:23,358
Nice to meet you.

1985
01:29:25,534 --> 01:29:27,579
Nice to meet you.
Thanks for being here.

1986
01:29:27,666 --> 01:29:29,146
Nice to meet you.
I am so excited.

1987
01:29:29,233 --> 01:29:31,278
Thank you, everyone,
for being here today.

1988
01:29:33,933 --> 01:29:36,762
-You guys braved the weather
to come here.
-[cheering]

1989
01:29:38,547 --> 01:29:41,027
Now, most of you
probably thought

1990
01:29:41,114 --> 01:29:44,074
that this is the last place
that you would ever see me.

1991
01:29:44,161 --> 01:29:48,513
And, believe me, 12 years ago
when I was throwing up
out of the side of a car window

1992
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:52,474
after stuffing myself with
McDonald's, this was the last
place I thought I'd ever see me.

1993
01:29:52,561 --> 01:29:53,736
[laughter]

1994
01:29:53,823 --> 01:29:55,085
But...

1995
01:29:55,172 --> 01:29:56,173
[ethereal music]

1996
01:29:56,260 --> 01:29:57,827
I've had a revelation.

1997
01:29:59,350 --> 01:30:02,397
After watching fast-food
business continue to grow,

1998
01:30:04,181 --> 01:30:07,314
seeing how these companies
say that they're changing,

1999
01:30:07,402 --> 01:30:10,013
that they're becoming
more healthy,

2000
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:14,931
that they're becoming
everything we wanted them to be.

2001
01:30:15,018 --> 01:30:19,936
And every year these chains
continue to sell us
the same tired food,

2002
01:30:20,023 --> 01:30:24,331
only now, with new and improved
marketing and spin.

2003
01:30:27,465 --> 01:30:31,904
Today is the first step
towards total honesty
in a lying industry.

2004
01:30:34,124 --> 01:30:38,345
Today, we tell you everything
that they never would.

2005
01:30:42,698 --> 01:30:44,003
Ladies and gentlemen...

2006
01:30:44,917 --> 01:30:46,179
I give you...

2007
01:30:48,617 --> 01:30:49,618
Holy Chicken!

2008
01:30:49,705 --> 01:30:51,010
[all]
Holy Chicken!

2009
01:30:55,319 --> 01:30:56,973
[various reporters]
Holy Chicken! Holy Chicken!

2010
01:30:57,060 --> 01:30:58,670
Holy Chicken!

2011
01:30:58,757 --> 01:30:59,932
So that will be the name of it,
Holy Chicken!

2012
01:31:00,019 --> 01:31:01,717
Holy Chicken!

2013
01:31:01,804 --> 01:31:03,370
I would like to present you
this certificate

2014
01:31:03,458 --> 01:31:04,894
and welcome you officially
to the State of Ohio.

2015
01:31:04,981 --> 01:31:07,244
That is fantastic.
Thank you so much.

2016
01:31:07,331 --> 01:31:10,682
[reporter] At Holy Chicken!
near Westerville,
the line was out the door.

2017
01:31:10,769 --> 01:31:12,989
Welcome to Holy Chicken!
How may I help you today?

2018
01:31:13,076 --> 01:31:15,252
Could I please do the Grilled
Crispy Chicken Sandwich?

2019
01:31:15,339 --> 01:31:17,036
A Grilled Crispy Chicken
Sandwich, you got it.

2020
01:31:17,123 --> 01:31:19,517
-Grilled Crispy...
-Regular, not spicy.

2021
01:31:20,562 --> 01:31:21,867
A regular sandwich and a spicy.

2022
01:31:21,954 --> 01:31:23,086
One regular, one spicy.

2023
01:31:23,173 --> 01:31:24,653
Grilled Crispy Chicken Sandwich.

2024
01:31:24,740 --> 01:31:26,089
We'll call your name
when your food is ready.

2025
01:31:26,176 --> 01:31:27,830
Honesty never tasted so good.

2026
01:31:27,917 --> 01:31:30,093
-Welcome to Holy Chicken!
-This is delicious.

2027
01:31:30,180 --> 01:31:31,790
-Mmm.
-Really good.

2028
01:31:33,096 --> 01:31:34,619
Can I get a bun, please?

2029
01:31:35,968 --> 01:31:37,274
-Very, very fresh.
-Oh, yeah.

2030
01:31:37,361 --> 01:31:39,015
It's a solid sandwich.

2031
01:31:39,102 --> 01:31:40,190
It's actually...

2032
01:31:40,277 --> 01:31:41,931
-deep fried.
-Mm-hmm.

2033
01:31:42,018 --> 01:31:44,411
We don't say that "F" word
at--at Holy Chicken!

2034
01:31:44,499 --> 01:31:46,239
[all] Crispy!

2035
01:31:46,326 --> 01:31:47,545
[Morgan]
Just like the rest of the
fast-food industry,

2036
01:31:47,632 --> 01:31:48,894
we never use the "F" word here.

2037
01:31:48,981 --> 01:31:50,592
-We never call it fried.
-Sorry.

2038
01:31:50,679 --> 01:31:53,377
-We never call it [mumbles]
-[laughter]

2039
01:31:53,464 --> 01:31:54,944
-Even though it is.
-[all] Crispy!

2040
01:31:55,031 --> 01:31:56,772
That way you can feel better
about yourself

2041
01:31:56,859 --> 01:31:59,122
while eating craveable,
greasy food.

2042
01:31:59,209 --> 01:32:00,993
Hi! Welcome to Holy Chicken!

2043
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,691
-[laughter]
-[man] Tawanda. Tawanda.

2044
01:32:02,778 --> 01:32:04,562
Come on up, Tawanda.

2045
01:32:04,649 --> 01:32:06,303
[Morgan] We'll call your name
when your food's ready,

2046
01:32:06,390 --> 01:32:07,478
but while you wait, be sure
and take a look around.

2047
01:32:07,565 --> 01:32:09,045
See the frickin'...

2048
01:32:09,132 --> 01:32:10,525
Yeah. Interesting signage
around here.

2049
01:32:10,612 --> 01:32:12,875
Next customer.
Welcome to Holy Chicken!

2050
01:32:12,962 --> 01:32:15,051
-Can I interest you in any
of our health halo items today?
-Yes, please.

2051
01:32:15,138 --> 01:32:16,705
All of our items on the board
actually have the halo
around them,

2052
01:32:16,792 --> 01:32:18,837
and ultimately a health halo
makes our food seem

2053
01:32:18,924 --> 01:32:20,883
way better for you
than it actually is.

2054
01:32:20,970 --> 01:32:23,102
"We surround our food
with a glowing healthy halo."

2055
01:32:23,189 --> 01:32:26,105
"Which often results
in increased consumption."

2056
01:32:26,192 --> 01:32:29,065
[man]
The average Holy Chicken order
contains 1,000 calories?

2057
01:32:29,152 --> 01:32:30,153
Oh, my God.

2058
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:31,589
According to nutritionists,

2059
01:32:31,676 --> 01:32:32,982
it's technically
a meal and a half.

2060
01:32:37,421 --> 01:32:38,422
Next customer.

2061
01:32:38,509 --> 01:32:40,163
[woman] Julia A.

2062
01:32:40,250 --> 01:32:42,382
-What can I get you?
-I'll take a spicy sandwich.

2063
01:32:42,469 --> 01:32:44,210
Would you like an order
of Little Cluckers
for your little clucker?

2064
01:32:44,297 --> 01:32:45,951
-Sure.
-All right, done.

2065
01:32:46,038 --> 01:32:47,736
[man] Crunchy greens
and a side of sauce.

2066
01:32:47,823 --> 01:32:49,999
"100% committed to goodness
by which we mean

2067
01:32:50,086 --> 01:32:53,263
using words like 'goodness'
to make you feel good." [laughs]

2068
01:32:55,700 --> 01:32:57,746
Be sure and take a look
at our word wall.

2069
01:32:57,833 --> 01:32:59,748
-All natural?
-Fresh.

2070
01:32:59,835 --> 01:33:01,663
-Artisanal.
-Antibiotic-free?

2071
01:33:01,750 --> 01:33:03,578
-Transparent.
-Better.

2072
01:33:03,665 --> 01:33:04,753
Free-range?

2073
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:06,102
[woman] Legally speaking...

2074
01:33:06,189 --> 01:33:07,582
[man] ...they don't mean much.

2075
01:33:07,669 --> 01:33:09,409
[laughs]

2076
01:33:09,496 --> 01:33:11,150
By painting these walls
this lively shade of green...

2077
01:33:11,237 --> 01:33:13,805
We're helping you believe
our food is fresh and natural.

2078
01:33:15,024 --> 01:33:16,547
So...

2079
01:33:16,634 --> 01:33:18,549
We've got wood
to make you think of barns.

2080
01:33:18,636 --> 01:33:20,333
Healthier.

2081
01:33:20,420 --> 01:33:22,640
-Locally sourced wood
and... shit.
-Shh...

2082
01:33:22,727 --> 01:33:25,556
Feel free to roam around
the free-range zone there, OK.

2083
01:33:25,643 --> 01:33:27,950
-Hey, you guys are
in the free-range zone.
-Yeah, we're ranging.

2084
01:33:28,037 --> 01:33:32,302
This is the exact same amount
of space we gave our chickens
to be free-range.

2085
01:33:32,389 --> 01:33:33,912
This is so tiny.

2086
01:33:33,999 --> 01:33:35,566
Luckily, they never
go outside, anyway.

2087
01:33:35,653 --> 01:33:37,046
They get so big so quickly
they can barely walk.

2088
01:33:37,133 --> 01:33:38,874
-Oh, gosh.
-Big chickens.

2089
01:33:38,961 --> 01:33:41,572
Mom, look! Mom, look!

2090
01:33:41,659 --> 01:33:43,618
-[clucking]
-[laughing]

2091
01:33:43,705 --> 01:33:46,098
Farm to table, technically
a giant windowless warehouse

2092
01:33:46,185 --> 01:33:49,449
with thousands of obese
chickens crammed together
is a chicken farm.

2093
01:33:49,536 --> 01:33:51,016
That's so sad.

2094
01:33:51,103 --> 01:33:52,583
[Morgan]
One Grilled Crispy
Chicken regular.

2095
01:33:52,670 --> 01:33:54,150
Feel free to take some
time to look around.

2096
01:33:54,237 --> 01:33:55,542
We'll call your name
when your order's ready.

2097
01:33:55,630 --> 01:33:57,109
Next customer.

2098
01:33:57,196 --> 01:33:58,284
Welcome to Holy Chicken!
How may I help you?

2099
01:34:03,202 --> 01:34:04,421
Better for you.

2100
01:34:04,508 --> 01:34:05,901
-Sounds great.
-Means nothing.

2101
01:34:05,988 --> 01:34:07,076
Be sure to take a look around.

2102
01:34:07,163 --> 01:34:08,555
Honesty never tasted so good.

2103
01:34:08,643 --> 01:34:10,209
Next customer.

2104
01:34:10,296 --> 01:34:11,646
Welcome to Holy Chicken!
How may I help you?

2105
01:34:14,257 --> 01:34:15,867
Does this look like that--
the farmer guy?

2106
01:34:15,954 --> 01:34:17,260
-That's him.
-Is that him?

2107
01:34:17,347 --> 01:34:18,696
That is him.

2108
01:34:20,176 --> 01:34:22,395
-That's pretty cool.
-That's the guy. That's him.

2109
01:34:22,482 --> 01:34:24,876
Two regular, one spicy.

2110
01:34:24,963 --> 01:34:27,879
I can't believe I drove
all the way from Alabama...

2111
01:34:27,966 --> 01:34:29,838
for a chicken sandwich.

2112
01:34:29,925 --> 01:34:32,318
We'll call your name
when the food's ready.

2113
01:34:32,405 --> 01:34:34,407
-Look at that guy.
-Hey! How you doing, Morgan?

2114
01:34:34,494 --> 01:34:36,453
-How are you, man?
-Good. Great to see you.

2115
01:34:36,540 --> 01:34:38,368
This is our chicken farmer.
Farmer Jonathan.

2116
01:34:38,455 --> 01:34:39,630
Let's hear it
for farmer Jonathan.

2117
01:34:39,717 --> 01:34:42,198
[cheers and applause]

2118
01:34:44,330 --> 01:34:46,463
That's neat. [laughs]

2119
01:34:47,203 --> 01:34:48,813
Wow.

2120
01:34:48,900 --> 01:34:50,597
Let me get down close
for you can see it.

2121
01:34:50,685 --> 01:34:53,165
Oh, we can see the resemblance
without--[laughs]

2122
01:34:54,993 --> 01:34:56,647
Do I look like that guy?

2123
01:34:56,734 --> 01:34:58,518
-You're better looking
than him.
-[Connie laughs]

2124
01:34:58,605 --> 01:35:00,651
I was having
a rough day that day.

2125
01:35:00,738 --> 01:35:02,348
[Connie]
You messed up your hair.

2126
01:35:02,435 --> 01:35:03,610
[sighs]

2127
01:35:11,227 --> 01:35:12,445
[Morgan] We actually tell...

2128
01:35:12,532 --> 01:35:13,577
[woman] This is Farmer Jonathan.

2129
01:35:13,664 --> 01:35:15,100
...your story.

2130
01:35:15,187 --> 01:35:16,841
[Jonathan]
Amazing.

2131
01:35:16,928 --> 01:35:19,365
[Morgan]
And what's happened to you

2132
01:35:19,452 --> 01:35:21,716
and your battles
with Big Chicken.

2133
01:35:22,717 --> 01:35:23,979
[Jonathan]
I'm amazed.

2134
01:35:35,599 --> 01:35:38,036
[man] "If you win, your neighbor
is totally clucked!"

2135
01:35:41,953 --> 01:35:44,608
I never would have thought
I would have saw this done.

2136
01:35:44,695 --> 01:35:46,697
[Morgan]
Because people have no idea

2137
01:35:46,784 --> 01:35:49,569
how they take advantage
of farmers.

2138
01:35:49,656 --> 01:35:51,397
-I'm amazed, I mean...
-Awesome.

2139
01:35:52,268 --> 01:35:53,835
Yeah.

2140
01:35:53,922 --> 01:35:55,793
-It's great. It's great.
-That makes me happy.

2141
01:35:57,926 --> 01:36:01,451
This means that all the work
I've done in the past
is not in vain.

2142
01:36:01,538 --> 01:36:02,844
[Morgan]
Yeah.

2143
01:36:04,584 --> 01:36:07,065
[Jonathan]
I hope y'all build
thousands of chains.

2144
01:36:12,505 --> 01:36:14,290
[upbeat music]

2145
01:36:21,471 --> 01:36:23,212
Welcome to Holy Chicken!
How may I help you?

2146
01:36:23,299 --> 01:36:24,648
I'll have a regular.

2147
01:36:24,735 --> 01:36:26,171
Regular Grilled Crispy Chicken?

2148
01:36:26,258 --> 01:36:27,651
Grilled Crispy Chicken
Sandwich for here.

2149
01:36:29,348 --> 01:36:33,091
And y'all feel free to move
about the free-range zone.

2150
01:36:33,178 --> 01:36:34,310
[man] The fake grill marks.

2151
01:36:35,311 --> 01:36:36,791
-Seriously, though?
-Yeah.

2152
01:36:36,878 --> 01:36:38,836
And we lightly
brush it with charcoal

2153
01:36:38,923 --> 01:36:41,317
just to give it that
grilled look and feel.

2154
01:36:41,404 --> 01:36:43,014
I love the irony here.

2155
01:36:43,101 --> 01:36:44,799
So everything's fried
to be crisp--

2156
01:36:44,886 --> 01:36:46,496
[staff]
Crispy!

2157
01:36:46,583 --> 01:36:48,237
Kinda like bullshit,
but it's reverse bullshit.

2158
01:36:48,324 --> 01:36:49,760
-That's right.
-[laughter]

2159
01:36:49,847 --> 01:36:51,153
[woman]
Two crispy sandwiches.

2160
01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:53,329
Two regular sandwiches,
fantastic.

2161
01:36:53,416 --> 01:36:54,809
-Would you like one
of our local beverages?
-I'm all right.

2162
01:36:54,896 --> 01:36:56,245
You're just gonna have
the holy water?

2163
01:36:56,332 --> 01:36:58,508
-Yes.
-Also local.

2164
01:36:58,595 --> 01:37:00,118
[man]
Did you see the sign out there?

2165
01:37:00,205 --> 01:37:03,078
Local just means...
It's here right now.

2166
01:37:03,165 --> 01:37:04,775
-For here or to go?
-For here.

2167
01:37:04,862 --> 01:37:06,733
-Great!
-Crispy Chicken Sandwich
for here.

2168
01:37:06,821 --> 01:37:08,910
See, I do it all
at Holy Chicken. Boom!

2169
01:37:08,997 --> 01:37:10,433
Be sure and take a look around.

2170
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:11,913
Honesty never tasted so good.

2171
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:13,610
Not photos
of our actual chickens.

2172
01:37:13,697 --> 01:37:15,873
Like, those are photos
of our actual chickens.

2173
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,527
[man]
I'm not gonna forget this

2174
01:37:17,614 --> 01:37:18,876
the next time I go eat chicken
somewhere else.

2175
01:37:18,963 --> 01:37:20,747
-That's right.
-If I do.

2176
01:37:21,618 --> 01:37:22,793
I can't finish my meal.

2177
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:24,316
You don't want to see that.

2178
01:37:24,403 --> 01:37:25,840
I'm not sure if
I really want to know.

2179
01:37:25,927 --> 01:37:27,842
You're still eating it. [laughs]

2180
01:37:28,930 --> 01:37:31,149
-Thank you, sir.
-[staff] Crispy!

2181
01:37:31,236 --> 01:37:34,065
Seeing this living piece
shoved in people's faces

2182
01:37:34,152 --> 01:37:37,677
and the direct contradiction of
evidence here is--it's awesome.

2183
01:37:37,764 --> 01:37:40,115
[Morgan]
Take a look around.
It's too good to be true!

2184
01:37:40,202 --> 01:37:41,812
Next customer. How are you, sir?

2185
01:37:41,899 --> 01:37:44,075
Anything that we can do
to make people understand

2186
01:37:44,162 --> 01:37:46,121
and make different choices
is a good thing.

2187
01:37:46,208 --> 01:37:48,297
[woman]
But then by bringing this out,

2188
01:37:48,384 --> 01:37:51,778
wouldn't it discourage people
from going to restaurants
like this?

2189
01:37:56,218 --> 01:37:57,132
Mmm.

2190
01:37:57,219 --> 01:37:58,524

-Mmm!
-Mmm!

2193
01:38:04,139 --> 01:38:05,401
How many we got, guys?

2194
01:38:05,488 --> 01:38:07,359
-We've got lots more orders.
-OK.

2195
01:38:07,446 --> 01:38:09,448
I'm sorry, we were
overrun today,

2196
01:38:09,535 --> 01:38:12,799
but we--we are out of
chicken sandwiches for today.

2197
01:38:12,887 --> 01:38:15,454
We still have
the Little Cluckers
chicken tenders.

01:38:20,111 --> 01:38:22,200
well, it probably is."

2201
01:38:26,422 --> 01:38:28,293
You know what,
all you companies out there,

2202
01:38:28,380 --> 01:38:30,687
you just keep doing
what you're doing.

'Cause I'm gonna keep
doing what I'm doing,

2204
01:38:32,819 --> 01:38:34,560
