[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8641657, member: 6855114"] Having high quality control does not mean your product is of top quality. It guanrantees that it will be the same in all units of production. Nothing else. A fast food is not good for your health and while I do enjoy McDonald's, it does not mean that their food is top quality for my health. It is not.
