McDonalds!

[Oblivious]

In America, before the meat patties are cooked they are about .3 cm tall and are really dusty and really frozen and you could drop them from a 2 meters and they wouldn't break .

Dust has fiber in it. It's good for you.
...and I believe it's frost and not dust.

Yuck! I mean, I'm not going to stop eating there because I like their food. It does actually taste good. But I'd be willing to bet that it's the Taco Salad that contains all those calories. Surely their side salads contain less calories than anything else there. I mean, all it is is a normal salad and you get to pick the dressing. I usually get the Herb Vinaigrette because it's supposed to be low fat.

Their big mac has 640 calories! Can you believe it?!

I don't understand why people eat so much fast food. All that grease is enough to make me ill just thinking of it! I haven't eaten at a fast food restaurant in years. I usually pack my lunch. Nothing like a good cup of yoplait and a peanut butter sandwich to perk me up.

Of course since I lived in Europe for part of my life, during the mad cow outbreak, my entire family has pretty much avoided eating out altogether. I don't think I've ever had beef. Some things don't leave you when you leave Europe. And since hamburgers seem to be the main fare at fast food restaurants, they don't appeal to me, either. The closest thing I've had to fast food recently was a pre-made roasted chicken breast sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, from Walmart's deli

AYeah fast food may taste good, but it is not good for you. I have to admit I like the way it tastes except mickyd's. Because I have never like them, they're gross and just....I don't know...Something about I just don't like.

its not mcdonalds that is the problem.... i think you're just in that "post-movie faze " where you are "so appalled" at what effects morgan spurlock got from eating mcdonalds ( let me add, 3 meals a day, of the worst foods on the menu ) i dont think we should point fingers at mcdonalds, but at ourselves, because honestly, if you cared REMOTELY for your weight and health, you would not dine out at mcdonalds 24/7. Fast food is bad, period. Junk Food = Fast food. mcdonalds provides modestly priced meals that everyone can eat, and in every town... if youve got the munchies, or are getting over a sad situation.

sit down and have a mcflurry. sit down, and tear over a small soda.....

so yeah, please dont diss mcdonalds. i havent eaten there in two years, and dont look to- because i have enoguh commonsense to avoid bad foods... but... i dont think mcdonalds is the reason americans are so darn fat. i say its the comfort factor.. comfort factor.. think about it

terrorrrr! there are rapists and thiefs and murderers on the street! dont let your chillun walk to school! keep em at home! ( and eventually all of us fatten up sooner or later ) its the friggen US keepin us scared all the time....

Actually it is McDonalds fault. It was the first fast food chain. So then others decided to copy it and then here comes Burger King, Dairy Queen, Burgerville, Charles Jr. Taco Bell...and so fourth. It IS there fault if you really think about it.

 

[Animerulz400]

Exactly!! The guy in "super size me" only ate junk... if you go and eat at Mcdonald's all the time, you can actually LOSE weight and lower cholestorol.... if you only eat salads, the parfaits etc. and don't have 50 servings per meal, than it can be even better than a lot of the food people cook themselves.

I work at a thatre and at Mcdonald's right now and McDonald's is HUGELY clean and uptight about quality. The franchises aren't always as great, but headquarters keeps an eye on them as well as their regular restaurants and there's nothing wrong.

The problem is the people who eat there, not the restaurant. Make good chocies and you'll be fine, eat like a pig on steroiads and you'll end up having a heart attack. It's the same thing as anywhere else, but it's just easier to pig out at Mcdonald's because it's less expensive than places that aren't fats food and people want to blame someone other than themselves.

Super size me is a great mvie why fast food's bad. I'm glad tey made it. Too bad no one actually watches and and who do they don't listen! They will just keep eating it out of habbit.

 

[Animerulz400]

McDonalds IS junk.

 

[JJ_79]

After watching supersized, i don't want to eat at Mcdonalds, or any of the other big fast food chains. Which means no more Taco Bell, Taco Time, Wendys, Burger Inn, Burger King, Harvey's, etc.

wow im kinda apalled at the level of thought processes going on here.....

It is NOT their fault. McDonalds is only doing what every other single company worldwide is trying to do, make money. Just because they were the first fast food place doesnt make them the root of all evil!!!

Its YOU who has the problem if you go there, not McDonalds!! They will keep supplying you with the food that is cleaner than probaby most of all the other cheap food places you eat at if you keep going there! If you dont like it, dont go. VERY VERY simple. It really is. I dont like it and I dont go, but im not out there to tell other people how evil it is when it really isnt.

 

[Victrixa]

I put sometimes but I only eat McDonald's once a year. And that's when someone decides to pay me a lunch... I don't like McDonald's, seriously. I could do without forever. I much prefer French, Lebanese or Vietnamese cuisine...

No, it isn't and that attitude just gets my absolutely P.O.ed. Let's take the typical excuse of society today - pointing the finger at someone else for our faults...classic. If YOU eat at McDonalds and YOU get fat or have health problems as a result it's YOUR fault. McDonalds IS NOT putting a gun to your head and making you pull up to the drive thru, and they are also not shoveling the food down your throat - YOU are.

Laura-ann and Oblivious... you guys rock! Seriously, great posts! I'm sick of people blaming other people for mistakes they make.

I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks eating nothing but fast food. I kid you not. An egg mcmuffin is actually a very reasonable choice for breakfast. Most of the fat in fast food comes from the fries. Cut them out and you're good to go. I wanted to prove that fast food was NOT always bad for you, so for breakfast, I'd eat an egg mcmuffin and have a bottle of water. For lunch, I went to Taco Bell and got 2 chicken soft tacos and another bottle of water. For dinner, I went to Chick-Fil-a and got a grilled chicken sandwich, small fries, and a diet soda. If I snacked in between, I would have fruit or yogurt. The weight couldn't peel off fast enough. The trouble isn't McDonalds. It's people ordering a double quarter pounder with cheese, a super sized order of fries, and a super sized non-diet soda 5 times a week. Exercise some self control and make healthy choices.....even at fast food restaurants.

...and a large McFlurry for dessert lol... it's all in the choices the people who eat there make, you're completely right!
