No you are the fscking idiot if you don't see it. How hard is it for you to understand that when people criticize McDonalds they are usually talking about the whole Fast Food industry? McDonalds just happens to be the leader of that industry so they make a great target for the just criticism.[/quote]

Oh yeah, how about the number of people in this, and other threads I've had to prove that their fav competitor or sit-down joint is just as bad? How many of them were positive McDonald's was uniquely bad for them?

Maybe if you read the thread, Red, you'd not be looking like such a fool right now.

In fact, you came in right at the end of a debate with someone who swore an In-n-Out burger was better for him than McDonald's. Then he claimed his Jack in the Box burger was better for him.

I've never really liked the taste of McD's; Wendy's FTW!!

Edit: Oh yeah, can't forget Dairy Queen either, their cheeseburgers are good, not to mention the obvious ice cream involved.

McDonalds has the best breakfast of any of the major fast food chains. It is fast and tasty. I haven't eaten lunch or dinner at a McDonalds in years because the other chains (Wendys, Carls Jr, A&W, even BK) are better.

You obviously are a fool if you think ANY of this has been a shill for McDonald's. I would have done it no matter what restaruant was targeted for irrational hatred and slander.

Sonic's breakfast > MCD's They have a much better selection, that bacon or sausage one they have on Texas Toast is heavenly. Jack also has better breakfast, but since they are West Coast only MCD edges them out But Jack's Extreme Sausage breakfast sammish is about as good as it gets, and to get it on grilled sourdough once in a awhile

ummm
ummmm
ummmmmm!


and I still stand behind my claim that MCD's isn't the same as most other fast foods when it comes to how bad it is for you.

I had Wendy's tonight ZERO trans fat in my entire meal, MCD's has trans fats, and no matter how you look at it those are the worst for you. The majority of fast food I consume (which is a lot...) has no trans fats, if I replaced every fast food meal I ate with a MCD"s meal, I'd be faaaaaar worse off. Not that a Wendy's is going to make me live longer, but the lack of trans fats in my diet is a +

Why McDonalds Sucks:

Because the fries aren't biodegradable.
Because the BigMac is the only good sandwhich.
Because the BigMac really isn't that big.
Because their iced coffee sucks.
Because you can find better chicken sandwiches at Wendy's.
Because you can find a better selection of burgers elsewhere.



Why McDonalds is Successful:

Because the BigMac is tasty.
Because the BigMac is cheap.
Because the french fries are tasty.
Because they have a great chicken noodle soup.
Because they have killer marketing.

'Supersize me' revisited - under lab conditions

* 27 January 2007
* Kate Douglas
* Magazine issue 2588

When Swedish scientists decided to repeat Morgan Spurlock's famous month-long junk food binge under lab conditions, they were in for a big surprise

IF YOU had bumped into nursing student Adde Karimi last September, he probably wouldn't have had much time to stop and chat. He was too busy stuffing his face with burgers, cola and milkshakes. It takes a lot of planning to get 6600 calories of junk food down you in a day, he explains. If you are not a born glutton, serious overeating also requires a high level of commitment. Karimi's motivation was commendable. "I did it because I wanted to hate this type of food," he says. He also did it for science.

Even if you have never tried to cure your cravings for fast food by overdosing on it, you may be getting a sense of déjà vu. That's because Karimi was a volunteer in an experiment based on the 2004 documentary Super Size Me. In the movie, film-maker Morgan Spurlock spent 30 days eating exclusively at McDonald's, ...
The complete article is 2502 words long.

web doesn't have complete article for free

basically they redid supersize me with more scientific conditions. and the results were not the same, some handled it far better than others, theres natural variability, some people barely gained weight, some gained quickly, and some even had lower cholesterol. as for the liver issues spurlock had with the diet, none of the ones in the swedish test had that problem, so it might just be a spurlock thing

Because it's pure junk. I can't imagine how many chemicals goes into that meat to make it taste like that. Sure I like to season a burger but I still like it to taste like it was once a cow.

Again, McDonald's burgers are 100% beef. No fillers, no additives, no chemicals.

I've long been under the impression that flavor is added to their burgers such that all the burgers have the same taste. Perhaps the flavoring agent is derived from beef, allowing such a claim to be made?

it comes down to the quality of mcdonalds food vs what people are used to eating. mcdonalds serves low grade food that is very unhealthy. if your body isn't accustomed to consuming such unhealthy, low grade food, it will likely make you sick or not sit well. that is why a lot of people will not even touch a mcdonalds. People who enjoy mcdonalds regularly likely have terrible diets consisting of low grade, unhealthy food, and so mcdonalds is regular food to them. also, i'd be willing to bet a lot of them are overweight.
