I know you others have been to this devilous place. Hehe. Well it's devilous to me. The main reason I hate it is because it takes up the airwaves on the good Seattle rock station I listen to. McDonalds runs two commercials consecutively, and it sickens me even more that they use rap to get to the majority of young kids, cause hey, rap is the 'cool thing' to listen to, yo.

I also dislike the food. I don't mind the flavor. In fact its one of my favorite flavors, but I have been exposed to the facts. If you eat at McDonalds, please, read Fast Food Nation by some person I dont know, and The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. That will clear up meat packing industries. Then watch super size me. It's just sickening how the whole culture of the USA has essentially turned into McDonalds. When I talk to many Foriegners that haven't heard of the USA very much, they ask me where I am from, and I say United States, and they say, oh, Fast Food Capital! McDonalds is there! Yum!

Then I twitch. It's just so rampant in the world today. What are your thoughts on McDonalds? Do you eat there frequently? If so why? If not, why?

I've never eaten at mcdonalds, I've never had a desire to eat at Mcdonalds. McDonalds has had to close many of thier stores, and thier stocks are down, but people still mention them all the time as the archytpe of fast food. Go figure.

I was just there a bit ago. To pick up my girlfriend from work.

I only go to McDonalds when im in the mood to mess with high school kid's heads.

Hey! I didnt order this, take it back and make it the way I said, now listen close I wanted...(rambles for 2 minutes on the specifications)

(rejects it again and rambles some more, with one part different)

rinse, repeat as long as neccessary, or until they tell you to leave.

What really bothers me are people who run around saying McDonalds (and other fast food companies) are the source of all the weight problems in the world. I don't see anyone handcuffing american citizens and dragging them in there... talk about shifting the blame. Yes, if you eat mcdonalds every day for a year, you will probably get fat (and sick). But thats your fault, not McDonalds.

All things in moderation, people.

Mmmm... McDonald's. I think the McDonalds' here in New Zealand must be better than those American ones, aye Stetson?

Mmmm... McDonald's.

I'm not fat.

Watch SuperSize Me.

I only eat it when my partner is not hungry, I'm at his house and we can't be bothered cooking anything and want to save money. So, every day.

j/k

I think it tastes pretty crap so I'm not a huge fan.

If you go to some fancy french restuarnt that costs $200 a plate for every meal the same thing would happen.

Ever since I got food poisoning from McDonalds about 4 years ago, I've only gone back there -one- time, and then I just got a soda and fries. I really try not to eat fast food because: it's like, all of your daily calories in ONE meal. I'm pretty obsessive about calorie counting, and I can tell you the calories in any food , so fast food is a big no no. And then of course I'm worried about becoming really sick again.

Edit:I work at a pizza place too, so if I'm ever hungry I can go get pizza or a salad for free or for really cheap .

Of course, except that people don't go to fancy French restaurants several times a week, or, in the case of said movie, three times a day. It's really cool to watch.

Isn't pizza fast food too? So how many calories less is a pizza + drink as compared to a macdonalds meal?

And yeah, I'm one of those who eat at McDonalds really often. Not much choice when the canteen my class goes to for daily project meetings over meals has just 3 stalls, one of which is McDonalds. Love the fries though. However they're cooking it, the fries taste a lot better than those at KFC / BK.

Just how many people eat a ton at McDonalds 3 times a day when they aren't trying to prove something anyway? I doubt more than a very few eat there more than a few times a week. Eat the same amount at any place and you'll likely end up just as fat.

The stuff you get in McDonalds (and not just picking on McDonalds, many fast food places) is criminal. They should not be allowed to make and sell that kind of food. Yes strictly speaking people don't have to go there, but I don't think that's the point. That's like saying 'Why is heroin illegal? People don't -have- to take it." It's irrelavent. They shouldn't be allowed to make it.

Daganev, the difference is that Mcdonalds is 100 times cheaper than a fancy french resturant, and they have the chemical aspartame in their food. Do you all know what aspartame is?

Aspartame is a chemical drug that makes whatever it is in taste better than anything of the same type. So if that was confusing....

You eat a burger at your local, natural food resturant (sorry lots of those here.. hippyville!), it tastes great. You love it. Now, you go to McDonalds, and get a Big Mac. You eat it. It tastes ok, not as good as your burger at the natural resturant. Then the next day, you wake up, and halfway through the day, you want another burger. You think back to yesterday, as to which you enjoyed more, and you remember the McDonalds food and INSTANTLY get a craving to go get some.

Don't tell me you haven't had the McCravings... it happens to everyone who has eaten there before.

Also Daganev, comparing McDonalds food to a fancy French Resturant is nothing. The French Resturant, you can be rest assured the food is natural, fresh, and good for you. McDonalds meet comes in boxes with wax paper lining the box. The meatpacking industries that the meat comes from have all violated sanitary laws. EACH meatpacking company in the United States has been part of a scandal to hide the accident log, and show a false accident log to inspectors.

DId you also know, the exact meat that goes through to be a Big Mac runs on a conveyer belt with no protection under the hooks they gut the cows on?

Also if someone is cutting the meat and accidentally cuts their finger off, the conveyer belt moves to fast, and they can't retrieve. It gets mixed in.

The Chicken McNuggets have more beef than chicken in them, and the overall quality of McDonalds meat over the past three years was lower than cat food on the polls.



Sorry if I ruined McDonalds for you. You'll be better for it in the future, I'm almost positive.

I love Mcdonalds food. They know my name at the Mcdonalds that is one block from my house. It is evil though. I have a fridge full of food and I will still go there to eat.

Mcdonalds is nummy, though I hate to admit it. I know it's all mixed in with loads of other stuff, but it tastes good enough. Nuggets, and chips.

Key word, salad. But regardless, a slice of pizza + drink (diet soda) is MUCH less than a Mcdonalds meal. The most unhealthy thing about pizza is the cheese, but surprisingly we don't put as much cheese as it seems like we would (*makes pizza sometimes*). But I only eat just plain cheese pizza, I don't like meats on it or anything. So then that's probably about 200-300 calories max, compared to a 270 calorie cheeseburger, and then add on 270-300ish calories for the fries because they're fried in..basically..grease. So yeah , and those aren't even big fries.

Mm, doesn't everyone want to eat fast food now! There's nothing wrong with it though of course. Anything can be healthy in moderation.

After seeing this movie, I have not returned to eat at a Mcdonalds.. anywhere.
I am trying my best to continue to do so. I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasnt seen it.

Apparently it's gross.

Perhaps I'll have my final McD's, then watch it, and have it put me off for life.
