Well okay, but I warned ya'... ;)

Well, mcdonald's burgers and fries may be laden with saturated beef tallow and Ronald may be a sadistic, child abuser... but hey, their soft serve ice cream is the best ice cream for the cheapest price. (I don't wanna know what's really in it, I just want to enjoy my ice cream)

Hahahahaha!

McDonalds..I haven't stepped into that place in ages! YUCK!

What about the salads? aren't they good for you?

 I think the Grilled Southwest Chicken Salads are great, reasonably low in calories, and relatively filling.  I probably eat 1 a week.

(I just wish I could see the OP's link to know what this is all about- I'm blocked at work.) 

Worse than being choked by a clown, you should watch Super-Size Me by Morgan Spurlock. Started out healthy, ate only McD's for a month, halfway through his doc's begged him to stop. SKEERY! (Sadly, I still eat there sometimes).

 Yeah but I think that also had to do with the fact that he was a sorta vegetarian and I believe he says something about being on a macrobiotic diet. I wonder if it would have dobe was much damage if he were your average joe.

While I agree that McDonalds is not, by any stretch, good for you, and Super-Size Me also is a good demonstration of what too much fast food can do for your body... I think sometimes people forget that a) he was an extremely clean eater before that so his body was already more likely to reject food like that, b) he was eating THOUSANDS of calories more than he would normally eat.  This includes super-sizing his food EVERY time they asked if he'd like to.  AND he forced himself to eat it all (anybody remember the part where he ate too much and actually threw up, but still forced himself to finish?), and c) he ate ONLY McDonalds, and didn't really even attempt to eat the healthier options...

Most people don't eat only McDonalds, most people will stop eating if they are full... etc. etc. etc.  If you keep a pretty normal, healthy, and balanced diet normally, a little McDonalds now and then (now and then being a couple times a month or less, not twice a week) probably won't hurt you.  Granted, if you eat a normal, healthy, balanced diet, you're less likely to crave McDonalds anyway... At least I find that I am when I'm on a healthy kick.

Ok, I'll pack up my soapbox now ;)

Great soap box.

I noticed it too.... I used to eat hamburgers everyday, and drink cokes. I don't even like coke that much anymore and I never crave for a Mc Donalds hamburger.

Let me know when you get back on that soap box so I can read your post.
