i'm not going to watch this as I am planning on McD's for dinner this evening.

No real surprise there, is it, Sev? Over the holidays, in course of a 6 hour drive....we stopped at McD's...I couldn't even eat the french fries, they has so much salt on them. The girls loved every bite it. I think that was the 3rd time they've ever had McD's.

I still remember my mom finding french fries in the car months after they were eaten there...and they looked like she just bought them. I am trying (once again) to kick the fast food habit (and have been mostly successful) but McD's is not a fave, regardless of my transgressions. I can't remember the last time I ate at one.

If you want to know somethign real funny about the buns McDonald's uses, one of the companies that supplies the buns for much of the Northeast is located in the town between my office and my house. The name of that company, United NATURAL foods :lol:

I do not eat McDonalds, though I am quite fond of the $1 coffee these days.

One area that I give them props is that they employ Temple Grandin to audit their supply farms. Temple is the foremost expert on humane raising and slaughter of animals.

Trying here as well... I've been consistently bringing my lunch to work which has helped.

Having a gf who likes to make my lunch for me the night before helps even more.

I bet it tastes just as good as a fresh one does too...

McDonalds coffee and fruit smoothies are a staple for me, but I understand that the smoothies are only available in select areas. Guess I'm lucky I'm in one of those areas.

 

[frozencorn]

Wait, it's not good for you? Well, Super Size me to the britches.

I have a weakness for the ice cream cones at McD.
And a small fry and a Sprite. Great snack.

I watched the movie SuperSize Me. Morgan Spurlock did nothing but eat McD's 3 meals a day for a year. He had to cut his experiment short because his doctor told him his liver was starting to shut down. Watch it for your self. I haven't touched the stuff since 2002.

Wasn't it supposed to be a month and it got cut short? I watched it, too, and yes, gross. IIRC, he also covered the fact that the food does not decay like it should.

but he also ordered the worst possible things in the largest possible sizes every time...i'm no mcd's apologist, but i thought that flick was more than a little skewed.

No, he had to try every menu item at least once and only Super Sized 9 times.

Of course it's skewed. Though even he didn't expect it to affect his health so drastically, so quickly.

We avoid fast food especially since the heart attack but if we caught traveling by car on superhighways we'll look for a Wendy and get the small chili and a baked potato ( least hit cal wise and makes sense from a lower fat point of view ------------------------------------but sometimes i still wish for a nice Quarter pounder but i avoid it
