McDonalds

[Simster]

McDonalds is bad for you, it's basically chemicals and sugar of the worst kind. Eating there often is bad for you. But people don't think these things catch up with them. They do when you're 55 and you have colon cancer.

Although the chances are you won't get colon cancer if you eat a McDonalds once a month and a proper healthy diet. McDonalds is an indulgence and a convience - and everybody knows that if you use it as a source for your default meal, you're going to have health problems. We didn't need to see "Supersize Me" to arrive at that conclusion either.

I guess all I'm asking is why you even bothered mentioning this and consequently spawning a really pointless discussion? It's nothing new is it?

Following that logic why have a thread past a first post that says " McDonalds is full of crap but won't do you much harm eaten occasionally"? Or for that matter, why have a thread at all? We all know what the score is.

Uncle Sams.

Grubbs

Haven't eaten in McDonalds regularly since the kids were little, but we stopped at one on the A27 a few weeks ago. Didn't realise they did salads now and apparently they weren't bad. (I didn't have one myself obviously as I'm a bloke, but my wife said it was ok). I didn't have a Big Mac, which used to be my burger of choice, but some speciality one. It wasn't bad.

Then the other week we went to the Grubbs near St Peter's church. I used to love Grubbs when I were a young man, but I have to say they haven't stood the test of time. The burger I had at McDonalds was superior.

That's where it all started, that was the single first ever Uncle Sams.

Ah, right, cheers, never knew that

Indeed. My bad! (although it's Elephants).

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Why do people have to almost apologize for eating at Mc D's?

Because it's absolute sh*te, and everyone knows it.

Ah, right, cheers, never knew that

Well it was well worth you getting up this morning then

I neither have children or eat fast food so I don't really give a shit.

I'm not sure why, but that little snippet really tickled me.

I too used to love Grubbs, but the one near Palmeira Sq has gone to sh|t over the years too. Fortunately Burger Off is nearby, so unless it's a Sunday, Monday or Wednesday I'm sorted!

The problem with McDonalds is you get that distinct, strong McDonalds smell on your hands afterwards which is really hard to get off.

I'm sure there was an exposé at some stage which revealed that a McDonald's Caesar Salad contained more fat and calories than a hamburger with fries.

Exposé as in the nutritional fact sheet that's provided with every meal?

 

[dingodan]

I'm 117 days clean.

Grubbs used to be a treat, but it has gone remarkably downhill over the past 18 months. Burger off is ok, but honestly, Smoque Grill is where it's all happening now. trust me.

You may take a nutritional fact sheet with your every McDonald's meal: I can honestly say I've never seen one.

I usually just buy my stuff,eat it and then dump my crap in the bin followed by a swift exit.
I feel quite smug now knowing all these years i have actually managed to avoid paying the charge for cleaning my own table.

They really should advertise it better that you have to pay to do this,i suspect i am not the only one that has been getting away with it.
