I resent mcdonalds because the food they asell is subsidized. I don't care that it causes cancer or heartdisease. The gov shouldn't be subsidizing fatness and cancer but they are. Mcdonalds is fine tho,
every man dies though, it's just a matter of how and why. And dying cause u ate too many cheeseburgers and sodas is as good a reason as any.

i like McD. their breakfast menu is very nice (sausage mcmuffin ftw) and they got some nice burgers.

i'll take this opportunity to recommend quarter pounder WITHOUT KETCHUP. you won't be disappointed.

McD > Burger King

without ketchup???wattttt

need ketchup!!

oh and, mcdonalds is win, so cheap and actually kinda nice for what it is.

ok.. Going to class. if this thread is deemed unworthy, u can delete it mods ty for everyone's input

i have McDonalds like 5 times a week, it's cheap, and Big Macs are delicious. + I'm trying to gain weight (but I've actually lost like 5 lbs since I started eating a ton of fast food)

if it helps you: in germany we use it almost exclusivly after we went partying to chill out get half way sober again. like some ritual before the cab is leaving to get home again.

In India, McDonalds was behind religious controversy when it served french frieds cooked in beef fat (like they do everywhere else) which is against Hindu religion, because beef is sacred meat and not to be eaten.

ketchup is disgusting in burgers, and they smear way too much of it on them. remove it for a much better food experience!

thats easy to answer because countries with mcdonalds are safe from us invasion veni vidi vici

i hate mcd, i always want to kill myself when i go there, theres always like 20 fat chicks staring at me and you can see confusion in their eyes as they are not sure if they want to have me or big fries
and dont forget weird existences chilling outside

i dont get people that eat at mcdonalds regularly
if i eat 2 big macs or smtng like that thats enough for the next 3 months coz if i eat from there during that period the food d taste like shit dunno why
also there are like 4 McDs in my city which is like 500k people so i guess people dont really eat there
while when i was in Germany there were like 3 McD in Munich in ~200m radius only

Burgers are gross, i would probably throw up when i put that shit in my mouth, just like chewing shit.

One time I was sad and needed to numb my feelings.
I went to mcdonalds ate 3 double quarter lbers plain with cheese.
W/o mcdonalds I'd be condemned to eat lots of icecream. Ty mccy dees

3x as expensive tho.

i recently lost 5lbs eating at least 5 times a week at mcdonalds.

i'm pretty sure i should market the mcdonalds diet

i dont eat mcdonalds either, it gave me a stomach ulcer in high school and i just cant stand it anymore.

yeah , everytime i eat mcdonald i feel like shit after

shouldnt eat it too often, but its fine if you do it sometimes i think

Mcdonalds food alieviates anxiety

McDonalds makes me feel sick whenever I eat it. Sometimes I have to eat that cancer when travelling though :/

even though their food is low quality and unhealthy, it still tastes good so i get it a few times a month.

interesting choice. Don't know if u care about the nutritional value, but if you are choosing southwest salad over hamburger for health reasons...

Item, calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs
Big Mac® 540 29 75 1040 45
SW salad 430 20 55 920 38

thats with the breaded chicken.

I'm visiting Australia for a few months and it is really hard to find edible bread from the Supermarkets. Water costs more than gas as well. They're actually advertising that incredibly crappy white bread makes your child a super genius during _every_ ad break of the Australian Open. Wtf is this? Shouldn't it be illegal?

I mean, it's alright if people want to be obese and unhealthy, it's alright. But targeting their children and, in the end, forcing them down the same line of obesity and incredibly unhealthy eating habits should be criminal. People have such skewed views on nutrition these days that it makes an observer feel sick.

Healthy white bread.. ffs.

you basically have an infinite amount of choices at a supermarket. At McDonalds you have an extremely limited amount of healthier choices. It's not like i'm a hippy protesting the shit out of McDonalds, i just won't eat their and support their reign of fattening foods.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Arches

if you don't include that in the paper she'll probably know u didn't spend any time on it at all. Also include the fact that in many countries McDonald's is selling a hollywood lifestyle. People don't realize that the McDonald's in the US are shit and mostly poor people eat there. The McDonald's in other countries are often trendy and fashionable and expensive and nice and clean places that look nice too often. Finally, young people generally have either an oppositionist view or a strong supporting view and so there's a big societal gap between essentially closed off nationals and the more progressive and pro globalization people who eat at McDonald's have better education are more democratic in ideology et cetera. Most of these countries don't have the health problems to the extent that highly developed countries do so it's not an issue. Once their countries food outlets begin to primarily serve foods made in the same unhealthy manner, then that will become an issue

the salad is far from healthy. In fact the burger is the healthiest thing you can eat there. The fries and soda are the least healthy. If you remember that movie "Super Size Me" the guy who ate McDonalds every day for 10+ years who seemed relatively heathly, neglected to mention he NEVER eats fries or drinks soda. But people aren't forced to eat at McDonald's and people should be allowed the option to eat McDonald's if they so choose.

By that logic you should boycott all restaurants, cafes, bakeries etc.

Oh yeah, i'm not saying regulate the company. I'm pro-capitalism. The best thing about capitalism is that when the people of a nation realize that a company is making them unhealthy they can choose to eat elsewhere and the company will lose money, and shrink in size. I heard a couple of years ago (and this may be way-off as it's hear-say) that england is trying to get rid of McDonalds because of "health reasons". If this is true, that is bull shit. Anyone should do whatever they like, and do so with their company. After all, it is THEIR company (unless your a bank or GM =P ).

mcdonalds is sort of like the unhappy, angry cook/maid, whatever that wants to hurt you and take your money, so when poisons you when it serves you

U WRONG



FACT

i dont agree with personal freedom mumbo jumbo. its something people spout as an ideology. people will do retarded things given half the chance and in this case a lot of persons dont even understand how bad McDonalds is.

and they also affect everyone else putting burden on the health system. like people who refuse vaccines- a certain % of population needs to be vaccinated to make it effective. PERSNOAL FREEDOMS!!!11!1111

just had some mcdonalds, it is soooo good with some hash, jesus christ; have had it like 4-5 times with the gf already in the past month

we always get:
2 apple pies
20 chicken mcnuggets
1 double cheeseburger (had it without KETCHUP [or pickles] today, she has to have ketchup on hers, to me no ketchup is a big improvement for sure tyty)
1 big mac / spicy chicken / mcchicken

and usually thats about it. mcdonalds here in taiwan is cheap so its definitely a good deal, and sometimes they serve weird stuff too (corn soup and fried chicken drumsticks, both of which r bad)

the above meal with drinks comes to about 14 dollars and they deliver it to your door. nbnb

McDonald's is minging. But it's better than Burger King which is even more minging.

What bread are you talking about? (I rarely watch TV). There are like a million breads at my supermarket or about 3 bakeries in the shopping complex to go to. And its called advertising maybe you don't have it in Finland but what happens is when a TV show is on there will be a certain amount of breaks in the programming for adverts. The channel will then sell that air time for what we call money. The TV station then uses that "money" to buy new shows. It's a crazy system but it has worked for a while now.

So can you please name the brand and reasons why it is so unhealthy without seeing the nutritional contents please? I am interested to know.

Your right though kids should be eating chips and candy instead of evil bread. DAMN YOU BREAD WHY DO YOU KILL OUR CHILDREN!

Oh and water is like 28c or something for like a 1L bottle. If that is to costly you can find 3 cans/bottles on the ground/bin and cash them in and then purchase said water. The next time around you will only need 2 additional bottles/cans!

i wonder why your waters cheaper than ours.. but i mean if you really wanna be cheap you can just walk into almost any business and ask for a cup of water, id assume its the same over there also.

That is like no name supermarket water. If you want to buy a 600ml pump from a service station it is prolly around $3-4. Actually just had a look at a food catalogue, 10L for $3.49 (35c/L) I hope that is not to expensive for our finnish tourists

I paid anything from 1-4 euros in Europe (600ml Mount Franklin).

wat... american porn is the worst porn in the world.... well actually German porn is the worst (wtf leather suits, gas masks and everybody gets fisted).

American Porn is all plastic with a barbie looking bitch with fake tits, lips etc... Russian porn is way better for example

Mcdonald's is meh. Personally, I prefer McDowell's. Anyone ever been?

I eat it once or twice a month as a snack on my way home from a night out.
It's good but it is quite costly in Denmark(Third most expensive I think?) but it is probably due to Denmark having the healthiest McDiddys in the world because of some anti-fat-regulation-law that I know nothing about.

Staying in New Zealand for the moment and now I eat it twice a week. 2.5$ for a Bacon BBQ and Cheese burger? omfg please more

Funktion,

Hoping that you're not just a resident troll here (your posts are so belligerent that its hard to tell):
The water I was thinking about was a 1.5Liter bottle (the biggest that can be conveniently carried) which was marked for the price of 3.49 AU dollars. The brand was Mt. Franklin (which had definitely the most shelf space - didn't compare to the small containers because they contain inherent bias in pricing), I guess. At the region I was during that time, the average price for fuel was around 1.4 AU dollars per liter for diesel, and within the standard country deviation for leaded/unleaded.

The bread I was thinking about when writing the post was Baker's Delight white bread with Chia seeds. That bread is definitely considerably more healthier than the rest of the White breads which compose nearly all of the regular supermarket's shelves, and does contain some added omega-3 which is all the rage these days and has probably been clinically proven to help with brain fatties for people with impaired nutritional habits. The bread I was thinking, was rye bread, which is eaten in Finland and quite a few other countries. It is actually healthy. Rye bread has a long history of usage in other countries as well, but has been discarded from supermarkets within the wake of time and replaced with much unhealthier white bread.

No need to shove a jupiter into your nose and get the nationalistic defensive fervor eventhough someone is not pleased with everything in Australia, and expresses it in such close vicinity to the Australia day. The truth is that for most of the parts Australia is an extremely nice country, and definitely one of my favourite countries. That's why I'm here again. Still, given that obesity (*there at the top) runs amok here, it won't hurt to look into what people eat as a possible reason for that. Shit food has the tendency to do that. And by 'ad break' I mean an advertisement break, by which I tried to convey the message that I knew that the following moving pictures were advertisements. It doesn't change the fact that white bread isn't as good for you as rye bread, nor the fact that decent rye bread is extremely hard to find from the supermarkets.

Peace.

*sigh* i'm a hypocrite. I had it the other day. 2 pies, medium fry, new bigmac snack wrap fml.

i missed lunch, its walking distance from school =(

I once went back-to-back drive-thrus coz i wanted Wendys buffalo chicken burger and a BK outlaw burger
