Only if I'm looking for a cheap bite to eat... or when they have Happy Meal Toys that I want. Right now I have three from their current Pokemon line. I hope to get more before it discontinues. D:
Poll: Do you eat McDonalds?

of course I still eat McDonalds their food is great. Supersize me was stupid plus I think some of those court cases are bull I mean really if you eat fattening food all your life you shouldn't sue the people that made the food for makeing you fat the only person you can blame is yourself.
Okay, so you watched Super Size Me, and then decided that you wouldn't eat McDonalds meat but would still eat the fries that are so chock full of preservatives and god knows what else that they never got moldy or otherwise visibly decayed?!floppylobster said:
Besides, one of the things you should take from Super Size Me is "Don't eat this shit every day." Every once in a great while is not going to be the end of you, but McDonalds should not be your regular meal place.
yes but only because the dollar double cheese burgers are drool worthy...
when i do decide to try something else, i'm sad that i didn't just get a double cheese burger

The whole "Supersize Me" thing was interesting. On the one hand, I think it was beneficial, in that it forced companies like McDonald's to become more transparent. And, honestly, I think McDonald's does a pretty good job of that now. You know exactly what you're getting.
And, really, that's all I expect from any fast food place. Consumers can ultimately decide not to eat there, so I really think they should be able to sell whatever crap they want, as long as they aren't hiding anything.
It really bothers me when people blame these companies for them being fat or having health problems. Even when they weren't completely transparent. I mean, was it not common knowledge 10-20 years ago that burgers and fries were by no means healthy food, even if you made them yourself? I've definitely always known it. McDonalds didn't need to put nutrition information on all their products for me to know that their burgers were full of fat and calories, and their fries were drenched with salt. And, speaking as someone who used to be pretty chunky, I would never, ever blame my decision to eat crap food on the company that produces it.
I'll eat at McDonalds, or any other fast food place. Arby's is my favorite. The local stores make some damn tasty burgers, though American locations I've been to have been disgusting. However, like any junk food that tastes good... I don't eat it with any regularity. Maybe 3-5 times a year, on average.

A few times a month, along with other kinds of fast food, it's really an issue of convenience for me.
What, that eating nothing but greasy fast food for every meal of the day and never exercising for an entire month is BAD for your health? This is an outrage! Next I suppose you'll tell me that smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day and sunbathing for 30 hours a week is also bad for my health? Poppycock!floppylobster said:
yes. I like there food and all of that things saying "there meat isn't real! are false its just beef really its is no lie. the fry thing is weird though because i used to work there and all it is is potatoes in animal-fat based oil. And I make regulatory visits to the golden arches when the Mcrib comes back I dont know how or what THOSE are made out of but im suspecting its rainbows.
I put no, but perhaps I should put rarely. I ate a Big Mac meal there some time in June for some random holiday. But before that I hadn't had Mc D's in 10 years. There are better, healthier places to eat.
It isn't only the health issue, Mc D burgers cost a ton now. Same with BurgerKing. I can't afford it.

If i'm with my friends in town and need something quick, I'm not gonna deny the fact it tastes good... I know it's bad and incredibly fattening but who gives a crap?
I eat there every once in awhile. I like Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets. Even after seeing Super Size Me and read an article about what really goes into making the Nuggets I still go there.
Super Size Me didn't bother me because I never had the urge to eat McDonald's for every meal for every day. Obviously you would gain a lot of weight and get sick of it if you eat there that much. It is basically common sense. I have no sympathy for the people who sued McDonald's for making them fat. I always thought that was pretty stupid.

mmm not anymore. I did at one point but, now i avoid it at all costs. The only time i DO eat it, is when im on a long trip and i cant find a subway or something. Im not a health nut by any means, but i try to eat healthy when i can. Fast Food always ends up making me feel sick after an hour or two so.
Yes I do. I have ever since I was a toddler. I always order a 10 peice chicken mc nugget with large fries. Now i'm feeling hungry.
