Poll: Do you eat McDonalds?

[BanthaFodder]

Yes, because it's absolutely fantastic and I love it.

All I got from Super Size Me is that if you eat loads of calories and don't exercise, you'll get fat. Truly ground-breaking stuff, right there.

/thread
as much as I love that movie, I do agree, you eat nothing but Mickey D's and get no exercise and you get fat, no shit Sherlock.

OT: McDonald's is great. yeah, it's bad for you, but who cares? it tastes good so long as you get exercise and keep a balanced diet it won't screw you up. it won't make you fat if you don't let it, but the same could be said for any food.

 

[Caligulust]

I occasionally do. I try to avoid fast food if can. On a similar note, I have never had a hamburger from McDonald's. Or anywhere for that matter, except for one restaurant.

The problem with Supersize Me is the guy's portions were way too large. Anyone eating as much as he did would surely gain weight. The food isn't exactly nutritious, but portioning it properly will not cause drastic weight gain.

Every once in a blue moon, I'll have a burger there. But it is very rare that I do anymore.

I'm more of a Carl's Jr. guy myself.

Did McDonalds really suffer that much?

They recovered fairly quickly by changing their menu. Now theyre muscling in on KFC's chicken specialising as well as having the McCafe and all the rest...

They're doing better than ever I think.

And yes i Love Maccas, though i eat everything else as well lol (that should of been an option in the poll)

 

[Asuka Soryu]

Once and awhile, I mean I've proabably eaten theer once this year and that's it. I usualy get a burger, fries and soda.

Last year, twice.

 

[Dwarfman]

I have never liked the stuff and on the rarest occasion I've eaten it I've always ended the day with a nasty stomach ache.

It's been nearly a decade since I've eaten maccas and the only time I go there is for the McCafe

 

[Zhukov]

Nope.

I remember the first time I went to Macca's as a kid. My burger roll was soggy. Urrgh.

 

[evilneko]

I hate their food, so no. I do eat at most other fast food places though.

 

[baker80]

Yes because it is convenient. Plus you say that you 'know what you are getting' and that you swore off their 'meat' for life. Super Size Me showed that the fries are the most chock full of the worst preservatives and junk. Think about that next time you are chomping those down.

Not kidding. Ever seen that time lapse video someone made of a bunch of of McD fries? Three months and those things didn't even show a spot of mold. They're basically made of plastic.

 

[zexxar]

From time to time I still go to a McDonals but I prefer Burger King.

 

[Mordekaien]

It depends, if I have time to search for something other instead, I'll go with that.

 

[Artina89]

No I detest McDonalds. I did watch Supersize me but I thought that it was a ridiculous documentary. I mean, who would purposefully eat nothing but fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a prolonged period of time. I know of noone who would put their body through that. I may not eat at McDonalds, but if I am at a friends and they ask whether or not we go to KFC and get a bargain bucket, I will always put my contribution in, I love KFC.

 

[Thundero13]

Since I stopped all those years ago... that is, about 7 years ago, i've only gone once & I got sick afterwards so no, I do not eat macdonalds anymore

 

[AvsJoe]

Yes, though not as often as I did when I was living on my lonesome. I've cut down my fast food intake quite a bit in the last few months, and have gained over 20 lbs since! Seriously, gained, not lost. It's like quitting smoking, your weight spikes right afterward.

 

[Llil]

No. If I want a bad hamburger, I go to Hesburger instead. But really the only fast food place I go to these days is Subway. Fast food is really expensive though, so I don't eat it very often.

 

[VladG]

Last time I ate there, I was abroad, I was hungry, and it was the first food establishment I found. I don't eat there if I can avoid it, or most fast food joints for that matter(they aren't any better). Occasional Pizza and Shawarma (or döner kebab for you westerners)is all I have, and those are far better health-wise. Normally I don't really put much thought into what I eat, but McD's is so horribly bad it managed to break me.

 

[VladG]

McDonald's does deserve harsh criticism for calling that stuff food, since most of it has as much in common with food as the plastic tray you're eating off (and it's not just McDonald's, but they kinda started the trend and seem to be ahead of the game). And yes, you likely are addicted to it, since plenty of food additives they use have been proven to be addictive. However, I don't care one bit if other people like to eat there. It's their choice

 

[SonicKoala]

I work there, and anything I eat while working is free. So yes, I eat there. No, it's not good for you, but as long as one exercises and eats other foods which are actually nutritious, then there really isn't any harm done. And for the most part, the food there tastes good. Not great, but good.
