The nearest McDonalds is quite a fair distance away from where I live (about half hour drive) so I don't really eat there. If I'm out nearby and I want something quick I may stop in. I prefer to go to Burger King for my fast food.
Getting pissed and stopping at Maccas on the way home is almost as Australian as getting pissed and stopping by the kebab shop on the way home. But I eat at Macdonalds, drunk or not.
I don't mind McDonalds, some of their stuff is alright to me (but then again Ive had to fire down MREs for sustenance so most other things will taste good compared to it.). But if I had to eat fast food, I'd go for Whataburger, Carl's Jr, or In and Out. Much better tasting burgers to me. But then again being from San Antonio I loooooove me some Taco Cabana. Anyone who believes Taco Bell is Mexican food you are a sad sad deprived person. Nothing like a couple of Carne Guisada tacos or some flautas 
I just wanted everyone to know that this has been repeated and has been constantly different then the Super Size Me results, mostly in loosing weight [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me#Criticism_and_statistical_notes], although I think this is because the guy in Super Size Me was a Vegetarian who rarely ate Fast Food, and the others were probably fast food eaters.floppylobster said:
OT: I saw that movie, didn't care for it, and continued my normal eating habits, which includes McDonalds at least once a week.
Nope. Haven't eaten the stuff since I was, like, 10.
I still go to Burger King and the like though... its more about personal taste than any controversy, I just don't like the food offered at McDonalds.

You are missing the poll option which applies to me: Only when drunk/hungover. Other than these times I rarely eat from a fast food chain. (Can't say the same about the local chicken and chip shop)
Can't remember the last time I did.
No ethical or health reasons, I'm just hardly ever out and about in built up areas...there isn't a McDonalds for miles, I make do with a nice burger in a pub restaurant.

Only if there aren't any other options around. Last time I went in for a burger was 5 years ago. I do pop in for the occasional McFlurry though, those things are awesome.
Supersize me is the stupidest movie of all time. If your life was changed because of it, then I don't know what to tell you other than, you need to think more often. You shouldn't need a damn movie to tell you that McDonalds is bad for you, and that McDonalds is not your bestest friend who has your health as their primary concern. How that movie gets so much recognition for doing nothing but giving obvious information to stupid people I'll never know.
Spurlock used to literally pay people to eat feces and entire jars of Mayo, on "I bet you will" so forgive me if I don't really believe this guy gives a crap about what people put into their mouths.
OT: I eat fast food every once in a while, I generally only go if I haven't had it in a while, and a bunch of other people are going. Like everything in life, just don't overdo it and you'll be fine.

You'd be surprised how ignorant people are. Even with stuff like Supersize me out there, I'm willing to bet that half the people in a McD's don't even have a clue that the food is bad for them. And Supersize me isn't much of an example either, since the problem is far greater than Fast food. I bet 5/6 of the people in a regular supermarket have no idea what crap they have in their baskets. If you think fast food is bad, check out the ingredients in stuff like "preservative-free crisps"... you're better off with that jar of mayo.

You mean "no shit Spurlock" ^^BanthaFodder said:
OT: I try not to, and rarely do, not because it's unhealty, but because it's pricey, doesn't really taste that good (at least in Germany, Burger King is far better) and the food has the magical ability to make you feel hungry again after an hour anyways.
I stopped eating all fast food since February, but only because I started my diet then, I had a McChicken Sandwich near the start of my diet and a Big Mac meal very recently, both times were because of long road trips, if I wasn't on a diet then I would be eating alot more fast foods. So I do fucking love McDonalds, Big Macs are delicious, but in order to keep my weight loss consistent, they need to be very rare treat.
Yes. I know that it's a terrible place to eat at, but fuck it, the school serves shit that will only keep you stuffed for a few hours, and after that you're literally starving and there's a McDonald a few hundred meters away. Also, I'm not that good at cooking, so when I'm home alone, it gets boring to eat the same shit over and over again.
Luckily for my self-indulgent unhealthy self, I'm out of money, so no going down there for me.
Also, I'm not worried about gaining weight. If anything, I'm worried about losing weight. Just weighed myself and realized that my BMI is going down to the "underweight" area, so I'll gladly fatten up.
