Poll: Do you eat McDonalds?

[Bakuryukun]

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.

 

[teebeeohh]

no, if i ever have a desire for fast there are usually better alternatives than some big fast food joint.

btw thanks to McDonalds it took me 10 years to convince my parents that burgers are bad in general.

 

[Zeema]

Rarely

i don't really enjoy the stuff. its not filling its bad for you......Oh and theres the lots of kids who i can't stand.

@Bakuryukun

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.

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.

You mean "no shit Spurlock" ^^

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.

 

[Dragonforce525]

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.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

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.

 

[Android2137]

Yeah, when I'm hungry and it's conveniently there. I don't eat as much fast food as I used to since Mom started coming home and expecting me to cook meals for her. (Me being jobless and her being jobful and all...)

 

[yohlazy]

I do but only because I WORK there not because I want to

 

[Death666Angel]

I go there when I get hungry on a night out or when I need something quick to eat and I can't go home due to time issues. So about once or twice a month. People who needed "Supersize me" (which was not without its controversies) to tell them that eating at McD every day can be detrimental to their health have serious problems.

 

[Frenger]

When I was on vacation, it dawned on me that it tastes the same no matter where you go! No hint of local flavour, no, it tastes exactly the same. But I guess that's how it's suppose to be, it's not like they actually cook the food there.

Ate at McD at home and in #%&##"¤%ing Tokyo, could not tell the difference. They did have a burger with egg and mayo, that was pretty good but still, I avoid that place now unless a friend wants to go. I never go there by myself.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I've probably eaten there a half dozen times this year, but it's mostly been for breakfast since I was in a hurry and there's one not terribly far from my house.

As a general rule though, I stay away from fast food. I like their breakfast better than any other fast food place I've tried though. Last year, I don't think I ate any McD's, but I had BK once, and the year before that...I don't think that I ate any fast food.

I tend to stay away from the stuff because it's really not all that great. It's not a calorie issue with me, it's a taste issue. If it was better, I'd probably eat it a little more, but the only real thing it has going for it is that it's cheap and fills the void long enough for me to get where I'm going and make plans for lunch/dinner, depending on the time of day.

 

[Bigsmith]

It depends on several things.

What time is it?
Where I am?
Do I have vouchers for a different place?

Normally this leads me to subway. Cause breakfast sub and drink for £2? Please.

But yes, I do eat occasionally at McDonalds, the last time was whilst I was in Bristol on the 22nd of April. :3

 

[Brutal Peanut]

I think McDonalds is gross. The only places deemed 'fast-food' that I can eat at, that wont make me feel sick, are In'N'Out and Chipotle.

 

[wetfart]

I haven't been to McDonalds in years. The only fast food I eat with any consistency now is either Subway or Chik-Fil-A.

 

[5t3v0]

I work there... but yes. Strangely. I guess the discount and the realistic portion sizes they have here in Australia contributes to that. Speaking of which, I need to eat there less. Being on school holidays and working alot means that I have been eating there alot due to my halfprice lunch discount... At the behest of my heart. ugh... Definately going somewhere else for lunch tomorrow...

 

[ThePirateMan]

Not unless I find myself incredibly hungry and it's the only thing around.

 

[Daddy Go Bot]

When you're shitfaced and it's 6 AM and you're on your way home from a party, it's the only thing I know.

 

[dex-dex]

I only eat it because my dad loves that place and when we go to the cottage, he wants to eat it when we have a pit stop.
I never go on my own and if I do go then friends are with me and there is only a McFlurry in my future. and to make it ten times more awesome...

that is like oral sex in a cup!

 

[Zing]

Yes. It's amazing while drunk/high.
