http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/17/investing/mcdonalds-franchisees-survey/index.html It's amazing it took this long for people to wake up and cut back on eating this garbage Mcdonalds attempts to call food.
...^^^ I don't mind stopping in for a $1 Coca-Cola, but that's it, ....... Did anyone here see Morgan Spurlock's 2 hour documentary, on "eating 3 meals a day at McDonalds for a Month"....? An experiment Morgan documented, which was telecast on CNN, TBS too......... If I'm not mistaken Spurlock won some kind of award for this documentary. If you've not seen it, it may be a bit long winded, but IS worth the Watch.......!
Spurlock won the Best Director Award, for this documentary....... If you don't want to watch the entire documentary above, here's a trailer, and others exists on You Tube......
Yup as I remember he got very sick. In fairness though a strictly high fat diet of anything for a month will do that.
yeah, and His Dr. asked him: "you are going to stop this after a month right?" Spurlock gained 20 lbs, his cholestrol went thru the roof, and Morgan had to be put on Hypertension meds....... I've got 1 out of 6 sisters, who is #1 taller than 5' feet (My Mom was only 4'8") #2 She's ate/eats fast food predominantly for the better part of 16 yrs, and weighs, no shit, 421 lbs........ #3 to add insult to ignorance, she pays for her fast food with a fkn credit card.......... Mickey D's food must poison the mind as well......
...to be fair, McDonald's is far from the worst, not just in calories but total fat, and sodium too...but using common sense and eating moderation goes a long way. ...fries, burgers, and sandwiches; http://www.acaloriecounter.com/fast-food.php
I do enjoy a bacon egg and cheese biscuit a couple times a year, the rest they can keep, a real scarf and barf in the truest sense.
Good point, and thanks for the chart....... My sister eats more at Jack In the Box, Carl's Jr., and Burger King; than Micky D's....and all appear to be worse for the wear than McD's......Incredible diff b/t McD's and BK or J in the Box's Sodium Content and overall Fat content........Thanks, 59..........!!! My own choice is always In-N-Out, about once a month. I used to take my little brother to the San Fernando In-N-Out, when it was still the 1st one in the Nation, (a decade or 2 prior to In-N-Out, Franchising).......
PS: If I had to use a Freight Scale to weigh myself, that would be the moment I quit eating..... (which is her case)......!
I'd still take McDonalds over Wendy's & Burger King any day. But to be honest to much of any of these types of venues are no good for you. I may have McDonald's once a month & White Castle once every few months. As long as you don't over indulge you'll be fine.
Been a long time since I've been in California but when I lived in San Diego Jack in the Box was the original scarf & barf. If I want a burger out any more I head to Steak & Shake or Five Guys. We also have a couple of Mom & Pop Places close by one very baseball oriented (but Rays Fans) that do burgers nice.
Still the scarf and barf, I can't stand any burger that is fried on a grill, ......they usually all taste like grease 100%....... White Castle to me, has always been enemy #1, due to their responsibility in turning a drunken binge hangover to the next level; an hour after gorging on those White Castle little square burgers, with reconstituted onions.........Yep, that's it, it was White Castle's fault I got drunk one too many times.......
Yup, moderation is the key. In fact for people that are workout freaks you would be surprised at what they consume on their cheat days. One guy used to say that's the day you eat the entire bag of oreos. Unfortunately, people do eat this crap everyday and it gets further personified by idiots like Jared who had people thinking a diet of processed food from Subway was a good thing.
...as far as McDonald's alone, their coffee is great and down here they also have a fried chicken breast breakfast biscuit that is great...their fries are pretty good but that's about all I eat from there. ...don't know if they still serve it but Hardees/Carl Jrs used to offer a fried boneless pork chop biscuit that was incredible. ...I don't eat nearly as much fast food as I used to, probably because I'm simply not in town as much anymore...hell, some of the stuff I cook at home is just as bad as a lot of fast food...for example, tonight I'm making fried pork nuggets, fresh lima beans, fresh corn with a strip on bacon wrapped around it and then wrapped in tin foil and roasted, made from scratch cracklin' bread,...and of course "the house wine of the South", fresh brewed sweet tea. ...(my Brother in law wants me to divorce his Sister and marry him)
When I lived up North there were plenty of great Local Mom and Pop Sub Shops and Pizza Places. Never could understand how the chain places got in there. The squeeze brought home a Subway Sandwich the other day offered me a bite and the damn thing tasted like soap.
...lol...we.re not work out freaks by any means but me and my wife work out every weekday morning for about 1/2 hour rotating upper and lower body day and so we stay in pretty damned good shape for our age...but almost every day is a cheat day for us because we both like our beer and a lot of the food we eat is high in fat content...but at least one noght a week we have nothing but a big salad (loaded) for supper and one night a week we also have broiled/blackened fish. (swai) ...but on the weekends, anything goes.
...I know their bread is "baked fresh" there at Subway shops but it tastes nothing like fresh bread to me...yeah, they're filling, but that's about all I can say good about them
Any studies done on the results of eating steak & potatoes with dessert everyday at the some of the very BEST steakhouses in the country?
