It's a restaurant.
I don't really like their food but whenever I get a 'FREE FRIES' coupon I use it.
However, aside from that I've only eaten there two times in my entire life.

McDonald's gets attacked way too much for what it's actually accountable for in terms of obesity. Everyone always picks on the big guy.

Disgustingly tasty. Well, one can only really taste the bun and the cheese. And the McCicken sauce. The chicken/beef is tasteless and their bacon is harder to chew through than a pieceof cardboard.

well if i don't feel like cooking and don't want to spend more than about $5... I can get three double cheeseburgers and a medium fry... and that'll be about $4.36 taking Nashville sales tax into consideration.

If I want to be a bit more healthy, I can get three double cheeseburgers and a side salad... same price. hehe

Back on topic: McDonalds isn't too bad. The food is alright if all you're looking for is a cheap meal. And going there regularly will probably lead to you occupying an XXXL coffin before your time. They are partially responsible for the obesity issue, but not as responsible as they are sometimes made out to be.
To put it another way: No, McDonalds did not make you fat. You eating a lot of their food made you fat. Yes they should have made you aware of the fact that their food isn't very healthy through the display of nutritional information, but you did still eat a lot of their food, over a considerable period of time, so you must shoulder some of the blame.
In Ireland Mc Donalds are putting bananas into their Happy Meals, but only for a limited time. I wonder why?

Their burgers taste like crappy salt patties, what I imagine cooked boogers would taste like. Thier chicken is watery. (though, oddly enough not as watery as KFC, which almost resembles some sort warm solid water.)

Overall, it's a pass. The fries are good, but not good enough to justify going.

Again, fully aware of how toxic/greasy/unhealthy that thing is. So is a lot of thrash that we eat. I'm saying eating that once a year won't cause any problems; I fully know eating there, or in any fast-food(McDo and the likes included) is gonna result in serious health problems.

Just like in that movie, "Supersize Me": of course it's expected to put on a lot of weight and get health problems by eating 3 times a day in fastfood. I'm not convinced McDonald's is any worse or better than other fast-food counters on this matter.

If you're in a hurry, don't have much money and don't mind that everything tastes pretty much the same. I's ok. They have some options now that are trying to approach healthy - some have actually brushed up against it - salads and grilled chicken sandwiches and the like - you can request that they don't put sauce or mayonaisse on them.

Being one of the few on this forum that is involved in agriculture.....I don't eat at McD's because I see the type of cattle they buy. I would list and give detailed descriptions but some of you may have weak stomachs. On the other hand, It gives me a place to sell the old, sick, and nearly dead. 15 cents per pound is better than nothing.

Why does everyone keep pointing out the obvious;

If you eat there it's at your own risk, oh wait, it's the same with all food - with odd exceptions where you burn the calories off just by eating the item (apple) - food contains calories, live with it.

Ever look at Dairy Queen's?
One of their large Cookies & Cream Blizzards contains 1200 Calories

Now please, stop pointing out health hazards of eating fast food.
It's painfully over-done.

A long, long time ago... or was it just a few years back - I dunno, not too too important - anyway, I'd heard this story through the grapevine about McDonald's. They recognized that a good portion of their off-peak business was coming from seniors, lured by the relatively low prices on the basic McDonald's hamburger. And not wanting to lose that demographic, McDonald's kept the price of their basic hamburger so low that by the early 90s (which is when I probably first heard this info, I'm inclined to say now)they were effectively losing money on their basic hamburgers.

They made it back on fries and beverages, but once you factored in all the costs associated with producing a McDonald's burger, they were down about 23 cents (Canadian) per burger served. I realized that it might be possible to topple a fast-food giant buy simply buying their product. So for years, when confronted with the prospect of eating at a McDonald's, I'd surrepticiously consume my own beverages and order only hamburgers. That made me feel better about it - thinking they might be losing money in the end.

I don't know if it was truthful or not, I certainly can't imagine it continuing to be the situation all these years later. I have no insights into McDonald's as I haven't eaten there in eight years at least.

(it was many years since I ate any non-vegetarian food there, but from what I remember, it was of the same "quality") Note that I have little against fast-food (I don't eat it too often however; once to twice a week. this is not for health reasons) in general, providing it is actually tasty.

It's vile stuff, if you ask me - which you did.

But if people will insist upon eating like children, then I suppose that it is inevitable that large franchise chains will open up catering to that.

I am always bemused however, when people debate the various merits of fast food chains (and their more upscale bretheren like fridays). How people can get passionate over whether the processed feces in Burger King is better than the pasturized vomit in McDo's is quite beyond me. Likewise, does it matter if either Ruby Tuesdays or Appleby's is your prefered location for poisoning your palate?

I would like to see a world where people supported independant mid range restaurants though. But I doubt it will happen considering the english speaking obsession with labels.

We dont eat at McDonald's very often. A few times a year-maybe 3 or 4.

I remember when I was a teenager loving the food, but now it doesnt appeal to me and when I do eat it, I usually feel lousy afterwards.
My kids dont beg to eat there, as I've seen some of our friend's children whine for it.

a few weeks ago,we were stuck in traffic on the highway. As we approached a rest stop, I pulled off to let the kids stretch, use the bathroom etc. McDonalds was the fast food place in there, so I ordered 5 cheeseburgers as a snack, not knowing how long the traffic would last. The two people I dealt with at the counter-neither spoke English. 10 minutes later, a mile away, we found that 2 of the five cheeseburgers had only cheese-no hamburger patty on them. I had to laugh as there was no reasonable way to return and complain.

I just dont care for fast food in general and I'm never in that much of a hurry that we cant stop somewhere and eat better food.

McDonald's

Since I can't think of any more slogans, i'm gonna explain a McDonalds commercial:

Ronald McDonald is at a crosswalk, eating a Big Mac. Some kids join him. Suddenly, Ronald's spandex outfit rips off, and a big, very very very fat Ronald McDonald emerges, released from more than 40+ years from being squeezed in an outfit that barely fit. The force of the inflation throws all the kids far away. Then, Ronald McDonald crosses the street, not knowing a bus is heading for him at high speed. Just before the bus hits Ronald McDonald, we switch to above Earth, hovering far up over the spot of the crosswalk. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the bus hit Ronald McDonald, he exploded. Everything within 457 ft. was either blown away, or knocked down flat when the shockwave hit.:D :D :D :D

My problem with McDonalds is they are completely numb and null to the idea that perhaps someone might go there because they're hungy. The burgers are so tiny and they got rid of super size just because some moron didn't have self control.
Seriously, last time I went there my stomach was still rumbling when I walked out the door. I felt like I was completely ripped off. You should never pay for food and still feel just as hungry leaving the place as you did comming in.
I just go to Wendys or Burger King instead. Better food and decent serving sizes.

Pat that they dont allow their workers to join thrade unions and employ spies to make sure of it-there have been cases where mcdonals has employed so many spies that it spies end up spying on spies.
They dont give a crap about what kind of shit they feed to kids theyjust want your money.

yes i believe they could be better. one of the ways in which they could is by not existing.

there are several others also.

you say you're a vegitarian? that's ok, you can eat the hamburgers here, there's hardly any real meat in them anyway.

i mean if fast food joints are going to sell burgers that are 70% or more 'texpro' (that's the actual name of the product, textured vegetable protien, mostly soy), the ought to have to say openly that yes, our burgers are 70 (or whatever it happens to be) textured soy sawdust.

and what about nonburgers?

i'd rather have noodles and broth, with a even a little REAL meat it, then breadcrumbs on a bun anyway.

oh gee, you mean they'd have to hire people to was real bowls instead of filling landfills with styro trays or little flimsy cardboard boxes? gee wouldn't that be awful.

i've heard in other (non u.s.) countries they've had to offer real food. i wish they'd do that here.

(ok what they make really does exist so i guess you could call that real. but the food part is at least a tiney bit questionable)

how about a battered mushrooms, zuks and onion rings medly, with a nachose cheeze sauce on top, if they want to keep using those damd deep fat machines?

and a big chocklet mocha shake with real decaff coffee in it instead of having to order both and mix them yourself.

there are lots of good yummys that could be done in a fast food style.
as long as people are willing to pay for crap they'll keeping dishing it out.

i think the problem is, people go into a hamburger joint looking for something on a bun called a hamburger, and don't even taste what the're shoving in their gut.

i think if people voted with their dollars for something else we could have it.
i don't let macdog's off the hook for that, just recognize the reality of it.

McD is nothing more then a vice. Rather crappy one at that. I saw a guy talk about them and one thing they employ is a flavor enhancer powder.

He said to run an experiment. Purchase a 2 for 1 hamburger deal. Eat one an note the taste. Toss the other in a fridge and then recook it or reheat it. You will notice a drastic difference.

I have cut way down to where it just a "hey why not" type of thing. I made this change when I was on a job in another state and McD was the only thing open when I finished for the night. It always turned my stomach when I ate it really late.

The food is not my favorite, and the questionable ethics and having watched supersize me don't really help.

They do get picked on a bit too much by people though. It isn't their fault that people eat their expensive garbage and get fat. If you were to eat two normal home-grilled hamburgers, which are gennerally less fatty, with all of the same topings, you would still get fat.

Even better, if you went to Wal-Mart and bought the materials to make a lasangna or casserole, and went home and made it your self, not only would it cost less depending on the size of your family, but it is healthier and won't make you as fat.

My family eats good home-cooked food every night, and it almost always costs us less than buying a meal at McDonalds. Sure, if we all got a dollar menu item, that would change, but I regulaly eat a quarter-pounder, as does the rest of my family. And it tastes better.

Agreed.

The one honest selling-point of any fast-food outlet is the brevity of the experience. They're all pretty much designed to relay (admittedly, sub-par quality) food to the consumer in as brief a time as possible. That being said, I've seen people, even been with people, who fail to grasp this one singular quality.

I had found myself in the unenviable position of having no option available, other than to queue with literally hundreds of other travellers, at a McDonald's outlet cunningly combined with a filling station alongside a major highway. My travelling companions all made a point of ordering items they knew would be in high demand (burgers/fries/pop), as the atmosphere of the place (flourescent lighting, naughahide booths, plastic tables and swivel-chairs bolted to the floor - all in varying shades of yellow) was so unremittingly crass and vulgar *cue the squalling babies and the sweating, irritable drivers* that noone of us wanted to stay longer than was absolutely necessary in order to consume the pseudo-food and get back on the road.

Well, with the exception of one of our companions. He has never really understood the concept of fast-food. He decided he wanted a McPizza (this was some time back), even though he was told it would 'take some time'. So while the rest of us were all served in less than a minute, and the actual consumption of the pseudo-food took less than ten minutes, he was still waiting for his dratted McPizza another fifteen minutes after we'd taken our refuse to the garbage bin.

Thanks to his lack of forethought, we had to spend something like forty-five minutes in the presence of unhappy toddlers, oversized baby strollers, argumentative families going to or from vacations, and everything else entailed by the McDonald's milieu.

While I might consider the occasional forayin the name of necessity, I generally avoid such places altogether. But if I am there, waiting in line, I'll make goddamn sure to order only those items that will be ready in as short a span of time as possible - as I am thoroughly, definitely, undeniably only there to purchase, consume and go.

Have you people ever heard of the RMHC?

"A strong mind. A strong body. And a safe, supportive place to grow. These are things that every child needs - and deserves.

Helping to provide these things is what we do.

By creating, finding and supporting programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is working to better the lives of children and their families around the world.

The three core programs of RMHC - the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile - are focused on helping families in need. Our cornerstone Ronald McDonald House program began in 1974 based on a simple idea: Provide a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. Since that time, more than 10 million families around the world have benefited from the comfort provided by a Ronald McDonald House.

The Ronald McDonald Family Room program extends the comfort of a Ronald McDonald House to a hospital setting. Typically located just steps from neonatal or pediatric intensive care units, the Family Room provides a place to escape the stress and tension of the hospital.

Through relationships with local health care providers, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program brings cost-effective medical, dental and health education services directly to underserved children in both rural and urban areas around the world.

In addition to supporting the core programs, RMHC and our global network of local Chapters in 48 countries have awarded more than $400 million dollars in grants and program services worldwide to make an immediate, positive impact on as many children as possible. Together with support from hundreds of thousands of passionate and caring volunteers, donors and RMHC staff, we've had plenty of success."
