    I once heard that if you put McDonalds food in the fridge for a year, it will look exactly the same when you take it out. I'm thinking if mold is smart enough to not eat the stuff. . .

    It won't keep you full for long& if you've been doing welll with your eating then you may feel crappy afterwards like the others have said.

    Ultimately it's up to you, don't feel guilty if you do!

    Oooo, think about it this way: Eating McD versus a clean meal is like putting 87 octane gasoline in a Lexus...it'll run, but it you'd really need the 93 octane gasoline to get the horsepower and gas mileage intended for the vehicle. So, McD may not "hurt" you calories-wise, but it will effect your body's performance. :)

    I can't give a good reason other than that it's full of gluten and that makes me sick, but it doesn't make you sick...so, I'm absolutely no help.

    Go for other foods like Subway, El Pollo Loco etc...

    Even taco shops in California are healthier choices than the chain fast food places... hell even non chain fast food places are better they usually have higher quality ingredients and cook it the way its suppose to be cooked...

    McDonald's french fries can lay in your car for months and never get moldy, they only get "hard" after a time. Even fly's in your car will not eat them. hum... is that a good enough reason... I am thinking a big YES to that.

    Super Size Me is a 2004 American documentary. Spurlock's film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003 during which he eats only McDonald's food. Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, eating every item on the chain's menu.

    As a result, the then-32-year-old Spurlock gained 24½ lbs. (11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and fat accumulation in his liver. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight gained from his experiment using a vegan diet .

    After five days Spurlock has gained 9.5 pounds (4.5 kg). It is not long before he finds himself experiencing depression, and he claims that his bouts of depression, lethargy, and headaches could be relieved by eating a McDonald's meal.

    By the end of the month he weighs about 210 pounds (95.5 kg), an increase of about 24.5.

    I had it today I felt terrible, I felt terrible after reading what I read never again there's better food out there.

    Fast food=Fast waist line.

    It doesn't even taste that good. You think you want it, you eat it quickly, and it isn't satisying. You would probably have more fun with a Snicker's bar and get more nut-ritionally from it.

    See, i'm more of a salty girl, so Snickers does not sound great. And YOUR openion about how it tastes is not compelling. you are right though, it's generally not satisfying

    If you heard, recently a guy had his 25,000th (or similar) Big Mac. He bought them in bulk and left them in his fridge and microwaved them. Yeah, I would say that's pretty scary.

    Check out the movie...Super Size Me.
    She was talking about one meal, not having 3 meals a day for 30 days-there's a difference.

    Other than it's horribly nasty food. They kill the bacteria in their burgers (and by bacteria I also mean animal waste) with ammonia. That's right. Your burger had an ammonia bath before you ate it. Eating the chicken? The chicken was sitting in a cage where it can't move sitting paralyzed in it's own waste. Does that help? LOL!
