    Luckily for me, I live in Europe, where regulations on all meat are much stricter. No steroid cows, no chemicals, if they say it's 100% *insert meat* it will be said meat. Sure, i might be cow eyeballs and testicles and very little "real" meat but it all comes from an animal, and tastes omnom
    Cows in Europe talk funny.

    lol but they do taste better! I hate McD's here in the good ole USofA but when I was in Paris for a month I ate there a lot more often that I should have... but hey I was on "vacation" - study abroad :smile:

    Honestly before all this weight loss things I did eat fast food almost everyday. Yes I'm guilty of it. The only thing that was great was the convenience (quick), price, and the taste. Since then I lost weight and cut down fast food to about once every 2 weeks or so.

    I'm sorry, but if you think it's OK to feed your family BK whoppers once or twice a week, you are kidding yourself.

    Their burgers are treated with AMMONIA.


    Not only do they treat their burgers with ammonia, they mix bleach in with their mayo, spit on your pickles, their wrappers have an anthrax base, and they pepper spray your kids as they walk in the door!

    Yeah, I can't believe these places don't advertise by saying "Our food is quite unhealthy and the profit margin is astronomical! Go home and make your family a proper dinner" - It's like they are trying to make money or something

    Plus all the beef in Scotland is usually from Angus cows...it's realy funny because they make a fortune in England selling special "angus" burgers, but up here it's like..."um, what's so special about that, they're all angus cows here!" My english friends came up to visit at the weekend and were really annoyed to see that we get angus steak/sausages/everything the same price as other sausages/steak/everything, while they have to pay extra money for it :L

    Let people have their treats

    Not everyone abuses fast food after all :)

    And if they can feed 3 people on $9.99 as a treat then so be it, more power to them... it's only if people abuse it, people cite Fast Food companies as the devil but at the end of the day they do serve a purpose... people don't have to be nutritious all the time sometimes they want junk.

    While there are much better choices to eat, a Whopper Jr. w/o Mayo and Cheese (according to the BK website) is only 260 calories, 10g fat, 13g protien, 29g carbs and 460mg sodium.

    I like Burger King. The fake smoky taste of their burgers makes me happy.

    We use a real fire, I promise! (Doesn't make it any less fake and delicious though.)

    As for ammonia, you really think it's exclusively fast food beef that's soaked in ammonia? No, that includes beef from all major meat producers that supply your grocery store too.

    Yep ::nods head::

    That's why the only fast food my kid will eat is Chik-Fil-A, b/c I'm pretty sure they sprinkle their fruit cups with crack.

    Scottish cows talk funny and wear kilts. True story. Back me up here, kid.

    I actually loved it when I saw the 9.99 pack.

    That comes out to two value meals for me with 2 drinks.
    And a kids meal for my little one. And she can play in the playground for a few.


    Feel free to point me to something other than "supersize me" that says enjoying fast food is going to have a negative effect on my health.
