    I just had an Angus Bacon & Cheese meal and I went over my calorie count already. One meal and that's it. First and last time I'll be ordering this.

    The thought of feeding a dog fast food sends shivers up my spine. That's awful.

    Oh come on, spare me, dogs eat their own *kitten* for heaven's sake, and you get shivers from an odd hamburger.??..puuuhleaze!
    What I find most interesting about this whole thing is how we seem far more concerned about what we feed our dogs than what we feed ourselves, now that's SAD.:noway:

    For someone that wouldn't feed their dog that type of food, is it really food you've never eaten yourselves? That's what I'm referring too.:wink:

    IDK what you other Californians are talking about. :noway: When I am in town visiting, I always take my nephew out to McD's, with my sister, and all three of us order Happy Meals so that my nephew can get three toys! We even ask at the counter to make sure we're getting three different toys. Nobody has ever told us we can't have toys, nobody has ever looked at me or my sister as if we are too old for a happy meal. Never a question, never a problem...

    the good news is that after you eat healthier for a while you'll probably find that mcdonalds doesn't actually taste good at all....

    i can only barely manage to eat their breakfast mcmuffin these days

    Okay I am a store manager at McDonald's I don't know where you went to get your food but there is NO age limit to getting a happy meal.

    It's funny how the topic is divided about age limit for Happy Meals. Interesting how it is incorporated in some areas & not others. I live in Tampa Bay area, FL and the first time I was asked if the Happy Meal was for a child was about 12 years ago. I just about fell over.

    It's a new thing, and it might just be in my county.

    Theres probably more nutrition in its poop then in a hamburger. probably tastes better too!
    also. poop doesnt give diabetes, obesity and heart attacks!

    I vote poop!

    and you would know that how?? I didn't find any nutrinonal values for dog poop on calorie king...hmmmmmm

    I run in to this at tons of places. Having had lap band surgery, I often get "kids" meals since I plain can't eat that much. If the restaurant gives me grief, I don't order anything and just share with my husband. They make less money and I still get fed.

    Haven't been to a McDonalds this year but the last time I went I got a kids meal and for my drink ordered a regular coffee. Pretty sure they knew it was for an adult! No problem getting one for an adult in Ohio.

    I mean, I pretty much hate McD's in the first place and their food always gives me the worst stomach, uh, problems, but refusing a sale because of age? That's stupid. A sale is a sale is a sale! All goes to their bottom line regardless of if the buyer is 10, 25, or 40!

    I happy meal is one of the cheaper meals. If they say adults cant have one they're basically attempting to force you to buy something that's more expensive.

    Yeah a sale is a sale but selling something worth £1.99 isn't as good as forcing a sale of £4-5

    I get kids meals all the time. Even in some of the nicer restaurants. I just tell them I have a medical condition & can't eat much if they ask. They don't usually even bother & if they don't like it I go elsewhere! Some people should not work w/ the public!! LMAO!

    Since I read that MDs has one of the healthiest fast food breakfasts, the egg mcmuffin, I decided to look up their nutrition. They have a handy little tool where you can choose a menu item and then elimimate the items you don't eat. For example I created a food item on MFP for my english muffin and fish sandwich made the way I eat it, minus the meat, half the muffin, and no margerine. Go to the link below and at the bottom of the page click Create a meal. I'll be checking the sites of other places where I eat often.
