    I don't eat fast food, but I'm not doing it for any moral or political reasons. I just don't eat unhealthy crap that stinks bad, tastes like garbage and makes me feel sick. In fact, just passing by some of those places the smell turns my stomach. :sick:

    I think I am going to go out shopping now and maybe even buy some gear at Sports Authority and then grab some fast food at Panda Express or Burger King.

    I had the same thought earlier. I'm gonna buy all my workout clothes at Sports Authority. Then for lunch I'm gonna get my favorite Famous Star from Carls Junior, with a bacon cheddar fries from jack in the box, and then a frosty from Wendy's to wash it all down. Then for dessert I'll get some crispy cinnamon thingies from Taco Bell. Should be epic. Then I will wait to die. In my new workout gear.

    You're going to die so much. Probably dead now actually by planning it.

    Sort of? I can go months without, but I do find them nice for junk-food snacks. I'm not much for them as meals (tried KFC last week for the first time in probably 2+ years, my dogs ended up with about 80% of my meal, just can't handle it) but every now and then I want french fries without cooking them myself and some of them have the perfect sodas. Mm! I love a cherry coke ; )

    I don't think fast food chains are in and of themselves bad or evil, but too many people look to them to provide too much! I remember watching some documentary on Netflix about how this family couldn't afford healthy food, but showed them spending about $16 at a drive-thru for breakfast. I can feed my family a nice, healthy, quick breakfast for less than $5, and there are 5 of us. I counted up the cash that went into a nice Teriyaki dinner I made one night and it was like $7.50. Price definitely deters me.

    Nope. I don't boycott fast food places. A few times a month I go to McDonalds and get a snack size M&M McFlurry. 300 calories. If I have the calories left over, I get it.

    I just bought my Wendy's USO card. The profits benefit the USO which benefits our soldiers overseas. I'm all for that. You make a purchase at Wendy's and using your USO card you get a free Frosty. Usually I take my kids and we all get Frostys. 300 calories. And right now .50 of each Frosty goes to the Dave Thomas charity for adoption. Another great cause.

    It's a win-win. I get a treat (all within my calorie goal) and I'm helping other people.

    I eat fast food occasionally because there is nothing wrong with it. I don't see anything that needs changing so no, I will not be doing any boycotting of any fast food places.

    Today the fast food mind control agents tried getting me to eat at McDonalds. Sneaky, sneaky. It's a good thing I wear my tinfoil hat everywhere I go these days.

    I prefer whole, fresh foods. Fast food does not offer this - even their 'healthy' options are processed..

    ...fast food restaurants? I've been fast food free for YEARS now.


    The only way we can make change is with our wallets :)

    Yeah. Keep fighting the good fight.

    I eat McDonald's food maybe once a year. I do eat pizza and I'm considering trying a place called the Shake Shack, but it has high quality hamburgers. The junk is in the shakes, which I hear are great. I go to Ben and Jerry's now and then....

    I guess I'm not boycotting junk food. But it's not every day.

    I boycott when the service is atrocious and the cleanliness is questionable

    I love McDonald's. I'll admit it. I don't give a *kitten*. That's how badass I am. Yeah, I know it's bad for me. I still love it. I just don't go there often because it's bad for me.
