    I don't eat at McDonalds period, and neither does my son.
    Till he starts hanging out with friends that eat it when he gets a little older. :wink:

    I spent a year in Zamboanga City, Philippines...Balut. The fermented 13 day chicken fetus, sold by sori-sori stands and street vendors all over the phils. I've tried alot of crazy foods but that was crossing the line.
    It's acutally DUCK.

    That is straight nasty. Thank God I have never eaten on before, and I never will now!
    It's nasty because it's not what you grew up with. You do realize that people from India think we're crazy for eating a cow?

    hmm...what part of "fitness" and all that word implies can a mcrib possibly fall under?

    but hey glad i read this thread! now whenever i think i feel hungry i just have to think of a mcrib and the hunger magically vanishes~cool trick! anyone have any more extremely disgusting food they wanna talk about? please? teehee.
    Fitness has really little to do with what you eat. Many of the "ripped" guys and girls here eat fast food regularly and still maintain their conditioning.

    Never had one, never wanted one. I haven't eaten meat in awhile now, but even in my meat eating days, you couldn't pay me to touch that thing! I think McDonalds is the epitome of disgusting!

    I'd rather eat the grease off the grill, and drink the oil they make the fries in.

    A. I worked at McDonald's all through high school and college. Their food safety practices are some of the best in the business. Yes, the McRibs sit in a crock pot but it's on a timer and checked for quality like all their food.

    B. I don't particularly like the McRib.

    C. I eat McDonald's probably once to twice a week.

    Then End.

    I am not even tempted by the McRib. But a 4 piece mcNuggets and a small fry and I am set. I know the calories and it has a low $ cost.

    You do realize by saying this that you are inadvertently looking down on people that eat it? That some will think that you feel you are "better" than them?

    Some would argue that "ripped" has little to do with fitness.

    I've never had one, but had always wanted to try it.. y'know, just to see what all the hub-bub was about. I'm not a fan of barbecue at ALL though. My friend recommended that I try it in any case. I don't think I ever will though.

    It always amuses me how the holier-than-thou brigade try to outdo themselves in express their "disgust", and how the occasional McDonalds will set back all that hard work people have done!

    If a mcrib disgusts you, you've had a very sheltered life so far!

    All those McDonalds stories are from employees who got sacked, and try to cover it up by saying how bad McDonalds is hygiene-wise. If anyone actually believes it, they'll believe anything.

    My son worked at McDonalds when he was in high school. He said that the "meat" for the McRib sat in a crock pot for DAYS and they would just serve it up out of that old greasy crock pot whenever there was an order.

    UGHHH... I never eat at McDonalds due to the insider information I received from my son...

    I certainly will never encourage anyone to eat at McD but they are not all like this. I worked at one for a couple of years back in the day and it was very clean. Any of the horrors you hear of in fast food or restaurants was grounds for immediate firing. But they are franchised so it's pretty much up to the owners and the managers they hire.
    I worked at one in HS and if the hamburger patty fell on the floor the cook would put it back on the flat top for a few seconds each side and then put it in the sandwhich.

    Hope you don't eat at most any restaurant then because this happens in 'nicer' chains (i.e. ruby tuesday) etc too.

    Then it would be subjective since the majority of "ripped" people attained it through good diet and exercise. Rarely (and personally I've never met or seen anyone) would such a person attain it strictly through just diet alone.

    Wow, talk about a "holier than thou" post. THIS ^^ is it. I find the McRib disgusting. Not because it will set any progress back or because I think McD is dirty. LIke any chain restaurant I'm sure some are filthy and some are quite clean. IMO the McRib is disgusting because of the way it tastes.

    I love mcdonalds (obviously :P ) but the mcrib is, so gross... I'll stick to "chicken" nuggets and fries!

    You realize chicken nuggets are not much different than McRib, they're all the garbage of the chicken. Hell, there's probably ground-up chicken beak in them.

    i'm pretty sure that's why she put chicken in quotations… you know, "….."

    GROSS Ninerbuff!!! You really must not share! EWWWW!
    Lol, don't knock it till you try it.

    Gezzz... Back in 2003 I saw someone eat one of those in the Philippines. You couldn't make me eat one of those things if you alcohol poisoned me with all the Red Horse or San Miguel in the world.

    I rarely do chains... Bonefish Grill is the exception. We all eat out at our own risk, but Mickey D's is definitely NOT on my list of favorites. Exception... coffee. I will buy coffee there...hope they wash the pot:-)

    But did you frequent "Air Force One"? Bet you'd eat one for one of the "fish tank" girls!
