    The reason the fast food industry in general should be bashed is in how they have changed the industrialization of food. The demands they have put on the industry have created unsafe and unhealthy choices not just in the fast food world but in our supermarkets as well. Fast food doesn't just make you fat, it doesn't nourish you as well as the alternatives.

    I'd be happy if more fast food places used beef tallow (AKA LARD) to fry their fries. Do you know how delicious that is in comparison to crap vegetable oil?

    IMO, veg (Frankenstein) oils are alternate fuels for my automobile. They're not good fuel for my body, but I end up eating them because that's what we've come to know as the standard. Meh.

    Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

    McDonald's doesn't make anyone fat, people ordering a huge high carb meal of burger with bun and sauce, french fries and a bucket of coke make them fat.

    Sadly, I eat at Mc"D's weekly with the kids, we allow that. But I toss the bun, go with the ceasar salad, and drink water.

    The option to eat in a way that does not fatten you up and spike your insulin exists at McD's. As the company pointed out, they make as much on the salad as they do the fries, they do not necessarily want you to order fries.

    I learned to hate fast food and to literally be disgusted by it by going on to their websites and reading the nutritional info.. now I get the coupons in the mail and I see 5 burgers for 5 dollars and I gag..truth.

    Exactly...!

    imo, after eating clean for a while and then downing some highly processed and sodium laden food in a wrapper, it makes me physically feel yucky..

    I worked as a manager in McDonalds for two years. And I put on 30lbs. I felt disgusting. I was tired, getting sick constantly and stressed out to the max. Yeah, 95% of the world are jerks and for whatever reason they all feel their fries need to be hot enough to scorch the inside of their stomach and their sandwich needs to be customized with ingredients we don't even carry in the store. You've never quite lived until you've had a drunk hispanic man throw a breakfast bagel at your head because he and his friend were too drunk to realize they'd simply opened each others sandwiches.

    I quit, in a blaze of tears and pepto-bismal pink dress shirt one night when my regional manager said he didn't care if my grandmother had just died, the new store opening was far more important. I have since found a job that pays me $3 more per hour with non of the management responsibility... and my crowing achievement is that a year later I am again 30lbs lighter... in half the time it took me to put it on. I can't stand to eat at McDonalds anymore, partially because of the emotional stress of working there... but mostly because I know how they prepare the food, how the food affects my body....

    and it's simiply not worth it!

    Believe it or not, some of us really don;t like the golden m specifically. I think I mentioned nbefore though, that this isn't the only fast food known to the world. I for one can murder for a doner kebab as they are served in the turkish and albanian shops in Germany - nothing better after a long night out. Actually just thinking about it, I guess next time I am over I urgently need to fix a craving. Subways is fast food too, so are chicken dippers and grilled chicken and stuff ohr and pizza...

    I am always, really always hungry an hour after eating Mcdonalds, so there is no point in me eating it - it feels like scoffing empty calories.
    I just cannot warm up to Mc Donalds. However, I like the cheeseburger from Burger king, like once a year (and that's really just down to the fact that in general, i do not fancy that stuff very much)

    But as many here said, there is nothing wrong with it, if you fancy stuff and eat it in moderation I actually have to say those supersized versions if food, that I have come to known since living in the uk and that I know from US friends is what I cannot get my head around... that's just totally disgusting.
