    ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGH I love that everyone hates McDonalds but so many people eat there.

    Is their healthier food than McDonald's?..... Yes

    Is their unhealthier food than McDonald's?..... Yes

    Does McDonald's taste good?...... Hell yes

    Does McDonald's publish all their nutritional info on their web site?.... Yes

    If most people had any ideas how what they like to eat is prepared they'd probably never eat again.

    IMHO read the web site and take an educated look (or use the iPhone app before you get there). The salt and the soda is the killer. Small fries and lots of water help that out, nuggets are pretty OK, the fish is good. Even a Big Mac is healthier than a couple of slices of mainstream pizza.

    As an adult, chose to eat what you like, and compensate with a light lunch maybe, I for one aren't giving up my McDonald's and I'm losing weight :)

    McDonalds nuggets are all of the chicken feathers and all ground into goo and then they use amonia to kill the bacteria, food dye to get the right color and flavouring to make it taste good. Not food. yuck. The only real thing there is the grilled chicken patty.

    The French Fries are deep fried covered in sugar, frozen. Then deep fried and covered in salt. The combination of salt sugar and fat is like crack.

    I had no idea about the the sugar thing!
    That's because everything that was said is BS lol

    I would go with a hamburger happy meal. The calorie count isn't bad. McDonalds actually uses high quality beef, so at least you'll be getting some protein and the fries aren't good for you, but how can you go to McDonalds and not eat the fries. And you get a toy...j/k. You're eating regular food that everybody eats at some point, but you're getting a good sized serving...not a huge one.

    I must be the only person who goes to Mcdonalds and has a veggie burger or wrap! I usually go for that, about 350 Cal's for a veggie burger, skip the fries, have a bottle of water.
    They have VEGGIE BURGERS at Mickey D's???? :) I had no clue. They probably drench those in oil and butter too.... hahaha. Oh, America....

    They do in UK, not allowed to drench in oil and butter here either. Our food laws are quite strict as to what they can do with their food without telling the public. :)
    I don't know I watched Kill it Cook it Eat it and there is a log of stuff in your food in the UK mostly the cheaper meats

    personally i would get an orange juice or apple juice to keep my sugar up and head home to eat a salad....

    No doubt! McD's does NOT agree with me. I can't eat any of it anymore.

    Is there a specific reason why you have to eat there? If you dont have to dont. There food is fried and processed. It is not healthy and more than likely anybody that eats bad food will hate themselves after. Even there salads are bad for you. Its just not a healthy place. If you work there then maybe someone can bring you food from somewhere else? I would personally not eat at all then eat there.

    DO NOT GET THE GRILLED CHICKEN! TO make them not stick to the grill they are slathered in 6 tablespoons of margarine.

    Not true.

    I was a corporate manager for McOpCo For a few years as a corporate analyst before my most recent job, I have worked in the stores, and in just about every job in between, I can safely say that is not true. it is actually cooked on a griddle(flat surface) grill. It is put inside of a metal square cooking ring, with a steel plate on the top that has a cup built on to it for water, and it slowly drips water into the tray with the chicken. so it is steamed/ flat grilled... No margarine, no butter, it comes pre seasoned as well.

    Not taking up for them, personally, I hate them, but don't spread false info... that's just bad for the entire community.

    The fear mongering in this thread makes me proud to be a McDonald's shareholder.
