McDonalds



Not very often I go there, but every now and then the body just demands a bit of Junk food.

Anyway, I was in there at lunchtime and a quite large, as in fat, family came in after me and ordered 4 salads with mineral water and fruit juices.

Bizarre.

Strange that they would choose there to try and improve their intake, but perhaps from experience they feel comfortable in MacDonald's, good luck to them, hope it works out.

I reckon it's their version of the 5/2 diet. They go to McDonalds every day and on their "fasting" days they have salad instead of a large Big Mac meal.

Why do people have to almost apologize for eating at Mc D's?
"Not very often I go there , but....." It is like saying that " The newspaper fell open and I could not help seeing page 3 of The Sun" (If I do Hillian a disservice then I apologize to him)

As for me, I often eat there . Tasty , cheap & cheerful..I don't see what is bizarre about people eating a salad there, obese or not....more power to them

I'm sure there was an exposé at some stage which revealed that a McDonald's Caesar Salad contained more fat and calories than a hamburger with fries.

McDonalds is bad for you, it's basically chemicals and sugar of the worst kind. Eating there often is bad for you. But people don't think these things catch up with them. They do when you're 55 and you have colon cancer.

Can't see that if I'm honest..

Right, (yes I'm bored) the worst type of salad on their menu (crispy chicken & bacon) with Ceasar dressing has 18g fat and 364 kcal.

Hamburger with small fries has 20g fat and 487 kcal

So not much difference between what is essentially a happy meal. Would be much more getting a large Big Mac meal!

Could have been one for the American market perhaps- I definitely recall the newspapers making something of it, then again they don't need much of an excuse to lay into fast food chains at the best of times.

When McDonalds opened in this country they maintained that if you didng receive your food within 1 minute of arriving at the counter you got it free, they couldnt do that now.
