[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;40769430]And ironically, the way we handle and cook the food is totally unhealthy.
I work for McDonalds. I could tell you countless issues with the kitchen area.[/QUOTE]
I work for a corporate McD store as of recently. It's actually pretty nice, all the equipment is fairly new and very clean.
While she makes a point, it's not like McDonalds is the only restaurant selling unhealthy food. I mean sure I guess it's a "bit immoral" to target children, but that's not really what's happening. I mean what is she trying to say, that children are too stupid to comprehend that it's unhealthy? It's not like children just drive to McDonalds and order, so it's also the parents responsibility to regulate what their children eat.
It's freedom of choice, you can either go to McDonalds to eat like shit or go to a grocery store and by some fruits and vegetables, it's up to you, and you shouldn't be telling anyone else how to eat or what to eat.
I don't see the issue at all, eat whatever you want and deal with it yourself. That being said, I would never eat fast food, but if it's something you enjoy and would like to eat then power to ya.
I hate almost everything in McDonalds other than the fries and the milkshakes. I can't tell what everything else is made of.
[QUOTE=Dori;40769752]McD is cheap, filling, and accessible. a lot of people can't afford the time or money to eat healthy. that doesn't make them stupid[/QUOTE]
I didn't say that stupid people eat there. The post said why would someone go to mcdonalds to eat healthy. My response meant stupid people would go to mcdonalds to eat healthy.

Actually if you compare nutritional info much of the menu is better for you than Subway[/QUOTE]
So all of my Subway's pamphlets explaining and comparing how our food is better than McDonald's and Burger King is just lies?

I mean it's all low quality food ingredients, but the only way I see it being remotely better than other fast-food is if you order a sub with all veggies and no dressing. 90% of the time most people order tons of meat, dressing, and cheese, which isn't making it a much better option than anything. In terms of calories, among many other things.

There's also that little asterisk next to all of their comparisons that tells what you what type of sub they're exactly using as a comparison, which is a very simple sub that you're most likely never going to order.
When I make the decision to eat fast food I'm not usually doing it to be healthy. It's more of a guilty pleasure that you know is probably not good choice but you really don't care. I prefer other places though, McDonalds is usually on the bottom of my list of fast food joints. Whataburger over McDonalds any day.
McDonalds chicken nuggets is pink goop. I like chicken nuggets.

The calorie lists is meat + cheese + bread, no veggies. All of our calorie listings is if you [I]didn't[/I] get veggies on your sub.
Subway isn't the greatest, but it sure as hell is better than McDonalds.

they're not stupid, they're victims of subversive advertising. McD claims that they offer healthy alternatives, such as their salads smothered with high-fat, high-calorie dressing. people who want to be health-conscious but can't afford to prepare their own food will order their salads without thinking about what goes into them. that's not their fault, they're just a product of a culture run by uncaring, untouchable multi-billiondollar corporations who will sink to any low to make a profit. if McD really did care about the health of their customers, they would fund nutritional education and awareness, but an educated public would put a dent in their sales as they would have to stop making food with bare-minimum quality and effort
Sometimes people enjoy food that isn't spectacularly healthy, just as a one off.
That doesn't make them evil.

Fuck subway, publix store subs are best subs.
I've never even heard of publix
Which Wich has the best subs. It's not even open to debate. Sorry Scorpious!
i love mcdonald, very tasty
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;40770174]I've never even heard of publix[/QUOTE]
its a grocery store that has a deli, they put fresh meat and veggies out the bunghole on your sandwich and they are cheaper. hell they will make you a buffalo chicken sandwich from scratch when they grab some fried chicken and buffalo sauce from the other side of the deli.
I don't eat at subway because it's 'healthier', I just prefer a sub over a cheeseburger :v:
sandwiches made at deli's from mom and pop variety stores are amazing, but one i frequent doesn't always carry whole wheat sub rolls or wraps. white is mostly empty carbs
still, i love a whole wheat tuna/chicken salad sandwich wrap/sub made with the works
[QUOTE=More Ragtime;40769422]"we don't sell junk food"
just food pumped full of prescriptive and has 3 times as much calories as a traditional meal would have[/QUOTE]
eat 3 times less then
idk how people dont get this stuff
[QUOTE=Riutet;40769595][sp]It's people.[/sp][/QUOTE]Well, so is Soylent Green and people seem happy enough to eat that.
[QUOTE=Dori;40769412]great they're both terrible[/QUOTE]
They're bread, meat, condiments, and vegetables.
There aren't some magic junk food molecules in fast food that make them automatically be worse than the stuff people make at home. If you grilled up your own hamburger you'd be consuming basically the same stuff as if you ate a McDonalds hamburger, probably worse for you just because the patty would likely be larger

They stopped that practice many, many years ago.

Subway's nutritional information doesn't include a sauce
If you put mayo on a 12" sub you're likely putting another 300 calories on it
And it isn't really better than McDonalds, compare similar products:
The subway 6" Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt is 570 calories, while the McDonalds Chicken and Bacon McWrap is 480 calories (and larger than 6")
I've always treated McDonald's as kind of a treat or dessert. I mean, I think their burgers are damn good, but it's very rarely I go there to eat them.
Double cheeseburger.. why are you £1.49 you were but £1.30 two years ago and 5 years ago £1.11 What happened...
Wendy's and Jack in the Box are God-tier fast food.
Burger King is close cause they have those new drink machines.
If your shitty parents let you eat the food in the first place its their fault, not Mcdonalds. Hell, if people could learn to exercise and moderate their caloric intake, Mcdonalds wouldnt be in this position at all.
Its not like Mcdonalds has a machine in each of their place that controls the mind of children and forces them to eat their food.
[QUOTE=Kinglah Crab;40769518]no how matter how much disgusting shit you tell me about mcdonalds i'm still going to eat it and there's nothing you can do to stop me[/QUOTE]
I thought the current consensus amongst people was McDonalds is absolutely fucking disgusting from it's taste to it's ingredients? I mean the shit seems like farm animal trough stuff

And also has shrunk with age.
[QUOTE=nomad1;40769600]I thought people referred to McDonalds as the golden arches of obesity?
I stopped eating McDonalds because of the movie Supersize me.[/QUOTE]
I don't eat much McDonald's anymore because of that movie, but even then there were a lot of things wrong with the way the "challenge" was handled.
The guy always super-sized when asked, and always forced himself to finish the food even if he was already full. He also ate it three times a day. Combine those factors with the fact that he was a vegetarian and his body was unused to the stuff that was in McDonald's food and he more or less created a no-win scenario for himself.
The dude set himself up for failure and surrounded his planned failure with pictures of slaughterhouses and fat americans in jazzies. It was a really well-made propaganda film but at the end of the day that's all it was.
Things like how the McNuggets are a pink meat slurry are sorta gross until you realize that you've eaten it before and you've been fine in the past. You ate it, it tasted fine, you're still alive, there's not really a problem here. It's the same concept as eating escargot or some other exotic food, at the end of the day it tastes fine and it won't kill you, no matter how "yucky" the food's origin is.
