So I am stuck here at work until midnight due to extended hours, and I do not feel like eating my sandwich. I do not feel like driving ffar to get something either. So I go to the Mcdonald's because it's the closest thing beside that expensive Mexican resturant across the street. I'm sitting in the breakroom enjoying my food when something on the fry container catches my eye. It's the damn nutritional information for the fries!!! Since when have they done that! Why?!? Why?!? When I go to Mcdonald's I know that I am getting junk. I do not need to know that my fries contain a fourth of my daily caloric needs nor that that also contain my daily fat gram allowance. Grrrrrrrrr.... And why put that information for the fries and not on anything else? Mcdonald's is stupid! Stupid! Grrrrrrrrrrr...... :angry:
-
Because fat people who refuse to believe they are fat and are fat because they are lazy use it to structure diets around that they end up abandoning when the McRib comes out again. Holy run-on sentence, Batman!
-
I do not see how that is going to deter them. If their that big they obviously do not care about their health. I know a couple of people who eat there everyday. :o :x :joe:

I don't recall seeing the McRib in 2005...
-
Well whatever the hell it is. I don't eat @ McDonalds, only Taco Bell, BK and KFC.
-
I learned recently from looking at the new boxes that 3 boxes of 6-piece Chicken McNuggets constitute the entire daily recommended value of sodium. That may have been why I felt such a weird salty-ish aftertaste.
I've cut back on $1 McNugget Tuesdays...

Yep...Fat people with lawyers are why you have to read that. Same reason they have to tell you Coffee is "Hot".
-
...it is?
-
Yeah....someone got burned when her coffee spilled. She claimed that it was McDonalds fault cause they didn't tell her it was hot and ended up winning the lawsuit. Now they have to tell you that...and it says it on the cups now as well.
-
The McRib was here in 2006. I had one soley because of that one Simpson's episode. Except, instead of tasting delightful like it's animated Krusty counterpart it still tasted shitty just like the one I ate in the 90s.
-

You almost had me only you admitted ot eating various others kinds of filth. Same shit different toilet.
-

I've heard that the coffee was actually way too hot for human consumption and that she got some serious burns from it.
-
What the fuck is the McRib and why isn't sold in Philly?
I think McDonalds is ok for a meal. But only if you eat once a day like me.
-
That'll kill your metabolism.
-
True. That's what my girlfriend did for years. Last I heard, she's about a size 16. :( So much for all the mega-expensive renfair garb she had custom designed for her 20-inch waist.
-

Ha ha, yeah. Those and McDonald's are the ones I can't stand the most. TC I haven't eaten at in years and years because they're disgusting. BK I boycott because they're stupid, their chicken sandwich is dry, and their fries at WOAT. KFC and McDonald's, 5 out of 6, will actually give me the fucking runs. Not that I never eat junk, just not from them.
-
Oh and w/ McDonald's, I'd never go at all except I like their sundaes and sometimes I just needs me some orange hi-c.
-
McDonalds has great vanilla soft serve, but then how could you fuck that up?
-
If it's done anything like Dairy Queen, then there's a number of ways. Of course, I've never had a fucked up dessert at McDonald's before, unlike some of the melted shit that's come out of DQ.
-
I only get cones or blizzards there, and again it's mostly cones. I just like vanilla soft serve. Kary kills for the Brownie Batter Blizzard there x.x
-
All the fast food places are equally shitty, nutritionally speaking. But I do confess to being partial to Hardee's.
As for the coffee spill thing, the old lady got third degree burns on her crotch. It wasn't a frivolous lawsuit...chell this for more info. (http://www.citizen.org/congress/civjus/tort/myths/articles.cfm?ID=785)

You heard correctly. It's unfortunate that that's the case that's always remembered and trotted out as an example of a stupid, frivelous lawsuit, because it was actually pretty gross negligence on McDonald's part.
-
As for fast food places, the only places I generally eat are Arby's, Wendy's for their baked potatoes, and McDonald's for the apple pies once in a while.
-
I am so craving Popeye's red beans & rice and biscuits now, you evil people. q~~~~
-
Ooh, me, too. I don't give two flips about their chicken, but those biscuits.... DAYUM!
-
Popeyes chicken tore my ass up so horribly it gave me a hemerrhoid.
-
Love that chicken from Popeye's? I had a few chicken strips one time when I got biscuits because I knew there wouldn't be anything to cook at home... they were kinda gross. Like 80% chicken skin/batter.
-
I love KFC's chicken and mashed taters. Saturdays I'd walk to KFC and get me three snacks for the super low price of $3.15!
-
The mild chicken strips are alright, but everything else is really sub-par. The biscuits are way too buttery, there's too much cajun shit in the mashed potatoes, and it just goes on.
Give me KFC any day.
-

You can eat McDonalds as your sole meal of the day? That's insane. Their problem is not only that their stuff will make you fat (it doesn't make me fat) but rather that you're getitng nothing of any nutritional value out of that filth.
And I'm thinking you've got an eating disorder if you only eat once a day.
-
no, cause when I'm pms-ing I eat like a fucking pig ALL DAY LONG and its disgusting.

When I eat at burger king, I only get the Salads. Im pissed because they got rid of the shrimp ones... but the chicken regular salad with the italian dressing is great.
I eat subway alot too, but then considering the quality of food there that's not really fast food.
-

That's probably your body trying to tell you something.
-
Ice cream...fries...I remember these things...
-
The biscuits are way too buttery,
Butter.... =P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *slobber*
-
And I'm thinking you've got an eating disorder if you only eat once a day.
I only eat once a day. It's usually one big meal where I just pig out and eat more then I should and then I'm just not hungry the rest of the day. Although, from time to time I do eat two, one at each extreme of the day.
-
Eating once a day is becoming more-and-more common these days. I went through phase where I did it myself. It wasn't a personal choice as much as my schedule only allowed me to eat once and rarely twice a day. Now that I have a normal job, I eat three regular meals daily.
-
I have no choice but to eat 4-6 times a day as training makes me hungry at least that much.
But I don't eat anything fun, food is a task more than an ejoyable comodity...except on cheat day.
-
you sound like a girl.
I agree with Zero, most times I don't have time to eat more than once a day, so its mostly a nice big lunch/dinner
-
It's actually much better for you health to eat more smaller meals than to eat less large ones. It helps your body digest at a faster rate and get more of the food which keeps you from stocking up a bunch of fat and going into daily starvation mode. It's also much easier on your stomach.
-

No if I was a girl I'd tell you that i'd hold your hand under the stall while we puked together after eating 4 crunch wraps.
-
The multiple small meal thing also increases your metabolism and helps shed teh pounds. Or teh 0.45 * kilo if you're non-US.
-
Yep - in that respect, hypoglicemia was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have an obscenely early breakfast, an apple around 9 AM, lunch around 11:30-12, almonds or pistachios around 3, and dinner around 6:30-7. I'm rarely hungry after that, but if so, something light, like a small glass of soy milk. My weight hasn't fluctuated more than 2-3 pounds during the holidays in over 2 years. With a morbidly obese grandmother, mother and sister, my concern isn't just for vanity's sake.
-
Thankfully no one in my family is that big x.x
-
I learned recently from looking at the new boxes that 3 boxes of 6-piece Chicken McNuggets constitute the entire daily recommended value of sodium. That may have been why I felt such a weird salty-ish aftertaste.
I've cut back on $1 McNugget Tuesdays...
Err, wait no, they constitute ALMOST the entire daily recommended value. 28% per 6-piece box.
-
ok so i have a question. is a bagel with turkey bacon, egg, cheese and mayo super extra fattening? or is it ok?
-
Ech, I hate mayonaise x.x
-
ok so i have a question. is a bagel with turkey bacon, egg, cheese and mayo super extra fattening? or is it ok?
I would cut out the mayo and use fat free or 2% cheese, but if that's all your're gonna eat for the day then you need all the calories you can get.
-
I eat two meals, usually because I don't get up early enough for breakfast. When I had class, I was in such a hurry every mornng I would grab an oatmeal square or something portable on the way out.
-
That's sort of what I do. Have a quick snack around 9:30 and then lunch and supper. I just can't put anything down as soon as I get up.
-

Well the good thing is you're set for cholesterol for...the week, at least.
-
Turkey Bacon isn't bad at all, though the Mayo and cheese is, but then I just ate a chilicheese hotdog, so I shouldn't talk.
-
Did it...did it have onions on it?
I hate you guys...
-
Not that one. The other one I had had mustard, onions, and picle slices on it. I was gonna put some hotsauce, but didn't.
-
Everything's better with a good buffalo wing sauce. :)
-
Butter and Cayenne? How could it be wrong?!
-
I should also add that 3 out 5, breakfast upsets my stomach and makes me, um, "sick". I don't know why that happens. If I have toast or something breadish, I'm usually okay. Cereal, juice, eggs especially... they don't like going into Nuri too early in the morning. I only eat cereal when I have time to make sure it's settled.
-
I'm the same way. My stomach just won't handle anything too early. Of course I have some considerable medical problems...
-
So do I. It turns out that my stomach is also clinically depressed and now has a Livejournal.
-
Bwahaha. Well... just hope it doesn't start cutting itself like mine did. -_-
-
Nuri's stomach is emo. If I had the time I'd shop something, but I am damn tired :(
-
"shop something"?
-
Photoshop an image of a stomach with the damp black hair over the stomach's eyes, with a hawthorne hieghts poster in the background or linkin park. Whichever.
Something like this.
-
Not if it's just for relief.
-
Well I never get the chance to eat breakfast early cause I'm never awake early B)
Last breakfast I had was when I was in Kuala Lumpur. That was like 2 months ago. And before that trip to South East Asia, I can't even remember the last time I had breakfast in the morning....maybe when I went to Peru last year.

She's explaining to us how she's contributing to the spread of avian flu.
I've heard that the coffee was actually way too hot for human consumption and that she got some serious burns from it.
When is coffee not way too hot for consumption?
-
Granted, I don't drink coffee, but I was under the assumption that if it wasn't too hot, then it wasn't hot enough. That's gonna be some lukewarm coffee by the time you get to the bottom of the cup. I like the idea of not putting a cup of coffee near my genitals.
The old bus center where I used to catch my busses to school and work had a coffee/hot chocolate machine. I'd buy hot chocolate and man, that stuff was scalding. After a couple of minutes, it was drinkable and just hot enough.

Sam, you are starting to be as much a pain in the ass as tom is.
-
I'll drink to that! But then I let him fuck me in the ass.
-
Do you drink to forget?
-
I drink to forget that he's not gonna call me the next day.
-
You what this was when it started.
-
Holy cow, ebonics!
-
Sam went on the DL. He's street like Fifty Cent now! THAT NIGGA KNOWS HOW TO TOSS A SALAD!
