What did you think of it?  It made me never want to eat McDonald's again!

I never eat at McDonald's anyway, they put protein worms in their burgers.

i was mcdonalds free for four months until the last three weeks, i take my son to the playland there. first it was coffee, then fries, now i'm back to eating a double quarter pounder meal, supersized... :\'(

I still have a thing for Rotten Ronnie's about once a week.  I'm a fast food sinner, I know, but here in the Happy Valley where my friends dine on organic Thai and soy lattes, Chicken McNuggets are a relatively harmless way to be naughty.  Much safer than unsafe sex with strange women one meets on the internet!
:P
I loved the movie "Supersize Me," my favorite scene is when he pukes at the car window.  Didn't like his girlfirend, though, I find Vegans annoying in general, and she reminded me of a particular someone from my recent past.

The film will be on TV here this week.  So if I remember to watch it I'll let you know!

I can't get over how America allows McDonalds in hospitals. That's just wrong. "Super Size Me" was great, really funny and disturbing at the same time.

The only time we eat at McDonald's is when we are on the road and we stop there for breakfast (I must admit that I do like their Egg McMuffins) or when we are "forced" to-meaning if that is the only place, which really bugs me. But, I NEVER, NEVER get a burger.

As for the movie, it really gave an insight to what most people already suspected about Micky Dees. My step-daughter used to work there and got free food-and as a result, gained a lot of weight. She has since left and is FINALLY taking the weight off.

A friend of mine used to work there and she got free meals, she passed out one day from mal nutrition, she ate breakfast at home and lunch and dinner at mcDonald's

When my metabolism slows down as I cruise into middle age, I'm going to have to cut down on a lot of those fatty foods.  I enjoy the taste of McD's because it's all starches, saturated fats, and refined sugars!  I don't like the burgers, though.  I get the chicken nuggets which are EVEN WORSE!
:o
I don't do it more than once a week, usually late at night now that the drive-thru is 24/7.

Our drive-thrus aren't 24-7. Later hours, but not all night. Midnight-2 AM is usually the limit.

Happy birthday, by the way.

There was a rebuttal to Supersize Me done not too long ago. Someone did pretty much the same thing (ate only McDonald's food for a month), but rather than sitting on his butt he also included a decent exercise routine (both aerobic and anaerobic). The result: he ended up weighing less at the end of the month and wound up in pretty good shape. Just goes to show that subsisting on fast food alone isn't so bad if you take steps to compensate.

That being said, the last time I had anything from McDonalds was about 18 months ago, when I dropped by for an egg mcmuffin, hash browns, and OJ. The last time I can recall having a burger from them was 1995, though I imagine I might have had something more recently while driving... nothing in the last 4 years though. Usually if I go for fastfood I go to Subway and skip the burger joints. Of course, that's something to do with location too. Stick me in California and I'll be eating In & Out quite a bit.

We have a Subway, but it's at a horrible location in town, no matter who you are. And it has horrible staff too.

Plus, subs just get a bit boring for me. I excercise enough that it doesn't really affect me.

Once, when I was a starving graduate student, my parents took my oldest on a trip to Washington.  they went to a restaurant and placed their orders.  After a time, Becky asked "where is our food?  Where my parents take me, you get it right away."  Dad asked her "Where is that?"  "McDonnalds" she said, load enough for EVERYONE to hear.  She got quite a laugh.

Lately, though, we don't do Micky Dee's, or any of the others.  We also avoid the toll roads (evan when they are more direct) because mostly all they have is fast food franchises at their rest stops.  A less direct interstate lets us eat where WE want, so those are the routs we take.

I have not touched any kind of fast food since that movie.

To me, the real problem is not about "Fast Food", but about the diet in general of the people.

I admit, I eat fast food almost every day.  Where else can I sit down during my 35 minute lunch, and get decent food quickly?  And it is affordable.

But I also am fairly active.  I walk a lot, and on weekends like to go camping and do other things.  I am not a "Couch Potatoe".  And I frequently get other things, like fish and chicken.  And one thing a lot of people do not think about, I get diet drinks.  On a normal "super size" meal, almost half the calories are from the drinks alone.

I think the largest problem in this country is not diet, as much as lack of exercise.  I admit, I am a tad overweight.  By "a tad", I mean 10-15 pounds.  Considering that I have not been able to run in 15 years, that is not to bad.  At my peak, I was 165 and ate 4 meals a day.  Then again, I ran 20+ miles a week, and was very active in other areas.  Now I eat 2 meals a day, and am as active as I can be.  I weigh about 200, which is not bad considering my disabilities and body frame.

I believe that a lot of Americans are "lazy".  They look for diets, instead of taking the healthier solution of exercise.  They see weight as the sign of good health, and not other things like build and muscle mass.  Unless they make "lifestyle" changes, they will always bounce between diets, and always wondering why they can't keep the weight off.

And exercise does not need to be strenous.  This weekend I got on the bike and drove 250 miles to go camping.  I spent the next day in Mobile, seeing the museum and then spent 4+ hours wandering around the USS Alabama memorial.  Trust me, spending 4 hours walking through a WWII era battleship is work!  Then I drove the 250 miles back home.  A decent 2 days and I felt a lot better when I got home.

As for the movie, I have no desire to see it.  I lived in a rural area, and I know what goes on in slaughter houses.  I also worked fast food, so I know what happens in those kitchens.  That does not bother me.  What bothers me most about that movie is that it tries to blame "somebody else" for the problem.  The problem is not fast food, but that people are often lazy slobs, who want a scapegoat for the problem of thier being fat pigs.

Loved it. I don't eat burgers anyway due to having watched a programme at school on how they make them I haven't eaten a burger or a sausage since !
I thought McD's were scrapping the supersize option...........mind you as I have said before the Extra Large option in the U.K is the equivalent of the Medium in America so i guess that won't really affect us here anyway.

I thought the movie was the most boring documentary I have ever seen. He was boring, his GF was boring, his doctor was boring, the guy who ate McDonalds everyday was the most exciting person in the film. Everyone else may as well have been piles of whale sh*t.

That said, I try never to eat at McDonalds or any other fast food joints. Sometimes it's unavoidable. One has to eat, and sometimes there isn't any time or money to get anything else. Today is one of those days. I have several hours between now and my Web Design class, and I got about four bucks and change in my pocket (yes, I'm a broke-ass college kid). Today it will have to be fast food.

Firstly..that person above shouldn't be allowed to use that crass (advertising a poxy product) Avatar.


The 'Supersize Me' film is being shown as a weekly documentary starting tomorrow (Thursday) here in the UK.

I think I'll give it a miss, it'll only tell us what we all know already.

McDonalds food is sxxt and should be avoided at all costs.

I have seen the film, and I still eat there.  ::)

We have a term for the male ejaculate in the UK, "mess". I saw someone in a magazine the other day, claiming it was an abbreviation of "Mcdonalds Employees Special Sauce", which gives you an impression of many people's opinion of their standard of food... ;D

Sorry! Mcdonalds must be loved by many, but to me (and many others), they represent the negative stereotype of US culture. Easy, cheap, bad for you, everywhere. We even have an expression- "Mcjobs"- for low-paid, low-prestige, low-paid work, deriving from the employment conditions seen in Mcd's. It seems a fairly common occurrence for Mcd's employees to sell drugs across the counter also; 2 out of my 4 local ones have sacked people for this, although this might be to do with the demographic they employ, rather than a reaction to working conditions.

..and UK culture, trust me.  Sunday lunch is taken in Mc craps by many people these days.
It's the employees I feel sorry for.

Just for your own sake, I should inform you that my surname is McDonald, which is why I use the avatar. I despise the McDonald's corporation and I never eat there.

If you still don't like my avatar and want it removed... well, go tell the teacher on me and maybe I'll be forced to give it up until the end of class.

I am guilty of eating there, though not on a regular basis.

Supersize me. Oh god, that film really McBothered me. I thought it was brilliant, but made me feel sick to my McStomach. Especially when that doc said that the main fella's liver would pack-up if her kept doing the McPlan.

My mum used to call it MUCK~Donalds. I think she had good reason.

Hmmm... your post reminds me of a college chum who had quite an unusual story to tell, that involved one of his McDonald's coworkers and a vat of tartar sauce, back in 1975.

I've never ordered a Filet-O-Fish at Mickey D's since.  :P

A friend of mine from school worked at McHell too. She said that one morning someone threw up into one of the fryers. It did not get cleaned out.

Would you like fries with that?

Ohh how lovely... deep fried spew..well I guess at least any nasty bacteria or other nasties in his belly would be destroyed with the intense heat!!

Deep Fried crispy vomit anyone??   :o

No thanks, I've already eaten

I once went in to a McDonalds in Blackpool to use the Bathroom (Blackpool isn't exactly lovely anyway)

I went in to what could only be described as a stationary Porta-loo and almost immediatley walked straight back out. In the middle of the floor was a Large Turd, somebody had Urinated all over the washbasins and in the only cubicle there was a pair of trousers with underwear in them and the remains of what must have been a Supersized Meal.

I walked out and found an attendant and informed him that not only was the bathrom disgusting, but there was a Large McTurd sitting in there.

;D HAHAHAHAHAHAHA  ;D

You probably shouldn't have told them about that. It might have been added to the McBerger that day.  :P

Meh, I don't think it has to be to THAT extreme. In moderation, it won't hurt you in the long run.

Ouch!!!

These McHell stories are so vile but it's like a car crash, i have to keep coming back to check them and although they are all foul, i find myself chuckling. I'm addicted!

Am I sicker than McDonalds?

Kind of makes you wonder what happened to the "artist" who set that tableau for you.

I mean, did he run from the 'loo naked and screaming?  Or sneak out quietly, covering his bits with a couple of McBurger buns?

???

Unfortunately, I forgot to set the video: Supersize Me was on tonight at the same time as the Question Time with the three party leaders - which had to take precedence.

Oh well that makes very good sense then doesn't it  ::)

You: "I despise the Mcxxxxxx's corporation and I never eat there."
But you happily advertise their garbage by using the mc.crap logo.  Yeah that makes great sense...  HAHAHAHA  ::)

I don't like the corporation, but I love the name, which happens to be MY name. And as a regular on these political boards, I've never heard any complaints until you decided to venture in here. If my avatar inspires someone to go eat at a McDonald's festerant, that's their own stupidity and I could give a rat's @ss. It's none of my business, and it's none of yours. Do you honestly think that my avatar's being there or not will affect McDonald's profits in the slightest?

I still can't get over your choice of words on your original bitchrant. You said I "shouldn't be allowed to have ."

???

Were you the annoying kid at school that everyone hated for being a losery tattle-tale?

If not, then allow me to suggest that you let the site administrator do his own job. Like I said before, I've been using this avatar ever since I came here. It has appeared on nearly 700 posts and no complaints until now.

This is a non-issue. So please just drop it.
