How great is that! 010104 ... cazzi we've got two in our town at the moment, which is pretty cool cos it's only a small town. i went there with my dad only a couple of nights ago, but i only really like chicken mcnuggets. 010105 ... daxle corporate assholes thanks for helping make americans fat 010105 ... j_blue among fast_food in california, even small towns have several (at least where i am from) food is only bad if you eat it too much though i used to think fat people were fat just because when i lost weight my mind changed then i knew people were fat because they ate too much food and whose fault is that? 010106 ... daxle american culture, created for profit by a select few (in terms of how large our population is) ultimately everyone is responsible for what they do, but if it were so easy to ignore the pervading mass media messages, to see thru the lies, wouldn't everyone do it? 010106 ... Sintina Did you know one in like every 5 people working in America today once worked at a McDonald's? My mom is one of them. I'm not. 010106 ... peyton My biggest fantasy is to make love in the ball pit. Is that normal? 010107 ... Thyartshallshant Yes. 010107 ... Strideo Ah McDonald's! Purveyors of not that bad but not really all that good food that isn't any good for you. My advice is not to eat there. ... 070511 ... did the french fries... they seduced me into eating them, I swear! I just couldn't resist. 070511 ... Strideo Their french fries are their strongest point! You must resist! Don't give in! Mmmm, some of those fries would be good right about now too. No no! I must stay strong! ... 070511 ... : ( damn it! i had some today. 070511 ... phil what is food, really? 070511 ... misstree it is that which sustains our meat. if you're putting crap into your body, you're going to feel like crap. lemonade may be cheaper to run your car on, but it won't go terribly far. you don't need to use jet fuel, but being aware, trying to keep a balance between nutrition and impulse, well. and the fact that the two can overlap in many places makes it much easier. mickey dee's and its ilk are fine for the occasional splurge, say once a month or even once a week, but every god damned day, you'll rot your guts and feel like hell while it happens. and while quantity of food taken in is a contributing factor to obesity, so are many other things regarding out eating habits... better to have two hamburgers at lunch than one before bed, swap mustard for mayonnaise, go for a walk instead of flopping in front of the tele to digest. all of these things will shed pounds without need to be hungry all the time (though eating for entertainment rather than fuel is another fattening habit) and without need to eliminate everything we enjoy (seriously, i loves me some brown mustard, and i do still use mayo, though i try for a film rather than a slather). what bothers me the worst about mc d's, though, is their politics. they're a lovely example of a corporation that doesn't give two shits about indivdual humans, merely a bottom line. here in cascadia, there's the local equivalent Burgerville, which uses local products whenever possible, which in my neverever humble opinoin, is one of the basic building blocks to a strong regional economy, which in turn benefits me right back. plus, they're superdoubleplusyummy. 070511 ... yuck yummy ? urrr... not yummy ! it tastes yuck 070512 ... minnesota_chris read more, yuck. or hasn't the adderall kicked in yet? eating for entertainment is wonderful though. The foods sing to me. 070621 ... hee hee ! co co pops ! theres lots of them ! 070621 what's it to you? who go blather from
