Help! I have a strong urge to eat at McDonalds!
There's something about the salt on the fries. I think they put addictive chemicals in the Chicken McNuggets and that special sauce on the Big Macs. I know McDonalds is one of the most evil corporations in the world, but I don't know if I can stop myself going there for lunch. I've done a good job boycotting for months...someone please stop me!

11. hmmm...
that reminds me of my good radical leanings and political principles, as well as my tendency to eat vegetarian 80-90% of the time...ok that helps some.

3. the fries haven't been good for 30 years
They were made with some of beef tallow or something in the 70s and actually tasted good so the modern fries are spoiled for me. Haven't been there for years. The last time I did, I remember thinking, gotta get some fries, but when I did, they were terrible. Waste of money, waste of a fantasy. Don't disappoint yourself.

12. A Little Background Might Be In Order
From the "You Deserve a Beak Today" category, on 28 November 2000, a breaded deep-fried chicken head was found in a box of chicken wings purchased at a McDonald's in Newport News, Virginia. Katherine Ortega says she discovered the McNoggin while divvying up the wings at home for her family of four. (Fried chicken wings were being test-marketed in that area.)

5. Sometimes, you just have to give in to your urges.
You are only human. I had KFC about three weeks ago. AND I LOVED IT.

6. I'm probably one of the few people who will say
go for it. :-) I am hopelessly addicted to McDonald's, but I limit myself to once every couple of months.

14. Oh yeah! I forgot that part
That's the book that almost made me become a vegetarian. I would read a chapter and stop eating meat for a week. Each chapter was so disturbing I would set the book down for a month and read something else. It took me over a year to read that little book. A great read though.

His new one is good too, Reefer Madness.

17. I was in a McDonalds recently - they have these brochures at the counters
about how beneficial they are and whatgood they do for the world - fuck that - that's a batch of bullshit.

I support a return to the slow food movement - food is where cultures meet.

'Scuse me - I have a thread to start!

27. Remember that cows are often skinned alive because the stun
gun missed them and the death march cannot be held up. It would cost too much. And remember too that pigs are often walked off of the ramp alive into boiling water because the stun gun missed them and we can't be stopping for little things like that, doncha know. Enjoy that burger!
