Just wondering if anyone could explain to me how bad or how not bad mcdonalds truly is.
I always want to stay away from it but sometime i go just because its always open late then usually i feel like crap after because i went there.
So i was just wondering if you guys thought mcdonals was the worst place to go or are places like DQ and Arbys and other fast food places worse.

To be honest, I don't even care. I personally like the taste and I'm not going to get obese from eating fast food once a month.

Mcdonalds/burger king/etc are bad because:

a) The beef is terrible (look for some grass fed gourmet shit - yes it's expensive, you get what you pay for, hence fast food is cheap - it's not cheap because they're massive companies and they pass the savings on to you, it's cheap because it's shitty, shitty junk food).

b) The veg is barely veg. It was picked so long ago and has undergone so many processes to stop it from dying that it holds virtually no nutritional content, it's basically just fibre.

c) The food is absolutely loaded with sodium. You can get your daily requirement from one meal. Excessive salt leads to health problems in the long run.

I will eat fast food if I'm really hungry/lazy/drunk/stuck in town somewhere - but my general opinion is that it's poison - and your body deserves better. Go to the super market, get some quality beef, some fresh veg and cook yourself something that tastes good! Leave the white-trash food for the white-trash.

McDonalds in Japan ROCKS! They take so much more pride in their work here. The fries are almost always perfect, and the burgers are just like they look in the pictures. However burgers are smaller, the menue is somewhat different from the U.S. and the drinks are like kids size unless you get a large which looks like and american small/medium. I really have to work hard to stay away from it and limit myself to once a month or less often since it tastes so much better here.

On the plus side, it tastes good...

I like to go to mcdonalds every once in a while, my brother and one of my freinds will not eat there but they will eat at like any other fast food place and its pretty much all the same stuff anyways. I think its fine if you only eat it once and a while
