Wasn't there a news story about a guy who lost all kinds of weight
by only eating at McDonnald's for years?

........

Well there’s a girl that would only eat McNuggets and fries. 17 years old and her health is all but wrecked.

Burger King has always had the better burger in my opinion, and I used
to like Wendy's Big Bacon Classic until the last few years when things
seemed to have changed. McDonalds $1 burger was OK for a quick,
inexpensive snack but haven't seen it recently.

........
Over the years I’ve noticed the burgers get smaller with each price increase.
Lol!

I don't really think that is true. If anything they are making bigger
burgers for more money. Some places have a McDonalds making a mega mac
using 2 quarter pounder patties instead of the ~1.7 oz patty they use
for a regular burger. Maybe your appetite is just getting bigger ;-)


I think part of the obesity problem is the portions have gotten bigger over
the years. The plates sizes have gotten bigger.

I listened to an interview with him in KGO. Local liberal radio station
these days. He is a school teacher and his students challenged him to eat
healthy at McDonalds. Contrary to Supersize me, he said there are lots of
healthy choices. The salads, non deep fried chicken, apple slices instead
of fries. Leave the gobs of mayo and super sauce off the burger and the
calories drop.

Parents should be charged with child abuse. Case a few years ago here
where the kid would only eat oatmeal. Had a bunch of health problems.
One of the his doctors was at a convention and Ricketts came up. Was what
the kid was suffering from. Missing a complete diet. Mom said he would
only eat oatmeal. Doctor told here be the parent, put other stuff on his
plate. When he got hungry, he would eat.

That was Subway (Jared Gogle). The guy had a career from it until they
found out he was a pedophile.
Morgan Spurlock did a show (Super Size Me) about eating at McDonalds
for a month and he ended up with a pretty bad outcome.
I imagine it is on Amazon or Netflix

They have good coffee, and a senior price. Other than that, I used to like
the sausage biscuit for breakfast when traveling.

I don't find much I really like at McD. We had one across the parking
lot from our Ft Myers office and I would walk over there if I was
really busy and did not have time to go somewhere. I would usually get
some kind of regular sized sandwich and a salad with iced tea. It was
still a last resort sort of thing.
I worked in Wendys and Burger King, of the two I prefer BK but there
is a huge difference in the sanitation and even the quality of the
food between stores, even in the same general area. At the very least
you should look around a little. If you see something yucky from the
counter, just imagine what it looks like in the back and you are
probably not wrong.

I’m meaning the standard Big Mac has gone up in
Price but the standard burger seems to have had a shrinking beef patty over the years. I know they now offer “hand crafted� and other variants of the same thing. I be not seen a “mega Mac� even advertised. Like I said- in my area.

They swear the standard patties are the same as they always were 1.6
oz (I was wrong with 1.7)
Then there is the 4oz patty.
That is uncooked so if they start with a fattier burger to start with,
it will end up smaller and the longer they cook it the smaller it
gets.
I know at Wendy's where they fried burgers the grease was hauled away
by the bucket and sold along with the used fryer oil.
A little fast food gee whiz info.
Wendy keeps the burgers on the grill until they sell (so they can say
they are cooked fresh) and any that get too old on the grill go into
the chili. That is why Wendy sells chili. They make the chili on site
using the unsold burgers and a #10 can of instant chili sauce. It is
"cooked" right there in the steam table pan.

Another thing a lot of people don't know is the "shake" is just a
powdered drink that they dump into that freezer machine along with a
measured amount of water. It takes a couple hours for that to become a
"shake" so it is the first thing they do in the morning.

Since we had the register business at both of them, I spent a lot of
time behind the counter and as part of the BK contract. our people
were training the store managers. I ended up going to BK manager
school and got a subset of the whole program. (the actual business
end, not so much anything about the food prep or HR).
It is really a pretty interesting business.
When Wendy rolled out their new registers (a repackaged version of the
PC based system BK used) it happened in Naples and I got to meet
"Dave".

I was thinking of this guy ... a high school teacher.
He lost 56 lbs over six months eating only at McDonnald's.

Agree with both. There coffee is much better than it used to be. Now it's drinkable, and the price
is right (for us old guys).

If you buy two McChicken $1 sandwiches, throw away one bun and put the chicken on the other, you've
got a decent chicken sandwich for $2.
