what the F is with fast food joints? Warning roonyesque whining herein

[gniknave]

This fast food talk is making me want to puke. Has anybody seen that documentary about the guy who ate McDonalds for a whole month? I haven't yet but I'd like to know if it's worth seeing.

[Jesda]

Super Size Me! A friend of mine interviewed that guy for his school paper. His documentary was hilarious, although scientifically and pragmatically it was nonsense.

I mean, even if you ate nothing but burgers, fries, and soda at home you'd still gain weight and feel halfass.

How come everyone is so sensitive about fast food. I mean it's become one of those annoying vogues like political correctness or the macarena. Everyone says "oo I hate fast food, so icky" whilst theyre heading towards the drive thru for a double 1/4 pounder!

It's like a taboo to actually LIKE fastfood. and if you ate it, oo then you better have a good excuse for that atrocious act! Yes, it's unhealthy in large quantities, just like everything else!!!

look at these sales:mcdonalds http://www.media.mcdonalds.com....html

They are all up! so dont tell me NONE of you guys like fast food! I'm pretty sure most of you are just going with this fast food bashing vogue, whilst eating some curly fries with some cheese covered potatoe wedges.

I eat fast food when I'm on the road and need a quick eat. And I have to be in the mood to eat it. I normally eat pretty healthy since I play college bball and have to stay in shape. I can't stand the smell of fast food sometimes, especially McDonalds and KFC. If I eat McDonalds enough then everything I eat will taste like their fries for like 2 days. I usually pass up fast food for fine dining if I have the opportunity. Not that it's THAT much healthier but it certainly tastes better. Maybe its the Culinary graduate in me?

O man. I eat fast food almost every day. Just because there is nothing else to eat. And yea, In-N-Out is by far the best. Mmmmm grilled onions. Too bad east coast has no idea wth we are talking about.

Because my roommate loves Carl's Junior. He has no car at the moment (he would have bought my pickup, but my car is in the shop so I can't sell the pickup...long story) so we get food at the same time and he always goes there. I end up getting lazy sometimes and don't feel like going elsewhere, so I buy Carl's Junior.

I won't go back anymore though. Last time I went, they screwed up my order as bad as possible (I wanted chicken strips and some Chili fries. I wanted a ranch and a barbecue sauce. I got two chili fries. Nothing else.) and then they were annoyed when I went back to get the order corrected. I got back and had two cold, nearly chili-less chili fry orders, and they STILL forgot my ranch and barbecue sauce. For $7 bucks, chicken and cold fries and a screwed up order are not worth it.

IMHO spending $7 at a fast food restaurant is just asking for trouble. Its all about the cheap stuff ie. dollar menu The only time I could imagine spending that much at Carl's Junior is to get the Six Dollar Burger Combo. That is one big burger and mmm o so good.

I had the Monster Burger at Hardees. It rocked my world!But still, my homemade burgers are the biggest and best, loaded with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, green pepper, bacon, mayo, ketchup, all on toasted wheat bread.

A close cousin of mine got internal hemroids and it was linked directly to his everyday fast food habit. It was a big scare for him because he had blood in his underpants and his doctors feared it was colon cancer. His experience was enough for me to limit myself to how much of that stuff I eat. If your fast food is not a soup or a salad, it's probably not good for you.

[jacob360]

Anyone have a pastrami burger from Carls Jr.? Damn that was good. Too bad it's only limited time.

I usually eat well, but I've been too lazy to make lunch for the past month or so, so I've been eating out everyday, and to be honest, I feel like sh1t.

[The Mic]

oh I wasnt directly talking to you gniknave, it's just the annoying atmosphere of people I'm in at college. Theres a jack in the box near us and everyone talks smack about it saying "ewww i cant believe ppl eat that stuff" or "omg that crap makes my want to puke" .

then i see one of the same people at the drive thru ordering a #8

All part of College. When you're hungry sometimes you can surprise yourself with the meal you choose to eat.

The Colossal Colon Tour came through St Louis in April 03. I got to hang out with a giant colon outside union station and look at polyps and what not. Quite fascinating.

When traveling or if youre short on time to prepare a meal, never leave home without your insurance:

Hey, Jesda. What's that magazine? Fiber suppliments are something I'm glad I've never had to worry about.

Yeah, I generally don't whine about fast food. I'll admit it. In fact, there's almost nothing I'd rather have after a hard day's work than a good old greasy Crown Burger Corndog, Bacon Burger, and some fries fresh from the cholerster-oil, so hot and still dripping with it that you can't even eat them for five minutes.

Heh...giant colon. You mean like a mascot, a dude in a suit? That'd be interesting to see a colon polyp...I've always wondered what they look like.

[Jesda]

Its a HUGE colon that you can crawl inside of and explore.http://www.preventcancer.org/colossalcolon/

I'm going to refrain from posting the picture of me standing next to it.

The magazine is FHM with Leann Tweeden on the cover. Someone posted a link a few months ago to where you could get a free subscription.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Yeah, I remember that free subscription thing. I signed up. Haven't seen one in the mail yet, though. Oh well...no loss, it WAS free after all.

Ha. That giant colon is freakin' bad!

Had some taco bell a couple nights ago and since then I've had a sore throat and chills.

God damn it.

I like Taco Bell... But when I order my food I dont exspect the items to be correct... I just care that the right number of items is in the bag...

In Washington I sware they hire the most retarded people to work at Taco bell.

[Jesda]

Do they have Taco Time and other knockoffs over on the west side?
