I don't think it matters to people who eat at McDonalds--calories, sodium, sat. fat. They wouldn't be there if they wanted to to eat healthy. Geez. I personally could care less what other people eat--just what I eat.
I dont know - we travel ALOT and sometimes, at smaller airports and on military bases, the McD's is the only alternative. I don't travel by bus but some family members do take GreyHound and sometimes - that's it - the bus stops at McD's and it's either that or nothing (if you haven't packed your own)
I don't care all that much what other eat either - but I do think that they are entitled to the nutritional information.
I've already seen the calories posted on the drive thru at Burger King and Whataburger. It does help, especially because right now my daughter is learning about how many calories she needs for a day, and she can figure out why asking for two double cheeseburgers and some fries will use up most of her calories for that day.
If I was low income I would rather be full from fast food than starving from not eating anything at all.
How can "low income" folks even afford McDonalds? That place can be pretty expensive. A cheeseburger and small fry can run about $2. And that is not much food. A normal meal at McDonalds, with Quarter Pounder, Fries, Coke, runs about $7. A month of that, would be about $210. That buys a lot of bread, and PB&J, milk, and apples. A lot healthier, and more nutrious than a Quarter Pounder, Fries, and a Coke.
I kind of like the chipolte grilled chicken wraps at Mc Donalds- spicy but pretty tasty. These have to be lower in calories than a McDouble or a Big Mac with Fries!
Not as bad as I thought. They always advertise McD's as being gross and fatty, but it doesn't compare with Chipotle (one burrito is at least 800 calories!).
I haven't eaten at McD's for awhile (not because of this).
I love burritos and would probably eat one no matter what the calories if I was really craving one. The grilled chicken wraps aren't quite like a burrito. These have grilled chicken, lettuce with a bit of cheese and spicy chipotle sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla at 250 calories each. I don't feel as guilty eating these - but they also have the fried chicken wraps at 330 calories and I stay away from those.
Mc D's is not my first choice to eat but usually because it smells so greasy when you go in..... if I went there a lot I really would want french fries and a chocolate milk shake and an apple pie. And top it off with a hot fudge sundae.
News, McDonald's branch first to offer plates and table service
A branch of McDonald's in Australia will become the first outlet in the world to offer diners the option of plates, cutlery and table service.
The outlet in the seaside suburb of Warilla, south of Sydney, won approval from the international fast-food giant's global headquarters in Chicago to trial a more formal service for five weeks.
People should be happy to eat off of plastic trays and paper bags. Obesity shouldn't be associated with plates and silverware, no siree.
