McDonalds is terrible attempt at food. The healthy people dont need to be going after them. Common sense that if you can get a meal for $3.00 chances are it isnt going to fill you up or keep you from the toilet in 15 mins, the only good thing for McDonalds is its better then ex lax

Dont mean to be so graphic but its the truth

Where does end, folks? Where does it end?

No more bad choices for you. I'll decide what you can eat.
Refined sugar is pretty evil...

"Ain't that the truth" don't like a certain place, don't eat there.
I make my own burgers better then the crap they serve at fast food, what a burger i make, and i know what we are eating.

People are free to make their own choices.
We do have a obesity problem here in the US however i still beleive that people should be allowed to make their own choices. Right or wrong.
