Fast Food

I've had fast food three times this week. Each time I ate at a different fast food chain. I don't normally have fast food, but I have been so busy it was that or nothing. I know there will be some fast food defenders posting in here shortly. I'm not telling anyone what they should or shouldn't eat, that's your own business.

Sunday morning was McDonald's breakfast. 2 sausage burritos and a large coffee. The burritos were hard, cold and small. There was barely any filling in them at all. The coffee was good though. 40 minutes later I was in the bathroom with the projectile shits. I'm not sure what meat was used for the sausage but it must have been ground rat testicles because it tasted like shit.

Monday afternoon was Taco Hell. I zipped through the drive up between errands; little did I know that quick bite would put me out for several hours. Two soft taco supremes and a medium Sprite Zero. The taco meat looked like liquid shit. I don't think my body actually had to do anything to turn the meat into shit because it looked and smelled the same going in as coming out. An hour later I barfed part of it up and fire shat the rest out. I continued to have the fire shats for two hours with about 15 mins apart per session.

Tuesday evening I was running late and needed supper. I stopped into a Long John Silver's thinking I could get some grilled fish. I must have been dreaming to think they would have anything on the menu that wasn't fried. My two fish "planks" were dripping with grease. I ate them anyway with a regular Coke. I didn't eat the fries because they were soggy like they had been submerged in grease for a few hours. Luckily there was no puking or shitting this time but I did end up with stomach cramps. It felt like someone was squeezing my intestines with vice grips.

Well you picked some fine specimens to judge. Heh. The majority of fast food does suck, and I think I only eat it maybe 3x a year. But I do enjoy the occasional Five Guys burger (does that count as fast food?) and Arby's chicken sandwich. The only fast food I think I could say I wish I ate more often is Popeyes fried chicken.

I love Five Guy's and I don't consider them fast food (they aren't fast or cheap). They also have never made me sick.

No one MADE you eat the stuff. You could have had a bacon, egg and cheese bagel at Mc Donalds. You could have had the chicken at Taco Bell. The LJS... EVERYTHING they have is fried so you should have gone some place else.

Damn you're quick.

You act like I was expecting or knew before hand that the food I ordered would be bad. I had no way of knowing, I don't eat at these places often enough to learn what is good and what isn't.

Anything else?

I have never gotten sick, except when I stopped eating fast food for a few years, and went to McDonalds for the first time in years....man I felt like shit! Headache, stomach ache, etc. I feel fine now when I eat it, but man did that suck!

Supposedly nothing anymore. I eat fish (even fried), burgers and tacos that I make at home all the time without a problem.

lately for me, my fast food levels have dropped tremendously. But when I did eat fast food, It was more about not eating the fried stuff, ESPECIALLY at Taco Bell. Most stuff other than that, was fine. Now everything just tastes so salty to me.

There is a lot of fast food that's delicious and healthy. Fast food need not be the stuff from the gigantic chains. Some legitimate options:

1) Turkish, middle-eastern, Greek. Gyro, shawarma, etc.
2) Indian/Pakistani. Much Indian food is very healthy and easily accessible. They also have a lot of tandoori options that are very good and very healthy.
3) Mexican. Mexican tacos are healthy and delicious. Corn tortilla, meat, onion, cilantro and a little lime.
4) Chinese. No, not the American, fat-laden fried crap. A real Chinese place will have a lot of simple and fast options, and mostly just high in protein and plenty of spice. Szechuan places are my favorite if they're authentic.

And there are others, but the point is fast food options are everywhere. You just have to put forth a little initial effort to find them. Most of them are hole in the wall type places, and sometimes getting English speaking people is a chore. You're heavily rewarded for the effort though.

Totally correct. Finding a nice hole in the wall place usually has fast food, pretty inexpensive, and not overly processed like the big chains. But it's taking to time to find the places.

Maybe if you didn't have the digestive system of an 80 year old woman, you could handle your fast food.

cheap + delicious = why I eat fast food

Or get take out from local eat in non-countrywide-chain places. I like finding some local places that I can run in, grab some food that is takeout. Lots of sandwich places qualify also.

I eat at local, non chain places all the time. In fact I grew up on them living in Chicago. Never had a problem with places like that either. I don't consider places like these "fast food" though.

Wait, so you want opinions and someone gives you their opinion then you shoot it down? I don't understand the purpose of this thread. Was it to bitch about your weak stomach?

Well, you yourself said you normally don't eat fast food. Even not knowing anything about the food before... I would have guessed certain things would be "safer" to eat than others.

You had to expect the answers you are getting. You have been here longer than most.

I see you are suffering from the same problem as Dicko.

Making judgment's about people you don't know = fail.

Answers? That implies I was asking a question. I am just sharing my experience. You seem like you just want to attack me for not liking fast food.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
