No, but ramen noodles is certainly doing its part. Instant ramen is worse for you than any McDonald's food but that's not stopping people from eating it. There are times I rather eat nice hot bowl of instant ramen noodle over any made from scratch meal or even any fancy meal at a 3 star restaurant.

"Liberals" love to talk about how amazing the Native Americans were, a part of which was how they didn't waste anything, they used every part of the animal. Yet nowadays, food snobs love to brag about how certain parts of an animals are inedible because.... because.... gross....

Fucking first world fucking problems.

What do "liberals" have anything to do with this discussion? Americans have been programmed not to like eating things like intestines, stomachs, and so on. Is it right? Are those parts of animals inherently "gross?" No, people decide what's "good" and what isn't.

It's simply a matter of personal preference. There are many things I've tried that I didn't think I'd like but ended up proving myself wrong. Fact of the matter is McDonalds and many other fast food chains and processed food manufacturers play loosey-goosey with the terms "beef," "pork," and "chicken" when advertising their products when, in fact, the ingredients are not what the general populace would consider fall within those definitions.

I prefer ground beef made from actual cuts of meat and I have the means to purchase it so I do. The same goes for all other meats. It's no different than my preference for microbrew beers over cheap macrobrews like Bud Light, Busch, etc. Or should I feel ashamed because there are billions of sober people in the world that would look down on my snobbery? 🙂

That's because you didn't grow up eating it regularly and never had the good kind. The Top Ramen crap they sell at US supermarket is not fit for human consumption. I wouldn't feed that to a dog. Koreans make the best instant ramen. Japanese might have invented it but Koreans perfected it.
 
I don't know, I buy, on occasion, the fancy instant ramen from T&T here and while it is definitely better than the other crap, I still stand by Sawyer's statement.

Surprised people actually think McDee's actually tastes "good" have you people ever had a real homemade burger before? That is what is known as good, what did you people grow up eating? Just fast food and could your parent not cook or something?

I have no problem with people eating there do whatever you want, I just don't understand the "good" part, it tastes like processed dog food to me.

And most people don't know what the hell they're doing when they say they can cook better than something as basic as Outback so any time someone says home cooked is automatically better than fast food, I just laugh.
 
YES! The food-douchery is high in this thread. So high that McD's hate couldn't even contain, it's now spilled out into Ramenland!

If that's the message you took from what I said, you're winning the Stupid Poster of the Thread contest.
 
Why are some of you unreasonably combative over the subject of fast food? Lol.

If you want to eat that shit, by all means have at it. Just because grown-ass adults don't want to subject themselves to that shit does not mean they're snobs...fucking idiots.

Losing weight doesn't mean your diet is healthy though.

What does a "health diet" mean?

From the article:
Well, it worked out, Cisna told KCCI News he had lost 37 pounds, his cholesterol dropped from 249 to 170 and his low-density lipoprotein dropped from 173 to 113. He also managed to get all the meals for free from his local McDonalds

It seems like just dropping weight goes pretty far to making you healthier no matter how "unhealthy" your diet is.

Losing weight certainly makes you healthier. But losing 50 pounds eating cheeseburgers is going to make you less healthy than if you had lost that 50 pounds eating veggies/whole grains.

There's more to your health than weight and cholesterol.

Link to your scientific study?

You're actually going to argue that eating 1000 calories of cheeseburger is as healthy as eating 1000 calories of vegetables and whole grain?

The end result might be the same (you lose X pounds), but there's more to health than weight and cholesterol.
