Why does everyone bash McDonalds?

[trmiv]

I think they have the best fries of any fast food place, but I don't like their burgers though, I prefer Carl's jr if I want a fast food burger. I like the chicken McNuggets though, I don't give a crap if they don't look like whole pieces of chicken. And I loooooove their sausage mcmuffins. Yea, not the healthiest thing in the world, but I usually give in to the cravings maybe once a month and hit McDonalds for lunch.

most of their food tastes horrible. BK and Hardees have the best burgers. wendy's and mcds fries suck. bk's fried aren't bad. arby's probably has the best fries - curly spicy fries ftw!

QFT...

Jack In the Box is way better... Carl's Jr. also if your on the West Coast.

Ever noticed how the Big Macs always seem to get smaller?

Everyone here recommends Wendy's Hamburgers.. but they just don't do it for me... the taste is so dull. And the fries suck arse.

Mcdonalds > Wendy's, IMO.

In addition, I'm 6'1 / 140 lbs.. so wouldn't I need more fat anyway? -_-

No your not fat, your a skinny little fvck.

I prefer Wendys over McDonalds. If I have to, or I am getting breakfast, I'll eat at McDonalds if its the only fastfood place around. I probably only eat at McDs 2 or 3 times a year though...

And has anyone had Wendys new 99 cent chicken sandwich? I thought it was pretty good.

 

[canadageek]

personally, i find the fries are alright, not nearly as good as Arby's or A&W, though.
the actual burgers and other foods aren't bad, but they aren't great. its the kind of food, to me, at least, that you have to be hungry to eat. you aren't going to go out of your way to get it, but you'll eat it if you're hungry.

of course, this is assuming the McD's food i'm served in my town is identical to everywhere else, which i doubt.

I like Wendy's because their chili is good and it's much healthier than fries. The .99 cent chicken sandwich is good but it has 3g of tras fat so I tend to avoid it.

I bash McDonald's because the food sucks. I know it sucks because I usually feel sick before I finish eating it. The burgers and fries are simply awful. Nuggets are alright.

BK, Wendy's, and Arby's, however, are always a treat.

lol, we have this thread every week. I agree that McDonald's is superior to BK and Wendy's, but they still aren't the best.

Homemade >>>> In-n-Out > McDonald's > Jack in the Box > Carl's Jr >>>>> Whataburger = Burger King = Wendy's

Your list is very fvcked up.

Oh, and one more thing...
healthy != not fat

There's so much more crap in McD's food than fat - trans fat (which is absolutely horrible for you, even if you're skinny), cholesterol, excess sodium, etc etc the list goes on.

Mind you, this isn't exclusive to McDs, it's all fast food. But McDs seems to be the figurehead for fast food in general.

QFFT! :thumbsup:

And also, why the fvck does everyone in this thread think that healthy = skinny? You can be in ****** health and be skinny, too, fatness just brings on more problems. You got to have muscle and be lean to be healthy, not skinny.

That's the most bullshit response ever.

What is that weird special sauce in McDonald's burgers? I'm sorry, but I like my ketchup and mustard, which you can get at Wendy's and In n Out.

The meat quality is better at other restaurants (but still made with tons of grease)

The fries at McDonalds are awesome, but for quality In n Out burger wins for using real potatos that are sliced on-site. Those are REAL fresh french fries. McDonalds' still taste amazing though.

McDonalds is second only to Jack in the Box for cheapness. Double Cheeseburger + fries = $2. 4 Jack tacos = $2. It all depends on what you're in the mood for

Scientific studies show that it's actually better to eat some unhealthy things from time to time. It keeps your cells active and healthy when they have to fix some minor damage.

I've never enjoyed breakfast foods at any fast food place.

Wendy's always serves the smallest and most shriveled up patties and their french fries suck. If Whataburger restaurants weren't so disgusting and if BK didn't give me food poisoning twice they'd be the worst.

Spare me. It's true for most people here.

You entirely missed the point of his post. Rather, you made it further true.

Also, their hash browns rock.

Their coffee is pretty good too now that they've revised it.

I'm not a fan of their burgers.
Their chicken sammiches are pretty decent, but I like Wendy's spicy chicken better.


EDIT:
For Lunch today I had a spicy chicken sammich, two quarter pound double stacks, a large fries, a small chilli, and a large coke. That's over 2600 calories. I was shooting for "a moderate sized meal for under $10" for lunch today, but I feel as if I could probably still eat one or two more quarter pounders. Ahh well ...

i'll agree that breakfast foods rock. hash browns can be good only if they cook them properly, which is about a 50-50 chance.

chicken sandwiches aren't bad but i've had better. the oreo ice cram thing is good. everything else is just tastes like grease. thats an opinion based on taste , not some stupid movie that i never saw or because its the "in" thing.

mcdonalds truly sucks with most of its food.

That's kind of nasty. 8-10% is best.

 

[AMDZen]

Everything is better then McDonalds.

I hate their fries personally. The only thing I like is their Big Mac's and I will never be able to give up their breakfast, I have to eat it at least once a month or so
