A lot of people are quite passive here about what their food does to you. I watched a documentary before about a guy called Morgan Spurlock. In truth, I had to switch the thing off after about 10-15 mins in, I started to feel sick watching him. When it was re-ran I watched it through, and it's a real eye-opener.
The idea behind this documentary was to see what effects it would have on his body after living solely on Maccy D's for month. Of course normal people wouldn't live off it for a month, but it was interesting nonetheless. He was advised by doctors during the filming to quit his McDonalds diet because it was beginning to cause serious health implications, and in particular they were concerned about diabetes. During what they did get filmed up to that point, he had gained nearly two stone.
His first day on the job :

Finally a civilized response!
Interesting watch, thankoo
A lot of people reckon the coffee is really good. I think it's ok - certainly a lot better than you'd expect from McDonalds - but generally speaking, I wouldn't view it as really good.
Have to say I like their coffee myself, though I'd prefer if you could add your milk at a little side-station thingy, and use proper milk. The little measures they give you are fiddley and I have to ask for more of them.
The tea is shyte.0 -

Though I'm not disagreeing with you - Anything with such high fat, salt and sugar levels is very bad for you, and if you consume food like this over a long period of time then it will do damage.
The documentary was very sensationalised and he was projecting a lot of his opinions as fact.
And the coffee is nice - 2 quid cant go wrong especially when the other coffee places in dublin charge nearly 3 quid for coffee thats no better.0 -

My sister and her husband paused that film to go to McDonalds. They said seeing him eating the burgers made them hungry for one.
That's a fact!
Fair play to them
Anyways, it was the fizzy drinks that did him all the damage, not the food.
I can say confidently that the few healthy choices there are the bottles of water, milk, the bags of fruit, the bags of raisins, the salads, and thats more or less it. You can add coffee or tea depending on the sugar you add to it.0 -

I love McDonald's (the business model more so than the food - although I do enjoy the food!). McDonald's, in itself, is a fascinating way of watching the trends of the area that it's in. Look at the way it reinvented itself - from the plastic red and yellow kiddie playground with crap music from when I was a kid and all they wanted was to get us in and get us out, to the green, McCafe, "come into us on the way to work and pick up some breakfast and a coffee" establishment that it is today.
Like it or loath it, it's a tremendously successful entity and I think that's because it adapts to the needs of the locals. If you're getting a couple of sachets of ketchup with your fries, I bet you that's because the majority of customers in that store are asking for ketchup. Rumour has it, they sell beer in the likes of Germany. I'm just surprised they're not selling Scrumpy Jack in their O'Connell Street stores!
Was in France last year and we were doing a long drive and saw a McDonald's and couldn't resist. Himself ordered a Big Mac and I got a Quarter Pounder. His Big Mac was tiny! My Quarter Pounder had all the meat, but the bun was much smaller than over here. We tried to order an apple pie, but, no matter how many times we said "pomme" (one of the few French works we knew), the lady at the counter kept trying to give us a fruit cup. I guess the French eat healthier than us.
I only get a McDonald's once every few months, but I'd much prefer it to a chipper. I may be wrong, but a burger from McD's feels much healthier than a chipper burger where you can actually taste the grease! Not saying that it's one of your five a day, but if you're going to get fast food, you could do worse.dark crystal wrote: »Why do McDonald's automatically put gherkins in the burgers?

I love the gerkins!I find this hard to believe but I will try one tomorrow to see.
McDonald's coffee is actually amazing. I was told this before, but I didn't believe it. Tried it a while ago when all the other coffee shops were closed and I couldn't believe how good it is. Now I go about five minutes out of my way to work in the morning to pick up a latte. I shouldn't have been surprised that it was so good though - they know what they're doing!0 -

In that it causes one, so yeah......I love the gerkins!

Re : gherkins....ask for your burger without if you're not into them. I do this, but not because I don't like gherkins, because I want a fresh burger that hasn't been sitting there for the past hour
McD's coffee is disgusting. It tastes like grease and it sickens me :pac:0 -

I want to be in California again
.. I miss In-N-Out..
yeah me too.. and they have proper fries too. I remember watching them load this machine in the store with potatoes which scraped all the skin off and chopped them up on the spot.
Eddie Rockets has turned to crap. I used to be a big fan but went back to one recently after a break of 2 years. The food was horrible , especially the chilli and the bill was so large it gives me nightmares looking back.0 -
