Last message on previous page: W5 did a research study few years back purchasing different food from different fast food businesses and all of them came out with every germ in the book as tested by a reputable lab.
Basically fecal matter, Windex, floor cleaners, human disease such as the common cold viruses and many more things.
I am not Howard Hughes and I have an immune system so I eat where I please.
If I get that sick off something I knew I ate and can prove to my own self that product came from a certain place I would certainly let them know about it.
McDonalds did score higher then all the rest for clean of viral and communicable diseases but they also scored highest for cleaning products in the food such as floor cleaners and glass cleaners.
You now have 2 choices eat at your favourite dive and hope the guy washed his hands after he had a bathroom break, or Eat at a very clean fast food joint and risk being poisoned by cleaning materials. Both scored serious lab results in quantity of food contamination.
You gotta watch Supersize Me, awesome documentary on the fast food industry.
I dont call that an awsome documentary, but rather a one person point of view. I dont want to protect McDonald's, or any other fast food chain, but the problems is not really the food, but the way of live some peoples has.
This <A HREF="http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=a192c951-f8e0-4350-bd58-a2423bf1b9ee&page=1" target="_new"> article from the National post</A> show another side of the reality.
It is about a biology teacher that decide to show his student another story. For one month, he just ate at McDonalds, but, he did make some normal exercise and he did lost 17 pounds and his blood pressure was lower than before with this regime.
Another thing.. I dont understant people bashing at multinational. First, it is people that goes to McDonald's, and not McDonald's that take them to their restaurant to eat. Just like WalMart and other big compagny. They offer a service and peoples are free to use it or not. When I go to eat there, I dont feel guilty, I just had to go elswhere if I were not happy to have them near for fast lunch when time is thigh while working. I sometime goes to the small independant restaurant to. And remember that the peoples that work at WalMart or McDonalds are from your local community and you actually support them by supporting the place that hires them.
There is a need for all kind of service in our economy and that ok.

well it's Friday night march 4 and I had my first real meal in about 3 days, and I went to shoneys. Wasn't that great of a meal. I think after reading all these forums fast food will be less of my diet. I can't even look at Mcdonalds now without getting a quezy stomache. Kind of a condition and response thing.
If McDonald start giving every person a case of stomach flu, maybe McDonald is doing public service. Bying showing how bad they are, the public will soon realize how fast food is not good for them. The only fast thing you will get is being fat and being sick.

Hey NED, I never said that my buddy or anyone he knew put a chicken head in a kids meal, nor did I mean to imply that. I meant that I got a kick out of hearing his story is all. Sorry for the miscue

I worked at a Dairy Queen (not sure if you have those in the US) for 6 months, and I worked the grill flippin burgers out back for a while... man that was the DIRITIEST job I have ever had. Ive worked in the woods and sweated all day, but workign that grill in all that grease and disgusting food was by far the most disgusting thing I have ever worked at... cleaning out taht deep fryer, down underneath all the piping and where the filters were, everything was literally BLACK 1 - 2inches of grime and sludge... the floors even after cleaning them, still have a slick glaze from all the lard and fat and cooking grease. and the stench. rotten food in the garbage, raw burger paddies that just reeked... ugh sorry, but fast food is just absolutely gut wrenching
Oooh, your making me hungry, NOT! BTW, yes DQ is alive in the US, for many years.
Hopefully today, all fast food restraunts are inspected and maintained better. [/covers ears, I'm not listening]

Another question about fast food. What is classified as beef? Depending on where you live, animal meat such as horse, earthworm, and even kangaroo can be considered to be beef products.
"Hey Jim, how's that Bacon Double Earthworm Burger taste today???"

They are all the same... Eat Wendy's every days and stop doing exercises and come back to tell us how you feel.
McDonalds is just the biggest player in that league and that why all the critics goes toward them. Fact is, I rather eat at McDo as if they are very watched has to be carefull and clean everytime than at Wendy,s, who may not really care about their food as nobody watch them... same could apply to BK and Harvey's...
But I do not try to protect McDo.. Fact is, they dont need me to advocate for them. They did a pretty good job with their marketing after supersize me. They are even stronger, IMHO. This is just my opinion about seing both side of the story.

Well it's saturday, and I don't think my appitite will be the same. I was at work today and a dude brought in Mcdonalds. I had to turn the other direction. Wierd Huh. I still like TAco bell though. I'm cooking Microwave tonight. Cajun chicken alfrado, good stuff. bought a optical mouse yesturday from walmart for $19.00 and all i have to say is wow. It's made by logitech and says 2 times quicker on the box, and so on, and so on. I love this thing. It's nice not to have to deal with a rolling mouse. the old mouse made it real hard to play chicken hunter, but now I'm shooting those things out the sky left and right.
OMG! This thread is still going full steam. The thing I cant beleive is that it has actually managed to stay on the same topic. I guess we should add another section "THE FAST FOOD DIARIES"
READ THE STICKY AND WIN A PRIZE! ALL PRIZES CAN BE CLAIMED IN THE SECTION TITLED "THE OTHER"
it's amazing how some of the threads keep going, and going, and going. how about a thread that talks about the affects of certain foods on your computer equipment when they fall on it. Like when you just get home from grabbing a byte of food from some fast food place and head strait for the computer when you get home and take a byte out of you sanchwich and it splatters on your keyboard. Or how you managed to spill chocolate milk on your computer and destroyed the keyboard. but i want have to deal with that anymore because I'm to afraid to go to a fast food place now after my experience and reading this forum.

We just ate Taco Smell tonite. Very nice, romantic Mehico take out and carriage ride to our hocienda. Where we succulently scarfed down massive quantities of taco toxins washed down with white merlot wine. Ooooh La La, I had me Donnatella crooning for more of me, and we snuggled down to watch filmnoir Don Won. A very good movie, BTW.

I don't like Taco Hell as much anymore since they got rid of the plain old chicken soft taco. Bastards

Taco Hell used to be the poor man's heaven! You could go in there with $2 and <b>gorge</b> yourself. Now they're about as expensive as any other fast food place.

Just ask for a regular soft taco or soft taco supreme, but ask to substitute chicken for the beef... wa-la - Chicken soft taco
Yeah you can, but the f*ckers working in the back can't read English or something on the order monitor, and they f*ck it up. Every time. Really irritating.

I LOVE chinese food. It's amazing that the little "hole-in-the-wall" joints have some of the best food at great prices! In the southern US it's hard to find really good chinese restaurants.

Just remember, chicken in Spanish is pollo (poyo)

I can't not believe this forum has went on as long as it has. I would like to see at least 100 replies. Well, I enjoyed the left overs of my olive garden tonight. We have a few chinese places here in the blue ridge mountains, of NC, but Mexican REstarunts tend to be the thing. we have a big mexican population here. I love MExican food. the spicyer the better. Love going to eat with the guys ,but hate that I can't join in the coversation as much since don't know how to speak spanish that good , yet. will learn. Live on chimagungas.
