My boss bought a bunch of McDonald's for us yesterday. I haven't had it in years, and now I remember why. Absolute shit! Tastes like shit, and is full of chemicals and preservatives. How they're still in business is beyond me. Is it even real food? ???
-
Their breakfast food is....okay... but their dinner menu is not fit for human consumption. You shouldn't even feed it to your dog. It's probably comprised of various petroleum by-products.

You can get a "premium" sandwich for 1$ with the McD app. I would opt for the chicken myself.

A few years back, I had a McDonald's for the first time in years and I had the same experience. Tasted like utter shit. Had an awful after-taste too.

McDonald’s tastes amazing,double cheeseburger or Big Mac are both awesome.Not into fries and their chicken sucks.

can't go wrong with the Donald combo of 2 big macs + 2 fillet-o-fish + large chocolate shake

I don't understand how buffets stay in business myself. A bunch of people leering over different foods, grabbing with their fingers....slamming down thousands of calories in one sitting. Disgusting stuff!

Last time I ate at a buffet was about 15 years ago. I was in a China Buffet, and I had an awakening. As I was eating my food, I was watching a couple of fatties at the table next to me. They were pounding down fried Tempura Chicken, and dipping it in sweet and sour sauce. I witnessed both fatties licking their fingers clean, sucking the sauce off their fingers like they were lollipops. They then got up, went back to the buffet line, and started getting seconds, thirds, and so on. It dawned on me at that moment, that the same fingers they just got done sucking off, were the same fingers they were grabbing the serving spoons and tongs. I then watched the patrons in line behind them, grab the same spoons and tongs.
I looked around the room, and basically everyone was sucking their fingers, and going back to the buffet line. Over and over and over. Essentially, when you pick up the serving spoons or tongs, you're picking up hundreds of different bodily fluids. That was the last buffet plate I ever had. :-\

McDonald's on the whole is nasty and repugnant, but I do have to agree with ^^^^^this. Once or twice a year I get a hankering for a Big Mac and nothing else will satisfy it but a Big Mac.

I like it on occasion, lived off it as a teen... Used to have: Big Mac, Lg. Fry, Chicken Sandwich, Cherry Pie, cookies and orange drink.

mcdonalds is good every now and then great food when nursing a hangover, dont take life to seriously as long as the majority of the time your living and eating healthy junk food can be good.

I used to have a burger here and there.
But I think the beef is too fat nowdays. 20% fat. I dont eat beef unless it's 10% fat or less.

How about 11%?

Yes.
Was being facetious. If you need something quick or cheap with almost no margin for prep error, it's fine. It doesn't really pretend to be too much more than that.

well alot of stores have 12% I take it sometimes tbh but usually stay under 10 out of principle.

Chances are NC laws regarding starting businesses maybe slightly different (read advantageous to those like Goodrum ) Especially online businesses. And then there is the possibility of help from the state for starting businesses, that Goodrum takes advantage of.

He actually eats at McDonalds every day...his choice actually depends on the stock market. His wife actually packs the exact amount of dollars and cents for him although he really doesn't need it since he has a Golden Arch's card. It allows him to eat at McDonald free for life in Omaha. Bill Gates has one too but he can use his anywhere around the world

mcdonalds brings back amazing memories for me
if i am not on a diet, on a road trip - you better believe i will get some fries, burgers and nuggets
its not high end food - so $5.00 what do you expect?
MCD love it

Coffee is the only thing worth getting there. Nasty food and everything tastes the same as the next thing on the menu.
-
I dig its sausage-and-egg McMuffin and the coffee. This combo I purchase reasonably frequently.
But in general, McDs is total shit. Garbage “food”.
You consume it and feel horrible. Like you’ve eaten rat salad with some styrofoam.
I never understood why they always feature new hamburgers. Why not just produce ONE basic one ... that isn’t hot shit?
Remember the pizza? Boy, what a treat. :-X
And where are the McDonald’s gang these days? Not PC enough for the leftlibs?

Same here, the summer we finally got a McDonald’s nearby, me and mates were all just 17, a few of us just got drivers license and cheeseburgers were 2 for a £1, practically lived off them all summer driving around all night since it was still a novelty with no responsibilities or a care in the world.

It literally is the cheapest chain restaurant in America, possibly the world. Other chains have value menus, but none are as extensive and once you compare higher end items across brands, McDonalds is far cheaper. It tastes exactly like what you'd expect something battling for market dominance at that price point to taste like. Maybe even a little better. :-\ Of course it doesn't taste gourmet or comparable to smash burger. It's not supposed to.
-
As distasteful as McDonald's is--if given the choice, I'd rather eat there than at Burger King. Who even eats at Burger King anymore?

MCD fries, simple burger on a road trip is great, getting Mcd big breakfast after being hung over in some random ass downtown - count me in.
plus being from Chicago, it is a home town comapny that paid for entire youth football, baseball, jesse white tumblers (its a black thing) and so much more. they give a shit ton of money to charity.

With 2 or more hours to drive and I'm hungry, a small order of McD fries gets me there.

Love McDonald's! Eat there several times a week. No matter which one I go to it's always clean and well kept -- including the bathrooms. I use the app, which a previous poster mentioned. Just tap it in and pay on my way over there and it's ready to go when I'm there. And there is always a deal on the things I would order anyway. Yesterday, I got a Big Mac for a dollar and I ordered a regular burger which I use to take out the patty and add it to the Big Mac and dump the extra bread. That and an order of fries for under five dollars. Did the same thing the day before except it was the Quarter Pounder with cheese for a dollar before adding the extra beef patty and a bag of fries again for under five dollars.
McDonald's is the king of fast food and has their shit down to a science and always trying to improve and innovate as the industry is so competitive and cutthroat.

McDonalds has hundreds of outlets in Australia. They used to be cheap meal deals but no more. Over $10 for a meal here. Au dollars of course. I go occasionally to Hungry Jacks which was formerly Burger King. Better deal there plus they give a free refill on drinks.

It's a guilty pleasure, but their French fries are very good if you eat them quickly while they're still very hot. Same for their deep fried crispy hash-browns which are only available during breakfast serving hours.

You got to hit up the value deals, brah! Double cheeseburgers for $2.50. And, like I said, I get the app so they always have all their burgers (Big Mac, Quarter pounders) except the signature burgers for just a buck. Big Mac for a buck! Who's going to beat that? And when you grow up in a family of nine you can't be picky about your food. As a kid, MCD was fine eating and we would get dressed up (which means a button shirt and shoes) when the family went out to dinner at McDonald's.

Years ago I came up with a thought experiment about so called junk food or fast food. The idea was to have a setup of several fast food outlets all joined together and have a bunch of guys living in a residence and they can eat only what is on the menus there. McDonalds, KFC and perhaps Pizza Hut. You can add others here.
There would be gym equipment for the guys to train on. There would be a large cash prize for the guy who gained the most muscle over say a three month period. Sort of like a reality TV show. The guys would be strictly monitored and tested for banned substances. No supplements or external food could be used.
My prediction is that everyone would gain muscle and be healthy. Well, unless some knucklehead ate only fries and coke! What amuses me is that many meals served at home are not as nutritious as most meals at those fast food places.
The idiot who ate only McDonalds and upsized things and stopped exercising wouldn't be that healthy. So disregard that silly 'experiment'.
Clearly fast food is not junk. The closest food that is are mushrooms. They have almost no nutritional value. Hamburgers are nutritious and people can probably survive on them.

No it isn't. You can get 2 cheeseburgers, small fries, a large drink and an apple pie for $5-6. It definitely is not considered expensive. But even if you're comparing the type of meals that posters here are more likely to get (like big mac / quarter pounder type stuff) , you're only going to find cheaper stuff in the outer boroughs. Comparable chain places like Wendy's, Burger King, etc are all more expensive across boroughs. There aren't that many BKs in manhattan, but there's one on the same block as my apartment building . I almost never go to it(mainly because I am not eating much red meat these days, not because of its poor getbig reputation), but they had this thing called a farm burger or something like that a few months ago that I tried out. It was one of their premium burgers, but it was about $9. Just for the burger- no fries or drink. I remember the price because i was surprised a place like bk would have an item at that price point. McDonalds doesn't have any singular item in that price range.
Also, there is an arbys a few blocks away from me. Now let me tell you something: I love arbys. I grew up in a part of the country that had a lot of arbys, and in the time I've lived in NYC, we have had some bad luck with them. When the first arbys returned to the city 4 years ago and it opened up so close to where I live, I felt like the universe was smiling on me. It was around the time I was first cutting down on red meat, but I made special exceptions for arbys. I'm a fan. That being said, from an objective standpoint, it's even shittier than mcdonalds, yet it's somehow much more expensive.
Two regular sandwiches and small fries comes out to more than $10 in nyc. It's actually something that they have the balls to charge that amount of money for pressed meat in this day and age. Nevertheless, I rarely get basic sandwiches when I go there and usually get something more calorie dense and I am always surprised by how much I end up paying. Part of that is because arbys was known as value food when I was growing up.
And those are the more reasonable prices. From there, in nyc, prices just go up. Luckily, the food tends to get much better, but you arent really going to find cheaper stuff than mcdonalds in nyc. At least, it won't be easy to find.

I will agree that the Whopper and Jumbo Jack are much better burgers that the Big Mac and Quarter Pounders. I like the bigger patty, sliced tomatoes, crispy leaf lettuce and whole sliced onions and not that diced stuff you get at McDonald's. But there are many other reasons why a person picks one thing over another. And there are several aspects that has me going to McDonald's several times a week.
A big one for me is convenience. I tend to hit the fast food places right after the gym. I pass right by McDonald's on my way to my car. Sure Burger is just across the street. I posted a pic where you can see it's logo on the right side of the screen. It's right at an intersection so I have to get in my car, get to one intersection and wait at the light, and drive to the intersection where BK is at which is a left-hand turn. Going home I would be turning right and going in the opposite direction. Coming out I can't take a left and head home but now have to turn right, drive about a half of mile, make a U-turn. Again wait at the light before I am on my way.
Now on the way home there's both a Jack-in-the-Box and a Taco Bell, both of which I prefer the food over McDonald's but, again, they are on the opposite side. There's also a KFC right to the left of the picture that I also go to as it's in the same parking lot as MCD and I go there maybe once for every ten times I go to McDonald's. Love greasy fried chicken and I always get the extra greasy crispy fired but feel I should go easy on that.
-
Now, this is what I see right when I leave the gym walking to my car. It's like an Oasis in the parking lot just beckoning me to enter. I mean, it's just right there. Right there waiting for me.
Hard to resist. Damn hard.
-
There are also other things McDonald's does that others don't. One of the main things for me is that they have a full-time custodian always there. Keeping the tables clean, ice machine full of ice, always inspecting the bathrooms. They do a major cleaning on the bathrooms every hour plus constant inspection and touchups. I like the self-serve napkins. Take as many as you want. At BK and Jack in the Box, you have to ask for extras. Also, I like free unlimited access to the bathrooms and not to have to stand in line or cut in to ask for a key or code like you do at the other two drive ins. I understand why they do it because of the homeless people that use it and leave a mess. MCD just accepts that and the custodian understands it's part of their job. Even better I like that MCD provides those free sanitary wipes so you don't even have to go into the bathroom to wash and dry your hands. I just take a couple of those to clean my hands and I'm all set. Also, I can order right from my phone. As I leave the gym I tap in my order and pay through my card and by the time I get there, it's ready to go. Today it was crowded as hell and a long line but I just grabbed the first open table, got my napkins, and water, sat down and caught up on the news until my order was called out. I worked my way through all the people standing in line and waiting for their order and bypassed them to get my tray.
Easy. No stress.
-
Oh, and I almost forgot one of the most important thing. Value. Value to me is not just the fixed cost of a product, but what you get for your money. BK and Jack in the Box have better burgers but how much better? Theirs is over $5 whereas at McDonalds there QPs and Big Macs I always get for a dollar.
Like everything in life, whether choosing a new car or a new girlfriend, it's total package that seals the deal.
Taking in totality. McDonald's is hard to beat.
And for those who think McDonald's is garbage and too expensive for what you get please tell me exactly what is garbage about this meal I just bought. I see 100% beef, pickles/cucumber, onions,
potatoes, wheat. That's 40 grams of protein all for barely over $4.00.
-
Had no idea you had a drinking problem.
It's not something I'm proud of. I am happy that I've made the decision to do something about it and I'm pulling for my success in getting and keeping this problem under control. So far so good.
It's a shame that I waited so long to take charge of this piece of my life. Like most alcoholics, I convinced myself that I didn't have a problem. I was in denial. My wife hated that I drank. Wherever she is, I know she's in my corner.
I'm very lucky that drinking to excess for so long hasn't compromised my health. Luck can run out when you least suspect it. I don't want to wait until mine does. Better safe than sorry.

Did you know that you can order one or several cheeseburgers without the bun?

A few weeks ago I was questioned by a friend about the eating a McDonald's. He told me that more than any fast food place, or maybe more than anything in general, McDonald's is one of the main reasons people are fat. He showed me scientific studies and statistics that showed that as the fast food industry grew so did obesity and that since McDonald's was the leader in the fast food game they are the most responsible.
So just having more McDonald's makes people fat? Nothing to do with people simply eating too much. Sure, easy and cheap access to food will make it more likely that people will eat more but who's fault is that? Should the government start tearing down McDonald's and place a limit to how many there should be in a given area?
And to make it worse, my friend insists that McDonald's food, in and of itself, makes people fat. It's the food itself, not the quantity of food, that has more to do with people being fat. Like there's some magical or sinister force that makes a carb and protein 8 calories per gram instead of 4 and the fat calories just go straight to the belly or hips.
And the irony of it all that as he sits there lecturing, I keep glancing at his pot belly and wonder if he has any self-awareness at all as his boycotting of McDonald's and other fast food places have not resulted in any real world difference in his body composition.
I thought of this sitting on the bench in the locker room after I just tapped in my McDonald's order. I mean, these things do kind of catch up with you. After all, I don't compete in sports anymore and not even remotely close to being as active as I use to be and I have cut down my workouts to just twice a week. So, I walked over to the sink and took a quick look at the gut. Though I'm nowhere near stage ready and don't pay as much attention to these things as I use to, I thought that despite my advanced age and increasingly decrepit state, I still have, to use Shizzo's words when describing his folds of fat, "a hint of abs.
-
It looks like you stole my belly button. ;D
-
Did you know that you can order one or several cheeseburgers without the bun?
I toss out the bun on the hamburger and add the patty and pickles to the OP. I really loathed making special orders. Those workers have it hard enough without having to deal the special instructions for a damn fast food sandwich. I was behind someone a while ago walking through the cashier on how he wants his Fudge Sundae. "OK, a shot of fudge before anything, then some ice cream, another shot of fudge, more ice cream, then top it off with more fudge."
I'm like, "Oh for fuck's sake, it a $1.50 ice cream!"
I am tempted to say no salt on the fries, because not only is it better for you but you guarantee they are right out of the fryer. But, I just don't have the gall. It's a fast food drive for chrissakes! This is about fast and cheap. Save the special requests for restaurants where you don't have a line of people waiting for you to get the hell out of the way.

I will agree that the Whopper and Jumbo Jack are much better burgers that the Big Mac and Quarter Pounders. I like the bigger patty, sliced tomatoes, crispy leaf lettuce and whole sliced onions and not that diced stuff you get at McDonald's. But there are many other reasons why a person picks one thing over another. And there are several aspects that has me going to McDonald's several times a week.
A big one for me is convenience. I tend to hit the fast food places right after the gym. I pass right by McDonald's on my way to my car. Sure Burger is just across the street. I posted a pic where you can see it's logo on the right side of the screen. It's right at an intersection so I have to get in my car, get to one intersection and wait at the light, and drive to the intersection where BK is at which is a left-hand turn. Going home I would be turning right and going in the opposite direction. Coming out I can't take a left and head home but now have to turn right, drive about a half of mile, make a U-turn. Again wait at the light before I am on my way.
Now on the way home there's both a Jack-in-the-Box and a Taco Bell, both of which I prefer the food over McDonald's but, again, they are on the opposite side. There's also a KFC right to the left of the picture that I also go to as it's in the same parking lot as MCD and I go there maybe once for every ten times I go to McDonald's. Love greasy fried chicken and I always get the extra greasy crispy fired but feel I should go easy on that.
Beautiful scenery in the background.

Neither did I. It was one option the doctor offered, another was radiation and the third was "watchful waiting". Waiting for what? Waiting for the cancer to metastasize and then you die. So far, I picked the best option. No prostate and no cancer.

I remember when TA was touting McD's. He came around and gave us some serious, good recipes. I still use some o
f his flavor when turning. :)

Its American culture in general....As a country without any real history..just a mishmash of a country started just a few hundred years ago...we have no rich culinary, artistic or any other quality contributions to mass culture...
When people want to go fine dining they say there might be a great Italian, Thai, even authentic Mexican restaurant but very rare anyone anywhere in the world looks for some real good American food....its cheap crap designed to make the most profit..making up for quality with disgustingly large proportions to keep American kids bloated, fat little consumers....
-
Oh, and I almost forgot one of the most important thing. Value. Value to me is not just the fixed cost of a product, but what you get for your money. BK and Jack in the Box have better burgers but how much better? Theirs is over $5 whereas at McDonalds there QPs and Big Macs I always get for a dollar.
Like everything in life, whether choosing a new car or a new girlfriend, it's total package that seals the deal.
Taking in totality. McDonald's is hard to beat.
And for those who think McDonald's is garbage and too expensive for what you get please tell me exactly what is garbage about this meal I just bought. I see 100% beef, pickles/cucumber, onions,
potatoes, wheat. That's 40 grams of protein all for barely over $4.00.
You can get a pound of ground beef 80/20 at Costco for $4.29, how is $4.00 cheap for that tiny meal?
-

Agreed, a double quarter pounder costs over $5 and I'm doubting it weighs that much. So basically you are paying about $20 a pound for the burger minus the bun and condiments.

Exactly, no way that burger weighs a quarter pound, next time Pellius you should bring a food scale and weigh the burger, if its not a quarter of a pound threaten to sue ;D

In general maybe - but some of us didn't grow up in the city and had mothers that knew how to cook from scratch.

Your comparing apples with oranges. One meal you have to cook and the other is ready to go. Also, ground beef does not make a full meal as compared the McDonald's. Where is the bun, pickles, ketchup, special sauce, fries and a drink? I'll give you that a pound of ground beef yields 4 quarter pound hamburger patties.
Anyway, how often do you need to buy or fix your own meals while your at work on a cruise ship?
-

1 pound of raw ground beef yields 3/4 pound of cooked beef, no matter who cooks it. If you want to get the full pound, order steak tartar (not available at McDonald's).

Im comparing it price wise, food is free and unlimited on the ship.

Haha lol
We can then head to Vince Goodrums bachelor pad and share some Arby fries with him while he tells us about his 200 online business and Caliber Fitness Solutions. :D :D
Rarely eat out and if you were to drop by, it would be Grilled Ahi Tuna or Flank Steak with an Asahi.
McDonald's isn't too bad though and if I decide to eat there its usually a Big Mac and a water.
-

That all depends on the fat content. According to McDonald's they use 80/20? Regardless you're paying well over $15 a pound just for the meat. I'm not knocking them as I occasionally go there and get a DQP. That's the only thing that I have ever eaten from there. I think the meat tastes great and is of good quality. I never eat the bun but that's just because I'm not a big fan of bread. No doubt in a pinch it's very convenient to be able to grab a burger when you are on the go.

I get how your calculating this. It's just that you're ignoring part of the picture, namely cooking and condiments.

Free room in board, free food, no bills, you can literally save 99% of what you make here it all depends on your lifestyle and things to do with your free time. I have guys who work for me from India who save almost every dime they make, they pack food when the leave the ship on breaks to go to the beach and whatnot, they never spend money outside the ship unless it's absolutely necessary. Then you got guys who blow their money on things like Jordans, fitted hats, tattoos, jewelry, fast food..and not to be racist but most of them are black guys and side note most of my friends on the ship are black. So it's on you, but this type of lifestyle isn't for everyone, it's mainly attracts people that are free spirited and love to travel and live life in the moment, most of the people that work here go on very big vacations and don't seem to care much about saving for the future. I don't spend much, I do buy a few items here and there at WholeFoods, if I meet a girl I may get a rent a car and go exploring for the day, or rent a hotel room for the night. But for the most part on my breaks I go to the gym and go to the beach which don't cost much money. And to agree with Pellius all the McDonalds I have been to in Hawaii have been very clean and also offer spam with some of their breakfast meals.

LOL! You're a good guy but with such a great, positive, upbeat personality but, man, you can be such an airhead (maybe that's why you're so happy all the time).
The concept of fast food is cheap and convenient. I've already described in agonizing detail how easy and convenient it is for me to get a quick meal right when I come out of the gym. You're talking about something COMPLETELY different: shopping, cooking, cleaning up. Isn't that blindingly obvious?
And, again, I explained very clearly the concept of value. That it's not just the dollar cost. Yes, it's always cheaper to by groceries than to have someone else do it for you and prepare it. Duh?
And how is that cheap? It's cheap compared to other fast food places where, AGAIN, I provided a real-world example and posted the fucking receipt where I only pay $1.00 for a QP with cheese.
And, yes, we all understand that all ground beef, all meat, is weighed before it is cooked and loses weight as the fat cooks out of it.
BTW, four QP with cheese at a dollar each still beats Costco's $4.29/lb uncooked ground beef without the cheese, bun, onions, pickles....
And "small meal" for whom? Maybe to you, but not to me. I'm not a big muscle man. At over six feet 180lbs, I'm much taller and much lighter than you. You're a bber trying to get bigger and bigger and stuff yourself with food. I'm not and just eat two to three meals a day. Forty grams of protein for $4 is good enough and cheap enough for me.
When was the last time you ate out and had to spend dollars out of your pocket?

Lol, I guess if it's convenient for you then go for it, I mean aren't you a semi retired guy? I would assume you have a little bit of free time to just throw some ground beef in a crock pot, turn it on, let it cook, remove it, and rinse it crock pot, maybe takes 10 mins, even less time if you have a Foreman grill. Maybe it's just how I was raised, I always ate home cooked meals, never was a fan of any fast food, any time I've eaten it I've always felt like shit and I like feeling good. If I eat out its at a restaurant and the last time I did that was on Mothers day and I ate Salmon.

LOL! You're projecting. I'm not like you -- young, full of energy and enthusiasm, living and loving life....
I'm lazy. I got tired just reading your post and was already getting winded when it got to "rinse it in the crockpot". I'm more about tapping my order using the McD phone app and walking across the parking lot and picking up my order all ready on a tray then dumping the trash in the can. No cooking or cleaning.

I guess I don't blame you for not reading the whole thread. And this only goes to prove you are not a hardcore McDonald's eater like I am. If you order using their app you can get any of their sandwiches, except for the Signature burgers, for a dollar. So I either get a Big Mac or a QP with cheese but you can get their triple cheeseburgers, filet o fish, chicken sandwiches... all for a dollar.

You can't expect quality for a single Dollar. You have the mindset of a homeless man. No one who cares about his health should eat fake meat and white bread.

I do "case " about my health. What's fake about 100% ground beef? And the quarter pounder with cheese sells for $5. Does suddenly become low quality when they have a dollar promotion? And since when is getting the most value for your money a homeless mindset? Does Trump have a homeless mindset? And what is unhealthy about a burger and fries?

You seem to care more about misspellings than your own health. It's only 100% when you buy meat from a farmer. With all respect, but at your age you should be less naive to believe these claims. Regular cheese shouldn't be part of a healthy diet, and don't let me start about fried foods. Trump never had good taste, nor for foods, nor for women. By referring to him, you're providing a 'poor' example.

We had a local 'Sears' over here, called V&D. I remember visiting that place with a formal girlfriend. Only she was looking for something, so I had the time to observe the whole space. It was a fuckly old building, full of crappy products, like if we were visiting a communist store. No wonder why they went broke after being in business for over 130 years.

I save a lot for sure, I saved even more when I was bartending in my 20's just on the fact that I was working on all the nights my friends were going to nightclubs spending money. Yes I invested $30,000 at the age of 25, I gave to my dad to invest in the market, he is heavily involved in and has knowledge about this world. He invested in stocks like Starbucks, WholeFoods, McDonalds, Coke, Bristol Meyers Squibb. This initial investment in 12 years ago is well over $100,000. Wife and kids will happen in the future dude, I'm not in a rush, just enjoying life, most likely I see it happening in my mid 40's early 50's. I think guys like Clooney and Stamos had a pretty good blueprint on how to go about life (in regards to relationships and marriage).

I had no idea people from India were so thrifty. Don't you have tattoos and sport nice clothes? A person should enjoy some of their hard earned money.
Not all blacks are like this but I have witnessed a lot of my employees work an entire contract 6 months and go home with 3 or 4 thousand dollars, which means they spent a whole lot of there paychecks every week. Then I've seen Filipinno and Indian employees go home with 99% of what they earned, as well as saved every single receipt in which they purchased any item pertaining to their job, so when tax time comes they can write these items off. I enjoy my money mainly through travels, I just found the things I truly enjoy in life don't really cost much money, I love training, any type of physical activity outdoors (hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, running) the beach and warm climates, good food, and women. When it comes to clothes if you have a good build, you can make a V neck t shirt from Target look amazing, also if you go to Thailand you can buy amazing tailored made suits and clothes for very cheap, I've bought 3 custom suits and 3 custom dress shirts for around $250. Not to mention I spend 9 months a year in a uniform for work.

Because blacks have a poor ability of planning ahead. Evolutionary trait I guess. Living in the African continent food was plenty, sturdy shelters, clothes and means for transportation not really needed. So there was no natural selection where the resourceful/cerebral survived or reproduced at a greater extent.

Regular cheese shouldn't be part of a healthy diet, and don't let me start about fried foods. Trump never had good taste, nor for foods, nor for women. By referring to him, you're providing a 'poor' example.
You buy all your meat straight from a farmer? Doesn't all meat come from a farm? Their beef comes from the same place that you get in a grocery store or restaurant. And fried food is bad? Why? Because it's fat? Fat is bad for you? Maybe excess fat. But the same applies to excess carbs and protein. Excess food is probably the biggest health concern in this country. But vegetable oil, unsaturated fat, is bad? I don't think so. I make sure I consume at least two tablespoons of Olive Oil everyday and mix it in all my meals because I want to lower the glycemic index of everything I eat (yes, I am a "Zone" diet fan).
And what makes you think I'm not concerned about my health? In my family, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease seems to get all of us in my family. Out of a family of nine I have thus far been spared any of these symptoms. Everyone else has either had heart attacks or on blood pressure and cholesterol med. Not me. I pay very close attention to what I eat. Beef isn't fake meat. Hot dogs, balogna... all process meats I stay away from. I also avoid refined sugar like the plague. Haven't drank a soft drink in years or touched alcohol in decades.
But of course the proof is in the pudding. I keep in go shape and lean enough to have visible abs year round. I also get a blood test every 3-4 months as part of my HRT regime and my lipid profile is on point. I get one this Monday. In addition, I check my blood pressure twice a day. Three times if convenient. This is the biggest risk marker for me so I'm on top of that and take supplements that does help (hint: cialis twice a week. Stimulates nitrix oxide and brought my blood pressure down a bit).
It's near noon here in Hawaii and I just took my blood pressure and also a snap shot of my lip profile take in April. Nothing has changed much if any over the years. You would think that at near 60 years old all the abuse you claim I have given my body would have shown up by now. (This, btw, has nothing to do with sport injuries which is a different issue all together and nothing to do with diet).
Now what about you? When was the last time you got a blood test and how did that go? Lets see a RECENT pic your abs so we can determine your body composition. Just like that guy lecturing about the evils of McDonald's there was nothing about him, with his belly spilling over his belt, that would indicate superior health and fitness.

I had no idea people from India were so thrifty. Don't you have tattoos and sport nice clothes? A person should enjoy some of their hard earned money.
I'm always given a hard time because I won't touch SPAM. No fake meat for me.

Canola oil, which is what they use, is toxic? How?
Dude its a GMO Vegetable Oil
Dangers of Canola Oil
1. Kidney and Liver Problems
The majority of canola oil produced today is genetically modified. The side effects of GMOs in general cannot be overstated.
In a 2011 review published in Environmental Sciences Europe, 19 studies of mammals fed GMO soybeans and corn were evaluated. The 90-day trials indicated liver and kidney problems as a result of GMO foods. The kidney and liver findings actually were differentiated by sex with the kidneys being disrupted by 43.5 percent in male mammals and the liver being disrupted in female mammals by 30.8 percent. (6)
The kidneys and the liver are absolutely vital to our existence so ingesting a genetically modified food like canola oil is really not something to take lightly.
2. Life-Threatening Heart Trouble
As a monounsaturated oil, rapeseed oil has high levels of erucic acid. Erucic acid is a fatty acid that’s associated with heart damage, specifically Keshan disease, a disease that manifests itself with fibrotic lesions of the heart. Studies have shown that in areas where people are prone to Keshan, not only are selenium levels lower, but eurucic acid levels are higher. (7)
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils like canola are also known for causing inflammation and calcification of arteries, which are well-established risk factors for coronary heart disease. (8)
3. Hypertension and Strokes
Previous studies have shown that the consumption of rapeseed oil and some other types of vegetable oils shortens the life span of stroke-prone and hypertensive animal subjects. Specifically, research carried out at the Nutrition and Toxicology Research Divisions of Ottawa discovered that rats bred to have high blood pressure and proneness to stroke died sooner when fed canola oil as the sole source of fat. Additionally, the rats fed the non-canola oil-based diets lived longer than the rats fed canola oil. (9)
Another study published in 2000 in Toxicology Letters specifically looked at the effects of canola oil on blood coagulation time or how long it takes blood to clot in stroke-prone animal subjects. The study found that there was a “canola oil-induced shortening of blood coagulation time and increased fragility in [red blood cell membranes],” which may promote the occurrence of strokes in animal subjects that are stroke-prone. (10)
4. May Retard Normal Growth
Up until recently, it was not legal to use canola oil in infant formulate. There have been what I think are valid concerns about canola oil retarding growth in children. Specifically, the euroric acid in canola oil is harmful to infants due to an inability to properly break it down. The FDA previously made the use of canola oil illegal in baby formula. However, as of a few years ago, canola oil made it to the generally recognized as safe list. (11)
Not only is it highly concerning to feed developing infants a GMO oil, but it’s also highly questionable to give them unhealthy fats. Proponents brag about canola’s overall healthy fat profile, but I don’t buy it. Now it’s being sold in the form of a baby’s first meal. Of course, I highly encourage skipping the commercial formulas and opting for breastfeeding or, if necessary, homemade baby formula.
5. Increases Intake of Unhealthy Trans Fats
According to a study published in the Journal of Food Lipids, when soybean and canola oils purchased in the U.S. were evaluated, “The trans contents were between 0.56% and 4.2% of the total fatty acids.” (12)
When canola oil undergoes hydrogenation, which it often does to become a partially hydrogenated oil, this increases its level of trans fats. These are a group of fats you want to avoid as much as possible since they’re scientifically known to increase LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol.
When you read “partially hydrogenated oil” on any food label, that guarantees there is some amount of trans fat present. This is true even when the label tells you that there is zero trans fat. How can that be? Well, if a serving contains less than 0.5 grams, the company is allowed to indicate there are no trans fats. Frustrating, I know. (13)
Trans fatty acids are hazardous byproducts of food processing and are truly health destroyers. In fact, if you decide to get rid of your canola oil, I would also stop cooking with these oils as well: corn oil, safflower oil, soy oil and vegetable oil.
6. Numerous Potential GMO Health Side Effects
I already mentioned the link between GMOs and negative liver and kidney implications, but it doesn’t stop there. According to the Center for Food Safety, there are several new and very serious health concerns and unexpected effects of genetic engineering unearthed by scientific research: (14)
Toxicity
Allergic reactions
Immuno-suppression
Cancer
Loss of nutrition

Because blacks have a poor ability of planning ahead. Evolutionary trait I guess. Living in the African continent food was plenty, sturdy shelters, clothes and means for transportation not really needed. So there was no natural selection where the resourceful/cerebral survived or reproduced at a greater extent.
Are you speaking of Africa during a previous era? I thought that today a lot of Africans were starving, dieing of various diseases not common in 1st world countries, living in huts and where clothing is not needed, optional and scarce. Transportation isn't an issue because there's no place to go within the continent that's much better off. Perhaps Africans are poor at planning ahead because they see no future in their lives.

Mecury! Mecury! You're all going to die of mercury poisoning!
There's too much information about food and health these days. When I was a kid, most people had no idea about food contaminants. And guess what, obesity was not as common. Most people were somewhat more active. Eating out was a treat and not the mainstay source of a meal.
Many people believe that the more they know about what's healthy and what's not and the more knowledge they have about diseases, prevention and new treatments, the better off they'll be. If this were so, than generally speaking, why are more people afflicted with something? IMO, commonsense gets lost in a sea of information and misinformation. I suspect hypochondria is more common today, so people who aren't even sick, imagine that they are. Negative thinking produces negative results. Positive thinking results in positive experiences.

Oh boy, so this is what it's come to.
All of life is a matter of degrees. You can find data on anything and find why it's bad for you. Broccoli contains arsenic. Do we now have to avoid broccoli? In my mid-20s, when I was more hardcore, I went through a year where all I ate for protein was fish. Canned tuna, Ahi, Swordfish... whatever. Eventually, I started to feel like crap. Always sluggish and nauseous. Turns out I was getting mercury poisoning. So then I turned to Tilapia and read how most of that fish is raised in a virtual cesspool of feces. So is Goodrum slowly killing himself because he eats Ahi regularly?
Then there's the supposed problems with too many eggs. I read where fruit, because it's primarily fructose, needs to be limited. Doesn't everything have to be limited? Including food itself? Are health and safety the primary concern above all else? Are you telling me that the reason you work out so hard and push yourself to your limits, and beyond, in the gym is because you want to be more healthy? You wouldn't be just as healthy, if not more healthy, if you had a more moderate routine? No, you do what you do not because it's healthy but because you want to look better. You want to look jacked. You will compromise your health purely for vanity. That can demonstrably be proven.
The one thing that has been proven beyond a doubt that will extend a person's lifespan is to cut calories. That just eating considerable less will make you more healthy and increase lifespan. Do you do that? No, you force feed yourself. Stuff yourself eating far more than you need to because you want to get bigger because you believe it will make you look better. Even if it didn't extend your life, force-feeding always makes you feel like crap; and being bigger, having bigger muscles, is just an added burden to your heart. But you do it for looks. And then there's your steroid use and the sunbathing/tanning salon neither which is doing your body any favors. But you do it to improve your looks. Physical appearance is one of the main things that define yourself and your self-image and you will do what it takes, even compromise your health, to get the look you want. You want to look impressive and win trophies and medals because of how your body looks. I get it. Being a competitive physique competitor is a huge sacrifice. But spare me the google copy and paste about the evils of the canola oil, maybe a teaspoon's worth in a small order of fries, and how I will die from it.
Again, the proof is in the pudding. I have blood pressure readings, regular blood tests, body composition
feedback.
I just got back from the gym and McDonald's. Although I do a full body workout I added some extra leg work today. Traffic was a bit congested and some bastard just cut right in front of me. But I'm home now and I'm pleasantly fatigued but my blood pressure is still on point; heart rate a tad high for me but still well within specs, and legs feel like rubber. After decades of eating McD's fries and nearly 60 years old, I'm still waiting for all those dire warnings you gave me to kick in.

Also, it helps to put things in perspective. All these men are younger than I am. Also, in the last picture the guy seated to my right is two years younger than I am.

I will admit that I did tempt fate tonight. Because I did some extra leg work I decided to indulge myself and added the bacon McDouble to my QP with cheese instead of just a plain hamburger.
As that great 20 century thinker, Tom Cruise, said in the movie, "Risky Business", sometimes you just have to say "what the fuck."
Yeah, I pushed the envelop tonight.
You have to admit. They do present it nicely. That's the sterile hand wipe over on the top right corner.

Here it is after I ditch the buns on the McDouble and pile on the meat on the QP.

I almost forgot the best part. Fifty five grams of juicy protein for five bucks.
What a great country and the wonders of Capitalism!
God Bless America!
MAGA!

You buy all your meat straight from a farmer? Doesn't all meat come from a farm? Their beef comes from the same place that you get in a grocery store or restaurant. And fried food is bad? Why? Because it's fat? Fat is bad for you? Maybe excess fat. But the same applies to excess carbs and protein. Excess food is probably the biggest health concern in this country. But vegetable oil, unsaturated fat, is bad? I don't think so. I make sure I consume at least two tablespoons of Olive Oil everyday and mix it in all my meals because I want to lower the glycemic index of everything I eat (yes, I am a "Zone" diet fan).
And what makes you think I'm not concerned about my health? In my family, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease seems to get all of us in my family. Out of a family of nine I have thus far been spared any of these symptoms. Everyone else has either had heart attacks or on blood pressure and cholesterol med. Not me. I pay very close attention to what I eat. Beef isn't fake meat. Hot dogs, balogna... all process meats I stay away from. I also avoid refined sugar like the plague. Haven't drank a soft drink in years or touched alcohol in decades.
But of course the proof is in the pudding. I keep in go shape and lean enough to have visible abs year round. I also get a blood test every 3-4 months as part of my HRT regime and my lipid profile is on point. I get one this Monday. In addition, I check my blood pressure twice a day. Three times if convenient. This is the biggest risk marker for me so I'm on top of that and take supplements that does help (hint: cialis twice a week. Stimulates nitrix oxide and brought my blood pressure down a bit).
It's near noon here in Hawaii and I just took my blood pressure and also a snap shot of my lip profile take in April. Nothing has changed much if any over the years. You would think that at near 60 years old all the abuse you claim I have given my body would have shown up by now. (This, btw, has nothing to do with sport injuries which is a different issue all together and nothing to do with diet).
Now what about you? When was the last time you got a blood test and how did that go? Lets see a RECENT pic your abs so we can determine your body composition. Just like that guy lecturing about the evils of McDonald's there was nothing about him, with his belly spilling over his belt, that would indicate superior health and fitness.
I almost was going to say "meltdown!", but then I was acting as immature as you do ::)
A couple of things...
- You're clearly a fan of MD and seem to defend and promote them as if it's your company. Hey, we get it, you like their food and there's nothing wrong with your personal preference.
- MD 'meat' has been processed with a lot of chemicals, not just salt. There are undercover documentaries to proof this.
- Stating that fried food isn't bad is a ridiculous statement. I'm not saying that all fat is bad, but you're actually eating 'dead food'.
- It's quite silly and immature to ask for pictures, my blood measurement, etc because I call you out on your junk food habits. It just shows me how sensitive and stubborn you are...

No, it shows how wrong and uninformed you are and brain washed into this concept of junk food and now this notion of fried food being "dead" food. So if I bake a potato it's alive but if I fry it dies. OK.
Again, the proof is in the pudding. I'm older than you but I am healthier and in better shape than you are. If I'm wrong, prove it. Lets see what your blood pressure and heart rate is. Your lipid profile. Your body composition. I've proved I'm doing fine from eating "dead" food and not having to drive to a farm to buy my beef. Think of that when you look in the mirror and see that belt of flab on your belly that you can't get rid of.
It cracks me up how offended people get when I tell them I like eating at McDonald's and therefore I am a shill for Mcds and "promote" them. When have I told anybody that they should eat at McDonald's? Like I said, I don't even think they have the best food. I prefer BK, Jack-in-the-Box and Taco Bell food wise but it's the total package of price, convenience, cleanness, service, and those free sterile hand wipes.

If there's is one person in this 'debate' who is offended, then it's clearly YOU with your sea of words and asking for 'prove' ::) Heck, I don't care about your eating habits, but I was just calling you out for defending a junk food companies as if it's you're their CEO. You like their food, I get it. You don't consume too many calories, I also get that, but the health claims regarding their foods is just plain pathetic.

Actually, no. It was you who criticized and attacked me. I was just defending myself. I never made any health claims about their food. You just made that up. A common tactic of someone who has no argument.
The difference between you and me is that I think and reason and ask and question if it makes sense. Food is compose of just three micro-nutrients and it has no idea where it came from. You just blindly follow the current trend. Are you still in the "egg yolks are bad" camp? I can tell you exactly what a bad diet is and foods to avoid and what will happen to you, and everybody, that follows it with real world -- real life examples. You can lecture me all you want about fried food being dead food but not really tell me what that is and what happens to your body if you eat a lot of fried food and show a direct causation. I can. Further more, any claims you make about the evils of fried food I can disprove with myself. I love fried food. When I'm not eating at McDonald's which I do just twice a week when I go to the gym because of convenience, I am eating plate lunches virtually everyday; and my favorite, which I'm sure Go4it is very familiar with and studiously avoids, is Chicken Katsu. Breaded chicken slices deep fried and serve with Katsu sauce (a type of barbeque sauce). Couple that with the thousands of bags of French fries that I have consumed for decades. When I go to KFC I always get the extra crispy. Deep fried at its best. At Taco Bell I get that deep fried Chalupa thingy. Not a day goes by when I don't eat some kind of food that has been deep fried. All that dead food, and the ambiguous term "junk food" yet I'm pretty sure my lipid profile are better than yours, my blood pressure is consistently lower than yours, and I have less body fat than you do.
Now all of that would change in a matter of months, and it has, if I break a few simple (but not always easy) dietary rules that has adversely effected me, as it would you, as it would most everyone. And if those months turn into years then an early agonizing death is assured. And I see it everywhere, all around me. And all because of a bad diet.
And, I know, you will reply with the over use term "meltdown" which use to mean an angry post but now just means anything over three sentences. A reflection of the zero attention span of generation nothingness.

"It was you who criticized and attacked me."
There's a fundamental difference between criticizing and attacking someone's point of view and someone as a person. I feel bad for you that you're unable to make that distinction, but I won't lose sleep over it :D
Case closed and MD food is still crap

You can't expect quality for a single Dollar. You have the mindset of a homeless man. No one who cares about his health should eat fake meat and white bread.
I think like a "homeless man"? I don't care about my health?
You talking to me?
Yet I'm still healthier and in better shape than you are and can think and reason for myself -- and back up and prove my claims instead of just blindly following the ever-changing trends and fads of the day. But at least you didn't expound on the wonders of "organic". Lol!

Hmmm i might just go to Burger King later. Have not been for a while. It´s the only time i drink cola too. However first i will Train chest & biceps. Then i will cycle to Burger king & get a Double wopper Thing,fries,cola. will i feel bad? like fuck i will

I mean it's great you have veins in your legs, but I confused how this has anything to do with Canola oil being a GMO Vegetable oil that is a contains transfat. Props for being in shape and if you enjoy McDonalds it's your life dude, but you can't deny the fact that the oil is toxic, and if they used lard (which they used to in the past) the meal would be even better. I'm glad that my ship uses lard for the standard oil, unless we are talking about our specialty restaurants were they use extra virgin olive oil, which again actually isn't that great to cook with.

one of pellius' points, which I agree with, is that you get a lot of food and protein for how little mcdonalds costs. Few people on Getbig are professional athletes, and a little low quality cooking oil isn't going to damage your body much, even though I understand it is not optimum quality.

It has nothing to do with being a professional athlete, put it this way, if you have a Ferrari would you put low octane gas in to it? Again it's your life do what you want to with it, is it cheap? Sure, but again you can buy a pound of 80/20 fresh ground beef for around $4.00. I just have a different outlook on nutrition I guess.

It has nothing to do with being a professional athlete, put it this way, if you have a Ferrari would you put low octane gas in to it? Again it's your life do what you want to with it, is it cheap? Sure, but again you can buy a pound of 80/20 fresh ground beef for around $4.00. I just have a different outlook on nutrition I guess.

I agree with a lot of what you say, and I just also enjoy the occasional junk food (taste wise). I generally feel better, and more energetic, when I eat healthy, but I want to pig out once in a while. I will not be 90 years old, on my death bed, thinking back on 90 years of chicken breast and broccoli.
In overall terms, most of my food is clean and healthy, but I am not going to completely cut out junk food, even though I know it is a healthier choice.
by the way, do you ever have cheat meals or junk food?

I just don't look at food that way, the last thing on my mind on my death bed looking back is I wish I ate more McDonalds or Crispy Crème, I enjoy meat I always have and I've always felt strong and powerful whenever I eat red meat -beef/steak. I've always felt like shit anytime I eat any junk cereal, fast food, ice cream, pizza...I don't like feeling like shit, so I don't eat it, what I guess you can consider my cheat is booze, I enjoy going to bars/clubs/restaurants so I will drink, but I get drunk super fast so it only takes a few for me to get a good buzz, I like Tequila, Vodka, Scotch, Bourbon, just on the rocks.

Man, don't be so butt hurt, it might fuck up your estrogen levels ::)

Pellius, do you eat that meal without drinking?
I have to admit, I sometimes bring my own water to McD to save a few bucks. :D
I'm always drinking water. It's really my favorite drink. Ice, ice cold water. McDonald's, God bless them, provides free filtered water and ice. Pisses me off when I see kids (there's a high school right across the street) get the free drinking cups and fill it up with sodas.
If there's one thing people can do to help with their weight and health is just cut out the sodas. I wonder how many sodas the healthy DP has had in the last year compare to me (which is zero).
-
There is more crap in this thread than at fast food outlets.
Pellius is right and I support what he posts here.
Most bodybuilders do not think independently.
You mean don't think -- period. I'm still waiting for DP to explain why fried food is "dead" food and what makes other cooked food alive.

Took myself to McDonald's this morning for a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit meal with a medium coffee. I think it cost $5.39 because I up-sized the coffee. It's a cheat meal that I indulge in occasionally.

I mean it's great you have veins in your legs, but I confused how this has anything to do with Canola oil being a GMO Vegetable oil that is a contains transfat. Props for being in shape and if you enjoy McDonalds it's your life dude, but you can't deny the fact that the oil is toxic, and if they used lard (which they used to in the past) the meal would be even better. I'm glad that my ship uses lard for the standard oil, unless we are talking about our specialty restaurants were they use extra virgin olive oil, which again actually isn't that great to cook with.
Actually, I do deny that canola oil is toxic? There are some who call it the healthiest oil in the world. It's approved by the FDA and they just don't sign off on anything. The reason they use canola oil and other vegetable is because of how bad lard (pig fat) is/was because it's pure saturated fat. Now you're saying lard is good. Great. I hope it comes back. Then maybe french fries will be back to being as good as they were back in the old days.
Anyway, I tell you what G4it, because I like you, and as kind of a tribute to you and that I do pay attention to what you say as you practice what you preach and have the results to prove it. I will no longer buy Safeway's butter/canola oil spread and just go with pure butter. I really only buy it because it's always on sale but I'll cough up the extra few shekels for the pure butter.
I promise this will be my last one.

pellius, what are your meals at home typically?
I usually just eat two meals a day. Lunch and dinner. On the days I go to the gym I'll have breakfast about two hours before training. So yesterday I had an apple and oatmeal (I add raisins and peanuts) with a whey protein (30 grams) drink mix in water and olive oil. Then I feasted post workout on the QP with cheese spike with the extra patties of beef and cheese along with a bag of fries. About 12:30 AM (I'm a night owl) I had six eggs scrambled mixed with chopped tomatoes and onions throwing some extra packets of taco sauce I got from Taco Bell before hitting the sack.
On the other five non training days I eat usually get a plate lunch of Chicken Katsu or Mochilko Chicken, which is very similar to Chicken Katsu in that it's chunks of chicken breaded and deep fried (you know, dead food).
Regular plate lunches also come with two scoops of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. I always order the mini which comes with just one scoop of rice. For dinner, it's usually whatever ever the Frau has cooked up and she is very health conscious and it's a variety of stuff having to do with chicken breast or fish. There is some left over Salmon that I will have tonight with whatever salad she's concocted.

Fake news. Not by CNN but by you. It says nothing about banning canola oil and it is not considered a transfat. It mentions specifically that McDonald's stopped using that kind of fat over a decade ago. They switch to the oil they are using now specifically because they wanted to stop the use of trans fats (which I am all for).

All food is what you make of it, that is, how you use it. If you exercise it's put to good use in the building of muscle and strength. But ultimately, it all makes the same thing.
A turd.

Yes, McDonald's restaurants are everywhere so they make an excellent pit stop.

I save a lot for sure, I saved even more when I was bartending in my 20's just on the fact that I was working on all the nights my friends were going to nightclubs spending money. Yes I invested $30,000 at the age of 25, I gave to my dad to invest in the market, he is heavily involved in and has knowledge about this world. He invested in stocks like Starbucks, WholeFoods, McDonalds, Coke, Bristol Meyers Squibb. This initial investment in 12 years ago is well over $100,000. Wife and kids will happen in the future dude, I'm not in a rush, just enjoying life, most likely I see it happening in my mid 40's early 50's. I think guys like Clooney and Stamos had a pretty good blueprint on how to go about life (in regards to relationships and marriage).
You are living a great life bro. Keep at it!

Too late....I'm gonna be 74 next month. ;D Who knows when I'll croak. Until I do, I'm gonna occasionally enjoy that one or half of one piece of bacon, with mystery cheese and a folded whole egg on a carbohydrate rich biscuit, accompanied by a grease laden hash-brown potato patty and a cup of java. Who knows maybe I say my final goodbyes while at the local McDonnald's. I'll be in good company, since it seems to be a senior hangout at breakfast time. ;D ;D ;D

At least here in Hawaii, when you get your receipt and do their survey online or on your phone you get a buy one get one free QP with cheese. They've had this deal for years. So essentially you can get a free QP with cheese indefinitely as long as you do their survy. I use to do it until the $1 deals have been running for the last six months.
Anyway, there's this old couple that I see practically every time I go to McDonald's and that's what they do I'm sure. They get the two QPs, fill their water cups, and dine like they are on a date at some restaurant. When I look at them I think it's kind of touching and charming but, in another sense, I feel bad for them. I'm pretty sure they do this because that's all they can afford. I mean, I don't see too many 85-year-old grannies eating a QP with cheese. She barely eats half of it. And I'm sure the guy would rather have a bit more variety as well. I should hook them up with the app because the $1 deal applies to all their sandwiches and burgers except the Signature ones. The granny looks more like a Filet-O-Fish type. But I notice that he has a flip-top phone. Anyway, kind of sucks to be at that stage of life and scrapping it.

You should really just ignore these morons that see "gimmick" in everything. Remember BeingThere saw a Joon gimmick in everything. I mean, both of us have been here for years posting pic throughout those years, even pics of our houses. I never got this whole gimmick obsession that some have here. To read every post and try to figure out if it's someone else.

Hawaiians and Spam are like peas in a pod. Blacks and young people have a reputation for letting money 'burn a hole' in their pockets. -Wonder why this is so? I had no idea people from India were so thrifty. Don't you have tattoos and sport nice clothes? A person should enjoy some of their hard earned money.
Those people from India will save every nickel they can get and buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise. After a couple years they'll buy another along with a dry cleaners. Then a couple motels. They'll end up millionaires.

That's an old article. Since that time trans fats have been almost completely eliminated from foods in the USA. Almost.
Canola oil comes in both partially-hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated forms. Buy only the non-hydrogenated.
Better yet use extra virgin or virgin olive oil.
Buy only non-hydrogenated peanut butter.

Oh boy, so this is what it's come to.
All of life is a matter of degrees. You can find data on anything and find why it's bad for you. Broccoli contains arsenic. Do we now have to avoid broccoli? In my mid-20s, when I was more hardcore, I went through a year where all I ate for protein was fish. Canned tuna, Ahi, Swordfish... whatever. Eventually, I started to feel like crap. Always sluggish and nauseous. Turns out I was getting mercury poisoning. So then I turned to Tilapia and read how most of that fish is raised in a virtual cesspool of feces. So is Goodrum slowly killing himself because he eats Ahi regularly?
Then there's the supposed problems with too many eggs. I read where fruit, because it's primarily fructose, needs to be limited. Doesn't everything have to be limited? Including food itself? Are health and safety the primary concern above all else? Are you telling me that the reason you work out so hard and push yourself to your limits, and beyond, in the gym is because you want to be more healthy? You wouldn't be just as healthy, if not more healthy, if you had a more moderate routine? No, you do what you do not because it's healthy but because you want to look better. You want to look jacked. You will compromise your health purely for vanity. That can demonstrably be proven.
The one thing that has been proven beyond a doubt that will extend a person's lifespan is to cut calories. That just eating considerable less will make you more healthy and increase lifespan. Do you do that? No, you force feed yourself. Stuff yourself eating far more than you need to because you want to get bigger because you believe it will make you look better. Even if it didn't extend your life, force-feeding always makes you feel like crap; and being bigger, having bigger muscles, is just an added burden to your heart. But you do it for looks. And then there's your steroid use and the sunbathing/tanning salon neither which is doing your body any favors. But you do it to improve your looks. Physical appearance is one of the main things that define yourself and your self-image and you will do what it takes, even compromise your health, to get the look you want. You want to look impressive and win trophies and medals because of how your body looks. I get it. Being a competitive physique competitor is a huge sacrifice. But spare me the google copy and paste about the evils of the canola oil, maybe a teaspoon's worth in a small order of fries, and how I will die from it.
Again, the proof is in the pudding. I have blood pressure readings, regular blood tests, body composition
feedback.
I just got back from the gym and McDonald's. Although I do a full body workout I added some extra leg work today. Traffic was a bit congested and some bastard just cut right in front of me. But I'm home now and I'm pleasantly fatigued but my blood pressure is still on point; heart rate a tad high for me but still well within specs, and legs feel like rubber. After decades of eating McD's fries and nearly 60 years old, I'm still waiting for all those dire warnings you gave me to kick in.
very strong post brother

BTW, I don't want to give the impression I'm some kind of McDs junkie. It's not my first choice. It just wins out mostly because it's convenient. I only go there twice a week when I go to the gym because it's right there. I can get in a quick meal post workout and then I'm refueled to run some errands. And, most importantly, I can take full advantage of the 30 minute anabolic window. If I run my errands and then go home and cook you're talking maybe two hours post workout. I'm sure we can all agree that at that stage I am in a dangerously catabolic state.
Anyway, I'm mostly a plate lunch guy and that's what I go for on the other days -- like today.
Chicken Katsu, rice, sliced cucumbers, potatoes and bbq sauce. Dead food at it's best.

BTW, I just ate half the rice. Not because of any dietary restrictions. I was just too full to eat anymore.

Loved Manapua. Operative word "lovED". I was just talking about this the other day at work that you just can't find good manapua anymore. Back in the day, it used to full of the char siu pork filling. Now it's barely a teaspoon. All bread.
They're out there, though. Somewhere. Someplace. Some little hole in the wall that still does things old school. One day I'm going to find it.

I believe that's on Kauai'i. Kind of out of my driving distance. Besides, I'm not going anywhere near you on the beach. When it comes to the beach I like to hang with guys that look more like chaos or shizzo.
I can't really up my game much so I try to lower my competition. You're way out of my league in every aspect.

Leg night (quads) nearly killed my ass and my quads. The days later, and I am still sore. Worked arms last night. They don't feel too bad today. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Good for you Prime! Still killing it at an age when people start dying.

The last Patti's Kitchen closed about 8 years ago. Their lease wasn't renewed and the owner wanted to lease it out to another food chain that offered more $$.

I have some pretty good lunch wagons down the street where I live so I hit that too.
Couple weeks ago we had a big feast where instead of Kalua pig which has to be buried underground and you can only do one at a time this was done over an open flame and because it was going to be for a huge crowd (members of the church from all over) we had to do a bunch of pigs at a time. Fortunately, there's a pig farm in the area so that will make DP happy. And when it comes to roasting pigs, the Samoans and Hawaiians know what they are doing.
Excuse the tattered landscape but I don't live in an area with manicured lawns.

I do ok, but I don't pull dime pieces, I have no patience for high maintanence type of chicks, I'd rather hook up with girls in the 6-8 range, it's easier, less drama, less work, and lots of these types on my ship good for hooking up with/hanging out with but nothing I would bring home to a family party.

Not a burger fan but maybe once a month I'll get to the head of a very long line and order, "Double, Double, Protein, Cheeseburger with onions and those fries with all the stuff on top (it's supposed to be a secret, so no one can recall the name of those fries with all the stuff on top), and a small diet soda ... Oh yea! And not to go!"
Then I hand over a ten and get two bucks back and some change.
Name this place!
But my favorite sandwich place is a joint called ZUPPA's (?). Great salads, great soups, and even greater sandwiches, but you don't get any change when you hand over the ten.
They simply say, "$3 more please!"
But you do get a choclate covered strawberry with every meal.
I don't think they're in any town or island on which you live.
Pellius, Go4 ..... Is Rainbow Drive Inn still open for business?
And are there still any sushi houses where you can choose you sushi while it passes you on little boats or little trains ..... and they figure your final suchoi bill bu the color of your stacked up plates?
I ate lots of sushi but my bill never exceeded $9.00.
Those most likey were the 'good old days!'

Rainbow's is still around. Don't hit the sushi places.

Took myself out to Biscuits. It's open for breakfast and lunch only. I ordered 1 biscuit with sausage gravy, two basted eggs, two sausage patties and coffee. Not the healthiest, but it sure tasted good and I didn't have to fix it.

The plastic cheese is what kills you.
Velveeta and American slices In 2002 the FDA became aware that the ingredients of Velveeta didn't contain any actual cheese.
"Because its manufacturing process differs from "unprocessed"/raw/natural cheeses, American cheese cannot be legally sold under the name "cheese" in the US. Instead, federal (and even some state) laws mandate that it be labeled as "processed cheese" if simply made from combining more than one cheese, or "cheese food" if dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, skim milk, buttermilk, cheese whey, or albumin from cheese whey are added. As a result, sometimes even the word "cheese" is absent altogether from the product's labeling in favor of, e.g., "American slices" or "American singles".
Burgerville (an Oregon company) sells Tillamook cheese burgers made with real Cheddar cheese.

Been doing Mediterranean type diet these days, feeling good. Its funny when you clean up your diet, just looking at a McDonalds ad makes you want to puke.
Couple months ago I was going there once a week. When we go out twice a week on weekends, its Asian food mainly, can get clean food and a good Mai Tai...

Vince. The fact is you achieved a title of Mr. Canada. That's pretty cool. Whether there were 10 judges, 3 judges, you knew the judges or the competition was lacking is irrelevant. You are Mr. Canada. 1970. Very few of the posters here of the 45000 members, less than 1% can claim winning a title.
You were involved in some of the early, best competitions, at least attending them and mingled with some of the greats. Less than 1% can claim that. Just remember that.

Went with the grilled Artesian Chicken sandwich yesterday instead of the QP with cheese. The dollar price is still going. That and small fries were enough because the chicken sand has almost
40 grams of protein so I didn't have to spike it with an extra piece of meat like I do with the DP.
So all told it cost me less than $3.
Can't beat that.

Vince Basile and The Fixing of The 1970 Mr. Canada -
--------------------------------------
Vince Basile explains that it was a shitty contest -
"Melvin and Bob are on a mission to dismiss me any way they can. So they cling to the notion that I won Mr Canada because I was the only competitor. What a load of rubbish. What is true is because it was held in Vancouver for the first time only one competitor from Quebec represented Eastern Canada. No one was from Toronto. So, yes, it was a much depleted lineup but you can win only if you show up. Very few BC guys enterred early Mr Canada contests because of the distance to Quebec where they were usually held because Ben Weider lived there.
Walter Milner and John Mikl who placed 4th and 5th went on to win Mr Canada later on. Philippe Alfani from Montreal came 3rd and Ken Rivard from Vancouver was 2nd. There were 13 judges including Chuck Sipes. I got 8 out of the 13 votes for first so Ken could easily have won that day. I won best poser and best legs and Ken won best arms, back and chest. Walter won best abs and most muscular. We called him cuts in those days. He was from Moosehorn, Manitoba. He died from a fall as a window cleaner. What a great guy he was. There was also a Mr Pacific Northwest Contest that day for people from Alaska, BC, Washington and Oregon. We didn't get many competing so I won that easily. That was a good day for me. You can only imagine the envy that hapless Melvin Goodrum has for anyone who won a national title. Since I bag him regularly on Getbig he is keen to retaliate so questions my victory and suggests I was a heavy drug user. Ha. Even Bob doubts that I took as little as I did. What the hell would that stooge know? Guys like him think they know everything but end up stooges for others who really run bodybuilding. I wouldn't let him sell tickets for a chook raffle in a pub!"
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=313320.25 .
-------------------------------------
Vince picked the judges -
"I picked 15 judges but 13 were there. Ken Rivard got 5 and I got 8 first place votes. I picked intelligent, independent, experienced and unbiased people. Chuck Sipes picked me which I felt good about. It was a close contest and I was surprised that I won."
Post 21 here -
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=349068.0 .
--------------------------------------
Vince admits Chuck Sipes was a (paid?) guest poser -
Post 60 -
"Chuck Sipes was the guest poser. He also put on a strongman display where he bent a steel spike and a steel bar. He had the announcer read out some hype while he was doing his feats. He bent a 6 inch nail by wrapping a small towel around it. Then presto, one bend and it was U-shaped. He then tossed the spike to the audience where it was passed around. Several of us went out and bought steel nails to see how we could go. The 6 inch nail was fairly easy but in fairness to Chuck, he bent it much quicker than any of us. I was able to bend a 7 inch nail after some practice"
Vince had a bone to pick with the second place winner -
Post 69 - "Ken Rivard was a loner. I don't know his background but I used to hang around English Bay Beach in Vancouver and Ken was there occasionally. I knew him from the gym so we were mates. Somehow he turned on me before the Mr Canada and acted rather cocky and ruthless. I would have helped him with his posing but he dismissed me. Things like that got to me and inside I wanted to show him."
Vince was Ray Beck's (contest promoter's) right hand man -
Post 65 -
"Here is the article published in Muscle Builder around 1970. Bob should shake his sorry head but I guess his toupee might fall off! LOL. What does he know about bodybuilding history?
Ray Beck didn't write that article but I did. I put Ray's name there so I wouldn't sound like a big head. I wasn't paid for the article or the photos which cost me something."
Post 77 -
"Ray Beck didn't have much money to promote the contest properly and I think he lost money on the show. Heck, he had to pay the IFBB a big fee, in those days, just to stage the contest. Roz and I helped Ray with the contest and I was working for Ray at the time in one of his gyms. Would you believe he asked me to select the judges! That wasn't easy. I had to find guys who were independent, honest and who had integrity. I picked two guys I knew well."

Not really. They need them to prepare the food; hell, even with the new phone app you still need someone from the kitchen to bring it to your car, I'm assuming.
The only cuts have been to order counter staff where instead of 6 girls taking orders now you have 1, max 2 for big locations, and the self-serve touch screen order screens instead. I like that system a lot more than waiting in line for both my order and pickup and there's rarely the same degree of mistakes as with the drivethru or order counter.
McDonald's is still one of those few places where kitchen staff don't wear gloves like at Subway or Jimmy Johns, which seems kind of outdated yet they don't allow beards or jewelry on their staff.

Those are jobs

Those are jobs
Technology has advanced past the point where we need 6 people to do what 1 can do with the help of machines. If they want to work cashier somewhere else, most retail stores are still hiring year-round; otherwise, they can always go back to some kind of learning environment and develop some kind of skill that involves more than taking orders. There's a lot of well-paid easy jobs that are available with as little as 2 years of community college, mostly technician or assistant roles that are perfect for women since they don't require mental or physical effort.

I knew that. ;) Someone's gotta have some fun around here. Getbig gets too serious at times....what with all the political and homophobic remarks/posturing. So, thanks for noticing me having some fun with words.

So I go into McDonald's for my twice weekly feeding. Like the last time, I'm switched over to the Artesian Grilled Chicken sandwich and fries. It was crowded and the manager was also doing cashier duties and everyone around her is seeking her attention. She takes my order while another employee is asking her some question. Anyway, she gives
me my receipt and order number and thanks me with all due patience and courtesy.
While waiting at the counter I notice my order only cost $1.77. She just had the fries on the order and completely left out the sandwich. I leaned over, and while she was still at the cashier, I told her my order was wrong and she left out the sandwich. After taking care of the customer she was with she took my receipt and started tapping on the register. I took out a couple of bucks (the one dollar special also applies to the near $5 chicken sandwich). She then told me, "No charge. It was my mistake," and graciously apologize again.
This is typical of McDonald's in my experience. Very consumer friendly. Like I said before, they may not have the best food but taken in totality: price, service, and convenience, I really think it's still king of the fast food industry.

Good ice cream is not junk food. Check the ingredients on the Häagen-Daz and McConnell's labels; Milk, egg yokes, cream, sugar plus flavoring. My preference is coffee ice cream which has coffee and McConnell's adds crushed espresso beans. Basically good ice-cream is churned, frozen custard; made the same as homemade. Peach ice cream is delicious when made with fresh peaches.

Maybe, but I'm not seeing cake a being anywhere near as nutritious as ice cream. I guess if you left off the frosting, carrot cake might come close.
When I stay in Germany, I notice that their cakes are a whole lot less sugary tasting. Instead of heavy frosting between the layers it is often whipped cream and fruit. They also eat confections, like cakes at afternoon coffee gatherings instead of after heavy meals. Germans start the day with a lot of protein from cheeses and meats plus fruit and coffee.

-Could be true. I bought stuff for dinner last night at a local high-end supermarket. Granted it was already prepared, but the in store made green chili and pork stew costs me nearly $10 for one pint. McConnell's Turkish coffee ice cream was another $9. I also bought a bottle of 'cheap' white wine which was $12.00. Granted there's still a small size serving of stew left and most of the bottle of wine, but dinner at McDonald's would have been a great deal less costly.

When you consider 100 or millions of people eat fast food every day you don't even consider the possibility that maybe they just like it. I have other options, and it's cheaper to buy and make your own meals, but I just love fast food.
And as far as don't have money. This has already been addressed earlier in this thread.

Is there a hidden meaning in your decision to bold 'white wine'? I thought I was clear about continuing to have an occasional glass of wine. The problem I had was with drinking too much scotch too often.

By options, I meant that you don't have the culture, knowledge, call it what you want, to go for quality. Taste is not something money can buy. Fast food is garbage.

Opt instead for Colonel Sanders chicken strips or chicken tenders. Inside the copious breading which is fried in oil is nothing but 2 oz of boneless chicken breast meat which is not processed, unlike what is found in McNuggets.

"Too much Scotch" is wide-opened to interpretation.
If talking about Lagavulin or Laphroaig, there is no such thing as "too much."
Of course, that's just my opinion... I "could" be wrong.

Easily the most moronic statement made on this thread. Because someone eats fast food they don't have culture or taste. You turn your nose up on these people because you think you are better, more cultured, than you are. I'd sure like to see what kind of life style you live.
It never even dawns on you that sometimes people do things because they like to.

Easily the most moronic statement made on this thread. Because someone eats fast food they don't have culture or taste. You turn your nose up on these people because you think you are better, more cultured, than you are. I'd sure like to see what kind of life style you live.
It never even dawns on you that sometimes people do things because they like to.

Woah, Jay Leno, that stinking' Mariah Carey, the slut Paris Hilton, a basketball player, etc...
The epitome of good taste and culture, sure.
Yes, I do think that when it comes to wine and food, I'm pretty much well educated as I educated myself and, in fact, my lifestyle is probably out of you realm of understanding.
The whole fast food industry is despicable, the externalities are dreadful and it makes is built on poor taste and the consumer's stupidity.
The fact that people "just like" it doesn't give it value.
One might "like" fucking 13yo girls, it still is despicable.....Oh, wait a minute!

Oh brother. Can anyone be so full of themselves? Thinking you're even remotely part of the cultural elite. So well educated that is "out of you realm of understanding" as you sit here on GetBig.
To think your lifestyle is anywhere near that of Lebron James, Mike Pence, Jay Leno (who is in a car that is probably worth more than your house), Paris Hilton... They run in a circle, been to places, met people all over the world, and have a lifestyle, you, as you post here on GetBig, can never even imagine.
Jeeze, brah, you act like your shit don't stink and are superior to us plebs. You are such a conceited clown with an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Here's what some world-renowned chefs have to say about fastfood
https://www.businessinsider.com/why-a-chef-loves-mcdonalds-2015-4
"I am a trained chef and a self-confessed food snob," Waychal writes. "Despite my education in one of the finest cooking schools in Paris and training in classical Michelin starred restaurants, I couldn't be happier chowing down a Big Mac meal with large fries."
https://www.mashed.com/119889/famous-chefs-dish-favorite-fast-food/
"People think Americans are obese and burgers are bad for them — they are delicious. In-N-Out burgers were extraordinary. I was so bad, I sat in the restaurant, had my double cheeseburger then minutes later I drove back round and got the same thing again to take away," he said. "I wish that they were set up in London because if there's one thing I miss flying out of LA, it's an In and Out Burger."
-- Gordon Ramsey
He told Esquire that his favorite fast food indulgence is none other than KFC. "I love that crunchy fried crust. It's like the crumb on top of crumb cake; the chicken is an afterthought, really," he said.
-- Michael Psilakis, Iron Chef America
Talking to Eater, Anthony Bourdain waxed poetic about In-N-Out Burger, saying it was his favorite restaurant in Los Angeles, and praised the bun, good quality meat, non-limp fresh greens, and the perfect "cheese-like substance" of this "brilliant" burger.

BTW, the statement "The fact that people "just like" it doesn't give it value." is just
about the stupidest statement ever said on this board. What people like, what they want, what drives demand, is the most important thing that gives something its value.
It's the difference between the cost and the price of any good or service.
You sound like an effeminate, demasculinized, cuck. Let me guess, you voted for Hillary.

The article you posted. All you need to know. It's a drug. It triggers a physical reaction.
I'm not saying that there's no quality burgers out there, we have a brand here that makes perfectly good burgers; nothing magical about it.
Just that McDonalds and those chains are rubbish.
And don't worry, I don't vote in the US as I live in a place where's there's plenty of good restaurants.
There are things money can't buy; if you're social status makes you feel inferior, that's your problem, you sound like the pussy here. Well, maybe if I had your social status, I wouldn't feel good either.

So desperate to mask your insecurities. So now it's not about taste but it's a drug. A Big Mac is now a drug.
There is nothing about me to even remotely suggest that I feel inferior because of my social status. My history on this board shows unequivocally that I feel vastly blessed and grateful for the life that I have here in Hawaii. It is you that is trying to impress us with your superior status, taste, and culture.
Why don't you tell us where you live? What culture do you come from that bred such class and distinction? That has plenty of good restaurants. You think the U.S. has a dearth of such highfalutin eateries -- lol. If your country is so great why are you here? Isn't there a bbing board you can troll there and be more with your kind instead of us ugly, uncouth Americans.

I live in Paris, I've been on this site for a while and I just come here once in a while (you probably don't remember you calling me an antisemite and having to apologize after as you couldn't find any evidence of that).
Have nothing against Americans, I always hung out even here with a lot of English speaking folks, American or else.
i'm actually "dating" a girl who lives in NYC.
I just happen to love food and wines and this has probably nothing to do with living in Paris, it's just a question of curiosity and inclination. There's plenty of people who live here and have no passion for it.

Yes, I do remember calling someone an anti-Semite and I withdrew that accusation and apologized not because I couldn't find any evidence. I simply took your word for it. If you told me it wasn't you then that was good enough for me and I had obviously mistaken you for someone else. When I am wrong I freely and enthusiastically admit it. That's far more of an indication of class and honor than whether or not I eat Big Macs.
But you are in France. Well, now it all makes sense. And you call me a pussy.
Allahu Akbar!

I'm not disputing that. I can respect people with totally different opinions than mine. But I won't stop arguing with them. I also can have no sympathy for people who share the same interest as I do. You can't break down intellectual integrity just to opinions, ideas. And so your location is an indication of whether or not you're a pussy? There's some deep logic at work there.

A shame France is collapsing because they have given the world some great food. But thanks to good old American know how I can have my own little bit of France right here in Hawaii. Mcd's makes a great AUTHENTIC FRENCH croissant. Comes with the real French butter and everything. Here's how they describe it:
"This authentic croissant is made with real French butter. This flaky treat is a great complement to your Cappuccino."

Enjoy. A good croissant is great, though you still have to be reasonable as it's basically butter and butter. France is not doing good but people tend to exaggerate. Of course, I'm not living anywhere near the worst places and I'm pretty privileged in that sense. But I don't think French culture will just collapse. There will always be people who understand the legacy there generations have handed to them and will keep that spirit alive somehow, even if it's no longer the mainstream.

This 2004 documentary is a stinging indictment of McDonald’s. This guy ate only McDonald’s food for 30 days and his bloodwork went to shit.

That's because his body wasn't used to that type of food. His then-vegan cook wife had made all his food before he chose to eat fast food 3 times a day.
You can tell he wasn't a McDonald's customer because he vomited after his first meal, like a total pussy. Eat a stick of butter every day and you'll probably end up in the hospital, too, so I never understood the point of his film. It made me go to McDonald's that very day, actually. Morgan was the equivalent of a never-smoker going through three packs of cigs a day - of course it fucked him up. I know people who eat McDonald's 4-5 times a week and they're all doing OK.

Getbiggers only dine at the finest restaurants known to man.
They surround themselves with expensive food and wine, as they watch reruns of Spobgebob Square Pants.

Then there was the documentary "Down Size Me" which showed just the opposite. The guy lost weight and got in better shape.
It's just three macros, brah; fats, carbs, protein. It's how you combine them and mostly how much you consume.

And they're twice the price, have far fewer locations (or none, depending on where you live), and don't have the same convenient options for order, like doing so from your phone and picking it up at the counter or ordering from a touchscreen computer.

A number 2 at McDonald’s costs about 8 bucks.
Can you show me what meal on the Arby’s menu cost 16 dollars?
Further, Tres never said anything about location, prices or convenience. Those were variables you just added in.
I’m simply going by taste and quality.

i rememeber all EVMS EXTRA VALUE MEALS WERE $2.99 at one time
what does one cost now?

Yep. Just add sides and a desert and upsize your fries and drink, and you're pushing $15. Not to mention, unlike McDonald's, they don't have a dollar menu. You can order a meal from McDonald's that comes out to less than $4.

The most expensive Arby’s meal including sandwich, drink and fries is 8.39.
About the same price as McDonald’s most expensive meal.

Yeah, but I said upsize your meal and add a desert and the price goes up. Therefore, it can easily be $15 to eat a full meal with a dessert and larger portions, which is in fact double the price of a McDonald's meal with the same add-ons. Think about it, McDonald's has some meals for $5-$6, so adding a sundae and supersizing your fries and drink would make that about $7.50, half the amount.
You can find the full price list here.
https://www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/arbys-prices/ (https://www.fastfoodmenuprices.com/arbys-prices/)
And, like I said, they have no dollar menu. There's no way to buy five sandwiches at Arby's anywhere on the menu and keep it under $10. You certainly can do that at McDonald's.
Therefore, since the business model of fast food is speed rather than quality (that's more a dine-in restaurant thing, as mentioned by another poster), McDonald's is currently far in the lead in terms of revenue and stores worldwide.
McDonald's: 35000 stores
Arby's: 3342 stores

But I don’t upsize or get dessert.
As such, I spend roughly 8-9 dollars on an Arby’s meal which is not double the price of most McDonalds meals, as I originally stated. I’m getting better quality food for roughly the same price.

What if you're in England or Spain?
I ordered an Arby’s meal (about 8 dollars) about 4 weeks ago, then a few weeks later I ordered a McDonalds meal (about 6-7 dollars). I think I maybe paid 1-2 dollars more at Arby’s. How is that double the price? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Like I said, you picked meals that were on the top-end of the menu. There's $5-6 meals and $8-9 meals at both places. The difference is at Arby's that's as low as they go, while at the other place there's full meals that can cost no more than $3-$4, making some of the Arby's meals twice the price even WITHOUT the add-ons, since you have a small stomach.

the lowest Arby’s meal are around 6-7 dollars, which is only a 1-2 dollar difference when compared to the 5-6 meals.

What's wrong with you Luddites? Use that phone you always have in your hand anyway. They're begging you to order from your phone. All the sandwiches, except the Signature brand, are just a dollar. Big Macs, QP w/cheese, Artesian Chicken Breast..., all the stuff I order anyway.
I never spend over $5 for a meal and it's usually under $4 because I just get a sandwich and fries. This order was almost $5 because I splurged and ordered a couple of apple pies. New PR on the Hammer leg press so I felt I deserved it.
In the locker room when I get my stuff, before I head out I send in my order using their app. By the time I get there it almost ready. I have just enough time to get my table, some extra napkins, ice water, and sanitize my hands with the wipes they provide.
NO STANDING IN LINE! NO WAITING! Right when I got my phone set up on Twitter I didn't even get a chance to sit down before my order was called out.
Another bonus: Every time you order using their app you get entered into a contest to win free McDonald's for life! Dear God! Now that's a dream come true!
One Artesian Chicken sandwich, one small fries (but they always give me a medium and just tell me that's what they do for phone orders) and two pipping hot apples pies. Then there's the filtered ice water, sanitary wipes, clean tables and bathrooms... I'm in hog heaven!

"Too much Scotch" is wide-opened to interpretation.
If talking about Lagavulin or Laphroaig, there is no such thing as "too much."
Of course, that's just my opinion... I "could" be wrong.
Glenlivet is my choice, although not as expensive as Lagavulin, it's good.

-decided to have breakfast out yesterday. Thought about getting a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and decided against it. Could I have had my fill of these? Instead, I went to Biscuits for Florentine eggs Benedict, with homestyle cottage fried red potatoes, a glass of grapefruit juice and coffee.

Price is irrelevant.

What people like, what they want, what drives demand, is the most important thing that gives something its value.
Everyone wants a spacious, nice place to live with a view and several, nice cars. The fact that they want it isn't what gives it value, its the fact that few can afford it. What gives something value, meaning cost, is the fact that few people can afford it. Only the rich have things most really want. The food at Mcdonalds has little or no value..why its sold for pennies...its the franchise that has value...and only the rich can afford a franchise. Warren Buffett has invested in Mcdonalds and Coca Cola since their inception...he's made billions off the stocks....hence the photos....The food has zero value....the business model has the value....every time a broke slob eats a chicken mcnugget its 10 cents in Buffets and stock holders pockets....What the poor buy and eat is how the rich make money....That's capitalism...not quality.

Sorry, I don't buy your analysis. The value from McDonalds is from the products sold there. If the public didn't buy then the stock is worthless.

The demand is very high for McD. That's why they are one of the most successful and prosperous business ever. For what you pay and what you get it's a great VALUE. If I, or anybody else, pays money to McD it has value to us. Maybe not to you, but I don't care what you want -- what you value. It has value to me, and 100s of millions, if not billions, because I say it does. And I prove twice a week with my dollars.
Capitalism breeds value and service. If someone feels another company can do it better they will go there instead.

Like Pellius mentioned, if you use the App, you can get the stuff almost free.
Last time I went, I got a QP w/ cheese for 3.50, and a 2nd one for 1.00, and a small milk, Twas like 5.00 and change.
Haven't been back since cleaning up the (hate the word "diet") eating habits again, but now I want a QP and a Big Mac god dammit! :-\
Last 6 times out to eat was Chinese a couple of times, Korean, Thai, etc. You can get the healthy lunch meals for 6.50 (with one junk side like chicken wings that come w/ it).

My boss bought a bunch of McDonald's for us yesterday. I haven't had it in years, and now I remember why. Absolute shit! Tastes like shit, and is full of chemicals and preservatives. How they're still in business is beyond me. Is it even real food? ???
damn, and all of these years I thought McDonald's was healthy food, who would of thunk?
-
So yesterday I took the day off work for my wife to get her 2nd boob job. Because the first doctor was a hack and it didn't heal right.
On the way home we were both starving (she hadn't gotten to eat since the night before) and I got a Big Mac and large fries and it was as delicious as I remembered it. Them's good eatin's!

Everyone wants a spacious, nice place to live with a view and several, nice cars. The fact that they want it isn't what gives it value, its the fact that few can afford it. What gives something value, meaning cost, is the fact that few people can afford it. Only the rich have things most really want. The food at Mcdonalds has little or no value..why its sold for pennies...its the franchise that has value...and only the rich can afford a franchise. Warren Buffett has invested in Mcdonalds and Coca Cola since their inception...he's made billions off the stocks....hence the photos....The food has zero value....the business model has the value....every time a broke slob eats a chicken mcnugget its 10 cents in Buffets and stock holders pockets....What the poor buy and eat is how the rich make money....That's capitalism...not quality.
You are also conflating cost and value as it pertains to individuals. Just because something is expensive it doesn't mean that all people want it. To most, a Picaso painting just looks like finger painting done by a child and few would want it for free let along pay millions for it. If they did come into possession of it they would immediately sell it. A friend of mine who did very well in Real Estate decided to move out of his spacious beautiful home now that his kids are gone and his wife passed away for something smaller. He can afford this huge house as it's paid for but he no longer wants it. This is different from the value that comes from what you put in and what you get out of it. Of course, there are better places than McDonald's to eat, but they provide such a great value that people go there willingly every day dollars in hand.

Supply and demand determine price...Mcdonalda has a great business model because they sell cheap crap...but its affordable and tasty cheap crap..you'll nevwr run out of cheap crap...so the price stays low despite such huge demand for cheap, quick food....Cheap crap is always wanted by the masses...has nothing to do with quality...actually Mcdonalds at times has tried to serve higher quality..they had a pure sirloin burger a couple years back...high quality cut of meat...TOTAL FLOP....had to raise price just a tad....out of business...customers don't want quality from Mcdonalds...fuck sirloin...just throw any shit, fatty cut of meat on as long as its cheap....
Cheap, fast and low quality. That's the American way.
99 cent stores have taken off into billion dollar business as well and its not the quality of the items.

Whether or not you consider something "cheap crap " is an entirely separate issue vis-a-vis its value to others.

I didn't realize the food at McDonald's was valuable and precious to people like you....my apologies....For me it's cheap crap you have late after maybe getting a little drunk and hungry and it's open late...But I didn't realize it has real value to people like you....sorry....

You are partially right here. But remember anyone can buy shares in McDonald’s corp. The minimum required investment is very small.

Buffett made the billions off Mcdonalds and coke....Unfortunately its on every corner around the world now..not sure theres enough growth for an aggressive investor...but if you take Buffetts strategy and live to 100....Mcdonalds is a good long term investment.....Read something that its taking off in middle east...It pleases me to think some radical hate America allah fucker has his kids begging for Happy Meals.
-
Sorry, I don't buy your analysis. The value from McDonalds is from the products sold there. If the public didn't buy then the stock is worthless.
I agree. Give the public what they want and they will be loyal customers.
-
The demand is very high for McD. That's why they are one of the most successful and prosperous business ever. For what you pay and what you get it's a great VALUE. If I, or anybody else, pays money to McD it has value to us. Maybe not to you, but I don't care what you want -- what you value. It has value to me, and 100s of millions, if not billions, because I say it does. And I prove twice a week with my dollars.
Capitalism breeds value and service. If someone feels another company can do it better they will go there instead.
Also, the suggestion that McDonald's is feeding the poor is hogwash (as if to suggest there is something wrong with this). People who can afford to eat at 5 star restaurants also buy food at McDonald's and other fast and easy restaurants.

Cheap crap can taste good....frankly greasy foods high in saturated fat just taste good....same with sugar....But it has nothing to do with quality....its still garbage...which was the original topic....is Mcdonalds garbage or high quality food?...Again...doesn't mean it doesn't taste good or people like it...I could put away 50 Chicken Mcnuggets right now with spicy mustard....its a guilty pleasure....
Fried twinkies dipped in mayonaise some people like...hot dogs...which are like pig ass...hugely popular....Tastes good and quality are 2 different things.
Nothing against Mcdonalds...more power to them...Ill have it sometimes...
Just sad when I see parents feeding their obese kids happy meals daily..."cause they like it"....we all like it but its still crap to generally be avoided except for fun once in a while....

Most people who buy food from the store and cook it at home are eating garbage too: soda, pizza, corndogs, chocolate, chips, biscuits, etc. Very few people eat a clean diet year-round. I mean go to any work site and the guys in the lunch room might have home-made food but it's always junk, sandwiches stuffed with mayo and fatty meats, those hungry man dinners, etc.
McDonald's is no worse than any of those options, is easy to get, and for some people it's all they can afford after they're done with their jobs.

People like Mcdonalds for the same reason we like bodybuilding...it represents the hedonism of the lower class...that has always existed...The ideal male form is pale and thin...this would be an aristocrat...pale because they are not a laborer working in the fields outside in the sun...and no muscles because they certainly will not be doing any physical labor...this is why women are generally turned off by big muscles...it represents a heathen...A guy with big muscles represents a laborer...owned by thin, pale aristocrats...its genetic...its why shitty food tastes so good...it was created to be cheap and tasty so the aristocrats could feed it to the slaves...
Most of us in America are the descendents of either slaves or indentured servants..whether black, Irish, Italian,etc....and we genetically like fatty crap...its genetic....why its so damn addictive...
Only about 1% of the population controls everything...and that 1% likes quality..quality food, music and homes.....They indulge in the hedonistic pleasures of the lower class infrequently....for fun and guilty pleasure..like Trump fucking a porn star he wouldn't be seen in public with
Why do you think Clinton always posed eating Mcdonalds?...to show he's a laborer like you...eats shit like a slave....

LOL! The things people come up with. Pale and skinny is ideal. Not strong and robust.
Eating poor man food is hedonism, not the rich specially designed fare that cost more than what most people make in a week done by top chefs who make more in a day than most do in a month. What is that? Roughing it.

Look at how many "strong and robust" people have deep money...real money...Is Bill Gates strong and robust?....Women don't like big muscles...why?...It's a symbol of physical working class.....Prince Harry is on the cover of every magazine as is his marriage..pale...sickly looking....Women fantasize about being an internationally known princess....not about buffed guys....It's a poverty level male fantasy that if they get buffed and ripped enough women want them...its just false....I'm not saying I'm above it...I bodybuild...I just don't have delusions that its desirable to women....they want skinny, pale rich guys.....Here's Serena...all the money in the world and could have the most perfect muscular guy...who's she marry?

Nope. It's not their weak body that is getting the girls. It's their fat wallets! More women find The Rock more attractive than they do Bill Gates. But Rock would, as would Bill, would drop way down the pecking order if they were selling oranges on a street corner.

Dying one's hair to look younger is a tricky business. You're right about gray hair and looking old, except when you have it while you're still very young looking. Scraggly, wispy hair makes folks look older and/or sick. Fortunately, the shaved look does not. Quit boasting about your luxurious mane or I will look you up and cut your crowning glory off while you're asleep....just to exact my revenge. ;D ;D ;D

My experience is that men getting older, grayer, balding seem to resent other men that dye their hair. They always say it makes you look worse. But when they allow themselves to go gray or lose their hair they make fun of them and relish the fact that they are looking old. Imagine if Stallone or Seagal didn't do whatever they do to keep their hair and keep it from getting gray. If Chuck Norris had that advance MPB and gray all over which I assume he is naturally being well into his 70's.
So, like my general philosophy in life is, that there will always be people who will criticize you no matter what you do so you might as well do what you want. People, and you even hear it on this board, even give me a hard time for going to the gym and working out. They tell I'm 60 years old now and shouldn't I be doing something else instead of "frantically" trying to stay young. I always pat them on their fat protruding gut -- and there is ALWAYS a fat protruding gut -- and tell them to just worry about themselves.
And give their gut another look and say, "And, in your case, REALLY worry about yourself."

If you know some secret as to how one can prevent male pattern baldness, why aren't you unimaginably rich. Are you suggesting I allowed myself to go mostly bald in my twenties? I had no idea there was a choice. Just as one size doesn't fit all, one hair color doesn't either.
I've let my body hair grow out (I'm pretty hairy) and then dyed it because gray pubes just don't look good no matter how great my dick is. ;D I admit that when I dyed my body hair, it absolutely looked better than in it's natural salt and pepper coloration. Clipping it all off is just easier than dying it.

Huh? It's not a secret and people do and are rich for reversing baldness. It's called hair implants.

Not to be rude, but what personal experience do you have with baldness? My guess is none since you said you have good hair. Money buys a lot of things including doctors who scam folks into thinking they can restore the full head of hair one had in their youth. Whoever develops a real remedy for baldness, will become incredibly rich.
Implants only work when there is enough hair to implant. People with very fine and thin hair aren't good candidates for implants.
Limitations of Hair Transplants:
Limited amount of hairs genetically resistant to hair loss in the donor area.
Particular to follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery, donor hairs can be taken from outside the genetically resistant area which will continue to thin and eventually be lost
Large bald areas that patients desire to have covered cannot be transplanted to full coverage
Insufficient density of transplanted hair
The need for repeat hair transplants due to continued hair loss (Hair transplant does not stop hair thinning).

Unless I read what you posted wrong, you seemed to be suggesting that enough money can buy people with MPB a new head of natural hair. This simply isn't true. Whether being bald makes folks look older than they are is subjective and dependent on the individual who has MPB.

Well, no offense, but you did read it wrong. I try to precise in my choice of words. I said that there those who have become rich by reversing baldness. Quite different from saying that only rich people can reverse baldness. And I distinguish, as it pertains to looking older or younger, between being bald and MPB. I don't think being completely bald plays much of a role in your appearance as it pertains to looking young or old but I think everybody with MPB will look older than they are if they either had a full head of hair or completely bald.

I'm adding in the apple pie every time now. Yesterday, I didn't even finish my QP w cheese and fries because I wanted to have room for the two apple pies. Then I ordered two more to go. I figure I might need it to survive the upcoming storm. It's almost 6 PM Thursday and though most of the island is getting drenched he hasn't made it's way to my side yet.
I still have one of the pies handy.

Decided to take a little stroll outside and check things out before we get hit. Clouds starting to build and rumble on the shoreline. Roads are deserted. Koolau mountains looking dark and gloomy. Above ground power lines just suck as we get power hits pretty regularly and what I dread most in an upcoming storm. The little river before it overflows and floods the road stopping traffic on both ends. The corner store always opens no matter what.
The hurricane "Lane" has been downgraded to cat 3 so we'll see how it goes this time tomorrow.

i am craving MCD cheeseburgers right now

Fortunately, I am on the North East side of the island and the hurricane is approaching from the other side, the South West side, of the island. It seems to be veering off toward the West and it's doesn't look like it's going to hit my side directly. The other side of the island, Waikiki side, is getting flooded out.

I'm glad Pellius is alright but having lived in Hawaii I know it has one of the most stuck up, retarded, racist populations on phlatt Earf.
Given their government's proclivity for incivility toward whitey (except of course, females) I hope the Democraps in office all become floaters in the next election and are flushed away. "Hawaiians" don't even like black people. Samoan transplants and black guys were always fighting and regardless of Wiggs and his stoopid hebroe shit, black guys got their asses kicked collectively and individually. The only place Samoans are "normal" size is in the NFL.
As for McDonald's? Like I said, it all makes a turd. Calories are what you do with 'em. Calories. Not nutritional value.

Well, no offense, but you did read it wrong. I try to precise in my choice of words.

Well, being born and raised here, then living on the mainland for twenty years, and now back for any twelve years and counting; I don't entirely agree with this. The government is primarily made up of Whites and Asian, and the locals that occupy office are not the same as the locals in the general population. So not much prejudice against Whites. But the real problem is with the local Islanders. Almost identical to inner city Blacks. Lazy, angry, victocrats, sense of entitlement, violent, uneducated, druggies....
And to say that "Hawaiian's don't even like Blacks," is kind of a head-scratcher because, in general, you can substitute any race under "Hawaiian's" including "Blacks" and it will still make sense. There's nothing unusual about that and it is the norm in the general population. Fortunately, and let me tell you (though it's sad to say) that it's a huge quality of life issue, the inner city Black culture is almost nonexistent on the islands. Sure, you have the young wannabes that try to act ghetto, but it's more entertaining in a "headlock and noogy/look at my little gangsta" kind of way. Not the real thug life nigs that just seems to be ever expanding on the mainland like a cancer.

My experience with Islanders is nearly 50 years old. I doubt they've changed much at all. I could be wrong and in some instances, I hope so. But that is up to the people, not me.

Crazy stuff. My great niece just flew there last Sunday for a visit with a friend who parents were vacationing there before school started here. All of them got flights out on the 24th. Too bad their vacation was cut short.

You've been living here for the last fifty years or you first visited here fifty years ago?
If not, when was the last time you were actually here?

Just a few years ago. Still racists. I have a friend that was there last year and he was treated like an unwelcome haole, i.e., like shit.
Only haole women are tread well by MALE islanders. Female islanders don't much care for them. This is reality.
-
One of the best ways to overcome racism is through friendship. While stationed at Schofield Barracks 15 years ago, my daughter and son-in-law developed a close relationship with a Maoli man. They've remained friends to this day. They were in daily contact last week because of the hurricane. Fortunately, Blake is doing fine.
Strangers are naturally leery of one another. Don't just show up at a exclusive Maoli hangout such as certain beaches, be invited. It is natural to fear what you don't know. At their core, people have more in common than they could imagine.

it is the greatest fast food restaurant ever.

Well, thanks for educating me about the realities of an island I was born, raised and spent most of my life in.
But at least the matter is settled and I trust you will never be in Hawaii ever again.

So I am in Kailua killing time until my doctor's appointment. Kailua is a very well planned upper-class city. You have the main town where are the businesses are and the houses are in the surrounding area. So you can just park at any one of the business parking lots and then hoof it. You can get to anywhere on foot.
So I'm looking for a Jack in the Box or a Burger King. I like my burgers with crisp leaf cut lettuce, sliced onions, and sliced tomatoes. As great a deal as the QP w/cheese is, it's still the same diced onions and lettuce and no tomatoes.
I know where there is a Jack in the Box so I head in that direction. My freaking knees have really been acting up lately (I mentioned before that I have to have them replaced) but I trudge on. As I see the oasis of the Jack in the Box sign I trudge on wincing with determination.
Then, as fate would have it, I find that I am walking right by a McDonald's. I swear they are everywhere. It's one of the reasons they just own the market. I pause, "Should I? Should I?"
I've been on a hot apple pie kick recently and they are only 89 cents FFS. Love deep fried sugar stuff. Doughnuts, malasadas... It's not like I'm "prepping" for a show. I look again wistfully at Jack in the Box. Really love that Sourdough bacon burger. Someone just walks out of McDonald's and I see the pristine tables and floors shimmering with all due hygienic propriety beckoning me. Jack in the Box now seems miles away.
It feels good to be home again.
-

They do. Good deal.
-
Oh, BTW, I forgot the most important thing. As mentioned, I love my burgers with crisp leaf lettuce, sliced onions, and sliced tomatoes.
It's not crowded so I go up to the cashier with my phone already set to the barcode so I can get the $1 deal for the Qp w/cheese. She then asks what QP w/ cheese do I want.
I reply, "What? Just the QP with cheese, what other kind do you have?"
She said, "Oh we have the regular and then the deluxe."
"What? What do you mean deluxe?"
"You know. Deluxe. Whole leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sliced onions. It's more expensive but still just a dollar if you use your phone."
"Wait a minute? You have real deluxe QP cheeseburgers? And it only costs a dollar." I ask in utter disbelief.
"Yeah, as long as you use your phone."
"How long has this been going on?"
"I don't know. Like forever. But I've only been working here for three months."
Pinter pause. My eyes start to well up in tears. I want to embrace her and live in this very McDonald's for the rest of my life.
This is what makes McDonald's great. This is what makes Capitalism so great. I know this will shock people but not only is Capitalism and far more superior economic system than Socialism, it is actually a far more moral economic system than Socialism. It makes society better, it makes businesses better and, it makes people better. Yes, you heard that right. Capitalism makes, ever forces, people to become better people.
America. Fuck Yeah!

Well, the truth of the matter (and you already know this) is that you are not YT or as it is said over there, Haole. I am. Bette Midler was born and raised there too. She went to Haole High, aka Radford High School class of 1963.
It was given that name by locals because most of the military kids attended it. She's far, far more liberal than I but I would hazard a guess that being a girl, a haole girl, overall she was treated far better by the locals (male locals, that is) than I ever was. A great many Hawaiians are racist assholes of color who, like other racists assholes of color, get away with it because they're racist assholes of color. And in Hawaii, being a racist asshole of color is government sanctioned.
FTN.
Back to McDonald's. Nothing wrong with it. I eat there on occasion and have no problems with their menu. I do wish they fried their pies instead of baking them.

You have some reading to do, Pellius. Mainly Max Weber but also Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments.
What you are describing is the lowest common denominator economy or what Peter Sloterdijk has described as the Leftist mass consumption economy: cheap shit for everyone.
That’s not Capitalism.

In our version of capitalism, the workers that produce the goods cannot afford the goods they produced...hence the wonderful world of credit and debt.....or financial slavery....Poor people are encouraged to buy commodities they cannot afford with "No money down and easy payments"....Of course the rich will always benefit from this system as they don't need credit..and if they decide to use credit, its usually with little or no interest...because the poor pay such exhorbitant interest, fees and finacning charges....and of course the entire world of finance is owned by the rich..with Heads of banks getting $100 million dollars just as bonuses while cranking up late fees, overdraft charges, under limit fees...account maintenance fees on the poor...the rich will never pay any type of these fees....
I'm not a socialist but think we can improve on this form of capitalism.

Or...another trudging step seemed impossible because of your painful knees. Lucky for you, respite at McDonald's was available. :)
The Jack in the Box near me shuttered it's doors. Maybe McDonald's with their two local stores, was too much competition.

One of the hallmarks of a pseudointellectual is to claim ignorance, lack of education, or simply stupidity -- inferior cognitive function to grasp abstract ideas -- to the opposing speaker. Then comes the requisite homework assignments and references to sources that the speaker knows full well that the majority of the audience addressed will be unfamiliar with in hopes of adding credibility and gravitas to his massive intellect and making the audience feel inferior and even guilty that they are so preoccupied with making a living, caring for their families, dealing with various relationships, juggling the constant unforeseen blind side attacks that life always has for you, and generally trying to keep body and soul together that they have been remiss in their study of the good philosopher and cultural theorist, Peter Sloterdijk, who is probably just as unknown in Germany as he is here in America outside of the intellectual elite who sneer at we unwashed masses.
Never is a specific point addressed or disputed or any arguments made to refute any claims made. Dr. Chimps, also a very well read individual, does this constantly. Never actually poses any refutation or contrary argument. Just that you're wrong, probably stupid, and you need to educate yourself and read "this and that".
If there is a specific point you want to address or refute or require clarification then by all means. Any reference or quotes I might make to outside sources is only to buttress an already made point argued and reasoned.

How one manages their resources is a matter of personal responsibility and has nothing to do with access or wealth of a nation or individual.

You just happened to make a stupid assessment about Capitalism, with no theoretical or historical background to it. I just pointed a direction, pretty much the most basic, concerning a concept you employed while being extremely affirmative. If the point you're trying to make is that every opinion has the same value and the analysis of an uninformed imbecile is as valuable as of someone who has bothered studying a subject, there's no point in making statements like the one you did about one system being better than another. As it's pretty obvious that you're an relativist, at least when it comes to you making idiotic statements.
-

Agreed. "Just Say No" to consumerism.
Invest your money. Make money with your money (capital).
That is Capitalism.
Change your thinking. What is $100,000?
To the consumer it is the means to buy more stuff.
To the Capitalist it represents an income stream from investment. $100,000 invested at 5% makes you $5,000/yr. Accumulate $1 million and you earn $50,000/yr. And you still have your $1 million.
Educate yourself instead of complaining. Get smart.
This is the mindset of Warren Buffett.

I was not making the point that every opinion has the same value. I don't know where you get that from. I am pointing out how Capitalism, economic competition, breeds excellence. It forces business not to be selfish but to serve the interest of their customers. Only by giving them goods and services that they want, and doing it better and cheaper than their competitors, can they succeed. And you have to be nice. Anybody that has had first-hand experience with government agencies, where there is no competition, knows that they are notoriously less than consumer friendly. Just trying to get them to answer the phone is an achievement.
But what is most surprising to me is that you: who fancies himself an intellectual, cultured, sophisticate, should be so emotionally vested in this debate and is actually angry and attack me personally for disagreeing with you. You offer no specific arguments to any of my assertions but just call me names. That I am stupid and idiotic. I have zero animosity towards you for disagreeing with me. Any argument or refutation you want to offer I will address best I can. But all you do is insult me.
Very unbecoming of a Frenchman who fancies himself as a person of class and dignity which, as you claim, money can't buy. Perhaps you should stick to your fine dining of little food, old moldy cheese, expensive wine driving about in your tiny smart cars that look more like a gay spaceship than slumming about with us American boors and our cheap, fast, pedestrian swill.
This is why you hate him. This is why we love him. We'll see who wins in the end.

You're so obsessed with your political agenda that you're ready to twist facts so that you can create a reality that suits you're beliefs.
When did I insult you? I just stated that you made a stupid point about Capitalism, that you confuse with Consumerism.
I just gave you a few hints, a historical perspective that you seemingly don't care about.
Pretty interesting that an advocate of the capitalist system would completely ignore the forefathers of that very theory.
You're playing the victim over and over again, we've seen you revel in this kind of behavior and you've been constantly called out for it.
You'll have to admit that it's not the most manly thing to do.

Holy shit! Talk about a meltdown!
I give my opinion why I choose McDonald's over other fast food restaurants and attribute that to the competition inherent in a market economy and demonstrated in real life as I stand between a Jack-in-the-Box and a McDonald's and it becomes a political agenda of twisted facts and playing a victim and not caring about the historical perspective that '"we've" seen you revel in...'
There is no "we've". There's only you. A typical European Leftist that thinks he's smarter than anybody else and that his shit don't stink. You can eat all the overpriced fancy French food and drink all the fine wines to nourish that flaccid body of yours but your turds stinks just as much as a homeless man's poop.

I get some of my most anabolic protein gains from McD's!!

Holy shit! Talk about a meltdown!
I give my opinion why I choose McDonald's over other fast food restaurants and attribute that to the competition inherent in a market economy and demonstrated in real life as I stand between a Jack-in-the-Box and a McDonald's and it becomes a political agenda of twisted facts and playing a victim and not caring about the historical perspective that '"we've" seen you revel in...'
There is no "we've". There's only you. A typical European Leftist that thinks he's smarter than anybody else and that his shit don't stink. You can eat all the overpriced fancy French food and drink all the fine wines to nourish that flaccid body of yours but your turds stinks just as much as a homeless man's poop.
Man, you are such a weirdo.
I think that in the weirdo department, you're pretty difficult to beat. Your pics have the been the laughing stock of the site for years, your "elf" status didn't help either and you're . You come out as creepy 50 something yo with no kids and who barely breaks the 50k a year barrier.
Your semantics revolve constantly around "meltdown", "Leftist", "flaccid". Do you realize that you sound like a teenager? Probably there lies the reason you have nothing against grow men fucking 13yo girls.. You seem very much obsessed with Europe also. It sure hasn't reached the level of sophistication of Hawaii.

-Good response with one exception. There is no such person as a typical leftist, European or otherwise, just as there is no typical ring-wing person. Referring to people in stereotypes is just lazy thinking. You're a smart fellow. You can do better than this.
It is exceptional that a thread about a fast food restaurant has become a catalyst for abundant and varied posts, some having absolutely nothing to do with McDonald's. 'Melting down' over imagined political connotations of patronizing McDonald's is the height of absurdity. ;)
Craving one of these:

Now you are really, really desperate and having a truly brutal meltdown that you are just making things up. Fact is, I've been married, I've raised far more kids then you have, have made far more than 50 grand a year since my twenties (I live in the most expensive State in the country), and I am in way, way better shape then you have ever been. You'd be ashamed at posting a recent pic of your skinny fat bod eating all that
Frenchy food thinking you're so sophisticated. LOL!
You're a pussified clown passing yourself as an intellectual sophisticate having a meltdown at where other people eat. And Hawaii is a way better place to live than France. LOL. We don't even have a Muslim population let alone one that is easily conquering your country without so much as a fight.
And for someone who claims to be so educated can you at least spell, punctuate, and use decent grammar you pussified ninny.

Not true, Prime (may I call you Prime?). There are reasons for labels. Of course, there are subtle differences but someone on the Left and someone on the Right has specific traits. Some general, some specific. A general observation is an almost diametrically opposed worldview between the Western Europeans and the U.S. Again this doesn't mean every single individual and it does vary by degrees. The U.S. is more defined by Capitalism, Religiosity and a strong military and the willingness to use it. The Europeans are more defined by Socialism, Secularism, and Pacificism.
Now you may say, "Well, I'm not religious. We spend too much on defense. I support more government regulations..." Well, that's you. But that's not the country. We are still primarily a religious country (far, far more so than Europe), still have the most formidable military and plan to keep it that way, and make it even greater under Trump, and still believe in a market economy.
But what is truly outrageous and absurd, is this moron having such a meltdown that someone considers McDonald's a great fast food chain and emblematic of the American way. A small business growing into an international empire simply by providing goods and services that people want. He tries to minimize my life but I go on living it and enjoying it in Hawaii and feel very grateful and thankful for winning life's lottery simply by being born here having access to places like McDonald's at my fingertips. This guy seems like such a little, petty, whiny, poor excuse for a man by obsessing over this. How pathetic his life must be to give even a nanosecond of thought to this. It is beyond comprehension that I would care one iota what he thinks of me going to McDonald's. It's crazy to even be saying this. I mean, I thought it was kind of tongue in cheek, as you probably gather by my posts, but this guy is serious. Does MORTALCOIL strike you as a happy man? "Why so serious, bro?"

You're like a broken record. It's a good thing you manage to live in a reality of your own. Your pics have been laughed for years here, knowing that you were juicing for such a pitiful result. And sure, 99% of the population would rather live in shitty Hawaii compared to one of the most visited capitals in the world. Good to know that you have a family, you did wait for a woman to hit puberty to fuck her at least once in your life. Quite an achievement for a uber-pedo like yourself. Go on your merry way.

Oh my god, does every fucking thread need to be a fight between two people that nobody cares about? Fucking hell. Make your own goddamned thread and fucking go there with all your feuds. ::)

The only people that laugh at my pics are those that wouldn't dare post one their own. You're proof of that.
And wanting to visit is not the same as wanting to live. France is committing cultural suicide because of cucks like you.

Of course you may call me Prime. It's a heck of a lot better than some of the things I've been called on Getbig. I'd change my handle to something more appropriate except I kinda enjoy humor in its innuendo and its satirical aspects. I'm certainly not in my prime...physically speaking.
Generalized labels, as much as I deplore them, do help us define things more easily. I'm okay with them as long as folks understand they are generalizations and not absolutely definitive. Everyone I've met in my long life is unique despite any similarities to others. We do folks a big disservice when we stereotype them while ignoring their individuality.
Bottom line is that IMO, McDonald's rocks! LOL

Pellius, have you tried the mcdouble burgers with white cheese? Here it is called cheeseburger deluxe, or similar, and I prefer it to mcd's yellow cheese.

I didn't know they had White cheese. Not sure if available in Hawaii. I just came from McDonald's. I'll ask when I go there Sunday. Thanks for the tip.

I still love it.
I could happily eat one of their 1/4 pounders (UK one is not as greasy as the US one) every day for the rest of my life
-
havent been in Mc Donalds for over 2 years
-
Haven’t been in a long while, kind of want a QPwC now.
-
My boss bought a bunch of McDonald's for us yesterday. I haven't had it in years, and now I remember why. Absolute shit! Tastes like shit, and is full of chemicals and preservatives. How they're still in business is beyond me. Is it even real food? ???
unimaginable that you ate it, it has absolutely shortened your life by a little bit, there is no doubt about it, even eating it once will shorten your life for sure, even tho the delusionalites like gregg doucette refuse to accept that reality
-

however, eating that every day will shorten your life by several years, potentially decades, depending on your genetics

How exactly?
If I ate the burger their fries and soda every day then it would probably do the things you mention.
There would be no issues from eating the burger every day provided the rest of food intake that day was balanced.

it is highly processed food and contains many harmful additives, i can't give you all the details, you can look up a lot of info about it, should you really care
-
I would never eat that trash or any fast food. That's peasant food.
-
I eat it every third day and absolutely love it. What do I care if it shortens my life, Im shocked I made it to 57, anything now is bonus. Do I wanna be 82 and stumbling around shitting my pants? Fuck no. Im gonna eat what I want when I want and if/when it ends me, I had a good run
-

Done that a long time ago. The burger meat in the UK is of better quality than what they put in the US version.
A slice of processed cheese isn't going to do anything and burger buns which is the equivalent of eating 2 slices of bread is hardly gonna take years or decades of someones life, just like eating a small cheese bagel a day isn't.

Once a decade I have a quarter pounder the last one went down well.

You`re taking about buying a truckload of Scotch in one thread,and now saying a burger can kill you because of preservatives.....happy cirrhosis of the liver! ;D

maybe, it's better to be safe

I eat pretty healthy for the most part but if I can`t have a few Filet-O-Fish sandwiches,or a 1/4 Pounder once in a while,then fuck it.
With all the poison I`ve ingested over the decades at times,I do not fear a burger one bit! ;D
-
maybe, it's better to be safe
Appreciate the advice. I will avoid all foods now just to be ultra safe
-
What about Burger King? Healthier than McD right?
-
Burger King is decent but I don't understand why the whopper buns have to be so soft and sloppy. Whoppers would be much better with better bread.
-

don't do that, try to eat many different vegetables per week and a variety of unprocessed high quality meats and fish. Ideally, try to eat maximum once per day, just eat a ton of good food in one shot in the evening after a long day of suffering, then let the body absorb it and fast for over 22-23 hours, this will reduce cancer development speed and boost natural repair mechanisms. also drink a lot of water and tea and use only cast iron pans and pots, not cancer laden non sticky coatings and also avoid silicone and aluminium injected toiletries. stay safe
-
I enjoy a couple McDoubles every now and then. It’s insane how much they charge for their food now, a “value” meal is like $10 now.

But what if my vegetables grew in contaminated soil. What if the animals where given poor quality contaminated feed. What if the fish are full of mercury. What if microplastics are in my food and water.
I'm just never gonna eat, drink or even bathe again!. That's the only safe way to be safe
I'll just become this guy

I have no room in which to invoke God but this was a good man. It is my hope that when he breathed his last and closed his eyes on this world, he then opened them to the sound of "Well done, faithful servant".
As my mother taught me:
"May he rest in peace and rise in His glory."

Last time I ate at a buffet was about 15 years ago. I was in a China Buffet, and I had an awakening. As I was eating my food, I was watching a couple of fatties at the table next to me. They were pounding down fried Tempura Chicken, and dipping it in sweet and sour sauce. I witnessed both fatties licking their fingers clean, sucking the sauce off their fingers like they were lollipops. They then got up, went back to the buffet line, and started getting seconds, thirds, and so on. It dawned on me at that moment, that the same fingers they just got done sucking off, were the same fingers they were grabbing the serving spoons and tongs. I then watched the patrons in line behind them, grab the same spoons and tongs.
I looked around the room, and basically everyone was sucking their fingers, and going back to the buffet line. Over and over and over. Essentially, when you pick up the serving spoons or tongs, you're picking up hundreds of different bodily fluids. That was the last buffet plate I ever had. :-\
Buffets are gross. All those fat slobs chowing down.
Disgusting.

4 years since my last McDonald’s meal.
Maybe this summer I’ll have it again..
-
McDonald’s is garbage, but Bojangles is part of a well-balanced pre-contest diet. Getbig told me so

Had a Big Mac about a week ago after a 7-8 year hiatus, not the same sandwich.

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHH

I drink their coffee
1 large black coffee
At least once on the weekend
I also select table service and and sit and sip and watch how humanity continues its descent

Driving back from Myrtle beach we stopped at McDonald’s as we were starving and only thing we passed at that point. I had 3 cheeseburgers and a small fry it was delicious.

Would love to share a large fries with a select few Getbiggers

I'll only go when they have the Grand Mac.
It's a larger version of the Big Mac.
Haven't seen it in years.
And i used to eat 2-3 McRibs at a time.
Fight me. ;D

I think I remember that, didn’t they have the bigger Big Mac,then regular then the smaller one?
Never had a McRib, always seemed like it would be gross but I would like to try one.
Watch it overload, some people round here might take you up on this and rag doll you.

In my 20’s I was working retail management and I’d work over night once in awhile and my go-to was a McGriddle at 7am after not sleeping.
Such an indulgent idea for a meal.

Yeah they had 3 sizes for a promotion about 5-6 years ago.
McRibs aren't that great, but for some reason i enjoyed them.
