Has anyone tried the WINTER special, Double Quater Pound Cheese burger, something like that... I must admit its quite good. Usually MCD can be compared to rubbish but that burger acutally was quite satisfying.

Double Quarter Pounder With Cheese? That's a standard menu item over here

where? i got it in england and its limited edition... in fact im holging one with my left hand and typinh with right. im really lovin it

I had one of those about half an hour ago in-fact!

In North America.

I've just had a Whopper Meal from Burger King

Yummy... trans fat artery clogging goodness.

Am I missing something, quarter pounder with cheese isn't a limited edition thing.

<edit> ah nevermind, I see, you said double.



You're a pleasent person aren't you

I havn't tried it and don't intend to. I havn't eaten in McDonalds for years.

Gah.. why would you want to put that crap in your body?

I've been clean for over a year now.

...for breakfast?! WHY?????

Man, you guys are all making me hungry...stop it! I'm trying to not spend money, but now I want to go to McD's.

Alex is in the UK which is 5 hours ahead of EST.

It was 2:11pm when he said that. Only my housemate has breakfast at that time.

I don't get why it is called a double quarter pounder. Why not just call it a half pounder? Or does a half pounder have to be a full half pound lump of meat to qualify?

Anyway, urgh, urgh, urgh and urgh. How much fat is in one of those? Here, here for the person who said about clogging arteries. Just what the UK (and certainly USA) needs with the current obesity issues!

Oh, here you go...

Nice

For men, that one burger contains just over 50% of your RDA for calories, 50% of your RDA for fat, 99% of your RDA for saturated fats and 50% of your RDA for salt.

McDonalds? I'd rather have an owl regurgitate half a shrew into my mouth.

LOL, Lovely.

I believe that's a delicacy in some countries.

What's wrong with going the market, getting fresh fruit, veg and meat, benefiting your taste buds and the people who supply it? McDonalds is just like smoking. It's a bad habbit.

Have it once in a while, however.

I am guessing, that just like you said, it is because you get two pieces of meat each one being a quarter of a pound instead of one piece of half a pound.

Argh...I saw Alex's post and then read Davy's really quickly. My eyes blurred them into one while I was reading it.

...oops...

My god, everyone get off your bloody soap boxes.

Oh no, someone had a burger once, quick everyone lecture them

But without middle class liberal snobbery I have nothing :'( :'( :'(

LOL, some people are just passionate about healthy eating Stephen.

Just saying, was there really any need for holier than thou posts like

No where did he say he doesn't have fruit and veg; or even imply that he has McDonalds often, in fact he implied the opposite



but people seemed to feel the need to preach and lecture.

For the record, yes I agree with healthy eating, but preaching to people for just mentioning fast food isn't going to get them eating healthier food and the last time I had anything from McDonalds would have been 9-10 months ago.

Nah, the Angus burger just owns.

apologises -- i'm in a rather weird mood.

Are those onion rings in that Angus Burger

hehe, I like Rikki's comment. I've been clean for nearly six years myself.

That particular one as well has about 211% percent of my daily protein requirement... plus, you know, the whole vegan thing.... so I don't think I'll be trying it anytime.

I don't really think it's a case of healthy eating much... I'm not a health freak. I eat burgers and so on. But it's the fact McDonalds is trash food, with trash practices. I love Pizza Express which is anything but healthy, and I love proper burgers. But McDonalds really is just rubbish. I'm not lecturing anyone about it, I just don't understand why people would spend money on it when there's better (in terms of quality, whether you want it healthy or not) alternatives.

Mmmmmmmmmm, deep fat fried lard wrapped in a bun, with a *touch* of salt. My mouth is watering.

Then I suppose it's a good thing no one is forcing you to eat it.

As for me, I pick a random vegetarian, and for every steak they don't eat, I buy three.

I always go to a mc donalds when I go to the UK. However I usually get a veggie burger if they do them, which isn't that un-healthy... fast food is a treat for us guernsey people

I doubt it will look anything like that if you go and buy one. They always make them look nicer in the adverts.

It doesn't, but it is a nice burger... compared to others you get from mcd/bk

I have to admit, i do like the odd burger from these places every now and then. It's easy when you've not got time to go to a restaurant or make something yourself...

Saturated and unsaturated fat aren't that bad... but, the transfat IS really bad...

McD's is trash to me. I love a good fast food meal, but not McD's. I'm all about Chick-Fil-A, Arby's, Wendy's. In that order.

Only thing from McD's worth anything is breakfast.

I prefer Burger King.

Anyone likes/knows cheeburger cheeburger?

Yummy!

That's got nothing on the BK Quad Stacker

I, and others I know, eat quite a bit of fast food. None of us are unhealthy, or even borderline overweight. It's not the food you need to worry about, it's the exercise. Sure, eating McD's and other fast food and then playing video games for a couple hours is bad for you... But exercising every-so-often helps a great deal.



Nothing is wrong with it...


What's the big concern with what food looks like? I could really care less... Just so long as I don't starve to death

Im in love with that stacker!

I agree with you. McD's is at the bottom of the fast food chain to me. I love Chick-Fil-A's chicken sandwich with no pickles, and their waffle fries - it's very good, and I always get that whenever I go to Chick-Fil-A. Arby's is good, I always get their any five items for $5.95 deal, and I like that. I never really go to Wendy's. I also like Whataburger and Sonic a lot, as they both serve some good food as far as fast food is concerned.

Chik-Fil_A is to expensive for what you get IMO....
Wendys is 1337 =D
I like McDonalds though but not all the time I am more of the guy who likes to cook.

I thought RDA for calories was more around the 2500 range. Not 1400?

The main reason that McDonalds is so popular is not because of food quality (Wendy's owns hamburgers, Subway owns healthy(er) eating), it's just how available it is. Drive around here and you will see at least 1 McD at least every 2 km.

Don't go to BK much, but whenever I go next I do want to get that...

Arby's is my favorite. There's a "fancy" one nearby... carpeted floors, nice wood finished tables... you wouldn't think it was a fast food place
