I actually agree with EVERYTHING they said.

While on the Adkins diet, I lost gobs of weight, had more energy and but for the first week or two, felt great! Had my cholesterol checked while I was on it too and my cholesterol level actually dropped.

I wouldn't go as far as saying  McDonalds food would make you thin tho...lol. Unless you ate just the burger and nothing else ;o). The FRIES is what gets ya!

McDonalds does have good fries - they always have.  However, it's hard to believe that there is meat in the burgers.  It doesn't taste like meat to me.  I don't do fast-food much anymore generally.  It doesn't taste like it used to.

I don't know why there is such a witch hunt against McDonalds alone. Foods from Pizza hut, KFC, Sonic and BK as well as foods from the grocery stores can put weight on a person if moderation is not applied. Yes, you can eat well at Mickey D's if you make good choices. People need to be responsible for themselves not others being responsible for them. No one holds a gun to one's head to over do it with food or anything else for that matter. Mommy and daddy can't follow behind a person all their lives.

I don't do fast food anymore either. Blech. ;o)

you're really thin after you're in a casket awhile.

Men in  white coats are paid by multinational fast food companies to confuse the public about their product. Remember tobacco companies? I'd rather get my info. from more reliable sources such as the The American Heart Association, American Dietetic Association and the American Kidney Fund, who have all published statements warning about the various dangers associated with low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets (ie Atkins)..from Physicians for Responsible Medicine report: http://www.atkinsdietalert.org/advisory.html

If that's not enough to turn you off fast foods howz about:

Employees caught on camera pouring milk into the milkshake machine out of a bucket labeled “Soiled Towels Only.” They worked in a McDonalds which had already been cited for 12 different sanitary violations.  Burger King is actually ranked as the dirtiest of all the fast food chains.

I agree with your comment JackieD.

Only one point to extend: Dirtyness in restaurants is not a problem only in Fast Food chains.

We have in Berlin for almost a year a public report on restaurants, fast food chains and other places, where food is sold. This is a new project by the local government at this moments based only in the quarter where I live but it already generated a lot of talk and some shocks for the customers. Even in some expensive restaurants they found some horrible dirt. If you want to look at the pictures, they were published recently:

You don't have to understand the German words. In most cases the view speaks for itself. The good thing is for customers you choose carefully where you eat, you just have to look in the internet for it and those dirty pubs or restaurants are closed until they meet the cleaning standard. Good for tourist business too.
