Off Topic Fast food

[Black Belt Jones 1]

Man is it just me or does fast food all suddenly taste like sh1t? Seems like I cant eat at mcdonalds buger king sonic dairy queen or anywhere without suffering for 10 hours with indigestion. I used to love to eat fast food burgers and all that crap but for some reason it seems that the quality of fast food has went down the toilet. Your thoughts?

[Stranger]

You're tasting the anthrax.

I don't get mad.
I get stabby.

I agree about McDonalds, their food quality has gone into the toilet. I never eat there any more.
I still eat at Jack in the Box and Carl jrs. Mostly because they are close to work and convenient.

I haven't had fast food from those places in more than a year, except for the Yogurt parfait from McD's--that's pretty good.

Surrender yourself to nature and be all that you are.

[Shaolin36]

That may be why! When your body gets used to not eating that greasy crap and then you subject yourself to it, you body rejects it. I had an experience with this. I never eat fast food and I went to Carls Jr for their star burger(that **** commercial) and ate but was sick for the next 4 hours. I just stay away now.

wendy's are all closed down in the uk. no one goes to burger king cos it's about £2-3 more for less than u get in mcd's. There's only mcd's or kfc, and the chips are wack at kfc. Plus, i get a free cheeseburger with md's, when i buy a meal, cos i am the shiznit.

Having said that, i never usually eat that stuff.

Question: if you get a proper kebab, surely it's not fattening? I don't mean that spit roasted processed ****, i mean a shish kebab - naan bread and pure chicken breast and lots of salad - surely that's not unhealthy, non?

However, i live near a Domino's pizza :(

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

Fast food is by definition slurried pigsh*t. If you're serious about MA and keeping in shape you'll stay away from that junk. Soft drinks too.

I know what you mean, though. I haven't eaten at any of those places on a regular basis for five years. Jeez, I can't even remember the last time I drank a whole Coca-Cola--over a year maybe? When I do eat fast food now (and it's extremely rare) I always am sick with indigestion until I sh*t that stuff out of my body.

By the way, I NEVER eat at MD's, especially after some of my students told me they always had to chase away the mice in the morning. Seems the little critters had a penchant for eating tunnels into--and then falling asleep with--full bellies in the bread bun sacks....

Mmm! Good old Mickey-D's! With an export like that, is it any wonder other countries hate us so much...?

I like Subway. The veggie sub on wheat with EVERYTHING...except cheese, is good. Wendy's has baked potatos and decent salads. I don't usually like the McSalad Shakers at McDonalds...they keep them too long and the lettuce gets nasty, but I suppose it could be ok if somehow you caught a fresh one. (Note: I disapprove of McDonalds in general, due to their ridiculous attempts to push a political agenda. So, it's the LAST place I go if I've got a choice...which with a 3yr old son I often don't. :rolleyes: )

[Johnny Hot Shot]

One Big Mac has 1350 calories.

That's a fat burger.

Kebabs are good for you , Just as long as you don't eat too many. ;)

The Donner / Shish / Chicken Kebab question has trobled me for a while too. The yanks don't get it cuz they aint got the delicacy that is Kebab shops over there....

Anyway, I reckon you are right - a shish or chicken kebab isn't as harmful as a doner. doner is almost 100% pure fat and crap. At least with the others you are getting recognisable chicken and/or lamb. pitta bread, salad and a bit of chilli sauce can't hurt too much after that. (Can it?)

I know you want any sort of kebab after a few pints of Stella - but try to remember that CHICKEN is better than DONER. I know its hard you're a bit gubbed but it also looks good with the laydeeez.

round my way -the order is:-

1) Indian take away - Lamb Kadie (mmmmmm...)
2) fish Supper from the Park Chippie
3) Chines Takeaway
4) Khans kebab Shop
5) Burger king
6) KFC (20 mile drive)
7) McDonalds

My last post didn't read too well did it? ( Just back from the pub........)

I reckon its harder to be a good martial artist here as the temptation is greater - booze, kebabs, women with natural blondce hair instead of cheesy highlights......

I've noticed that there are certain fast food restaurants at which I can't eat. Burger King, Zaxby's, Chili's, all make me extremely ill. McDonald's I have never liked. Arby's and KFC have begun to make me ill as well. Pizza Hut always gives me indigestion. The Sonic's okay, but I'm afraid to eat at Checker's. I don't eat at Chik-Fil-A because they are bigoted religiously prejudiced Jesus freak zealots. And Dairy Queen is a non-option because I don't like getting halfway through my aerated presoftened half melted conglomeration of pseudo desert and finding half of a ****roach. And I simply refuse to eat at Krystal any more because the last two times I went there, it smelled like feces. The first time, I thought maybe someone just cut a really bad ****, but the second time it was the unmistakable and oppressive odor of ****.

Just about the only fast food restaurant at which I can eat any more is Taco Bell, strangely enough.

So I pretty much eat at home all the time.

Soft drinks, however, are something I am pretty much addicted to. I bought a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi this afternoon around 4pm, and finished it off about 30 minutes ago. And every day, I drink at least two 20 oz. bottles of some carbonated sugar product. I used to work in a restaurant, and drank about 2 gallons (literally) of Mountain Dew every day. I'd just drink that stuff like it was water. And I still couldn't get enough. I'm trying to cut back to 1 20 oz. bottle per day, but it's pretty difficult.

I feel ya on the krystal thing *nasty* sounds like you have a drinking prob, bud. Ever thought about joining sodaholics anonymous?

I guess I'm lucky, I have an iron stomach. I can eat pretty much anything at any time and not feel ill. I can't recall the last time I had indigestion, probably only a few times in my life. But then again, I'm a young one(24), and I know it gets worse with age, woo hoo! :p

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about
life. IT GOES ON.

[Black Belt Jones 1]

You said Mcdonalds has a political agenda, could you elaborate on that a bit Im curious.

[rogue]

There is nothing as bad looking as a jack in the box taco, and nothing better tasteing.

You guys are forgetting White Castle, whose burgers are nicknamed "sliders" for good reason.

Sam,

I was reading recently about sodas- they are extremely bad for you! Aside from the sugar and caffeine content, they are extremely acidic. A healthy body should be more alkiline then acidic, and it takes alot of alkaline food/body effort to counterbalance the acidity of one soda. Also, I think I read/heard once that Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine content of any soda (except for maybe jolt).

Go forward, my son, and
be like unto a torch
upon the darkness. Thou
are stripped now, of all
that was before. Look
not to thy fellow men
for guidance or
countenance- they canst
advise you no longer.
Thou shalt be as dust
now, and dust shall be
upon the tongues of thy
enemy. Verily, thou
shalt herald the coming
of the new age upon
man."

[Fish of Fury]

well, i eat falafel rolls, and i reckon they've gotta be better than Macca's (which is total crap)

i have a question sharky, mcd's may be wack, but is it pants , do you think?
:D

As far as I know, what you read was absolutely correct. In addition to this, many sodas, mostly fruit flavored ones it seems, have brominated vegetable oil as an ingredient. Bromine is a sanitizer, but it is a sanitizer mainly used in swimming pools and spas. Trust me on this, I work on pools and spas for a living. This past summer, I nearly choked to death on a cloud of bromine gas, which in my opinion is far worse than chlorine. I don't completely understand why vegetable oil would be included in a soft drink, but I know that bromine is deadly. Of course, I did not know that pool sanitizer was being put into my favorite soft drink during the period when I was drinking several gallons of it a day. If I had known that I would not have consumed it at all. And nowadays, it affects my choice of drink to the point that I completely read the label on a bottle before I try it.

As they say, buyer beware.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know what happens to me as I quit drinking the stuff. I started seriously cutting back this weekend. I already notice caffeine withdrawal, fatigue, and mood swings.

I feel sorry for the people that cannot eat an In-N-Out Double Double cooked animal style. Is it good for you? Defintely not! If you're going to eat fast food, though, go for the best...

Being close to the border means that there are a lot better options for good mexican food aside from Taco Bell and Jack in the Box tacos. Give me a California Burrito or a Carne Asada Burrito over any fast food chain (other than In-N-Out of course).

Black Belt Jones 1,

It is my understanding that the higher ups in the McDonald's corporation support gun control legislation.
I KNOW that Gillette, NBC, McDonalds, and Kodak all declined to sponsor the US Shooting Team for the 1996 Olympics due to their anti-gun sentiments.
