Do you guys have McDonalds in your country, or at least around the are where you live? What are your favorite things to get off of their menu?

Personally, I don't eat much fast food, but when I do I generally get a side salad, McChicken, and a Iced Mocha Frappe

What about you?

The only thing I would eat at McDonalds is the breakfast and the ice cream cones. Other than that, nothing else really. If anything, this song explains McDonalds the best:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWsWP9bPAg...

I used to be fat when I was child and some of it could be blamed on McDonalds. I admit, I did like their food but I stopped. Wouldn't want to eat most of their food anyway with their chemical and preservative infested garbage and grade B beef. Eat a lot of that stuff and.....well, this song will help explain that:

when it comes to fast food, i'll go with Wendy's or maybe even White Castle but McDonalds, maybe a breakfast sandwich and that's it but nothing more.

Mickey-Ds hasn't touched these lips in many years. I...don't think I've seen any unhealthier food in my life. McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc....it's all garbage but McDonalds is in a category of its own. It's far worse than any other fast food chain out there. You've got french fries that has been known to cause some form of cancer in regular eaters on top of the obesity problem. They aren't exactly known for having the cleanest food either (reason I stopped was because I found a piece of plastic in my food).

That's enough of that...I'd get a diet coke if I were ever to walk in there. That's about it :p

We have maccas (as its known here colloquially) everywhere in Australia.

When i used to live out in the burbs they were everywhere due to the demographic. Now im closer to the city they are not as common because we have many vibrant cafe and restaurant districts serving better quality food across the city. Why would you eat maccas when there are many healthier options.

As dain says, it is garbage.

The last time i had it was a forced freeway toilet stop on a road trip at xmas. My wife in a moment of madness went and got some fries and a mcflurry while my boy played in the kids play park. Im convinced the slippery slide there was the most nutritious thing on the premises. Honestly, the mcflurry shake was the most disgusting thing thats passed my lips since the last time something past my lips that was going in the other direction... ..(think about it), it went in the bin immediately.

The fries; well i love a potato chip as much as the next man but these things are an fat infused abomination. I ate a few though cos i was hungry and on road trips you are allowed to eat bad food. Its the law.

When i was younger i used to love cheese burgers. I guess id try one again one day. But it would only be if there was no other option.

I hate MacDonalds. The food is like eating plastic.

Unfortunately for them, here in Greece we have a Greek fast food chain called "Goody's". They are far more better than MacDonalds, better food quality, better serving (they use real cutlery and not plastic ones) etc.

Website here: www.goodysnet.com/...



As for MacDonald's... When there was one in my city in the distant past (it close down because people were preferring Goody's hehe), I used to enjoy the Apple Pie and I also like the Big Mac Menu (how ordinary :P). Generally I feel MacDonalds are way overestimated!

Of course we have each one of those Mcdonald's in every area of my city. Since ours is a huge city though or Metro city you can call. It is good to be honest not so extremely good. But i have coke,normal french fries and a Mcaloo(potato)- Tikki(which means probably it is potato cutlet u get here) Burger. Rates are really low during the afternoon. You get it starting from 1$ here. Nowadays for that rate comes only between 12pm to 3 pm in the afternoon after that they stop it.

But i have stopped going there because of which it has made me a little fattier :p. But nevertheless i have decreased it :P. Honestly it is liking plastic there totally agreed with what niko and dain said.

So i have stopped going to Mcdonalds. Still i wonder why people go there again and again.

Do you know that diet coke is actually unhealthy too? It result in a higher risk of heart diseases.


We have macdonald in every district of Singapore.

My favourite will be the Mcspicy set with milo( chocolate drink). I love the harshbrown too :)

My burger consists of real chicken.

My fav's are the maharaja mac and a Mc Chicken.

The vegetarian burgers taste pretty much like meat :)

KFC has damn nice chicken.

Mc Donald's restaurants in Romania are located most of them inside the big supermarket, perfect to go out with friends and loved ones but we should always remember not to exaggerate with fast-food, because it can be harmful for our heart.

What consistent evidence shows that? :)

Time to lay down the knowledge...

Diet coke, like any other diet soda drink out there, is sweetened by sucralose (sweet n low for the layman) and contains phenylalanine, another sweetener containing traces of aspartame (a known health concern...for certain individuals). If you read on the side of any diet coke can that you pick up, you'll notice that there's a warning about the ingredient phenylalanine. This warning is only aimed at people that are sensitive to this ingredient, such as people suffering from PKU (phenylketonuria), a disorder that doesn't allow people to metabolize phenylalanine (kinda how dogs can't metabolize chocolate). If you are not suffering from PKU and are also not sensitive to any of the other ingredients found in diet soda, there is no risk of drinking it ;)

The closet one to me i would say is a service station about 5 minutes away from me and when i have one personally it's a treat basis not one every week like i know some who do that but me i would say every 3-4 months

When i do go rarely i get myself a chicken wrap , mcflurry and a coke but before people say wow i only have one on a treat base's and could go over a year without having one it's doesn't bother me and i am not that fussed by them but i like them not as much to be obessed with them.

It's okay as a treat i say but if your having one quite a lot stay clear.

Finally KFC over mcdonaldos personally

Gotta try that. And now, i'll be off to Wendy's because "you know when it's real". And I know this one guy who was a manager at a Wendy's and can confirm the food is real. Good ol' Dave Thomas always wanting what was right for the people, may he rest in peace.

The human body naturally produces phenylalanine (it's an amino acid). Diet soda is a risk to those that have a disorder with this amino acid and can't metabolize it from external sources, such as diet soda. There's really no risk...there's rumors about it being the cause of livers failing and all that but the people who suffer from such a thing were the same people that had no business touching diet soda. It's pretty safe...anyone that isn't sensitive to aspartame should be safe to drink diet soda.

I have 4 MC D's in my city, I visit them maybe once a month or less with a few friends. The Mc Rib and Fish-O-Filet taste quite good but apart from that there are other fast food restaurants which are worth visiting and eating in it.

Yea, their smoothies are good too. I forgot about that. I also forgot to mention I'd also get their water bottles and coffee as well. As for the smoothies, it is real fruit from doing some research but the fruit has added refined sugar which is sort of bad. If it was natural cane sugar or "turbinado" like they add at the smoothies at Tropical Smoothie, then it would be better.
