The McDonald’s CEO was reportedly paid $13,750,000.69 last year.

(Well, maybe not that last 69 cents.)

Somehow, I never expected him to say he’s stopped eating Big Macs........

His personal chef probably makes a Kobe beef/fois gras version.

A cheese burger, small fries, and Diet Coke is what I get when I go there.
Vastly different than making a different choice and choosing a Big Mac; large fries, and sugary soda.

There are choices we can all make; just by the degree of what we do and common sense.

Another corporation who’s in bed with the Obammy agenda. CocaCola as well. I’ve seen their hurl-tastic TV ad about obesity. Fascists.

yes, well... this CEO guy appears to have enough smarts to avoid saying he doesn’t eat Big Macs, but wouldn’t it be fun to see a McDonald’s CEO say that? ha!

this brings to mind, long after he sold his business to a big corporation, Col. Saunders was sitting in one of said franchises ... and picked up a piece of said chicken... and took one bite... and reportedly spit it out and said it tasted like “SH*T!” -— apparently a news reporter was sitting at the next table? Anyway there were news reports along those general lines... but of course he was no longer running the show. (As for me, I just LOVE the taste of their chicken, its a great recipe, but regretfully no longer can keep it down ... one’s digestion gets more sensitive as one “matures,” alas... I wish I could still eat it, its delicious!!!!)

For us lesser mortals, who sit at desks all day long, you can get treadmill desks installed and walk while you work.

Harland Sanders went on the record several times about the poor quality of the food after he sold the company.

Probably he doesn't eat big macs. Kids can though, if they run out and play afterward. I frequently get the salad with grilled chicken for lunch. It is about 400 calories including dressing, and tastes great. About 5 bucks with coffee.

But.....but........he eats at McDonald’s every day, but lost weight???

The liberals point to that guy who made a documentary of eating there every day for a month, and that guy gained weight, had high cholesterol and other health problems coming up.

Who will liberals believe, the CEO or a docu drama movie maker?

This guy is great! Yep I have McDonald’s Stock!!!!!! I have had it for over 20 years. It is a great stock to have because it is a company that is recession proof for the most part.

The new chicken wraps are excellent and just 440-600 calories.

It’s a full meal, even for a 6’3” guy like me. One of those with a large diet drink is under $4.50; including tax.

Try it once and you’ll go back again and again.

This documentary about a guy who ate at McDonalds every day for a month and lost weight backs up the CEO: http://www.fathead-movie.com/
