The director of nutrition for McDonald’s is insisting that the menu offered at the fast food chain is healthy.

Speaking about the launch of the new McWrap, Dr Cindy Goody said healthy eating is a top priority at the franchise.

McDonald’s Corp. has been stepping up the pace of its new menu offerings as it struggles to grow sales in the challenging economy. Last year, the company ousted the head of its U.S. division after a monthly sales figure fell for the first time in nearly a decade. …

I could live on McDonald’s coffee. Odd how a fast food chain has such great coffee. Is the brand like some big secret?

What about banning people who have Medicaid from eating fast food?

Or buying junk food at the grocery store, too.

Oh how many times have I seen the morbidly obese riding the fat scooter at Walmart, with purple shins, ankles, and feet, filling the cart full of sodapop, Little Debbies, and frozen pizza?

You know damn well they are on Medicare/Medicaid and Food Stamps. And we're all paying for their irresponsible behavior.

Ask yourself what's in a Big Mac. Damn good nourishment for a normal human that doesn't park his ass on the couch all day.

Well late Friday night I ordered 3 Teriyaki chicken bowls and 2 tacos for later Saturday meals from Jack-in-the-box. They put like 4-5 small measly pieces of non-grilled chicken on top of dried, tasteless rice and the tacos were greasy, hard and very little meat inside. Utter garbage and a big waste of $17.00. On top of that I had to remind the attendants twice to add in packets of teriyaki and hot sauce plus napkins. Basura food served by idiots for not a little bit of money. I’m done with them.

Sometimes, you just want mcDonald's, especially if you were a kid of the 70s or 80s and remember when eating it was a treat. Hell, we used to have a field day in our elementary school and you paid, like, $1.50 and got a burger, small fries and that dreadful orange drink. We looked forward to that day all year. Can you even imagine such a thing now? They'd get kale chips with a tirkey on wheat and you'd have to bring in $11 to cover the cost of the deadbeat kids who are deemed to unfortunate to ever pay for anything.

I really detest what this country has become. Soul suckers. A nation of souls suckers.

More like ‘Jacinto’-in-the Box these days with almost all south-of-the-border employees. Always double check your items at the drive through window. Better yet just drive on past it.

McDonald’s coffee was supplied for many years by a family operation Gavina. I am not sure if it still is, but I think so. I am always amazed by the McDonald’s haters and fast food snobs, I worked there for twenty two years and never had a weight problem, or medical issues related to the food! And for those who can’t figure it out, I was management and worked over nine hours a day and had all my meals there during a shift. Anyone that has no impulse control or common sense will get fat eating just about anything!

The biggest problem I have with McDonalds, is that I go to their place of business and I see this picture of a sandwich.

The sandwich has meat hanging outside the bun. nice thick chunk of meat.

Then I get the sandwich and have to search for this thin tire patch they call a burger. I get the $1,00 chicken sandwich, it isn’t bad.You can actually see the meat.

The new McWrath?

Dr. Goody?

Big Macs are healthy?

McDonalds hired Tokyo Rose's Grand Daughter?

Yeah, it is called "Clean the coffee maker". If you go to McDees around 3:30am you can't get a coffee because they are scrubbing the machine.

If you have time to lean, you have time to clean!

Reminds me of the scene in the movie 'Falling Down' with Michael Douglas. He is in a burger joint and gets his burger
and makes a big scene it doesn't look like the picture and starts shooting up the place.

That’s interesting. MCD doesn’t have “un-sweet tea” here in LA. i specifically asked.

Or maybe it was the new coffee drinks. The have one’s with fake-sugar but not un-sweet taste.
