The food Nazi's strike again.

Super Size Me

Supersizing your burger or fries is no longer the 'in' thing to do.

Now it's 'supersizing' the male sex organ... If a guy took all of the potions and pills to enhance his tool, he'd need a wheel barrow just to get around...

[BigSkyFreeper]

Just damn. McDonald's isn't a place where you should find "well balanced meals", and it should be the last place you should find a salad bar.

[ladyinred]

Oh come on McDonald's, don't give into the ridiculous food nazi's! This sets a dangerous precedent. You don't stop a bully by backing down, you encourage him to do more.

Was anybody ever forced to Supersize their order? I seem to recall making the choice...hmmmmm...talk about a nanny-state!

I'd imagine that, since fries and drinks are cheap, losing the supersize feature is going to cost them a bit of money. Just pointing that out. I might be wrong but I don't think so.

[Skwidd]

It's ok--I'll just order two.

[Fledermaus]

And in an related story, McDonald's soon to go out of business!

When, not if, they go bankrupt, they have no one to blame but themselves.

The hamburger giant is phasing out its trademark Supersize fries and drinks in its U.S. restaurants as part of an effort to simplify its menu and give customers choices that support "a balanced lifestyle," a company spokesman said yesterday.

Guess we arent smart enough to say no when the kid at the drive thru asks us if we want it supersised.

I don't need McDonald's becoming my nutricinists. Good grief. This is rediculous. Liberals always thaink they are sooooo d*** smart. Just stick to fries and hamburgers and I'll worry about my self, thank you.

Before starting on the Atkins plan, when hitting a Mickey-D's on road trips, Mrs. kevkrom and myself would typically get one "super-size" meal plus an additional sandwich and just split the fries and the drink.

[HungarianGypsy]

Well, so much for a cheap meal? When my family of six goes to McDonald's we usually get about three of the supersized fries to share.

[RightWhale]

That's why I own McDonalds. They are in touch with the consumer base. Every day. In person. Customer by customer.

[Final Authority]

When I was a kid and we would have pot roast dinner on Sunday we would eat meat, a lot of it, mashed potatoes with lots of gravy, some squash or turnip, milk, and some salad possibly. At a burger joint you get the meat and potatoes, a veggie if one orders a side salad, and milk if one choses, and some bread. What's the problem? What it the problem is, is that the food is too cheap, too easy to get, we have it too often, and parents do not order milk and salads for their children, and we over eat. It is not the fault of the food.

***NEWS FLASH***

McDonald's has just announced a restructuring of their ValueMeals - All Large-size orders will now cost the same as Super-Size orders.

This is to help consumers feel as though they are still getting Super-Sized, without the calories.
