Somebody needs to splain McDonald’s that they are in business to make money, not make us healthier. If we wanted to be healthier, we wouldn’t eat there.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Besides, kids aren't getting fat due to the number of fries in a Happy Meal (I'm guessing burger, small fries, drink = 700 calories or so). Cutting that by 150 calories isn't going to make a difference unless the kid eats 10 Happy Meals per week.

"If we wanted to be healthier, we wouldn’t eat there."

LOL, reminds me of a buddy that went off on a McDonald's manager one night. We were waiting for our order to come up and it was taking much longer than normal. My friend was getting a little antsy and ask what the hold up was. The manager (picture Jim Carrey in the Cable Guy) sensing my friend starting to get annoyed, turned to him, trying to ease some tension, smiled and said, "Good things take time..."

My buddy launched into him, "I DON'T EF'IN' WANT GOOD FOOD, I WANT FAST FOOD!!! IF I WANTED GOOD FOOD I"D GO TO A RESTAURANT! THIS IS EF'IN' MCDONALD'S FOR GOD SAKE, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FAST!!!"

An older guy at a nearby table almost choked on his french fries, he laughed so hard.

You don't think they will be raising the price?
