I think I get it. Is it like when a guy says he isn't attracted to fat women when he actually is?

I haven't eaten meat for twenty eight years. I cook fine chips, with two temperatures of oil. I tell some people how to cook their steak, or why boiling bacon is better than chops. If someone wants fish, I will chop gherkins and capers myself to make a decent tartare sauce. My take on this: would you trust someone who is 'too good' to eat fried lamb's testicles for breakfast? Well, can I trust you?

I love me some fat chicks! Well, chubby girls

But still, how do you know if someone is lying about what they like? I'd rather have a friend who tells a trivial white lie than someone who is suspicious of everything I say.

In that case, it's more for people you know personally.

It's like when a person is two-faced. They are friends with someone but talks bad about them behind their backs. They act as though they like them but don't really. It's those kinds of people you don't want to be around.

There's a difference between being "Too good" and just not liking it.

That said, who needs McDonalds when you have Supermacs?

That's a pretty good point. Sometimes when people say they don't like something, it's the truth, no need to dig any deeper than that. Especially if you're going to annoyingly question their honesty.

It seems this is less about McDonalds specifically and more about the OPs belief that people who disagree with anything that is backed by science and statistics are wrong to disagree with it or are lying. That's what I took from re-reading it.

McDonalds smells good and even I sometimes find myself craving a cheap burger or some cheap fries or a cheap chicken wrap. I don't make a habit of it--maybe once every year or two. McDonalds isn't the only offender in providing terribly composed food to people, though, so I don't single them out. I avoid potato chips, soda, candy, and overprocessed food to begin with, and live a happy life. I know people who eat McDonalds and fast food do as well, and I'm pretty sure almost everyone will crave a greasy gas station quality burger at least once in their lives.

It takes a lot for me to have some unless I'm really craving it, though. Usually when I quit eating a food, it's hard for me not to see each ingredient instead of what it creates, and then I feel kinda gross.

It tastes worse than alternatives that I can find. Why would I eat something that to me is inferior when I can have better alternatives? I'm happy to pay extra for a better meal. I want to enjoy the meal I buy - to get some taste and shock horror! Maybe even some nutrition out of it and don't care what percentage of the population are content to swallow that swill. If it's an issue of convenience then it takes five minutes to make some scrambled eggs with chives on toast. A mixed fruit salad is going to be better for me, taste (to me) far better and adds some variety and you can carry that with you. For a burger? Either hand make it or spend that bit extra for something with more quality if it's pre-prepared. If you're stuck on a motorway though then they've got you over a barrel if you don't have food with you. Can only hope that there's a burger van nearby. Sure it might not be a brand name but chances are the serving will be sensible, the price comparable and the quality better - at least that's been my experience.

I understand the sentiment, but I don't believe the issue is that black-and-white. Sure, there are people out there that will claim to have opinions because they think it makes them sound cool or smart and care more about the image they project than being true to themselves. There are a lot of reasons people do things like that, and not all of them are willfully disingenuous or malicious. You have to dig deeper than that to understand what a person is about.

Don't like McDonalds (although I love their fries, but that's about it). If I'm craving fast food, then I'll go for Sonics or Wendy's but never McDonalds. Nothing to do with being "too good for McDonalds" or trust.

I just think it's unhealthy so I stopped eating there been three years and I've lost twenty pounds still overweight but not by much

McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, I like all of it. To me that food is best treated as an occasional tasty snack and not a regular meal. Being seen in McDonald's is not something I give a flying toss about.

I don't think I'm "too good" for McDonalds, and even if I did, I wouldn't give a [censored] if anyone has a problem with it. My concern for my health > your unreasonable opinion of me.

I eat their food on rare occasion. I'm more of a fan of Burger King, but only for their Strawberry ice cream shakes.

Careful there, we've had some people post threads that would appear to be jokes, but they were dead serious about it.

I think McDonalds gets an unfair amount of heat, just because they are the biggest fast food chain. If you take anything from Mcdonalds, and compare it to its counterpart from lets say Wendy's, Wendy's is more unhealthy for you for almost everything, and usually costs more.

I know some people wont eat mcdonalds cus they wont get mold on them after being old. But that has not much to do with the food itself. Take burger meat harvested straight from a cow off the farm, and cook a tiny 2 and a half ounce patty with it till it's well done. It wont mold either. Food that is cooked all the way through usually wont mold. An overcooked steak wont mold, a rare stake will.

Sure all fast food in general isn't good for you, IF you dont burn off the calories. You can eat Mcdonalds every day for every meal, as long as you dont pig out AND you have an active enough lifestyle to burn all the calories off. That's where that Supersize Me movie is misleading. Theres a guy who did the exact same thing as supersize me, but didnt over eat like other buddy did (who actually threw up from eating too much at once) and excercised every day. After the 30 days, he was in tip top condition. If you want to see it for yourself, check it out, the movie is called Fat Head.

Still, I wouldnt go as far to say I don't trust somebody that doesnt eat Mcdonalds. Everyone's body works differently, and as my dad used to always tell me, "you gotta figure out how to drive your own badass self, nobody else can do it for you". Mcdonalds to some people may or may not cause a chemical inbalance, it all depends on the person.

I mean, everyone does have to have some balance to your diet, you cant be a pig, and its better not to eat fastfood all the time. But someone like me - who works anywhere from 8 to 11 hours a day, 6 days a week in a physical job that has me working hard all day, and has a wicked fast metabolism to boot - I can eat whatever the hell I want, and not gain any weight and stay in great shape all year round.

The key to life is moderation, too much of anything can kill you.

I only like bigmacs and their smoothies.

Back when I ate meat I used to avoid McDonalds. I found the food bland and unappetising. Other places made better burghers. It wasn't the worst fast food around but there was nearly always somewhere better.

Once you go on a good diet and wash the chemicals out of your system, they taste like wax.

People are addicted to the Fat, Salt, Sugar and HFCS that are packed into the food that comes from all these fast food places. Not the taste. I used to crave Quarter Pounders with Cheese. Ate a couple a week at least. After losing 130 pounds and changing what I eat, I avoid this place. Lately I go to McDonalds about once every 2 or 3 months for lunch. I can't eat a QP any more It does not taste good to me.

Note, I can go to another place, where they grind the meat and make a quality burger, which has the same calories for sure, and like the flavor of it. But, I also get full eating that one before I finish it. I usually only can eat half of it. Difference is, there is no High Fructose Corn Syrup telling my body to ignore the hunger satisfied signals.

If somebody wants to eat at McDonalds, that's fine by me. Personally, I wouldn't touch their food with a ten foot pole, but that mostly because I worked there when I was much younger, I saw first hand what happens when their food touches the floor. (It wasn't thrown away, that's for damn sure).

Never again will I touch their food.

Yeah, I realize that now.


But, to be fair, the OP wasn't completely serious, McDonald's was just a metaphor, if it was replaced with a generic example it would have seemed much less like a joke.

I can dig it Dalek, people can make legitimate points about how healthy McDonalds food really is but nobody can really deny that it tastes good - certainly for what it probably is. I love the occasional Breakfast Wrap or Big Mac.

Unfortunately though I'm moving somewhere were there isn't a convenient one around, if anything that will make the odd time I get to enjoy one all the better.

I love McDonalds because it's cheap and tastes good. To me.

I have it maybe every month.

I would disagree greatly. It's very easy to deny its flavor. The fries are too salty, the burgers are dry and sandwiched between two pieces of plastic with plastic cheese on top, chicken nuggets look vaguely meatlike once you open them up but taste like nothing is between the breading until you douse them with sauces, the eggs are clearly poured not cracked into their breakfast sandwiches, their lettuce is too sugar-coated to taste natural, the pop is (as with most everywhere) watered down... Shall I go on?
