| kellychaos | Fat people are the next people to be persecuted by insurance companies and employers after they get done working over the smokers. | |

i spent $4 at mcdonals yesterday and got! 1 mcchicken 1 dbl cheeseburger (i'd hit it) 2 apple pies 1 small drink which all came out to 1700 calories in total which is really a bargain if you ask me btw, they changed their 'I'd hit it' ads to something else, it starts with a g ;< |

it is possible that you are a colossal idiot? this is far from the first time that mcdonalds has come 'under fire' for being bad for you, and the last time it happened they added 'adult happy meals' that were way less bad for you than their normal menu on account of the bad rap. |

Is it possible that its a marketing thing? What better way to get your name fresh in the minds of people than to put it on the news about it being bad. Then people will go to see just HOW bad the food really is, They can make back the money they lose in a lawsuit in less than a year so in essence there probably making more money and getting publicity. |

That's why I replace all my salt with talc. Cause it contains most of the same letters. |

All of this is tangential to the REAL problem, which is not the fat, but the sodium content of the prepared filth we love to eat. A MEDIUM #2 extra value meal contains over 80% of the US recommended limit % Daily Value of sodium for a 2000 calorie diet, according to a quick check of http://mcdonalds.com.  That's my regular (with no onions please) too. Plus I think the 2005 dietary guidelines said that they've been saying previous sodium DV limits have been too high.

I wasn't talking about McDonald's, necessarily. If you go to the grocery store and buy three meals' worth of fresh food/meat/produce, it'll cost a lot more than three days' worth of canned/prepared/processed foods. In the absence of the money/time issue, though, I agree 100% that ours is a culture of convenience. |

I think that it's more the laziness factor. I can pick up a lot of fresh produce for the same price that I would pay for a McDonald's meal. Buying a family of three a meal from McDonals is anywhere from one fifth to one third of a weekly grocery bill depending on how frugal the grocery shopper is. |

| jimbutsu | It's MUCH cheaper to eat poorly, especially when you look at the time involved in preparing healthy food (because very little ready prepared food is anywhere close to good for you). The working poor are probably the main reason the obesity rates in the US are so high. | |

| kellychaos | Is it actually cheaper to eat carbohyrdrates, fatty and processed foods? Seems like a growing number of lower income people are getting fat. | |

Perhaps the people who are REALLY upset about the lawsuit that's been filed should claim that their righteous indignation over the suit has injured them in some way*, band together, and get a class action lawsuit going against the numbskulls that are trying to sue McDonalds... * "I was so angry about those fools suing McDonalds for their poor eating habits that I couldn't concentrate at work and lost my job!" For an extra slice of irony, make it a job at a McDonalds. |

| Immortal Goat | They are responsible to the extent of cooking thier food in the equivalent of pure fat, but that is it. People do not need to eat there, people are not forced to eat there, and people shouldn't eat there. Everyone knows this, and that is why people are to blame for this fiasco. McDonalds is simply making money off of people who don't care about thier health, which at this point in history, is most of America. | |

| the_dudefather | i bet if someone tried to sue some family owned fast food place which 'made them fat' they wouldnt even be granted a case, but mcDonalds is a massive 'evil' organisation which TRICKS you into eating | |

Can't we just kill people for making ridiculous lawsuits like this? It'll teach other people not to do the same thing.
