Adult Happy Meal

Posted on 05.13.04. Tagged with , , All

Haaaaaaaaaaaa. I just saw a commercial for McDonald's new 'Adult Happy Meals'. They include a salad, bottle of water and a pedometer. They are looking to improve their image and prove to America that they care about our health. Pfffft.

I hate McDonalds. I am the minority in America I know, but I havent eaten McDonalds for years and I'm just fine. I used to eat quarter pounder value meals atleast once a week back in middle school (and was coincidentally my chubby period) but during high school it stopped appealing to me. The last time I had it was about 3 years ago and my stomach (honest to god) couldn't handle the filth and I ended up throwing it all up. Just the smell of all that grease makes me quesy these days, which is unfortunate since one of my future roommates thrives on fastfood (esp McD's). Take the Taylor challenge and stop eating McDonalds altogether, your body will thank you for it.

I also read that McD's will soon be offering healthy children's versions including apple slices, juice and milk.

Right now I'm torn between whether or not I like fast food. Sometimes the thought of eating it disgusts me, other times my stomach growls in lust for the stuff. Just today my mom bought McD's because it's what my grandpa wanted, and though the food was gawd-awful (honestly: the fries were dry and bland, the bun was terribly dry and hard, the meat was cold and tasteless.. it was awful), I still didn't object. Besides, they are getting better and offering more appealing selections like their salads and the whatnots. It shouldn't be too long before they too offer Atkins'-friendly meals. McD's ain't so bad now, but I do see your point.

Unfortunately right out of surgery on my leg I had a crave for chicken nuggest and a lilo and stitch toy. My sister being the wonderful person she is went out and got it for me. I took one bite into the nugget and it tasted like paste. I turned white as a sheet and ended up staying an extra day in the hospital. I have not eaten anything from McDonalds since then. That was the summer of 2001.

When i was in high school, the put one of the first dozen McDonalds in my town. in no time at all I came to hate any fast food and will starve before i will patronise any nof these joints. Moreover, as a world traveler of more than 30 years, I have hated what these institutions have done to pristine landscapes around the world. Remember when Rome, Paris etc were beautiful pieces of history. it made me sick to sit in front of the Pantheon and see a Burger king with all of the fast food wrappers blowing all over the Piaza.
I saw the fat ass american tourists sitting all over the Spanish steps shoveling garbage in their faces and laeving their McDonalds wrappers ande pizza boxes strewn about these magnificent historical monuments. In front of the Vatican main entrance is a gaudy sign pointing to the nearest McDonalds 2 blocks away. I am an American and have seen the true ugly American. McDonalds et al is the scourge of the world. It is too bad that all of the heavy sweaties will always be around to protect their income. As for their "charitable work", think of the pocket liners that their executives reap from foolish doners.
