    I get their cheese burger 4 nuggets and a small drink for $3.25. Then I realize that it's not enough food and get another thing of nuggets.

    @coyote1284: P.E.T.U.: Yep, the McD's coffee story always takes the heat as a frivolous, silly law suit but once you get into the facts it actually made sense.

    McDs used to keep their coffee much higher. Their argument was that people in the drive thru wanted the coffee hot when they got where they were going (really?). The woman didn't just spill coffee on herself and go "shit thats hot" she suffered 3rd degree burns which required skin grafts.

    Here's the good news. Our bodies break the stuff that we eat down into it's constituent parts, the body does not know or care if the dead cow parts that you put in your body came from McDonalds or if it is grade beef tenderloin. As long as the nutrients are there, and you burn as many calories as you eat, you'll be fine.

    Oh, an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

    after having worked at Macca's in my teenage years, I'm always happy to eat there. People bitch and moan, but the ingredients are always fresh and you always know what you're getting. it's perfectly possible to eat healthy there. McChickens especially are yummmmmmmm & reasonably healthy at the same time.

    Of course, I'm in Australia. It would not surprise me if U.S. Maccas was unhealthier. Most things are :P

    @freakout: I had an opportunity to visit Brisbane years ago, and I can confirm that the McDs in Oz do serve a much better version of food. Likewise, Domino's Pizza was actually edible. I guess they are afraid to serve bad food to ex-cons ;-)

    @freakout: Actually the Chicken sandwhiches at McD's are one of the worst things on the menu. It's mainly the mayo they put on the thing. If you get the chicken + Fries + drinks your sitting either really close to 1000 or over a 1000 calories...but don't get me wrong I'm still going to eat there =P

    Here is a list of what they have and the calories behind it.

    @dimsum4u: Well, in Australia, they don't use mayo, they use vegemite on their McChickens. They dunk their fries in marmite.

    What do they call a 1/4 Lbr w/ cheese down there?

    @dimsum4u: the Aussie McChicken provides 41% of your daily protein needs, 31% of the sodium and only 13% of the saturated fat (27% total). Really, it's fairly well balanced if you have that and an orange juice or something for lunch.

    you're right, though, the fries will totally ruin any attempt at being healthy. pdf link: [mcdonalds.com.au]
