Subject: RE: BS: McDonalds Fast Food Restaurants
PS there seems to be some annoyance about McD being called 'crap'. Well, it's *predictable* tasty processed stuff, and it all depends what you want from what you consider to be "good" food.

I'd say that McD is like a 'fix' it's high salt high fat stuff and tastes good on a superficial level that kids in particular like, because they're programmed that way.

There's no moral value judgement in that, but a burger is what it is. And it ain't chargrilled sirloin with a freshly baked baguette, shredded cos and horseradish sauce! That's "good" food to me, it's not a processed "fix". I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather have the sirloin than a McD? I think if I ate steak, salad and bread for a month, I'd eventually get a bit fed-up with it. But if I had to eat McD for a month I'd be feeling pretty shitty and nauseated.

That's the key difference between "crap" food and "good" food, the former is OK in the short term, but it fucks you up in the long term, including making you a fat fucker ;-)
