Worst possible life? Oh no! They have to learn to cook their own food! Oh, the horror!

Aw, this is dissapointing I hardly ever go to McDonalds and when I do I like to get the supersize. Oh well I do suppose public health outweighs my personal pleasures. :)

I don't think just one double cheeseburger per day makes one fat, or does it? I mean if that's the main meal of the day.

I eat at those hamburger places perhaps once per three months, so I'm hardly an expert. Like my fellow Finlander FastGamerr, I prefer pizza...

A double-cheeseburger every day?! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's going to cause some problems. ;)

According to McDonald's, a single Double Cheeseburger contains 460 calories; that's about doublt that found in a home-made sandwich, and both are roughly as filling.

Here's a list of what McD's claims is the facts on their procducts:

Being able to buy and prepare your own food is a life skill that too many people are not learning these days.

pffft... we have no will power :rolleyes: :p


I'm kinda fat because I take in more calories than I burn off. It's cheese. If I didn't have such a passion for cheese (particularly cheddar, muenster, and pepper jack), I probably wouldn't be (as) fat.
I don't drink much soda (one can every couple days -- otherwise I drink lots of water) and I almost never go out to eat (if I'm lucky, once in a couple months), though once a week I usually either get a Chikfila sandwich or 2 slices of pizza at school for lunch instead of making my own lunch.
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Except their products damage public health. It's exactly the same as cigarettes.

Hamburgers should be clearly labelled "hamburgers will make you fat". It might not be their responsibility to keep the public healthy, but it is their responsibility to inform the public of the hazards of their products.


If you're dumb enough not to realise that a bunch of hamburgers, and some french fries dipped in fat, dripping with salt, and drank with something full of sugar, then your ignorance (not you, but whoever doesnt know this by now) should be enough to make a lawyer and judge laugh at you in court for suing the company for putting out something that causes you a heart attack, or another health issue..

It's the same for cigarette's. If you don't realise that cigarette's are bad for your lungs....Then you deserve to get lung cancer, just for your ignorance.

It's practically common sense now that these things are bad for you and your body. Yet people, don't really care. They ignore what the doctors recommend, and then decide to get some money out of big corporations because something wasn't clearly labelled right.... Come on, coffee is hot. We should all know that. If you didn't get a hot coffee from mcdonalds, people would be probably suing for false advertisement or serving too cold of coffee, or something stupid like they are now.
