On McDonalds

I decided to start this blog because I've noticed a lot of stuff online that was very anti-McDonald's but not much that was for McDonald's so I thought it would be good to have a place for a different point of view.

Not everything about McDonald's is good, but not all of it is bad either. Sure it's sort of insane how caloric some of their menu items are, and eating there on a daily basis probably is unhealthy. It is convenience food, quickly delivered and quickly eaten for a low price. If people choose to make it their lifestyle, they are to blame for the health problems that result, not McDonald's.

There was also a lot of material online about how eating meat is wrong and how McDonald's is ruining the environment. As for both issues, one person, or even a few thousand, choosing not to eat at McDonald's for these reasons will have zero impact. I think we have to come to accept that the powers that be, namely the powerful corporate interests, are in control and hope that, when things do get bad enough, they will do something about it. There isn't much of an alternative; I doubt hatemail on the internet will make McDonald's stop using meat.

Which leads me to a much more important issue : what is better, the Big Mac or the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese? I know it's a tough choice, the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese has more meat, but the Big Mac has the special sauce. Do you think if I asked for a Quarter Pounder with Big Mac special sauce, they would do it? I'm afraid to ask because it sounds crazy. I wonder if they would be willing to give me some special sauce on the side to dip my fries in. But these are just crazy fantasies.

Oh, and while I'm on the subject, *&^# Che, *&^# Karl Marx and *&^# (insert your favorite commie here).
