Mc. Donalds. A killer?

[Aηdy]

Well Mc.Donnalds have had alot of campaigns against it. and i just want to see what you guys (and girls) think of it, should it be stopped because of poor food production ect. or should it be allowed to stay in business and let people decice to eat there or not.

[Bobby]

Yes Mcdonalds is unhealthy...... but if you eat a ham burger , then go run or bike for 4 miles. That hamburger is now gone. It should be a choice. McDonalds will only make you fat if you don't burn of the calories. So no it shouldn't be closed.

[Underage_Thinker]

I do beleve that mcdonalds is bad, but i don't think it should be stoped. But it is a persons choce wether or not to eat there, It is to well publised for people to say that they don't know that mcdonalds is bad for you.

[Aηdy]

well i think its peoples own responsibility, mc.donalds offer salads and a healthy section, people should look after themselves..

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

i dont like McDonalds nor do i think their food is good in any way, etc. But i dont think the solution is stopping them. With a free market economy (at least with the US) and the right people have to sell what they want if it's legal so stopping mcdonalds would result in a big argument. people have the right to choose wether they want to eat there, the thing is that people who eat there in general dont work off the fat and calories. mcdonalds could maybe be shut down by boycotting it but that could never happen with all the igonrant people in the world and how big of a corporation mcdonalds is

[serial-thrilla]

well i think its peoples own responsibility, mc.donalds offer salads and a healthy section, people should look after themselves.. believe me Mcdonalds have found a way to make a salad unhealthy.

[kolte]

people dont go to mcdonalds to eat healthy food.
they go there to pig out on disgusting greasy salty food.
if they don't reolize that that shit is bad for them
then there dumb.

[MoveAlong]

Kolte that's kind of harsh. Why do you call everyone dumb? Sure you might know more about things than them, but...ugh. Nevermind, just forget it, I don't want to get on anyones bad side n_n

I think that people should at least know that McDonald's food is unhealthy. If they know, then I really think it's their fault if they eat it constantly and worsen their health.

I usually have 10 chicken nuggets and a medium fries with medium sprite once every month. I walk around alot too. So I think I'm good.

[serial-thrilla]

anyone who doesent know that Mcdonalds is unhealthy for you deserves to eat there until they get diabetes

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

no, i think kolte is very right in saying that. if u eat food like that and dont realize that you're putting crap in ur body then i pity you. it may be harsh but it's the truth, you cant be completely healthy by eating that food, it just doesnt work. and yes, mcdonalds has found a way to make salads unhealthy, probably the dressing is all sugar/salt and grease/oil. ive never been able to eat that kind of food and feel satisfied and have that happy full fealing like u do after eating a nice steak. i might eat mcdonalds once maybe twice a year but only when there's nothing else to eat like im w/ other people and im starving

[MoveAlong]

Yeah I guess he's right...but sometimes some members can get nasty :(

anyone who doesent know that Mcdonalds is unhealthy for you deserves to eat there until they get diabetes
Like that^^

[kolte]

I'm not being offensive.
I'm just saying, if you don't reolize that a duble whopper with cheese is unhealthy.
then your really slow.

[0=]

If you want to be a dumbass and eat that shit, go on ahead, I'm not gonna stop you.

[Bobby]

Kolte is right. But Kolte that isn't necessarily nice to call people slow. Some people not not be smart in the area of nutrition and health.

[kolte]

YOu don't have to have a degree in fitness and nutrition (which btw i have n.n) to know that fatty, greasy, salty food is bad for you.
do you feel better when you eat it?
no.
I recomend for anyone who wants to loose weight a smoothie diet.
first add two tbs of hemp, with two tbs of goji and 4 in one. and about a cup of some kind of no artificial suger added juice, a handfull of froozen bluebarries and a handful of another kind of frozen fruit plus a hand full of crushed nuts and a banana.
mmmmmm.
my favorite
*drulls*

[Bobby]

I never said you have to have any type of degree. But Some people don't have a good understanding of food and health. Ya they mite realize that they don't feel good after eating... but some people can't put 2 and 2 together.

[Charlotte]

Well Mc.Donnalds have had alot of campaigns against it. and i just want to see what you guys (and girls) think of it, should it be stopped because of poor food production ect. or should it be allowed to stay in business and let people decice to eat there or not.

As long as McDonalds is within heath code, they are perfectly welcome to produce their food. Who eats it? It's up to each and every one of us. We have a choice. Eating mcdonalds isnt the end of the world for the gov't to do anything about.

[Melchi0r]

Well, like someone said, McDonalds does have healthy selections, and it's your fault, not the companies, if you get sick/unhealthy from their food if the food you ordered has poor nutritional qualities.

[redcar]

the problem i think the world have with McDonalds is not really there food, and how unhealthy it is (that is a factor) but on that i think everyone can make up their own minds, but how it targets people with its advertising esspecially children. like parading a nice clown in front of kids and making the place look really attractive for them. they will then bug their parents to take them there.

in my opinion that is like advertising cigarettes for a target audience of children. now most people can make their own minds up but kids are very easily swayed and with all this unhealthy food it needs to stop. at the moment i think they are doing it, at least over here they are. very strict regualtions have been placed on advertising junk food like that, for example not allowed use sport stars to endorse it.

[TheWizard]

I like McD's milkshakes :)

[kolte]

I totally agree with you alex.
your right, promoting there products, that can kill faster then cig's is just evil.

[sofab232]

Duh It's a killer...SO WAT IF THEY HAVE SALADS IT IS STIIL UNHEALTHY! mY AUNT IS A MAJOR ISN STUDYING THIS STUFF. and TRUST me u dont wanna know wat's in the so called "healthy" food:eek:

[Aηdy]

well i must say the food is very nice, but the most i have it is 3 times a month, and thats rare, usually at the most once a month.

[rong626]

one of mcdonalds directors in the 80's died coz he ate hamburgers EVEYDAY till he suffered from one type of caner

[Aηdy]

they also do the "happy meals" making children wanting them even more

[Elscire]

have you guys ever notice on the television? Ronald is gone from T.V. and their new commercial (bada bababa I'm loving it) is to attact teens.

[Aηdy]

I personnally dont think they should be allowed to advertise, because if people want to go there then they can go, but attracting more people to getting fat and inviting them to a big heath risk is wrong really

[Charlotte]

There's a McDonalds on every corner. You dont need TV advertisements to see it everyday.

[Whisper]

I prefur Subway or a resturant where you actually sit down like Earls or Gullivers

[Aηdy]

we only have 1 mc donnalds here in stamford, but its only a small town and in a city about 13 miles away there are 5 or 6 there.

[kolte]

just because something is unhealthy doesnt mean they shoudlnt be allowed to adverstise.
I think cig companies should be allowed to advertise.
its a fucking free market.
i prefere a deli or wholefoods.
but thats just me.
mcdonalds serves a tasty spicy chicken burger.
but I'm not gonna eat 54 of them a day.
Imma pace myself.
and eat them when I'm starving and only have 2 dollars.

[saucysister]

McDonalds can be a killer only if you let it become one. Any food source can be a killer. You just cant abuse it.

[Fiending_the_freedom]

i think we shouldn't focus on shutting it down(its too powerful to anyway) but make people reilize how unhealthy its making them.

[Latino_Teen]

The major corporate killers in the U.S.A.:
1.Wal-Mart
2.McDonalds

[MegPerc725]

A corporation is only as strong as the people allow it to be.

That said, no, McDonald's is not a killer. The people who CHOOSE to eat there more than is healthy are killing themselves. No McDonald's employee, and not even the CEO, say that it is healthy to eat there more than once a week. Leading dieticians say that one should eat there twice a month at the MOST, and that less is better.

McDonald's food is unhealthy, but only if you eat it.

[SkaSkankDownParty]

I don't think it's right or even possible to shut McDonald's down but like it was said before even the "healthy" stuff is unhealthy. As long as McDonalds is there people are going to eat it. Most people that eat there don't have enough motivation to go out and exersize after they eat that crap. You can't just say, "just run off the calories" cause it won't work. You have to start with the eating healthy part and have places like McDonalds or Burger King makes it that much harder. I do agree that the people eating it and don't realize it's unhealthy should die of diabetes or something because they're just morons though.

[Bobby]

I do agree that the people eating it and don't realize it's unhealthy should die of diabetes or something because they're just morons though.

That's really disrespectful. Your saying that people that don't realize it's unhealthy should die. That's a dumb comment. And that everyone that eats it in general should die. Well If that happened over 99 million people would die. Think before you post.:mad:

[Dante]

Ok first of all, People need to start taking responibility for their own damc actions....They are always blaming someone else for their problems.

Common sense people, when you eat a burger with fries and a coke, it isn't going to be the healthiest thing on the market and people know that, but when their fat asses become even fatter, they point fingers

I remember a couple of years ago a group of teenagers decided to sue mcdonalds because it made them morbidly obese and that they did not know it made them fat.
Do you know what is so funny with that? These kids have been eating Mcdonalds EVERYDAY SUPESIZED, since they were 6 fucking years old....they were 15-16 at the time of the lawsuit....so that means people...those idiots ate mcdonalds everyday for 9-10 yrs and then they are suprised when they can't lift their fat asses off the couch.
I honestly do not care if I sound harsh, but its the truth.

Believe it or no you can eat mcdonalds everyday and still be healthy and you know how that works? With exercise....it something that people dont do anymore, all they worry about is the latest diet craze.
There is a football player( i cannot remember his name) he eats Mcdonalds everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner and he is healthy because he works it out of his system.

People are always blaming others? Mdonalds did not put a gun to your head and said that you better buy our product or we're gonna kill your family... People have choices.

I guess its easier to blame others than take responsibility

[SkaSkankDownParty]

If people are stupid enough to actually believe McDonalds isn't unhealthy then they should have to die from the consequences.

And yes people do have the choice to say no to McDonalds but druggies have a choice to say no to drugs and they don't. If they try to quit and drugs are around they're probably going to relapse. It's pretty much the same thing with fast food. It's hard to believe but people are actually addicted to it. Keeping it around them all the time is only going to make them want it more.

[Ravenous]

McDonald's food is unhealthy, but only if you eat it.
Sorry but what the fuck? Its hardly gonna be bad for you if you don't eat it, the grease can't diffuse into your skin or anything, state the obvious, much?

McDonalds can be a killer yes, but only if the people who eat it have it often enough. It is extreemly unhealthy, but so is all fast food, there are quite a few places worse than McDonalds suprisingly.
Anyone who eats McDonalds is doing so of their own free will (pretty much anyway) so anyone who gets ill/dies because of it, it is their own fault. They can't blame McDonalds for making them that way, they chose to eat it.

[SkaSkankDownParty]

Ok, I beg to differ about that one. Even if he works out and looks healthy he still has cholestoral clogging his arteries up. Just because someone looks healthy doesn't mean they are. You have do blood tests and crap to find that out. He's probably going to end up dying of a heart attack eventually.

[Dante]

ummm that's where ur wrong he works out intensly so he gets out all of the chemicals out of his body.

[skier44]

guess what? i eat mcdonalds......and i like it......oh man! im gonna die now that i had it before in my life

[Dante]

see it's not about just eating mcdonalds...i mena yea we can eat mcdonalds once in a while and be fine, but when u have it everyday it becomes unhealthy, but PEOPLE know this and still they eat it, so dont blame the compnay blame the people.

When I was a junior is HS there was McD by my school and i ate there almost everyday after school and i started having chest problems....Was I lIke " This is al Mcdonalds fault" NO...I took responsibility for my actions.

[kolte]

Well, the majority of nutritionists agree that the type of high fat, low fibre diet presented by McDonalds is linked to cancer, heart disease, and obesity which can lead to diabetes. These diseases are currently responsible for nearly three-quarters of premature deaths in "the wester world". Responding to all the law suites and emails, letters and phone calls, McDonalds said that the scientific evidence is not conclusive and that there food can be a valuable part of a balanced diet........right, and im the mother mary. :rolleyes:

McDonalds spends over two billion a year targeting children and teenagers with there collectable toys, there tv adverts, there work with school charity and with there faggot clown Mr. Donald. In fact i would debate that the mc donalds arch is almost more noticable* then then christian cross.

McDonald's argue that their advertising is no worse than anyone else's and that they adhere to all the advertising codes in each country. But others argue it still amounts to cynical exploitation of children - some consumer organisations are calling for a ban on advertising to children. Why do McDonald's sponsor so many school events and learning programmes? Are their Children's Charities genuine philanthropy or is there a more explicit publicity and profit motive?

They annually produce over a million tons of packaging, used for just a few minutes before being discarded. What environmental effect does the production and disposal of all this have? Is their record on recycling and recycled products as green as they make out? Are they responsible for litter on the streets, or is that the fault of the customer who drops it? Can any multinational company operating on McDonald's scale not contribute to global warming, ozone destruction, depletion of mineral resources and the destruction of natural habitats?

McDonalds, walmart, exxon, pepsi, coke, dr. pepper, budwiser, mtv, nick, comedy central, k mart, super s, harvest foods, block buster, burger king, tiger mart, quick stop, and every other nasty corporate hack is destroying our life and planet. we need to take them all out. lest we die in a pit of agony.

Ok, McDonalds is terrible. Trust it from me, I WORK THERE. All of their food is made with 100% pure evil.

They don't enforce health in most mcdonalds stink pits, in every bathroom of one I've been in none of the countless employes washed their hands.

8 dollars an hour is minimum wage there????? Jesus, its 5.15 here....T.T

I think it's actually like $7.45/hr or something. But I make $8/hr, aren't I special. But thats just because everything costs so much.

[Charlotte]

Living costs affect minimum wage :rolleyes:

thats not true. steak, no matter were its sold, will never be as low as 2 dollars for a 'meal'. But idk, maybe a steak 'meal' is different. I'm only fimiler with a steak dinner lol.

[Ravenous]

I wouldn't go anywhere near a steak that cost $2..

[Bobby]

Me neither. You can get a plastic play peice of steak fro 2 dollars.... in florida their are some really cheap restaurants... but none with 2 dollar steaks.

minimum wadge here is 7$ an hour but NOBODY in Northern Alberta would DARE pay that low they would have quite literally zero workers and the company would go out of bussiness

theres kids 19-20yrs old making $10,000 a week here
getting aproved for $300,000.00 morgages
driving trucks worth 50-60grand paid for

and they've found kimberlite to
that means theres a good chance of diamonds

the oil combined with severe cut backs in the 90's means albertas is the only dept free province/territory in Canada
We have no PST so while everyone else in canada pays a total of like 13% tax on everything they buy in alberta its like 6% here because we only have GST

we have a few billion in the bank cash

last year every man, woman and child living in Alberta got 400$ and sum dollars from the government tax free

and last year we handed over 1billion cash to British Columbia inorder to help combat the pine bettle which is destroying there lumber industry and threatening ours

were so short of workers companys are going over to provinces like newfound land and paying for them to fly to alberta to work making allot of money and then the company pays for them to fly back for there days off befor flying them back over

Alberta is injecting millions of dollars every month into Altlantic Canadas economy
which they really need..

the only thing in alberta thats gone up in price really is housing
its become fucking retarted because so many people are flooding in
over 25,000 in the last three months of 2005 alone everywhere else canada wide noted a drop in population where as Albertas pop is skyrocketing

and i garuntee you if you come to northern alberta you will not find a hotel room unless you book months in advance theres allot of companys that rent out entire hotels 24/7, 365 even if some rooms are vacant they need the assurance that if necessary they will have a hotel room

allot of companys here will hire you on the spot and then THEY will pay for the education of YOUR choice YOU tell THEM what you want to do and they pay for it
then you sign a contract saying you will work for them for a minimum of 2yrs (which is nothing) all the while getting paid a large amount of money, were so short of workers they cant afford to tell you to come back when you have a university degree or are a trained trade person.

Albertas economy is on FIRE
