The question is: Are you convinced. I think McD are pretty weak in their defence.

SHIT: heading error. SOmeone with the powers please correct this.

McDonalds' food tastes like shite. I mean the little strawberry ice cream sundae thing is not bad at all. And I've heard the salads are OK. Obviously it isn't healthy for you at all. I don't agree with the way they target kids with marketing and toys to try to hook them on greasy crack. That's probably the one thing that they do that I object to from a social responsibility viewpoint. While other chains offer that shtuff, no one else plays it up like McDs. And there is nothing wrong with a little parody and all that and obesity is a major concern these days both here and in the UK and to a lesser extent in most other first world countries.

Having said all that though sometimes I htink McDonalds just catches way too much flack. I don't like it so I don't eat there except on the rare occasions when I'm traveling. I never eat there otherwise and this is coming from someone who is not averse to food fast food by any stretch; I admit I eat it even too much. And that's fine, I eat elsewhere and get along just fine. And McDonalds gets along just fine without me since other people do like to eat there.

They also get bitchslapped around for being a global symbol of US global capitalism. I don't really get that. If people want to keep their local companies, their local cuisine, and not support a big soulless US corporation then fine. Whatever. Then don't buy that shit. That's all. McDonald's only exists where people support it.

Wow you really take this serious!

I find McDonalds pretty objectionable as well. I used to love the food when I was a kid, but now even the thought of eating a big mac and fries makes me queasy. I really feel like they target the poor and the young with their unhealthy, greasy, barely food.

Not really. The article/church thing doesn't do much either way for me. Might be funny if the actual text was there. The rest of my reaction is just a general thought on the topic but certainly not an impassioned one.

Now if someone wants to slag on the SpicyChicken, then I might have to get a little rough.

I wish they would have linked to the newsletter as well. Sounds like funny stuff. McD's has surely been catching a bit a flack these days, what with the 'War On Fat?' and all, but to even respond to the newsletter shows how much heat they think they're under.

Fast food isn't my thing honestly. If I'm traveling and in a pinch, I 'might' stop for a Jamocha Shake at Arby's, but that's as close to fast food as I'll get. As zod mentioned, they're getting most of their revenue from families that can feed 5 kids for under 20 bucks. Nutritional values aside, who in their position wouldn't?

So. The priest hasn't had little boy's assholes for a while and now the time is ripe for him to rant off about McDonalds. I give up...

artman @_@ · July 28, 2003 1:03PM

You know? Why don't these assholes prove there is a God instead of rant off about a fast food chain? Really, prove us wrong. Prove that Jesus is coming back and crop circles are the sign of his next coming. Anything but this drivel...

Whoooooow, man!

Didn't know ALL priests were hooked on that particular part of little boys' anatomy to the point they'd be driven so completely hysterical by the lack thereof, nor for you to shamelessly generalize to that degree. You sound almost hysterical yourself.

I thought the priests hadn't been around any of "these a****les" and that's why they were ranting.

Whoa, Artman, take a breath. It was just a joke, you know like saying that Bill Gates is the spawn of Satan....no wait that one is true. well anyway it was tongue in cheek. Ease up on priests.
