McDonald's Dollar Menu Goes Bye Bye

[NickNitro]

Exactly. So if I eat McDonalds once every few months (like I do) and just so happened to buy a burger that day with an substantial amount of the horse meat in my meal and become hospitalized from it, its ok because "I was going to die from eating fast food anyway"?

I hate to love fast food, I really do.

Sadly I can no longer eat at McDonald's , Bk, Wendys, and Taco Bell. I get the runs almost immediately after. It's not worth it anymore.

 

[NickNitro]

I sadly get that from pasta and gravy (italian sauce) that I make. Being Italian I eat it anyway because there's no way I'm living my life without gravy and meatballs lol

 

[Teelie]

I've found that the taste just isn't there anymore. The days when meat was more meat, less filler, are when I truly enjoyed fast food. There are still a few places that are good but they usually cost more too.

That doesn't mean I won't go get it on occasion but I've found it was not hard to give up. Making stuff at home may take longer but at least you know what's in it, it's fresher and you can customize it your way.

 

[NickNitro]

I always cook for myself now. I really enjoy cooking. But there are those drunken nights where my friends and I just need something.....and Steak n Shake is right by my place lol.

I have had a pretty clean diet the past 2 years and am trying to keep it up. I feel the same way Teelie when you cook for yourself you really understand what true flavor is.

I don't think I could ever give up pasta either.

There are foods that give me heartburn and I have to mitigate it by only eating it in the afternoon and less frequently. If I eat too late it will keep me up half the night unable to sleep.

I had the 2 Breakfast Burrito meal from McDonald's today, it was delicious!

 

[NickNitro]

fast food breakfast has to be the lowest of the low. for shame piper! eat a bowl of cereal

 

[Piper Maru]

I love fast food. I've never gotten sick from it, and I always have a clean bill of health.

 

[NickNitro]

How often do you eat it lets say, per week? Just curious

I eat fast food twice a week.

And he's still breathing, so hey. Though let's not get all self righteous, since unless we grew up having hippie parents we loved Mickey D's all through our child years.

 

[NickNitro]

I'm not being self righteous at all, I admit I eat fast food as well. I was just curious because he said he loves it and is healthy I assumed it was 5 times a week or something crazy

For a while I ate Taco Bell almost every night. I loved every minute of it, but then I couldn't afford to spend $6-$7 a night for a meal. As of these last few months I make stuff at home now. Haven't had any changes to my weight or health that I've noticed. Def do have more money in my pocket though. I treat myself to Taco Bell on occasion these days but it's maybe twice a month

 

[Teelie]

I only like the chicken chalupa's from Taco Bell these days and even then it doesn't have the same quality it used to. I've gotten sick from their tacos too many times. I've got an alternative taco place to eat at however so all is not lost.

I'm the same way, Piper. I would have pizza once a week, and I was sticking at around 130 lbs. Pretty lean.

Well this Taco bell is like a 15 min walk from my house so that's why I always went there. I have other taco establishments that are around that I prefer but not within walking distance.

 

[Teelie]

There's a taco place right down the street from me. Not quite walking distance but literally less than a 2 minute drive and it's closer than any other fast food business so if I ever feel the urge to get tacos, they're right there.

I'd get the runs sometimes but from eating Subway or Taco Bell but in those cases I think it was the food itself that might've been spoiled, one night I had some Taco Bell that it gave me the hershey squirts all night.

Yeah sometimes it's a case of foodborne illness or whatever ,but I used to eat taco bell all the time without a problem. I've gotten food poisoning from a friendlys restaurant and that was hell. The last time I ate taco bell I couldn't even make it home. I did have my appendix removed last December so maybe that's affected how I eat.

But isn't all food bad for you? I've been eating lasagna and muffins every day of my life for 40 years and I feel terrible.
