McDonald's does have healthy kids meals now and a healthy adult meal (which includes bottled water and a pedometer). I am not defending McDonalds, and I think both Burger King and Wendy's have much better tasting food, but they are not as bad as they used to be. The Whopper from McDonald's and the Triple Classic from Wendy's are MUCH better than the Big Mac from McDonald's (and I still don't get why McDonald's puts so much lettuce on the Big Mac, the little box is basically filled with lettuce overflowing from it).

Maybe they overflow with lettuce because it psychologically makes people feel they are either eating healthier or that McDs tops their burgers generously.

Yeah, they've changed, but Super Size Me opened my eyes to a lot of things about fast food in general. After watching that I didn't go to McDs for over a year.

Wendy's>Burger King>McDonalds when it comes to burgers.

I feel the fast food gets a bad rap.  No one forces anyone to eat it.  You CHOOSE to and for those that like it, it tastes pretty damn good.  Alcohol also destroys your body but nobody really shits on it probably because "classy" drinks like wine exist while fast food is low class.  And alcohol actually affects behaviour and people are against drinking and driving but few villianize alcohol itself, just alcoholism or drunkeness in certain situations.  Smoking meanwhile doesn't affect your behaviour at all but due to its health risks it's like the world's greatest evil.  The whole thing is very inconsistent and hypocritical.

I eat a lot of fast food.  I'm not overweight or unhealthy because I eat normal sized portions, pay some attention to my diet and get regular exercise.  I find it very annoying that any time fast food comes up there is always someone who looks down on me and goes on a mini-rant about how horrible it is.  I tell the same person I got so ****-faced drunk last night I peed in my briefcase they think it's awesome.  Say "want to go the pub?" and they're SO THERE and then down a few beers and eat a greasy burger and fries but say "want to get some lunch at McDonald's?" and they go off on how unhealthy it is when they clogged their arteries up even more at the pub.

Pretty lame that Iwata gets a fake hamburger. Seriously he gives the other guy a fucking DS and he doesn't even get REAL food back?  Lame. :)

Ian, alcohol does have some redeeming qualities in that if you drink it in moderation it is good for your heart. As for fast food, I doubt it has any redeeming qualities except that its fast, cheap, and tastes good. I'm not against fast food at all and I don't think it should be crusaded against the way it is, but with that said I can't help but acknowledge that it probably isn't the best thing for you to eat health wise.... but that choice should be for everyone to decide for themselves.

Then again, with the eliminating of most trans fat in that sort of stuff Fast food really isn't as bad as it used to be. It is still bad though, but you know.
is your sanity...

mmmm, this

I'm kinda like Ian, with this one. I don't demonize fast food and i don't put people down who eat it, and yes on occasion i do stop into a McD's or a BK for a burger when its convenient. Like he said, you have a choice in the matter so if you know its unhealthy for you just don't eat it, and don't go running your mouth about it when others do.

Me or anybody else for that matter running their mouth about their opinion towards someone else doing something that they don't approve or agre with is out god given right though.

Me poking fun at someone for liking McDonalds or fast food in general is no different than everyone poking fun at Kairon for liking weird cheap 3rd party games & is no different than Ian bitching about how Nintendo has lost their mind in regards to this, Nintendo has lost respect for doing that.

People bitch, people criticize, people poke fun. You like fast food, good for you(who ever you may be), but everybody has their thing, and they have every right to express themselves about it.

uhm ok?

Obviously its all our god given right to bitch about anything we want, but its also my god given right to point out how annoying it is for someone to run their mouth when no one cares.

The fatty eating the mcdonalds burger as well as the skinny guy eating the same burger BOTH know its not the healthiest food to be eating, but they chose it anyway. So to anyone who sees them enjoying themselves and decides to go on a rant about how unhealthy is is, how much fat and calories it has and even go to extremes as bringing up their mortality is just rude and annoying and they can STFU.

There's a time and a place for everything, and there's certain times when you just shouldn't open your mouth. Sure you have every right to say want but its still rude to insult someone over their food choices. We're all talking about this in a broad sense here, so its ok to state our opinions in the matter (some here like fast food from time to time, some love it, some don't touch the stuff) but the point of my post is that personal attacks against someones choice is just stupid. Yeah you can still do it, but it doesn't mean its the right thing to do and the fact is you can rant and rave about how bad a bic mac is for your health, you're not gonna ever convince anyone to give it up cold turkey.

As far as comparing poking fun* of peoples choice of 3rd party software or borderline paranoid view of an entertainment companies policy, this really isn't the same because its a on a more personal level. If i wanted to say Kai is a weirdo for ever buying We Cheer, thats one thing, but if i ever said something like "kai is a lard ass for eating a mcgriddle" i would not in the slightest be surprised if he (or any weight conscious posters who felt offended) hit the "report to mod" button and felt it was a personal attack.

*By the way, this is here is important. Read my post again, i never said we can't 'poke fun' at anyone cuz we do it here all the time. I know i'm guilty of it, but thats what we do here as a community (especially the funhouse! ;D) but how often do any of us turn to another poster and try to make them feel bad for their choice in games or their views on a particular subject? That was the whole point of my post.

*this post IS directed at BnM who i felt might of taken my post the wrong way. This particular line here is me poking fun at him :P*

haha you went and made me get all serious on the internets, damn you!

So back to first month sales?

Depends on what kind. Wine is healthy in moderation (comes from grapes). I'm pretty sure beer has no health quality aside from helping you unwinde from a hard day at work ;)

"Pro Daisy, it looks like Ronald McDonald derailed the thread."

I agree, Pro Daisy.  I knew Iwata and his meaty patties were up to no-good.

I don't think I took our post the wrong way, as I wasn't responding to you personally. Just the idea of what was in your post brought forth that response. I think it had to do with starting work at a new spot today, not getting a good nights sleep & responding to your post before actually being fully awake.

Really? Never knew that. Now I have a justification  ;D
Too bad I'm not a fan of beers with a lot of hops.

It should be no surprise to anyone that's Nintendo and McDonalds are teaming up.  They're both controlled by the same evil.
