Hi Possum,
Its me again. To clarify, I don't believe that Burger Stunt. I've hear these stories before and to actually see the experiment on YOU TUBE, I was put off. Not McDonald's, the sight of all that good food going rotten just to prove the whole thing was a stunt.
About me eating whatever I like? Yes, that's true, to some extent, BUT, I eat whatever I like that is Healthy. Sure, I may have the odd treat at McDonald's when I go to Taupo (Half an hour north of here), and I enjoy it. But I ALWAYS get the Burgers with Salad on them. The McFeast (Now made on request), The Grand Angus, Big Mac (Which I haven't had for ages), but I always have a decent serve of Veges when I cook here at home. I am not a diabetic, but I do try to keep from having too much sugar. Its not good for your teeth for a starter, and you get fat.
I am not a dietician, and don't understand the language of calories, etc. I just know to eat right. They can say what they like on those labels, but, if there's more information than I can handle, I won't get the product. You should see the American food labels! They're FULL of chemicals! YUK!
