Fast Food

Captain Slog

Hi Matticooper,
Good to read your comments. All were very interesting, something I've said about most comments, so far.

I haven't seen "Supersize Me!" at all, but the thought of it sickens me, and that's only from what I've seen of the trailers. Its as if this guy's deliberately chosen McDonald's to ABUSE their food by buying and eating as much of it as he could for a month. NO-ONE in their right mind would actually DO that. Would they? But, Americans aren't in their right minds. They do things to seek attention, get noticed, pump up their egos, etc. My guess is he was only buying Quarter Pounders, Cheese Burgers, Shakes and Sundaes, and LOTS of them. What a Wally!

As you may have read in my comments, I am a BIG Fan of McDonald's, and at our McDonald's REGENT in Brisbane, I became known as The McFeasty Beasty, because of my love for the McFeast. I used to get big orders for my evening Meals. Usually, you guessed it, a McFeast and/or a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Large (Now Medium) Fries, Chocky Sundae and a Cuppa Coffee. Because I was there for the whole evening ( I HATED going back to The Palace every evening! Nothing to do), I used to stay there and read my paper, write letters (NO eMails in 1980-85), my matesknew where to find me and we used to meet there at MY table. Every now and then I'd get up and get another coffe or an Orange Juice.

Away from McDonald's I used to have all the usual varieties of meals you get in the Malls like The Winter Garden (Next door), Coles, Myers, David Jones and other centres during my days off work. I used to work at Golden Circle. I'd get my fair share of Beet Root, Bananas, Strawberries, and other delicious Fruits and Veges. But we could ONLY Eat them IF we were working with them.

You said here Hungry's has the ultimate fat laden burgers. THe Ultra Double Whopper and the Triple Cheese Burger. Geez, even I don't like too much cheese on my Burgers. That would be asking for trouble. I tried a Triple Beef and cheese at Burger King here a few years ago, and yes, it was rather sickly. I ONLY tried it, to see what the fuss was about.

One good thing about being in the City, or in a town like Taupo or Rotorua, etc. when you're out in the street you WALK from one place to another, and fi you've got all day to do what you like in town, you can walk for MIILES and not know it, and its all good exercise. I love it!

You don't have to be "guilty" of "advertising" sites like Giggle(THAT'S what I call it). I prefer YAHOO! Giggle is just a bit too smart for their pants from my experience. Besides, aren't they having a bit of trouble at the moment? I use YAHOO! for all of my Searches and I am very pleased with their results.

Any good advice from people who have something to offer I would welcome very much. Anyone spouting gossip or "airs of superiority" (SNOBS) and putting people down ( Like the snobs who poo-pooed "The Poor Man's Pizza" that was offered by a member yesterday) deserves to be given a hard time. These so called "Classy" types have NO "class" at all, they're JUST SNOBS!! DON'T take any crap from them! Poor Man's Pizza? Nothing wrong with it! Good Honest Tucker! Simple, Tasty, and anyone can make them.
