|  | |  | | | | | | Sausage flatness | | The sausages are flat because it affords a far larger cooking surface area than a wiener shaped sausage, therefore allowing a faster cook time.
Efficiency! | | Vic | 17/02/2005 | |  | | McDonalds | | IT IS VERY NASTY - I will never eat the food again. | | keisha | 17/02/2005 | | | | McDonald's essay | | I'm in Amman, Jordan, working on the Iraqi police training mission. Before I got here, I'd never seen a McDonald's delivery car: little KIAs, completely covered in the McD logo. And big display ads on the walls of bus stops, touting the "McArabia," and I'm not making this up: described as koftas on bread . . . flat, round koftas, but still. A friend tells me that when the first McDonald's opened here there were 2 hour waits, such were the crowds. And my apartment kitchen came with four tumblers - each commemorating the opening of a McDonald's somewhere in the Middle East - with date. | | Mark Gallo | 24/01/2005 | | | | You forgot about the meat-switch they play | | Although McDonalds won't outright admit it, a lot of their food involves soy protein. Their shakes are not made from milk and most of the burgers (except the plain hamburger and cheseburger) have some amount of soy or similar vegetable product.
Not only are they serving a slightly vegan meal to people, but they are selling it to people who would otherwise eat meat and drink milk, not just to vegans. | | Lew | 21/01/2005 | | | | Number 9 | | Mr. McDonald, you must get up awfully early in the morning. I can't even get down to the gym . . . | | Aramis Martinez | 19/01/2005 | | | | McD In Preston, Id | | The McDonald's in Preston, Idaho recently closed. I've heard the rumor that it might get bought by a local small Arctic Circle. | | Donald | 18/01/2005 | | | | i got food poisoning at McD's | | I'm one of the lucky few. Got it from eating a McChicken. Worst 12 hours of my life - sick as a dog, ended up in the emergency room. They couldn't prove it was food poisoning, but they were 99% certain it was. This was about 6 years ago, and I've since been to McD's only 2-3 times. Now I get all my food poisoning from Jack in the Box. | | Zing | 18/01/2005 | | | | Poison | | If i had a $squillion, I would landfill all of the outlets especially in Oz. We are running up an incredible health crisis in Oz. I hate the stuff and the stench that comes with the surrounding outlets. Move? Where to? They are everywhere.
| | Sandra | 18/01/2005 | | | | Like cocaine | | So, in regards to number 3, the Happy Meals are like a coke dealer giving away his product to a new drug user. Sure he takes a hit on the first couple transactions, but then he's got a customer for life afterwards. | | Jeff Egnaczyk | 18/01/2005 | | | | I'm lovin it in kuwait | | I don't know why everyone is attacking McDonalds. I was checking out the calories list the other day and McDonalds has the least between KFC, hardees/carls jr, and Burger King.
In Kuwait, we have the McArabia; in Israel, they have the McShawerma. In Turkey, they have McLaban drink. It's all good.
Although your ten reasons might be sarcastic, I do think McDonalds is the healthiest fastfood burger place. | | mark | 17/01/2005 | | | | McDonalds Also Leading Way in Humane Treatement of Chickens | | They have banned forced molting, increased the the space that each chicken is allotted, and put restrictions on debeaking procedures.
Although its not club med for chickens, it has made their brief stay on this rung of the karmic ladder a little less tortuous. | | Dan Cutts | 17/01/2005 | | | | The McShuarma | | In Isreal, they have the McShuarma these days. Commercial at http://www.mcdonalds.co.il/popups/mcShuarma.html | | Jeff Werner | 17/01/2005 | | | | BWARH-Har-har! | | Those shakes aren't ice cream. They're made of milk and seaweed gel.
Actually, they're probably healthier than ice cream. Except they're probably flavored by high fructose corn syrup, which is bad stuff. | | Stefan Jones | 17/01/2005 | | | | I Work for McDonalds in New Zealand | | It's a good story, man. | | Chris White | 15/01/2005 | | | | Fast food | | After your first heart bypass procedure, you will find yourself cured of the desire to eat that stuff. | | Clive | 15/01/2005 | | | | Mc Donalds | | I am offended by the mention of Mr Milosevic as a typical Serbian relic. Serbia is about a lot of things, but after all that it has done to be rid of Mr Milosevic, with really no help from the outside, the minimum respect it deserves is not to be constantly associated with his person. That does not help this country move forward. Let's continue being a serious journal, and let go of such unnecessary cliches. | | Marija Vujnovic | 14/01/2005 | | | | Patriotism | | Patriotism
12. There's nothing more American than McDonalds on a world stage. Do your own part to support the troops - fight the War on Terror, not the battle of the bulge.
| | Jacob Aldridge | 13/01/2005 | | | | Answer | | The same sausage is used in sandwiches and so must be flat. Which brings up two more reasons to go: it's always the same no matter which location--you know what you're going to get. And, it's dry--no round sausages rolling down your shirt as you drive thru to work. | | JS | 13/01/2005 | | | | Creamy | | 11. The range of milkshakes allows you to consume ice cream and pretend it's a beverage. (Caution: your waist line may not be fooled). | | Rob Horsey | 11/01/2005 | | | | Send us your response to this article. | | |

| | original article » | | We're lovin it. | | Marketing Mike | | 11/01/2005 | | Yes, those Golden Arches may operate a virtual monopoly on the cheap restaurant market, with 43 per cent of America's fast food consumers and a large chunk of the world biting into its chewy bun daily.
Yes, the food may only be an ergonomically friendly carbohydrate and fat cocktail of oil, starch and meat.
Yes, the restaurant's interiors may recall a 1960s psychological television drama where people find themselves imprisoned in a psychedelic holiday camp, overseen and orchestrated by the mysterious Mr Ronald and his trippy band of mutant foodstuffs, such as Hamburglar and Mayor Cheese, who force upon each inmate endless ersatz joy and plastic-flavoured beef and patty, with crunchy pie for afters.
But, if one sees visiting McDonald's as the savoury equivalent of consuming a plate of profiteroles, then there is plenty to enjoy.
