Isn't that better than letting it go bad?
I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied. |

It's mcdonalds food, it's already gone bad
I'm starting to worry about your eating habits mister v, it's bringing out maternal instincts i'd rather pretend i didn't have.

Maybe you should go on pretending, then. I can stop posting to this thread, if you'd like.
Honestly, though, I seem to recall reading some posts about a year ago where some forum members implied they ate frozen pizzas for dinner pretty much every day. So why am I being branded as the bad eater?

You're an easy target. Plus, Super Size Me was on TV over here a week or two ago, my favourite line: "it's OK to turn on a smoker at a dinner table and tell him its going to kill him - when is going to be socially acceptable to heckle fat people?"
Not that I'm saying you're fat, I just, y'know... cut out the Maccy D's man, it's bad for you.
I'm eating high class sausages (probably not a lot healthier), peas, carrots, and roasted sweet and ordinary potatoes.

Now THERE'S something I've been hearing my whole life. Pick on the insecure guy! He'll never fight back!
Now, I'm sure you probably didn't mean it that way, but does ANYONE appreciate being told they're an "easy target"?

That's just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
1. It's comparing food (regardless of how bad for you it is, it's still food) to something with absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. Mind you, I'm not trying to get into some debate about smoking, but can ANYONE say that's a valid comparison?
2. It's implying overweight people don't already get heckled.
3. I don't recall anyone ever trying to argue that McDonald's food is particularly good for you. But it's not the worst food you could eat, either, especially when taken in moderation. How this whole "If you eat a McNugget, you'll die instantly!" school of thought sprang up is beyond me.
I really don't even eat at McDonald's very often. I'm not trying to become their self-appointed defender. I just don't get why mentioning I ate there means I've suddenly turned into the forum whipping boy. And I've never seen Supersize Me, but it sounds pretty dumb.
And Tre, that maternal instinct thing is just...creepy.

Take it easy dude. When I say you're an easy target, I'm referring to the fact that you're there. I would pick on anyone eating McDonald's equally, you just got unlucky I guess.
To be honest, I didn't even start off thinking about the health issues of McDonalds - fact is, I don't like McDonalds much at the best of times, and the idea of reheating it repulses me slightly. As I said, I'm a food snob, I like to eat nice good food, and I don't consider McDonalds good food. That said, it's an opinion of mine only, and should be taken as such. Opinions are like backsides: everyone's got one, and most of them stink.
To your points:
1) Fair enough, I guess the quote should be taken in context.
2) In polite company, it would be considered acceptable to criticise somebody for smoking, not for being fat. Obviously not every situation applies the same here, but you see the point of the argument.
3) In a trial against McDonalds, the judge suspended the case pending significant evidence that a McDonalds diet would be unhealthy taken three times a day. And it really is pretty bad for you, (in my opinion) there's a lot tastier and healthier alternatives).
I'd recommend Super Size Me actually, it's not dumb at all - it's not nearly as hectoring or exploitative as a Michael Moore film, but makes it's point along similar lines.
And yes, Tre is creepy.

Fair enough. I can be over-sensitive sometimes, I suppose.

I guess. I don't really think either one is polite, yet both are done at times, I'm sure. I don't really have any statistics on the matter, though.
And I never said Tre was creepy, just that the maternal instinct thing is. Just to set the record straight.

I'll go on record as saying Tre is creepy, she won't mind. She recommended I eat cat earlier, because no-one likes cats.
I had sausages.

Is that what they mean when they talk about balanced diets?

I had grilled peri-peri chicken (the Nando's sauces are good, but I've had better), with some sauteed potatoes and sweet potato and peas.

Exciting eating here at Surfer Rosa's tonight - steamed asparagus followed by the last of my licorice. I'm too tired to cook.
