2. nah
once in awhile, it's OK to indulge.

I prefer McDonald's myself, but probably only do it 3 or 4 times a year. It won't kill ya. Enjoy.

5. You should NOT eat the Whopper.
Unless you get it with bacon.

42. yes, eat the whopper
If you don't eat the whopper, you will start out eating some things that you think are good for you, you will not be satisfied, you'll move onto some tastier things that are still not quite as evil as the whopper, you will still not be satisfied. You will eat very delicious unhealthy things because they are not the whopper, but you will not be able to get the idea of the whopper out of your mind. Eventually, you will eat the whopper. 6 or 7000 calories down the road.

Eat the whopper when you are hungry, stop when you are satisfied.

8. I for one
Edited on Mon Mar-01-04 06:46 PM by Jim4Wes
don't buy into the fat and red meat causes all the arterial sclerosis problems. I think Atkins and the other doctors who focused on reducing carbs are on the right track. So if it was me, I'd dig into that whopper maybe two and pass on the fries.

Sorry if this causes you any stress. :)

12. When I'm on the road
I take particular pleasure in BK Whoppers. The combination of beef, onions and, yes, a bit of grease, keeps me happy for about 150 miles or so......

15. Those chicken whoppers are pretty good.
But they're grilled, not fried. So make sure they slap some cheese on there.

16. Read "Fast Food Nation"
And find out that that whopper is a ground up matrix off what used to be about a 1000 cows, hof meat, digestive tract, anus, internal organ meat, feces, rat hair, CNS tissue, insects, and other gross stuff.

After you have come to grips with this truth you should have no problem passing up on the burger and going with the "Whaler".

Now let me tell you whats in a whaler.......

Burgers are tasty, and (in careful moderation) are not "bad" for you.

45. I have already read and loved Fast Food Nation.
After I read it I emailed my partner and said, "We can never eat beef again." That lasted about a week.

It's 10:00 now and I STILL haven't gotten any dinner. It will be a quarter pounder value meal for me again on the way home tonight, I fear. I have found that's the easiest one to eat in one hand while driving.

Mmm tasty.

Sigh,

The Plaid Adder

the burgers are actually not so bad - just don't have fries with that. Of course, what do I know; I'm just an epidemiologist......

first time in about 6-9 months. the veggies were surprisingly good, with mayo and ketchup. but that burger was just not any good. it looked weak and it had no taste whatsoever.

the onion rings and dipping sauce was fun though

41. think of a big roll of neck fat bulging from under your chin that jiggles
when you speak. Or a bulbous roll of blubberfat that hangs over your belt and makes you have backaches.

Still hungry?

48. I'm still hungry.
And still trapped at work. However, I will be heading home soon, and unfortunately I will probably not be able to make it back without stopping on the way at McDonald's. Which is even nastier than Burger King, but you can eat it with one hand whiel you drive.

Ah, the glamor of life as a DU columnist,

53. the last time I had a fast food burger
I was so sick. I had a gall bladder attack. Within a couple of days, I had surgery. And then I was months healing because I developed complications.

If you really want a burger, make it at home, on the grill so the fat drips off.
