McDonalds Is an evil thing designed to make us fat

[mteager]

I know there is a big stigma around McDonalds, but it really is nice. It's trash and no amount of carrot sticks is going to change that. But if you don't eat it every day it's not really going to harm you in any way. It is just a tasty snack to be had and enjoyed very much when you do allow yourself a bite.

What do people think? Is it an evil thing designed to make us fat, or a harmless treat that is being abused? You know how i feel, i'm sure others feel the same.

[powerlifer]

Its a treat that's abused anyway big time by most.

People rely on fast food and processed food in general far too often that's why the bulk of the world is obese.

If consumed in moderation you will be fine depending on what the rest of your diet is like.

The real problem is their is no healthy fast food places so if you don't pack lunch yourself when out your guaranteed bad food.

definitely the food available at mcdonalds is not healthy
because junk food is never considered as a healthy food
and mcdonalds, having its numerous branches all over the world, has become damn popular even though people know its food is not healthy, but still, sometimes for a change or hang out, the first preference of people are places like mcdonalds only

[shellerz]

I agree with a lot of what has been said above. Like many of the enjoyable things in life such as drinking alcohol it is not necessarily an incredibly unhealthy thing - as long as you consume it in sensibly in moderation. Fast food is no different – if you eat it every day it is of course very unhealthy but if you can have it as a treat and it can be delicious!

It's not Mcdonald's fault, they are just making tons of money it's the people that go there that are evil doing that to themselves. Half of the people that go there probably don't know the risks and they need to be informed.

[Ken]

Moderation isn't much of an option here. McDonalds food contains things that simply should not go into your body.
While it really isn't their goal to make us all fat and give us heart disease, that's exactly what happens. McDonalds has a right to sell whatever food they want but, regardless or whose fault it is, the world would be a much better place without their fast food.

[vishrut]

I don't agree with this fact that McDonalds makes us fat. It all depends on us on how much quantity we are taken in.

If we eat from McDonalds about once a week, we will remain healthy. On the other hand, if we eat from McDonalds daily, it will become our health's enemy. So its not McDonalds which is evil, its just how we take it

[powerlifer]

The world may be a healthier place without all the fast food joints but it comes down to the consumer ultimately. No one forces you to get into McDonalds to get that ever tasty super size big mac meal, you do the end of the day.

I love how the papers and government try to make out that its McDonalds fault but people have to start looking at home to point the blame.

Ahhh saying that since going vegan recently I'm starved for some McDonalds action. Wouldn't mind getting fat in the process lol.

[SHICAMU]

people consume it a lot because it is cheap..

[William]

I don't really know, to be honest. Everyone is different. Although, in my opinion; Anything is okay within reason and proper proportion.

[Bigpixy]

I don't think Mcdonalds is evil and designed to make us fat. It's just a matter of self control when it comes to food. I myself am not fat, but I really don't have a need for Mcdonalds food and other fast food. I think it's because my mother makes some really good healthy food that also tastes really great so that I don't really have a need for junk food.

[beatrix]

Mcdonalds is certainly not for the health conscious types. But it is definitely cheap and filing. The working class benefit the most from such fast food chains where survival is more important. to give credit where it is due mcdonalds have been making a conscious decision to introduce healthier options in their menu.

i'm doing a debate for my school about whether obese people can sue mcdonald's fpr making them fat and i've found out alot of things about mcdonald's. firstly, they put addictive and fattening things in the food they serve you so when you're hungry you want to go to mcdonald's. secondly, they put so many mcdonald's on the map that you really have no place to eat besides mcdonald's. and the commercials stretch the truth about how healthy their food is so what you think is healthy really isn't.

[Doughboy]

They put addictive things in their foods? I highly doubt that. And as far as fattening, well if junk food what do you expect. If people are fat, they have themselves to blame. No one is forcing a gun to your head and telling you that you should eat at Mcdonalds or other fast food resturants for that matter. Like bigpixy said, it is a matter of choice and self control.

[Sid]

I am not too sure about this topic specifying McDonalds as an evil thing but to be frank, we all really know that all fast foods are not healthy. They are not good for consumption but people still consume them... Why? Because they are tasty. They contains different non-hygienic products and fatty products that cause damage to our health but eating them sometimes and not too much in quantity wont cause much trouble, I guess !

I never really ate at McDonalds until I had kids. On Fast Food Fridays my husband and I will usually get burgers from In and Out and get McDonalds for kids. Or, we like to eat the chicken sandwiches or salads from McDonalds. I have a sister-in-law who feeds her son McDonalds breakfast every morning. She'll alternate from pancakes one day to just eggs the other day. Her son is overweight already at age 3 and her family has a history of diabetes. Should I say something to her?

[penelope]

I don't think McDonald's food is evil thing because as everyone was saying when eaten in moderation it is ok. When eaten daily and in large amounts, I think that the problem will arise. And also, when eaten in combination with other nutritious foods it is well balanced. We also need fats and protein in our diet to have a balanced diet.

[bodil4o]

Oh no!
McDonalds is designed to make money from us not only to make us fat
The food there is delicious but if you start eating it you CAN'T feel fed and you want more and more so they earn money from us and make us fat!
Even the potatoes AREN'T potatoes ... they are some kind of flour...
I dont know for the sandwitches!
Also everything there is really expensive ... A small "packet" of ketchup is about 15euro cent in my country!
Also the coke cola isnt coke cola It is a little cola with many ice and water!

McDonalds is not there to make you fat, if you eat it it's your problem. It's there to get money off people who don't have time to prepare good meals or people who don't care about there weight. I haven't ate any takeaway in a long time because it's just rubbish. I ate a big mac like last year and guess what it wasn't even that big it was a bunch of crap and wasn't worth the money I paid. However I would say it's fine in moderation and as long as you exercise regularly otherwise your going to become one lard ass and blame it all on McDonalds ha ha.

McDonalds is designed to make money, and it worked! They can't help that people are eating that much till they are getting that fat.
Everyone chooses for himself what he wants to eat, when you eat at McDonalds is that your choice.

McDonalds is both- an evil thing disguised as a harmless treat. My health teacher told me that there's rumored to be something addicting in McDonalds' food. <<<<That seems to me like it could be true. The ads, the commercials, the tasty-looking shakes. <<<That's all to lure you into their restaurant, where they trap you. And that little Play-Place that you take your kids to - it's a subtle trap. Your kids think: "Hey, this is fun! Playing and eating good food! This is a good place!" Apple fries aren't gonna help anyway. They're already eating hamburgers and chicken nuggets. If McDonalds puts so much effort into getting people into their restaurant to helping the environment, global warming and pollution wouldn't be a problem. The hamburgers and chicken nuggets aren't healthy for you, but that could be a harmless treat. In my honest opinion, it is both. People are abusing this harmless treat AND something smells fishy.

i love their salads.

I work in McDonalds. they pay peanuts. I hate them

McDonalds is not the evil. Maybe the evil is the society we live in. Maybe the evil is in your mind. Maybe you have the power to control this evil by eating right.

[SilentScreams]

McDonalds is NOT healthy.

In my opinion, they serve poison.

Poison usually tastes good because they want you to eat it..

A good documentary to watch to research this topic further is Super Size me.

A lot of mainstream stuff aren't good for you so I always try to be careful.

McDonalds products do not only make you fat, it is unhealthy.

In the end it's all brown, smelly and cigar like.
