As there is trouble for most during this economic crisis, doesn't mean they are turning into small african nations.

Junk food is much like alcohol, it can be abused but is okay when used in moderation, I like a burger and fries once and a while and I don't want the government trying to ban certain types of food. Prohibition was a disaster and we don't need a repeat of that experience.

You and most of the western world has prohibition existing, and the effects of the Al Capone era are still happening today, your taxes are paying the ATF and DEA to stop something that cannot be stopped, so I find it interesting that you think you are living in a period where prohibition doesn't exist

Iceland had a problem importing the raw materials to McDonalds and the prices of these goods made it prohibitive to continue that business. I don't think it had anything to do with the "quality" or non quality of the food.

Remember, most McDonald's food does not decay. A burger from 2 years ago looks mostly like it did when it was made. It does not mold or spoil. Doesn't that tell you that they are using "something" in the meat that they shouldn't? They also add too much fat, sugar, salt and "other" things they shouldn't to the burgers, fries, soft drinks, etc.

Want to gain weight? Just eat at McDonald and soon you, too, will be fat and beautiful. Remember the movie Super Size Me? If you haven't seen it you should and if you do see it you will never, never eat fast food from anywhere again - let alone Micky D's!

I assume you saw the extras on the Super Size Me DVD:
""The Smoking Fry" shows Spurlock keeping various forms of fast food (some from McDonalds, some from a place that actually cooks the meat and fries from scratches) in glass jars in his office and then how the food breaks down over months. After weeks and weeks, the McDonalds French Fries have not broken down whatsoever."

Grossssssssss...

Edit to add: found the video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on6BSfHlK_w

I still love the idea that maccyd's salad has more fat and calories in it that a big mac - how on earth can people sell this crap let alone eat it
