Fave fast food?
 

What are your fave places to get your arteries clogged?

:laugh:

Mine include:

Long John Silvers (My fave fast food place, I could eat this crap EVERY freakin day!! LOL)

McDonalds (Quarter pounder with cheese and the fish sandwich are the only things I eat there tho)

Chick-Fil-A (The #1 chicken sandwich, waffle fries and a coke)

Places I don't like:

Wendy's (BLECH! The only good things...fries and frosties)

Taco Bueno

:eek:

I can see the headline now, doll:

CLOGGED ARTERIES IN TEXAS

Christy, a native of Texas, was admitted last night to the local hospital due to numerous clogged arteries. Early forensic testing indicates that large deposits of saturated fat were clogging the arteries in her chest, therefore limiting the flow of blood to her heart. Ambulance paramedics found her unconscious in her living room, surrounded by memorablilia of classic rock band "Fleetwood Mac" and trash from numerous local fast food restaurants. Among those pieces of trash found were empty bags from McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, and the always heart-clogging favorite, Long John Silvers.

"This is the reality of eating such dangerous foods," said her doctor, Harry Sacks, a heart specialist. "These young folks today think that eating this garbage is okay, but it isn't. Christy is a prime example of this pattern of eating."

Christy regained consciousness at approximately eight o'clock this morning, complaining of being famished. Reportedly, she asked for a super-size quarter pounder meal from McDonalds and six large Frosties from Wendy's.

Family members filed a class action lawsuit this afternoon, charging the fast food chains with "reckless endangerment" and "foul business practices." Not one store manager would comment on the charges.

"I refused to give into her food request and instead ordered that she be put on a strict oatmeal-and-water diet," her doctor said. "I'll allow her the occasional bran muffin, but that's it for indulgences."

Christy's comment on her new diet: "Bran muffins? I might as well eat a rope and pull it through."

BWAH!!!
 

:lol:

NOT OATMEAL!! I hate oatmeal!!! LOL

LMAO!!!

I really don't like fast food too much. I haven't eaten at McDonald's since i've been a kid...I think it's gross. Burger King is gross. I like Wendy's and I think Chick-Fil-A is decent (I like their salad w/the chicken). I'm a big fan of Salad Works...I don't know if they have them in every state...I guess you could consider it fast food...freakin' $8 per salad fast food. Sheebus...lol

I"ve got one word for everyone: CHIPOTLE.

That is all.

"Did somebody say McDonalds?" :laugh:

I like McDonalds and Sonic the best.

I love Chipotle too. I also really like High Tech Burrito and Baja Fresh. For sandwiches I go to Subway or Togo's a lot.

My grandma used to take me to McDonald's all the time, so I've always loved that place....but all I ever eat there is a Quarter Pounder w/cheese...

I also like:

Subway
Wendy's
Sonic
Lotaburger (I think that's unique to New Mexico)
Whataburger

lol...I'm a huge fan of hamburgers...I could live off of them...

K F C

is the one and only fast food I make a point of indulging in, other than the occassional Dominos pizza.

Mmmm... KFC.

PS: Dissention :laugh:

I love Taco Bell, but my true vice is McDonald's.
Give me two Big Macs and a large order of fries, and I'm a happy boy.

A friend of mine is always hounding me to stop eating red meat, etc., because I'll live longer... but, as I've explained to him, I don't want to live longer if it means giving up greasy burgers and pepperoni pizza! :laugh:

LMAO...ironically, Harry is a nurse :nod: :laugh:

Re: BWAH!!!
 

Me, too! Eww to lumpy foods!:mad:

And I don't really eat fast food except Subway if I'm in a hurry & I'm with other people who want it. In a moment of insanity (more extreme than usual) I tried Popeye's a month ago and it was disgusting. That'll do it for me & fast food for the next ten years.

Re: Re: BWAH!!!
 

I have no idea how that place is still even in business. It's absolutely disgusting. I've had it once...never going back again.

Wendys and Arbys are good. :)

I love McDonald's because of their fries. I like Wendys too, and occasionally Fazoli's.

Sonic Rocks! And how can you resist a drive-in? I'm also a huge fan of Pizza Hut--hmmm. . . pizza. . . . .

I doubt you'll want your precious KFC after browsing that site, bucko.

;) :wavey:

Actually. That just kinda made me want to eat chicken. Mmm.. chicken. I like mine grilled. With lots of lettuce on it.

Either way, they're gonna die and be eaten. Cuz no matter how much PETA bitches, people are still gonna eat chicken. That's the truth, no matter how heinous it sounds.

You seemed to have missed the point. It's acknowledged that people are still going to eat chicken no matter what, but why does KFC have to be so cruel and sick towards their chicken? They pump them so full of drugs that they grow deformed, they breed them in their own feces, they boil them in water to kill them, they cut off their beaks, they break their legs at birth; it's horrendous.

PETA simply advocates more humane treatment.

Try to get a grasp of the abuse before you bitch about PETA "bitching." :rolleyes: And if that made you want chicken...:eek:

Burger King and KFC!!

Pip...
 

I just wanted to say that since I'm a junk food junkie, I ate at McDonalds, Burger King and KFC lots in London. LOL

Lemme just say that the chicken is WAAAAAYYYYYYY better in England. I had a chicken sandwich at Burger King and it was REALLY good, it SUCKS here in the States. Also, the chicken at KFC was really great too. Although you don't have potato wedges like we do here.

BUT, I prefer McDonalds here. It wasn't bad, it just tastes different a lil bit.

Favorite fast food
 

Generally, I really hate fast food. But I like a chain called Baja Fresh.

I can also stomach the chicken fajita pita at Jackass in the Box.

To all those who eat from KFC, I heartily urge you to check out http://www.kfccruelty.com . Please don't support animal cruelty and please send either an email to KFC telling them that the abuse has to stop, or sign the petition to help put an end to it.

I actually knew someone whose job was a chicken debeaker in Kentucky!!!!! :laugh:

Poor schlub. :laugh:

My favs are Subway, Mickey D's and Sonic. But I am partial to sonic. I am from Shawnee, OK and we had the very first Sonic ever! :cool:

Sonic?
 

I've never heard of Sonic. :rolleyes: what kind of fast food is it?

Carol

It seems kinda like sonic is kinda like a south and parts of the west coast thing.

It's "america's drive in".. the girls used to roller skate out, but i guess insurance was an issue or something. Hot dogs "coneys" (Eww), hamburgers, tater tots, etc. They have good ice cream, floats, sundaes, and all that.


And I'm not a moron.. I know what the KFC website was about. But I'm still saying what the hell's the point when they're being raised to be killed. They're going to die, period. Heck, I think I'd rather live a crappy life just to die than to get used to the good days and get my top knocked off. It's almost like why do they bother sterilizing the lethal injection needle? (Yes, for those administering the shot.. but still.) mmm.. chicken strips and potato wedges. You're dead on, Christy.. those wedges are great. I hope they don't abuse the potatoes. I heard they pull their eyes out.. I hope it's not true.

Oh. EDIT.


I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. I'm just making light of the situation.. as I see it. Just so you know, Dissension, I don't by any means think animal cruelty is OK. I think it's important to be concerned about what really goes down.. but I think several things are highly exaggerated. Maybe, maybe not.. you know. So I'm not picking on you for having a stance.. I just find that site ridiculous - not in the information contained, but the way they go about getting their message across.

The truth is this: PETA has seriously lost track of the real issues at hand. I was a member of the organization for 2 years. I can no longer agree with their methods. Harassing people is NOT right.. no group should condone tarring and feathering anyone for ANY reason. Paying thousands and thousands for the defense of a madman who BLEW UP a laboratory because of animal testing - injuring humans - is not right; not a bit more than testing on the animals is. Standard operating procedure with the group is search and destroy: find someone eating a certain thing or using a certain product and guilt trip them.. or tease them.. or harass them.. until they stop. It's not right, and human beings have rights too. I may not like it that someone supports an industry that might not be completely ethical.. but it's their perogative. The most I can do is talk to them like a decent human being.. point out things in a straight up way. Not intimidate the hell out of them and make them feel like a jerk for doing what they do. They might not even know.

I feel more productive helping out my local humane society and foster networks than I ever did with PETA. (Not just for domestic animals, of course.) They need to learn a bit about communication as a tool. Sitting around bitching about Johnson & Johnson and boycotting fast food joints didn't do a thing, and I'm sorry I wasted time and money supporting that group.

If PETA wants things to change for the animals, they need to promote their values in a more peaceful.. less fanatical way. Many people find the organization to be so outrageous that.. well.. they forget the group is supposed to be about taking care of the animals. The only know the shock value of the protesters and other cronies.

That's just how I feel about it. So I had to tease a little. (Hah. Potato eyes. Get it. Hah.) ;) I still find red meat and pork products to be absolutely hideous.. but I've come out of my vegan stage and have been eating some dairy products.. primarily cheese.. and occasional poultry to appease the family.. for the past year or so. I am responsible for the slaughter of millions of potatoes though, I have to admit. God, I love anything that used to be a potato. And those potato wedges really are nice. :laugh:

I supported PETA at one time too, but they got a little too radical and out there for me too.

My favorites are Arby's and Subway. Arby's has great curly fries. And I always make these great, elaborate sandwiches at Subway. McDonalds, Wendy's and Burger King are good at first, but they give me diarhea (sp?) afterwards...:distress: Sorry for being blatant, though, :laugh: .

I never meant to insinuate that you were a moron. :)

I understand what you're trying to say about PETA, but at the same time, it isn't a fair assessment. Yes, they've gotten too fanatical for their own good. I do not agree with their methods of harassing people and physically assaulting them. However, I do support their endeavors that are exempt from that type of behavior, like the KFC campaign. No matter how fanatical or ridiculous the group is (and it certainly is), there can be no denying that KFC is cruel and inhuman to their livestock.

The fact of the matter is that they could be a million times less brutal than they are. All they have to do is gas their chickens, not torture them (which is exactly what they do). Yum Brands (KFCs parent company) has refused to be more humane with their chickens; it's that simple. They brutalize these animals while still alive and that isn't right. By gassing them, they'll feel like they're falling asleep and won't feel a thing. The argument that they're going to be killed anyways doesn't fly, either. Just because they are being bred for food, it doesn't mean that while they're alive they should be tortured endlessly.

And even if I could care less about the way chickens are treated, I still wouldn't eat food from a place where their chicken rolls in around in its own excrement its entire life and has been doped up with drugs every day to induce growth.

Just my thoughts, though. ;)

Yeah, but is that really considered "fast food?" When I think of fast food I think burger joints, taco joints, ya know, places with drive-thrus. Chipotle is too good to be considered "fast food."

My absolute favorite is Arby's. *Drool* You gotta love the curly fries and a sandwhich that is mostly meat.

And the second favorites are:
Dairy Queen
Subway
Wednesday - gotta love those Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers...cheap and good!

Agreed!!
 

I love Arbys too, I get sick of hamburgers.

Dairy Queen!! I miss it so much!! The ones closeby all shut down and the closest one about 20-25 minutes away. :( I love the steak finger baskets and ice cream there!!

I agree but the fact that Chipotle is owned by McDonald's counts for something. That and the fact that Baja Fresh is usually considered fast food too.

I guess I assume that the chickens used by KFC in Oz are from Australia, and that given I have endlesly heard about cruelty to battery hens, I would have heard about worse cruelty to 'food' chickens. But maybe I'm wrong and they import the chicken meat from the US, although I doubt it. Anyway, the chicken tastes so good, thats why i love it. They must be well looked after to taste so good!

And as for eggs, when I do get them I buy happy eggs (free range). I don't support the hen batteries after the footage I've seen. Who could?

I'm I the only one that thinks KFC tastes like canned ass? It's greasy and just generally nasty. The only thing that place has going for it is the cole slaw.

What, do you prefer the fresh variety you can pick up at the market after giving the squeeze test?;) (Where's that mooning smilie?)

- Jake

Re: Agreed!!
 

I like the ice cream there, though it's no match for Amy's Ice Cream down here.:nod:

- Jake

Actually, it's best if it's sat around for a bit. :nod: I always seem to walk into these things, don't I? :distress:
