McDonald's is Good For You

I love McDonald's. The food is great, cheap, and the restaurant is everywhere. You will not go hungry if you like McDonald's.

I will even go further than this. I will claim that McDonald's is good for you, and that only your own inability to control your food intake will make it bad for you, just like any other food.

I am so sick of these panty-waist nutrition-mongerers trying to tell me what I can and can't eat, and even worse, trying to dictate to a private corporation that is committed to its customers what it can sell and how it can make its food and how it can advertise that food. McDonald's isn't a world-wide presence by accident. It didn't get there because its food sucks or because it shoved its food down the obese throats of America. It got there because its food is damn good. Most Americans like McDonald's, otherwise they'd be a small, regional fast food chain. Are they a small chain? No, they are number one. Let me repeat that. McDonald's is NUMBER ONE. They got there by having good food for a low price, good, fast service, and a genius marketing team. They didn't get there by selling crappy food at expensive prices.

I eat McDonald's a couple of times a week. I order lots of food when I eat there, probably 2000 calories worth per meal, at least. But I do this because I know I can handle it. I am still an extremely slim guy, not anywhere near fat by any measure, and I burn off that much food in very short order. I don't need some idiot activist group that doesn't have anything better to do than sue and sue and sue and make money off legitimate corporations telling me that the food is bad. They should spend their time telling people that the responsibility for their health lies with them and their doctor. These urban legends of people dying from heart attacks after eating McDonald's or Jack-in-the-Box are not true. They're perpetuated by political cartoonists, parodies and of course scare-mongering trial lawyers looking for a fast buck.

In short, if you're a nutritionist, shut the hell up. I'll eat what I damn well please, and I'm not about to let some irresponsible group of lawyers, pseudo-nutritionists and liberals tell me otherwise. This is America, and I have a choice. How many times have these dumb diet studies been reversed anyway? Take eggs for example. Bad, good, bad, whites good, yolk bad, all bad, and over and over again! Or chocolate, wine, or coffee! Repeatedly have these foods been dragged through the dirt or held on high. The fact is I don't care what these studies say. Anything can kill you if you eat or drink too much. Hell, how many people die from salads that have E coli in them every year? At least burgers are cooked!

Again, I love McDonald's, and I will eat there until the evil, evil grease clogs my tender little heart.
