Lawyers going after fast food...

I honestly wasn't going to post since everyone's making good arguements against the original poster but this news post was too good to pass up. Addiction maybe?

Man breaks into McDonald's to cook, eat burgers

LAKE HAVASU CITY - Lake Havasu City police are looking for a real-life Hamburglar.

A man broke into a McDonald's early Sunday morning through a roof vent.

Surveillance video shows the man turning on the grill, cooking and eating a couple of burgers before fleeing.

When he fled, the burger bandit triggered a door alarm that a morning shift manager heard when she pulled into work nearly two hours later.

She found a piece of drywall on the kitchen floor, and another employee noticed the grill was greasy.

Damage to the McDonald's is estimated at $150.

Although on the matter of eating out VS eating at home. I admit my husband and I cant really afford to have nice home cooked meals. We tend to eat out or just have really cheap-prepackaged stuff because we can't afford any better. I guess working at Subway is a slightly better alternative to McDonalds or Burger King, but those subs are tricky as fries. That "6 grams of fat" deal only counts if you dont get cheese or any condiments (aside from sweet onion sauce or mustard)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When the rapture comes. It's my opinion that its human nature to deny responisbility if its convienient. Just look at the US government.


Really all this thread boils down to is PattyNBK is in denial that fast food is VERY unhealthy (even a McSalad is unhealthy by some standards when you add that chicken that's been cooking on the same grill as a burger patty (I dont care if they scrap the grease off, its still there) or put cripsy deep-fried chicken and/or bacon bits on it. Even the dressings are unhealthy. Eating once and a while, fine. Eating it once a week or more, not good (esspecially if you do not take time on the side to be active or work out).

I won't argue against the fact her original statement declared it's stupid people are suing fast food "because they MADE them get fat" (although I admit that during the time I worked at McDonalds, they pressured the employees to ask if people wanted to "large-size" their orders (we don't have "super size") or even just add an order of fries, cookies, pies or a soda.
