Keep talking, buttermound.

How is it that you take such a juvenile stance on everything? Like here, you have a gimme of a "lol selfish lawyers" stance but somehow you dumb it down.

I do not think anyone is suggesting that McDonalds is specifically and uniquely the cause of obesity, sir.

When I say no difference, I mean if you cook the same product. A cheeseburger is a cheeseburger. Yeah, I can make it healthier by cooking on a George Foreman Grill (love those things, so handy), but at the end of the day, there is no true difference.

So a McDonald's salad is the same as a salad of your own concoction?

You are so fat it hurts.

Quote:

As for the rest, all I know is that I eat home-cooked about three times a week, out about twice a week, and fast food about twice a week, and I'm not overweight in the least.

Well, there are two points here, aren't there? For one, you are not fourty years old and you probably should not have the metabolism of one. For another, you eat out entirely too often, chubbs. Also for those of you keeping score at home, I don't think you can walk off the cholesterol or jazzercise away the 250% RDA of sodium you take in every day. What I'm trying to say is that it is very possible to be within a target weight while having deplorable nutrition.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I know I should just ignore you, but you know what, I don't take crap from anyone, especially not retarded juveniles online. So go fuck yourself.

Meanwhile you think a McDonalds salad is equivilant to a salad that I would make. You think exercise is a food version of Hail Marys. You think that having a country whose majority of its citizens are obese, including very young children, is no big deal.

It doesn't matter what your stats are, made up or not, you have a very obese soul.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Anyone with two braincells to rub together will make the 'cigarette addiction : Big Tobacco' connection. It's telling you don't.

What kind of dumb bullshit is that? I'm guessing you toss insults so freely because you never have anything intelligent to say.

All I'm saying is that there's one kind of girl who uses the "just because I'm not anorexic" gambit when her weight is questioned.

I need to be in the best shape possible, period.

EATING FAST FOOD TWICE A WEEK IS NOT THE BEST SHAPE POSSIBLE SUGAR TITS

Quote:

Besides, you miss the entire point. These lawyers are trying to claim that fast food is a real addiction exactly like nicotine addition,

That's the fourth time you said that without bringing any backup. Why do you keep pulling your arguments from your voloptuous ass?

I think it's safe to say that you don't know much about healthy eating, that's all I'm saying. The mere idea of a salad without ham cubes, bacobits and ranch dressing is anathema to you.

Quote:

You see, I'll let you in on my secret: balance. Fast food, in and of itself, is not a killer. Excess is the problem, and it is not the fault of fast food chains.

By your own conservative estimate, you eat fast food twice a week and your own home cooking is similar enough to fast food that you can't tell the difference. This is not what they had in mind when they said McDonalds is a 'sometimes' food.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Man, you sound just like my dad, who will go out of his way if he knows another store is selling the same bargain-bin stuff for 10 cents cheaper. Back in the day, he had a mental map of every place within five miles that was selling Pepsi for 79 cents a 2L. And no, before you ask; it never made a whit of difference.

Except for McDonald's, fast food is usually more expensive, especially Wendy's and Dairy Queen (where it costs us about $20-$25 total for all three of us to eat).

One wonders why you choose this route so frequently then.

Oh, and Sass, you say stupidity is picked on around here, but from the looks of it, it's the other way around. From the looks of it, stupidity is encouraged while thinking for yourself and intelligence are picked on.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

[...]Do you eat these steak dinners every night? I sure as Hell don't eat steak every night. So sure, occasionally it will cost more, when you have a bigger dinner like that, but not most of the time.

Take my dinner tonight, for instance. I simply had a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.

you think frozen meals are home cooking

what.

so like, does a larger dinner for you mean a Hungry Man meal? Maybe a seperate side dish of frozen veggies?

FELIPE NO

^ Yeah, basically. It's like saying you eat healthy when you buy a McSalad every day, or that when you say you're exercising every day, it's from taking a flight of stairs up to your classroom. Just doesn't quite ring true.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The reason why people buy fast food is because it's a combination of cheap and fast. If you want any variety at all in your diet, you'll be paying a lot more at McDonalds than you would be comparatively at the supermarket.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You may have a different definition, but I'm usually a literal kind of person.

Lol, Patty, lol. Oh, lol indeed.

So, um, for a week's worth of dinners, you go to a fast food joint twice, you go 'out' (Olive Garden?) an additional two times, and you eat frozen ready meals three times. do you expect you will at any time start making your own meals from scratch, or is that women's labor?

Well, there's two points here isn't there. For one, the issue at hand is something you invented, with your own parameters, which does not exist in the real world. No, I'm sure plenty of lawyers are trying to get McDonalds to be held accountable for fat babies, and I bet more than a few of them made the paralell I stated earlier in that McDonalds aggressively creates a culture of dependance on their product and hides negative health facts as well as they can, like Big Tobacco. You are the only one who said that fast food is addictive as cigarettes, or that fast food is completely null and void in all nutritional value. No one is going to argue on your playground, Patty. Stop insulting our intelligence.

The other reason is, of course, you think a Healthy Choice is home cooking. oh lol

So how is it convenient if all this driving is so opressive and time-consuming

i mean christ

who drives anymore

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, the news report I saw says you're wrong, and sorry, but they have far more credibility than an internet troll like you.

It would've been nice to share this report with us!

Quote:

The news report stated specifically that the lawyers in question were planning to go after fast food companies by the same premise as cigarette companies were nailed, and claimed that fast food is an addiction exactly like cigarettes. Those aren't my words, those are their words.

You Don't Understand Things.

Quote:

You're just trying to spread bullshit propaganda here.

You think Healthy Choice counts as home cooking because you cook them at home.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh, this is rich. A woman who proclaims herself healthy because that's how she has to be, to be on the top of the game, is telling you to stay away from the junk food at McDonalds.

Women didn't routinely slaughter the day's roast in 1954, RR. That was the man's job

It's another false dilemma. The poor don't survive on fast food alone, but they eat it way more than normal people should*. What would people do if all the fast food places disappeared? They'd do what they do on their non-fast food days, and their kids would scream a lot more because everyone knows that to poor kids, screaming is their only passtime.

* No Patty, twice a week is not normal.

I.... jesus. Do you think I'm the only one who noticed that, not only is a woman who fancies herself at the top of her game giving out advice on what's more nutritional at McDonalds, but that the word 'salad' never passes through her lips? Not to mention she's comparing apples and oranges, if she even knows what those are. The fillet o' fish (a healthier alternative!) is comparable to a double cheeseburger. Big shock there.

Like fucking calcium and protien is hard to come by in an American diet, christ almighty. Actually, I don't know. Maybe it's hard to get your daily alotment of calcium from a Healthy Choice sweet and sour chicken dinner.

How ya doing, buddy?
