I thought the SR lounge was just Arcanaville and a graphing calculator in a booth at the local McDonald's?

For some reason I'd expect Arcana to know far too much about the content of such "food" to dine at such an establishment... But one never knows...

This thread is getting old and musty.

Interestingly enough, McDonald's is one of the safer places to eat. Taste aside, you're generally much better off germ wise at a fast food place than at that nice local restaurant with the fabulous food.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, yeah, when you deep-fry everything you serve, it tends to kill anything on it that might kill you.
That doesn't stop it from destroying your liver and clogging every blood vessel in your body with all the grease and fat.

Read Fast Food Nation.
Like the poster above said, there are PLENTY of things wrong with McDonald's. But food safety tends not to be it. But then most restaurant food is unhealthy.

I can't comment on germs, but I'm actually thinking in terms of nutrition and quality.
I don't think there's any possible way you can convince me that I'd do better with lunches at a fast food place than I do at the local vegetarian bakery. Black bean chilli with lots of mushrooms, awsome chick-pea or barley soups and kick-[bleep] chipotle-egg or hummus cranberry sandwiches for the win. Ranch beans with a scotch bonnet pepper in them, Mixed green salads with someone's homegrown straberry-tomatoes and slices of mango, or avacado, or whatever they felt like that day. Gooey gingerbread cookies that actually taste of ginger. real maple syrup and mounds of fresh fruit on wholewheat pancakes...
I mean seriously, you need good meals if you're going to save the world every second day.
It's an open kitchen too, so if you're inclined to doubt anyones culinary practices, just sit at the bar and watch what happens if anything falls on the floor...
The cake is a lie! The cake is a lie!

I only mentioned one thing folks. I'm not suggesting you start eating at McDonald's. I much prefer the local restaurants who use local organic food. BUT!!! That has nothing to do with what I said.

I wouldn't normally care, but I'm staring at an intractable problem at work right now, and I'm venting.
I'm calling you on constructing a deliberately missleading statement by touting a single element, which may well be accurate, but is of limited relevance to the overall context of the larger, and more important discussion, that being: would Arcana eat at McDonald's except under pressure of relatively dire need.

What's misleading about it?
I didn't say: "You're much better off safety wise, eating at McDonald's"
No, I put the qualifiers right there in the statement. So to call the statement "misleading" is patently untrue. If you didn't read the qualifiers or chose to respond to an argument not made, that's not my fault.
NOW STOP GOLDBRICKING AND GET BACK TO WORK!!!

[/ QUOTE ]Well that conjecture includes necessary knowledge about Arcana that we don't have. (Among other things: Is Arcana a health nut? Does she like greasy food? Is she willing to spend more money on a better meal? Does she value her time enough to go get said better meal? Etc.)
Gecko's comment is the only rational response to the comment concerning the content of McDonald's food, because anything else hinges on the frequency one eats at McDonald's and not simply a single visit.

That's an interesting point and why "Supersize Me" while entertaining was BS. There's nothing wrong with having a big plate of greasy food....occassionally. It has no business being part of a normal healthy diet, but sometimes it's ok.
The point I made simple went to the food sourcing and hygiene. Despite the horror stories about the kid dropping food on the floor, most fast food chains are literally obssessed with food safety.
They might not mind giving you hypertension and diabetes after having eaten there for 20 years, but they sure as heck don't EVER want to see someone get food poisoning in their restaurants. That's why McDonald's has an extensive food safety compliance program for their suppliers and restaurants.
Most family owned restaurants and such might keep a very clean kitchen, but they usually don't have the resources or market strength to demand the kind of assurances that McDonald's can of their food suppliers.

Dude... when was the last time you hammered down two sausage, egg and cheese McGriddles and a coke?
It's so good goin down... but 20 minutes later you feel like you had ingested a 5th of drano with some shots of paint thinner.
Be well, people of CoH.

Ranch tiger with a scotch bonnet pepper in them, Mixed crocodile salads with someone's homegrown crocodile-tail and slices of komodo dragon, or anaconda, or whatever I felt like that day.

That goes to portion sizes. If you had ate half of one of those sandwiches and an 8 oz coke, you probably would have been fine depending on your tolerance for grease.
However, seriously Bill, McGriddles? Ugh... The person who thought up making a sandwich with pancakes and syrup needs to be shot.

When I was a kid I ate 22 pieces of bacon in one sitting. Tasted awesome going down, but man did I feel like crap for several hours after that. (I didn't puke or anything, though.) That taught me a bit of moderation is a good thing.

Yeah, I know some of them. But Morgan Spurlock went from living with a Vegan Chef to eating like that.
There was this great episode of "Married with Children" that I thought of when I watched that movie. Peg had managed to corrupt her physical trainer from eating salads with no dressing, to eating bons bons and watching Oprah all day! It killed the guy.
Al explained that his body wasn't ready for that splash of toxins (not in those words of course).

Ohhh I love em, regardless of the disgust and pain.
Once every other month or so I'll go get a couple.
I'm happy that I became domesticated and treat my body well with proper meals now.
The old days of doublemeat, double cheese, bacon grease burgers every day followed by 8-12 jack and cokes a night were ... bad for me.
Be well, people of CoH.

The last time I had the pleasure of McDonalds was in college, someone had the genius idea of walking up and ordering "the dollar menu"
Worst 12 dollars ever spent.....
Thankfully there is bottled water on the menu, that was used to splash on your face half way through, things were getting pretty ugly....
Though, sort of on topic, I think readers of her post want to know!!!!! Does the SR Lounge really exist somewhere out there, in a McDonalds booth!
[ QUOTE ]
Dude... when was the last time you hammered down two sausage, egg and cheese McGriddles and a coke?
[/ QUOTE ]Never. The last time I went to McDonald's was at least 6 years ago, and it certainly wasn't for breakfast. I do, however, get breakfast from Hardees on a somewhat regular basis, and their food is nearly as greasy. (Then again, I also have an iron-cast stomach.)

I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clean clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. So, I asked one more time,
"Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!! NOW PAY FOR YOUR FOOLISH QUESTIONS!"
He then spewed forth a cone of neurotoxic gas, flooring my recharge, and, turning, thrust a french fry into my left eyeball for 78.2 toxic damage.
