McDonald’s combo meals

Whatever its nutritional or culinary merit or lack thereof, McDonald's at least used to be consistent and reliable. Now the only consistency seems to be poor quality.


I have not experienced the inedible crap you describe but then I would never order just a hamburger either. If I was starving and didn't like McDonalds food I would run in to a grocery store and buy some fresh fruit and maybe a yogurt or some other quick nutritious food item. Try that.

I had their fries a few months ago. Just was not the same as went I was younger. They tasted awful.

It has nothing to do with arrogance--just caring a little bit about your health.


McDonalds is no more or less healthy than pretty much any other restaurant food. So how often do you dine out? Just annually, “as an indulgence”?

For a wannabe snob, your grammar is atrocious.

Helpful Hint: learn when to use the subjunctive tense.

That’s because McDs was pressured to listen to the nation’s health “experts” who were convinced in the 1990s that saturated fats, not carbs and sugars, were to blame for America’s obesity problem. So McDs was guilted into changing their frying oil from beef tallow to vegetable oil, and their French fries lost all their flavor.

What did people do instead? That’s when McDs switched from handing out a few little foil packets of ketchup for your fries, to the dipping cup that you fill at the pump. At that point, every individual fry became more like an edible spoon for ketchup, the second ingredient of which is sugar.

We can understand what she said, and also know that she’s ignorant. They’re not mutually exclusive. It’s an enjoyable irony from someone who tries to act superior.
