Both cook in peanut oil. I wonder if that is why you like them both.

How are their hamburger and fried potatoes any better or worse than someone else's? The same ingredients = the same result.

I said all other fast food joints EXCEPT Five Guys which uses fresh, unfrozen hamburger and fresh potatoes every day. Their burgers and fries are outstanding. Also, the small fries are enough to feed three people. All the toppigs are free.

And we wonder why America has a problem with obesity. "Good" fast food is any fast food that gives oversized portions and extra calorie content for free. When Five Guys is serving baked instead of fried fries and grass fed organic beef burgers on whole grain buns in appropriate portions, get back to me about how they are "good."

The point is that it is a choice for adults to make, and if they do make such food choices they shouldn't be suing anybody looking for a windfall or nanny legislation to save them from their own stupidity. I like having the option of going wherever I choose should I desire a big, sloppy, fat-filled burger because I am an adult. Even though such a frivolous suit probably has little chance of ever making it to court, let alone getting a favorable ruling, it is representative of the impetus to create regulations that allow adults to abdicate all types of mature responsibility. McDonalds did not create obesity any more than potato chips did.

This may be the most sanctimonious post I've ever seen on DCUM, and that's a high bar. Wow.

I think we can all agree that McDonald's fries are awesome and Americans tend to be overweight and extremely litigious. Or maybe we cannot all agree on anything anymore ...

You're right and that's what I like about America. Right now, people who don't agree on everything can still live together in one nation as long as they don't impose their beliefs on one another (to some extent). I'd hate to see that change.

I completely agree. The point is that the servng of fries is large enough that you can share/split them with three people. Though I have eaten an entire serving myself and a double hamburger with lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, pickles, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard. If it weren't so cold I would go out now and buy a double burger and small fries, a root beer and eat all of it by myself. I only weigh 124 and I am 5'5", so I don't fall into your obesity pot. Though I may if I had this every day. As I only have this about 4 times a year I dont think I have anything to worry about.

You can just buy the toy for $1. I do that when my kids beg, so I don't have to buy the food.

That is not the whole story
The company does aggressively promote their food to young children. Children are consumers. If adverstising to children was useless, there would not be that much advertising focusing on just them. I say good for her

Everyone markets to children. Most kids' programming is created primarily to promote merchandise. And your kids love it and you buy it. From your kids' underwear to their backpacks to the DVDs, it is pervasive.

Given that, I see no reason to pick on McDonalds. They are doing nothing worse than the others.

Holy crap. If you think Five Guys is decent food, check out their rat problems in DC!!!!!!!!

In Georgetown in the summer, you can smell Five Guys' rancid grease for miles. I don't know anyone who would ever eat there!

But thank you, fast-food gourmand.

Bleck.
