I know its not good for us, but McDonalds burgers can NOT be made at home..lol. I dont know what it is about some of these places, but their food is OILY and GREAT. I know that Americans eat more fast food than anywhere else. SO how many of them "8 billion served" at McDonalds do you account for? lol

I only get to the city where Mc's are every 7 weeks, I alterate McDonalds with Hungry Jacks each time I go there.
I grab a quick easy meal for the trip home for myself and my son.
So I'd say once every 14 weeks I would buy a Fish Burger and a McDonalds double pounder with cheese.

Well i don't like eating in fast food restaurant. The ultimate reason is that it's an expensive meal and very little portion for me, and also it's not healthy. I like eating in a food stall. well there are many food stall in my country. It's cheap, delicious and sufficient portion for me (well there are some of them, give a large portion and cheap one too, but the taste isn't that good). Well they are usually sells my country traditional food.:)

We're trying to be really frugal but still healthy, so we don't go to fast foods anymore. We just slowly got out of the habit of going, and now we don't even think about it.

In the last 2 years,my g/f and I have probably been in McD's 2 times.We do stop at Burger King when we go to another city to see my father(about once every 2 or 3 weeks)and maybe 1 time a month order pizza.So we MAY eat out 4 times a month or so.
I use to go to McD's when I was collecting hockey cards,but have not done that in a few years.

fastfoods are always fat foods . . . i only go to fastfoods when really time constraint. we are kinda health concious in the family that we only eat out only when occasion calls. homemade meal is always a number one choice!

My mom always cooked when I was growing up, so we didn't eat a lot of fast foods. In highschool my friends and I would hit McDonalds once in a while. I started teaching myself to cook at 20. It became a way to express my creative side. So, I rarely ever eat fast food. If I do, I usually get a deli sandwich, or order a pizza. That's only when I'm swamped and don't have time to cook, which is on average..once every 2 months. Okay, so I've become a bit of a food snob, lol

I disagree. In fact the way to make a big mac, just make a burger and add Thousand Island dressing to it. Anything else just look up on the web. Then you can make it the way you want it (really) and use a Forman grill to drip all the grease off the burger.
I try not to eat out to often. Unfortunately, when we do eat out, we hit the fast food. It is about all we can afford.

It's been many years since I ate at McD. It's not just because I no longer eat meat; it's the whole atmosphere of those places, the shiny surfaces, flourescent lights and silly costumes. Then there's the question of the meagre wages that staff are paid... and I haven't even mentioned the ingredients... yuk!

I eat maybe every two weeks or every month or so. When I go to a disability rights action twice a year, however, they give it to us every day for lunch.

we don't always get foods from restaurants or fastfood chains 'coz we prefer homemade dishes to eat healthy ones. only occasional that we pick or have delivery for foods 'coz we really don't know how it was prepared or what's inside the ingredients.

We only eat fast food once or twice a year while traveling. This type of food is not something a person should eat on a regular basis. I understand that they are taking steps to make fast food more healthy but still.....I cook most of the food my family eats at home. I know what's in it and can feel a lot better about them eating it.
