McDonalds food isn't all that bad usually (for what I'd expect), sometimes you get a disgusting offering though. I avoid it because of the health reasons and because it isn't all that cheap as far as I'm concerned(when I do decide to get a fast burger I go with a Burger King Whopper, it's actually a decent sandwich, better than the competition, and I can get one for 99 Canadian cents in the evening).

As for McD's suing a food critic? Sounds like they're just trying to intimidate people. That's wrong. Of course, I do wonder why a food critic would bother with McDonalds (unless they were doing a series or an article comparing various fast food places), and I wonder why McDonalds thinks their customer base consults cuisine reviews...

And anyway, doesn't Italy have "Burgeys" ? It's a rip off chain, with a B a lot like the golden arches, and very similiar food but cheaper. Why eat at McDonald's at all?

What did they expect? Five stars? Go figure.

I can't even imagine why McDonalds would think it is in their interest to bring a suit like that?

True, but corporate behavior isn't always rational. It wasn't really in McDonald's interest to bring the "McLibel" suit in England a few years back, either, but they did. A couple of possibilities that occur to me: 1) this is a variation on a SLAPP, 2) McDonald's corporate culture promotes a bullying mentality.

If people aren't familiar with the McLibel case, I'd recommend tracking down a book titled McLibel: Burger Culture on Trial by John Vidal.

With corporate profits actually on the decline for the first time in their illustrious history, I expect they�re a little sensitive back in Head Office.

I avoid McDonalds... besidse the McChicken sandwich, I don't like it. I don't find it as fiendishly disgusting as most of you do, but its not too good.

Wendy's is quite good- I believe the burgers are thicker, and the lettuce is always fresh. And the fries are better.\

Burger King is edible but nothing special, except the fries, i LOVE the fries.

Winner? Taco Bell.

I once ordered a Big Mac (I was only there because my brother had wanted to have lunch there. He actually likes the place. ) and there was so much lettuce on it that I thought that I got a veggie burger instead.

No you didn't, no there wasn't, no you didn't! ( )

Funnily enough, the taste of the big mac can be convincingly recreated with a cheap generic hamburger bun, a smidgen of ground beef, a spread of mayo with a bit of 1000 Isle dressing, a kraft single, and a huge load of iceberg lettuce. I'm not sure why anyone would want to, but someone showed me once.

Ive found that even amoung fast food places they have the worst burgers. Usually i refer to them as the home of the McNasty, McDisgusting, and the Mc can i get some Army or Prison food instead burger.
