Often I have to stay to lunch at the U. Campus and obviously the food court is the place. McDonald's Combos are quite enough to fill me up for several hours, only when I am too hungry I super zise it. McAbocado is a good one.

All right settle down...

I'd avoid the burger joints. The average fast food greaseburger has 150% of your daily intake of fat. They actively do anything to make it cost less to produce.

I suggest a Canadian solution. Two words:

Get the sandwich deal with a baguette. Drink, donut or bagel, and large sandwich on baguette bread...don't know how much it costs but its worth a try. The sandwich is also really good, and more importantly, really healthy.

Remember that burgers can be of soja too, it tastes almost like meat, but it isn't, and are made in a grill, so no oil.

At least something....

I think the english word is soy. Yes, they CAN be veggieburgers, but they never are at fast food joints. Most fast food joints are too greedy. They want the biggest business, so they make food that's cheap and sort of tasty, and all the while sacrifice any food value. It's disgusting, really, how bad some of this food is for you. I'm not surpised it gives Nav the squitters. It does the same to me.

McDonalds actually laces their patties with a chemical that makes it nearly impossible to vomet.

I used to think so too. Now, it scares me. I've worked at a Wendy's and a Tim Horton's before. The Wendy's was absolutely disgusting. Once you see how the food is cooked you'll never, EVER want to eat it again, because you learn why it tastes the way it does. McDonald's is even worse. They refridgerate their unbought burgers in tubs of fat to cook and serve tomorrow. Working at Tim's was WAY better. No burgers or any of that junk. Most of what you did was coffee, doughnuts, and bagels, but the meals were actually healthy. You had sandwiches, (like I mentioned), soups, and stews. I still like eating there, wich is a rarity, since when you work at any restraunt, expect to not eat there ever again.

That's why I'll never work at a fastfood place, it ruins it. Publix makes great subs, and they make it right there with fresh ingredients for your quality needs :)

Well then it's okay to work at a place like that, because there's nothing gross about preparing the food. I mean, they make it right in front of you. What's to hide? There's a reason why McDonalds isn't like that. All burger-type fast food restraunts never have the kitchen visible. Tim Hortons, where I actually didn't mind working, was pretty open. The counters had glass barriers, but you made everything right in front of the person ordering, of course not for drive-through.

Every time I go to a fast-food style restaurant, I NEVER get filled up. I am charged between $6 - $12 Canadian (which is quite expensive, since the minimum wage here is only $6.85, (not that that's what I make, but just for a frame of reference).

I pay tons of my hard earned cash to buy a "meal", and what do I get? A few microscopic scraps on a plate. And it doesn't matter *where* in the food court I choose to buy my lunch. Almost *all* of the places give you diddly crap in terms of *mass*, even though they take a huge chunk of your money.

Even places like Subway or Mr. Sub, which charge you $9 just for one sandwich and nothing else! They hardly put *any* meat or vegetables on your sandwich! I feel like I am in Ethiopia when I see them skimping abhorrently as they are putting together my "sandwich". After eating one of those, I am *still* very hungry, and *reallly* hungry half an hour after having finished one.

This is an outrage. The fast-food buying public needs to take a stand against being starved by the companies who skimp in every way possible and give nothing more than microscopic portions that wouldn't fill up a bird.

I think fast-food should be made ILLEGAL in Canada until there are laws in place to prevent this crime against humanity - starving hungry people while also stealing their hard-earned cash.

Nav, you're an idiot. You can ask them to put more vegetables on if you want. Mine is usually overflowing with them!

I have only one other comment for this thread...

I don't what happens up there in the North.

But here McDonald's are pretty much in trouble because it was loosing clients, because of healthy issues (as ace mentioned) so now you can find a 4 tipes of Salads (so much salad for about 2 Us dollars) with turkey (cooked only with water), it's quite good....... howeved I have to admint I am a huge fan of McD's orange juice (where the hell they get that good stuff).....

I work at a grocery store, so I just buy some potato salad or macaroni salad or something usually. Healthy, and tasty. ;)

Argh but today I went to A&W and bought a hamburger, shake, and chocolate cookies... :- hope I don't gain 10 pounds ;D Then I went across the mall to E&B and bought a PC Gamer ;)
