Big Mac or . . . Angus burger?

First of all, if you assume that 1) all obese people live on fast food and junk food and never exercise; or 2) that thin people or those that are more "average" sized (whatever that is) live on healthy foods - then you are WRONG!  I was raised on a farm and we ate what we raised - lots of fresh veggies (or home canned or frozen).  My diet growing up was low carb, moderate protein and lots and lots of veggies.  AND I WAS AN OBESE CHILD, OBESE TEEN AND OBESE YOUNG ADULT.   I have since lost 180 lbs.  But, during all those years of obesity, McDonald's was a rare treat - the nearest one was 30 miles away from my small town - and dessert was saved for Sundays!  I might also add that my blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc were amazingly low.  My doctor said I was a walking contraindication.  When I got older and got a "real job" (typing all day), I started exercising in a gym.  It was at that point that my joints started bothering me.  All those years of walking back and forth from my friends' house to mine or to my grandma's never hurt - but the gym did me in.  I will admit that the obesity contributed to my joint destruction, but not as much as the lupus we discovered I had did.  I didn't get the amount of dates that "skinny" girls did, but I've had my share of boyfriends...mainly because I've never been afraid of who I was.  Is my body perfect now?  Nope.  Are any of you the owner of perfect bodies?  I doubt it - we are all different.  I wish people would stop HATING...hating fat people, hating obesity, hating themselves because they don't look like a fashion model...just stop...if someone wants to eat a burger - let them eat the burger!  Try being responsible for yourselves and your behavior and let people live the way they will.

very true on the exercise too though forgot to mention that.  People get this crap in the drivethrew and sit on their butts all day hints AMERICA is getting fatter and fatter everyday.

hmmm I eat mcdonalds all the time and i'm 6.0 160 8% body fat.  Maybe if ppl actually exercised a little eating this kind of stuff wouldn't be such a problem...

To the haters:

If you don't eat fast food, then stuff some fancy crap in your pie hole and STFU.

I eat lots of fast food.  So I believe I can say this new Angus burger is one of the best being served right now. It definitely compares well next to way more expensive burgers.

I LOVE burgers. And this one is very good. It's that simple.

Just looked it up 51% of your daily FAT is in 1 angus burger, NOTHING ELSE just the freakin burger.  Come on fat america this is where its coming from!  60% of your SATURATED FAT for the day is also in that burger 700mg of salt.  Its a heartattack on a plate, get some real food from the store and cook it!

I used to eat as much as I could at McDonalds when I was a kid but as I grew older I stayed away.  The hamburgers just did not taste like they used to, after being away probably 10 years I tried a couple of their dollar cheese burgers and found that McDonalds had recovered the old taste.  I occasionally will eat a couple of the cheese burgers even though they have gone up a little, I get my order as take out and do not eat or drink anything from there to save money and cut calories.

people still eat at Mikkie D's?

sorry, way too short, compare to Burger King Steak Angus Burger
