"McDonald's Corp. announced Tuesday that it will display nutrition information on the packaging for most of its menu items next year."

I really want a Big Mac now. And some fries. Before that nutritional info comes out. [Oh, I know it's got 957 calories and 689 grams of fat and is made up of poisoned meat and saw dust; just let me have my illusion for a moment.]

Of course, we have the good ol' Culver's ("home of the butter burger") and a place called "Rumble Seats" which served me up the greasiest most yummy burger I've had in years not that long ago. So who needs that yucky fat/salt-taste on their tongue? 'Cept thinking about it makes me want it.

I think my body's going into winter mode, craving all this fat.

I think my body's going into winter mode, craving all this fat.

No joke, my wife swears that in the winter my body pelt gets thicker.

*g* Yeah, isn't this about the time that all the food is being gathered for the winter and we're getting ready to hang out in the cave? damn evolution.

I was thinking the same thing last night when I scarfed down two helpings of spaghetti. Winter makes me hungry. ;)

Do they want people to NOT eat at McDonald's? Don't they know that since there are no labels on the food, it has no fat or calories? I may be a Fatty McFatbutt, but there are limits to what I will consume while the nutritional information is staring me in the face.

They're trying to promote this healthy image. Ah, here's what it says in the same AP article: "The company has long maintained that its food can be part of an active, balanced lifestyle." Just like Count Chocula cereal.
