i'm eatin' it
You may already know that today is the 50th anniversary of the first McDonald's. Is McDonald's pure evil? Sure. They have made an industry of grinding up dead cow, freezing it, thawing it, frying it, and selling it to people who buy it, ingest it, digest it, and poop it, or at least those portions that don't become fat, heat, kinetic energy, potential energy, or fingernails. Or hair. Or hemoglobin. Or muscle cells. Or any of those other cells.
Nonetheless, in celebration of this special day, I plan to head on over to "Micky Dee's" as soon as I finish this bjournal entry and have myself a big, tasty Quarter Pounder with Cheese, small fries, and maybe a beverage of some sort. This will be my first visit to a McDonald's franchise in four or five years, so I'm very excited, and a bit apprehensive. I hope I remember how to order. Wish me luck!

Posted by: Maureen at April 15, 2005 11:37 PMHaven't you seen Super Size Me??? Also, that's not dead cow, that's dead mealworm.
Posted by: Brooke at April 15, 2005 11:44 PMYes. It was gross! And, oddly, it made me want to have McDonald's.
I think I can handle one Value Meal every few years.
Posted by: Dadid at April 15, 2005 11:48 PMI totally eat at McDonald's about once a week, pretty much without shame. I, too choose the Quarter Pounder with cheese. Good choice.
Posted by: Kim at April 16, 2005 12:12 AMyay! Had it yesterday (thursday) I eat it like once a month when I need something fast and have a craving for salt/greasy bad food. In terms of what it's made of, I've had worse food before in my life. . .
enjoy your Quarter Pounder with Cheese!

Aren't you prohibited from eating meals that combine meat and cheese? Or is that just some ugly rumor I read on the Internets?
Thanks for the tip on the anniversary... but alas, I had become lax in reading your bjournal, and did not get the Good News until today.
Posted by: Bob S at April 17, 2005 1:21 PMJews are prohibited from mixing meat and dairy products. I was not raised to follow this aspect of dietary law for reasons I can go into if you are interested. So, I don't eat unkosher animals (pork, shellfish, most insects, etc.) but I do mix meat and milk.

Posted by: kan at April 18, 2005 5:23 AMOK, but I wasn't referring to Jews, just to you.
Take me, for example. I am prohibited from getting within 100 feet of Justine Bateman. You know, that kind of thing.
Posted by: Bob S at April 18, 2005 6:47 PMFor some reason I imagined you going to McDonald's and sticking a book/magazine under your burger. Just a guess...
