What do you normally order at McDonalds?

Like I'm going to fall for that ploy, SlowwHand.

Salads are nice. If McDonalds 'salads' bear as little relation to real salads as their 'burgers' and 'fries' bear to real burgers and fries then they'd be pretty disgusting.

I doubt there's that much of a difference between fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and olives at McDonald's than fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and olives elsewhere.

"You can choose your salad, topping and dressing. You can mix and match to suit your diet and lifestyle," said a McDonald's spokeswoman.

However, consumers hoping to lose weight by switching from burgers to salads may be disappointed, according to the Interactive Nutrition Counter on the McDonald's Web site.

For example, on the new menu to be launched at the end of this month, a "Caesar salad with Chicken Premiere" contains 18.4 grams of fat compared with 11.5 grams of fat in a standard cheeseburger.

I do find it amusing to hear a Brit talking about real burgers . Wait until you try a Hardee's Thickburger or something, not those pathetically undersized thing in the Isles.

How is that ****ing possible, Mike?

The dressings and chicken and stuff are really bad for you. Don't believe the marketing!

It's all in the dressing. A salad from McDonalds is just as healthy as one from somewhere else if you don't put the dressing on and/or use a light dressing. Caesar salads are just loaded with fat anyway - again, almost all in the dressing and bacon, if it come with it.

From one month!

That's not the guy I was talking about. That one, supposedly, only eats a couple of BigMacs a day, and nothing else. I'd lose weight rapidly on a such diet, so I guess he's gotta be quite small and don't do much physical activity.

I don't use the entire package of dressing though.

* Unless your an evil human who orders diet cokes.

We had a thread on this already.
