You're comparing apples to oranges. Ben and Jerry's is desert, a luxury. Mcdonalds is lunch a staple. You need to compare McDonalds to an equal like Burger King, KFC, Denny's Not to a desert.
It's a poor man's lunch. It's cheaper to eat fat food than it is to eat healthy food even in a grocery store. Sugary, pasta, crap food that is bad for you is cheaper than food that is healthy for you and that is what these people are complaining about. They want healthy food to be as cheap as bad food is.
No the facts are they don't serve lunch and you're comparing apples to oranges.Facts are facts and the facts are Ben and Jerry make people as fat or fatter than McDonalds but they get a pass because they are a well know lib outfit. If they were not people would be demanding they stop using sugar and use low fat cream etc etc etc.

Speaking of apples, McDonalds used to have deep fried apple pies for dessert but the lib food Nazis made them get rid of it. Apples to apples comparison, happy?
When/where did that happen, got a cite?
the reason McDonalds is put under the spotlight is prevalence. my guess is that if there was a B&J on every corner and that most people ate there all of the time, they would be put under the microscope, too. you also don't hear a lot about Red Lobster, and their menu is much more fattening than McDonalds. there are countless other examples of places worse than McDonalds which largely escape scrutiny.
Restaurant food is restaurant food. Loaded with flavor enhancers, fat, sugar, salt, to chum the waters and encourage people to overeat. Fast-food restaurant food is no different. I absolutely agree with you about Red Lobster:
The Seaside Shrimp Trio at Red Lobster, as an example, has 990 calories and a whopping!!! 3630 milligrams of salt and 30 grams of fat. Add their signature caesar-dressed salad and count 280 more calories, 21 grams of fat and 560 milligrams of salt. Add one of their parmesan biscuits, and the grand total of dinner is 1420 calories, 59 grams of fat and 4,440 milligrams of salt (just shy of two teaspoons).
What's the "real nourishment" in this dish? The protein -- the shrimp -- some mashed potatoes -- and not much else.
With a lot of work, one can eat "healthier" in restaurants; but hardly healthy. And it's certainly not cheap either.
i want an admiral's feast with cheddar bay biscuits pretty badly. i haven't had one since 2008. though i have been to the place recently, i chose something less horrifyingly fattening. i work hard to keep off the weight that i lost years ago.
Come on, splurge a little Helix! You deserve it for all that hard work. Take 1-2 people, share the meal, and then take a reeeally loooong waaaalk.
Your memory sucks. They still provide apple slices as an healthy option.It was around 30 years ago, I remember them, YUM!

Are you on crack? They used to have deep fried apple pie until food Nazi libs made them stop.

They still have apple pie, and cherry too. So I don't know what you are talking about.Are you on crack? They used to have deep fried apple pie until food Nazi libs made them stop.

What can't you grasp about this? They were forced to stop having deep fried pie by lib food Nazi's that let Ben and jerry have their way with the ice cream public.
