I was never a huge fan of McDonalds but,
since I read
Fast Food Nation a few years ago, I won't touch the stuff. At a push, I'll eat at Burger King, but only if there's no viable alternatives (i.e. when I'm at a motorway service stop in the middle of the night).
Not to mention the fact that even setting foot in a MaccyD's marks you out as a Burberry-wearing numnut of the highest order.

I have also consciously avoided
fast food chains since reading that.

It was the "there's shit in the meat!" comment
that did it for me, although I'd been a bit wary ever since a tour of their kitchens, when I was a nipper.

^This.
Super Size Me was the thing that confirmed that McD was truely evil, rather than just being evil.
Fish and chips are my sole takeaway vice. Making your own burgers is a far nicer way to do things.

Speaking of which,
I must have another go at homemade veggie burgers.
Thanks for jogging my memory!
