Inventor of the Big Mac dead at 98. I still remember the stupid jingle from the 70s, and now it's ringing through my head over and over again. My problem with the sandwich was always that it was too sweet! I think it was the "special sauce" which was basically a sugar-loaded thousand island.
"Michael James Delligatti invented the double-patty burger to boost his struggling McDonald’s franchise in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, in 1967. He had to get permission from McDonald’s HQ first, and that took some talking. By 1969, it was 19 percent of his business and, eventually, a big hunk of the fast food chain’s worldwide business. In the United States, a Big Mac is 540 calories, 28 grams of fat and 25 grams of protein—according to the company website."

But the sodas at McD's taste funny so I don't eat there much any more.
How about buy ribeye on sale for 3.99, 15 lb. chunk. My butcher grinds into burger. Or go to Utah or Co. and hunt and kill an elk or deer. Butcher slaughters it for me or I'll do it myself.. Or S.E U.S. Wild pig is plentiful. So are fish and gator duck, you name it. What the F you pansies going to do when the lights go out?

In-n-out double double with fried onion is much better.
When I was a kid big macs were the best but my dad liked to get the ten cent hamburgers when they ran that sale.
I don't even mind the religious messages on the bottom of the cups, nor that they pretentiously call their employees "associates." They pay pretty well.

No, but seriously, your right, and it's much healthier. I love venison burgers, steak, slim jims, anything venison.

Originally posted by KunsooNot even close to being true. Just cattle populations alone are about 20% of humans in EU and 30% in US. Considering that one cow is larger than your average EU resident and about the same as your average US resident, that makes your figure way off. And that's not even counting pigs.

A single Big Mac has 540 calories. Combined with the fact that people order fries and a soda along with a Big Mac, that's quite a lot.
Truth be told, that's not a lot of calories if that's your whole meal (or, for example, with a diet soda). It's actually a lot less than many other popular fast food dishes, which often have well over 1,000 calories.

Even a big mac with a small fries (230 calories) is not terrible if that's really your meal. At about 800 calories, it's about 1/3 of the daily calorie budget for a standard healthy man.
The problem arises when people drink another 300 calories in empty soda calories or supersize the fries or add "dessert" in the form of a shake or apple pie.
We could eat fast food and still be healthy, we just have to eat it smartly and in sensible portions.
