[Closed] Mcdonalds breakfasts for pre riding...........

I know their hash browns are just full of fat but why do they taste so nice.

road trip food!

road kill food!

food??? it's the same when it goes in as when it comes out......

golden arches, beer and porn= road trip

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM why does something so bad taste so good?????

i often get runny poo when i eat McD's...

Plus you get your moneys worth with the Hash brown as you will be burping them all morning.

they're yet to respond to my request for the address of their vegan branch, which must exist given that their latest ads state that "there's a mcdonald's for everyone"...

I guess you can have a big mac without the pattie in it.

Not many Macdonalds 'restaurants' up in the mountains. Thank ****.

I am surprised anyone remotely concerned about their level of fitness would ever consider eating in MacDonalds or any other similar place. And no, I do not buy into that 'everything in moderation' when it comes to those purveyors of hydrogenated fats and slave labour!

Yuk food, i use the term food but do not want to offend anyone with my term for it. Even their coffee is crap.

Hard to tell where the 'food' ends and the packaging begins. Vile sruff.

McDonalds - "Warning - may contain traces of food."

I do love seeing the McDonald's reactionaries. You can predict the knee-jerk postings every time and it is the same diatribe.

As fo 'slave labour' - WTF?

You are supposed to be educated individuals. It is convenience food - worse than some, better than some. They are open about what they serve and what it contains - seems fair enough.

its alright for a snack. its not gonna kill you unless you eat it all day every day.

can't get it here though. tavistock is about the only place in the world the mcdonalds did really badly and shut down. we're getting a lidl instead....

it's the erosion of cultures that gets me about mac d's. people can take or leave the food i guess but for every mac d's that springs up, there's one less chippy or one less greasy spoon. say what you like about the healthiness of f&c or an english breakfast but they are as much a part of our culture as going out on pens in the quarter finals. it's even worse to see them in france or spain or italy, countries where there is a richer culture of cuisine.

another top troll from the op btw.

Not for me thanks, wouldn't touch the stuff.

K

I found it strange to see one in Marrakech.

My wife made me go to Taybarns - the Ultimate Eatery yesterday. If you think MacD's is bad, try this place. I'm never going back.

nutritionally sh1t.
but tastes nice.
however - i wouldn't. i'm far more careful of my diet these days.

Never going back to the wife??? good on you, that'll learn her...... 🙂

Can't get McDonald's in the Lake District. Or Burger King. Or Pizza Express. Or KFC, or any other of the junk food chains. Planning authorities have used common sense for once and won't let them in.

Yeah good - get the **** out of the countryside I say. All that lard just sits in your stomach and takes ages to digest.

I think the coffee's pretty good actually, and it's cheap too.

I do love [url] http://www.makeupyourownmind.co.uk/ [/url]

Some criminally funny questions and answers - I especially like the three second rule myth...

I like McDonalds, as do British farmers who would rather sell to McD than the supermarkets - by all accounts they demand a demand good quality and are prepared to pay a fair price. I'm not sure about slave labour either, I think the outlet managers on on around £35-45k, and it trickles down pretty well. Plus, they've been granted an official Awarding Body so they can offer their often unqualified staff, a path to getting a qualification on par with GCSEs. Pretty responsible, I think.

I'm sure they've been pretty dodgy in the past, but they do appear to have become more responsible now that they carry so much influence. Bit like what Peter Parker's dad said, really...

Mc Lard!

Fast food is designed to taste good. In order to do that they add salt, sugar and fat. That is extra to what is there 'naturally'.

It is manufactured and deficient.

It is also designed to make you want more. So you can never be satisfied by it.

The more you eat the worse it is.

Please, don't do it...

I used to work in a store in the late 80s and was allowed 5 items for my lunch - can't think it did me any harm. I've rarely eaten fast food since though and not for years now - I suppose I think I'm above that sort of thing...though I was a fan of their vanilla milk shakes and would have one if in the mood and was by a store.

I think they're good for workers really as someone with little qualifications could end up having a career there if they're the right sort of person so that's a good thing - a McJob isn't such a bad thing.

what by Dr Evil,does he protect it with the sharks with guns on?

or do you mean it tasted nice so you want some more

8 of us had one in Macclesfield on the way to Llandegla today, as Tesco's was shut for a brekky. We didn't feel any adverse effects and Maccy D's have to be treated with the same ethic as most things - everything in moderation. A little bit of anything does little harm, but if you abuse it, it will harm you.

I like keeping fairly fit, but seeing as I smoke, drink and other things I'd not care to mention, the odd Maccy D's isn't going to send me to an early grave, is it?

what by Dr Evil,does he protect it with the sharks with guns on?

not quite, but worse!

there has been some interesting lab work done where rats have basically gorged themselves to death...

thats what they are aiming for (-1) obviously as a dead consumer is no use...

Pizza Express - junk food???? Freshly cooked and not massive pizzas, olives, good wine and coffee, first class desserts, almost perpetual two for one offers.

Sure you can eat something that might have a fair few calories in it but have you seen Masterchef?

read something recently that said pizza express was not bad (way better than the supposedly low fat offerings...). Not too much cheese and thin bases. I like em...

oh deserts? they are for the lab rats...

I do love a good Maccies but not before a ride. Ever since the brekkie I had at Wall island on the way to the chase were it just sat in my gut I wouldnt have one before a ride.

I used to work in the Sutton Coldfield branch in the early 00's and they were a good company to work for much better than Sainsburys the store managers get paid a fair amount £30k+ and get a pretty decent company car our area manager must have been on nearly £50k and had a 330 coupe as a company car. Rumour had it that his house and bills were paid for by the company too.

I often think about opening up a franchise but dont have the balls or business experience (yet).

Oh and xherbivorex have a look here. They used to do a veggie burger but its not on the site anymore. I guess its because veggies are too self important to visit McDonalds and buy one.

MetalHeart - are you sure your username shouldn't be 'TinFoilHatHead'? I'd love to see your sources for those fairly wild claims - and have them linked to McDonald's UK.

Please show me something to prove you are not just spouting the usual left of arc reactionary rubbish.

I would say not the best pre-ride food. Not exactly overloaded with the useful stuff for a long ride like complex carbs etc. That said prob better then nothing.

And a little indulgence every once in a while does no harm hey. And with regards to wanting more after eating, of course its got all those nice things the human body craves, sugar, fat etc... Pretty easy to play on an evolutionary throwback where we are programmed to crave high calorie food stuffs.

I`ll stick with a nice bowl of porridge tho as McD's seems to make my insides all wrong 🙂

McDonalds breakfast would give me epic trail poos

hora - have you ever been on a ride to necessitate eating a pre-ride breakfast? 😉

No your right, I'm just a mountainbike groupie 😯

Its the nerds in oversized shorts, geeky glasses and pasty thin-arms that does it for me 😈

I'm pretty sure if you look on the back of the trayliners it says the veggie deli sandwich [i]isn't[/i] suitable for vegetarians!

Can't seem to find a list of veggie products online though.

it's even worse to see them in france or spain or italy, countries where there is a richer culture of cuisine.

Agree about the cultural content. It's not much the junk food the problem, it's the fact that it's unified junk food. I'd much rather get food poisoning from and fried haggis than from a McDo.

Thats another thing. WHY does ones finger ALWAYS go through the paper with trail poos?

ffs hora why am i unsurprised you can't even organise yourself enough so you don't have to take a 5hite when you're riding a bike?
you are aware that other people read this stuff aren't you?
