2 days ago .. and a Burger King Chicken Royale with fries/chips the day before that .. when 'on the road' the 'quickie' is often too convenient and too tasty to resist
Nothing wrong with eating a Maccy D's, if that's what you want to do. Probably not a good idea to base your whole diet around them though.
However, it does make me laugh when people (food snobs!) bang on about the fat content in a Big Mac but think nothing of going to their favourite Michelin-starred restaurant and ordering the cheese board!
Not since the kids grew up and buggered off. Thankfully. They used to prefer Burger King Burgers but McDonalds fries and would quite naturally expect muggins to traipse round in order to fulfil their culinary wishes.
I've had two McDonald's in the last year. I thoroughly enjoyed the sordidness of the affair on both occasions. I regretted my decisions, as one does, in the hours that followed, but there's no point being snobbish about it!
Adults can make their own mind up but I don't like it when I see really young kids fed it regularly as a matter of course. The wife and I having a little experiment on how old we can get our kids before peer pressure, Kids parties or inquisitiveness takes over. So far at 6,4 and 2 none of them have had one yet. We're hoping to get to 10
Yeah I had a lunatic of a friend who gave his daughter at least 2-3 McD's a week for financial and laziness reasons. We tried to explain why it was a bad thing, but he didn't want to hear. Literally, he got angry if we tried to explain it. That guy was nuts. Last I saw, he was off to meet a girl with one leg he met on a Facebook dating thing. But that's another story.
About the same time. I am Gluten intolerant so can't eat the stuff.
Not much evidence there is any such thing. My granddaughter is coeliac and that is an auto-immune disease.
Feel bloated, rabid indigestion - I get that if I eat crap processed bread products. Blaming this on gluten instead of unnatural processing has given the food industry the chance to make squillions selling overpriced gluten free products, some of them stuffed with every additive you can name to make them palatable. Do what I do, make your own pure sourdough bread with nothing apart from flour, water and salt. My granddaughter can eat pure sourdough bread without ill-effect.
Processed bread, gluten free or not, is made so quickly the enzymes in the flour do not break down, so your digestive system has to do it. Wet some bread and squeeze it to turn it into the texture of rubber to see why your your stomach complains. Try doing it with genuine sourdough (not shop sourdough which is normal bread with a bit of sourdough culture thrown in) and it behaves more like a sponge.
Not only that, regular dough continues to ferment in your gut. No surprise it gives an unpleasant sensation as your system attacks it with everything it's got so it's broken down and soft enough for you to shit the stuff out. Stop blaming gluten I say and eat proper bread to get the same relief.

About a month ago. Usually treat myself every few weeks. Like lots of things it's fine in moderation. Some people eat it too regularly though, or feed it to their kids too often which makes it seem bad. Also like many other things it seems to be those that have a problem with it who bang on about it. If you don't like it then fine, don't eat it. Unless something is forcing you to eat it, don't even talk about it.
About 9 months ago on a wet Sunday night with my daughter near Oxford when it was pretty much the only place open where it was easy to park close by after we'd moved her into her temporary accommodation.
