    Italy has some of the most wonderful food in the world. Delicious coffee. Yummy wine.

    Their beer tastes like recycled dog piss.

    Chicken nuggets do not taste as good as Shelter mice ... I have the pellets to prove it,,, Shelter mice are low in fat, little or no fat, lack Sodium and are very healthy.... Don't need a clown to tell me this.... just saying. I love it!

    I believe you were going for; "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, onions, pickles on a sesame seed bun."

    Though the "all beef" is a technicality, as while all of it does come from the cow, it's not all meat/fat. A lot more over the years has become filler, including the recently famed "pink goo/slime". That and the chemical barrage of artificial preservatives and taste additives. There is a reason some of us call them "Mc-Death burgers".

    Also, the high salt content makes you thirsty. Sure, they now offer free refills while you dine in, but the majority of customers don't dine in, and you subconsciously recall that you were thirstier last time you ate there, and order the larger drink. Also, the mind is programmed to remember where it got sodium, since it's something the body needs, but isn't usually plentiful in instinct level food sources, so the primitive brain influences desire to return to plentiful sources of it.

    Fast food, and it's marketing is so wrapped up in the science of creating and nurturing addiction that it should be criminal. They are no better than crack dealers on the corner really.

    I can eat two double cheeseburgers and still be hungry. If I made those same burgers at home in same proportion I couldn't eat both all the way.

    You know, I never did get around to watching that one. Yeah, I don't drink soda anymore anyway, and really avoid fast food 99.99% of the time. Even if I do for whatever reason, I just drink water.

    Well, actually, I think the pseudo-science based "nutritionists" that have flooded the media with scare tactics about the Evils of fast food are right up there. Like convincing ourselves that we have to shop at Whole Paycheck, er... Whole Foods to eat healthy. Funny how people are living longer and longer, with fewer health problems after having gorged ourselves for decades on such horrible food! Congratulations on being brainwashed by popular media.

    There are a lot if conjobs and snake oil salesmen on both sides.

    Personally I believe the simple rule that If you can't pronounce the ingredients, or of your great-grandmother (or someone in her generation) would recognize it as food, then you probably shouldn't eat it.
