McDonald's - cheap and nutritional?

They may be cheap, and they contain nutrients. They are not very filling though. i had a rugby player working for me once who told me he had 6 cheeseburgers for his tea. Takeaway pizza is the same - not very filling.
Noticed in Aus (the only time i go in Macs as with the kids) that all burgers seem to come with cheese by default these days.

Whenever we go away anywhere we home in on the nearest MacDonalds and have a Big Mac. I wouldn't want to eat them all the time but when I do I thoroughly enjoy them.

But sometimes driving home to cook an evening meal I wish we were the sort of family who could enjoy a burger. I ate in one somewhere in the US and once in the one on the way between Hamleys and fortnums. I look at them tucking in and think no mess nowashing up no shopping.

No, Bags not complete bullshit, but the claim that it's the cheapest and most nutritious food that ever existed in human history, and the way it implies that it should be eaten frequently, are.

The best that could be said about the only MacDeaddogs hamburger I ever had was 'disappointing'. The only hamburger chain that ever came remotely near a decent hamburger was Wendy's, and they gave up on the UK.

The crummy 'Wimpy' was better than MacDreadful's...

I don't agree that it's complete bullshit. It may not be what people want to hear, but it's not bullshit. McDonalds burgers are nutritious.

I don't think your comparison is quite fair, flickety. I think the columnist is talking about eating out, not eating nutritiously on a low income at home.

Great website, Flickety. Jack produces some imaginative recipes for very litte cost. I agree - that McDonald's claim is nonsense. Nothing wrong with a burger very now and again, but to imply they could be nourishing enough to eat frequently is misguided.

I read the article and it is b******s. He quotes a figure of something like $36 to eat nutritional 'good' food.

I suggest he looks at agirlcalledjack.com/category/life-food/. Jack lost her job after her son was born and fed them both on £10 a week. The meals were much cheaper than McDonalds and nutritionally good and varied.
