Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is unbelievable. I have never seen such a reaction to a food product then Mc's fries. Don't we have enough problems with Celiac, that we have to eat a product that causes earlier deaths for humans (and Celiac's) then gluten can begin to. How about apple's, orange's, banana's, anything that does not have partially hydrogenated oils in it. Try it you'll like it (maybe :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I eat plenty of fruit, and mcdonalds fries a few times a year, at most. However, it is the idea that something that has been recognized as a safe and a " normal " american diet experience (like a beer, a hamburger and fries has resonance for many people) has been removed as an option from us that I believe many people object to. Additionally, many celiac little ones can feel excluded and left out because they can't participate in a lot of the dietary experiences that are part of their friend's lives- for example chuckie cheeses etc. I have seen " Super size me " and I liked it- it did " turn me off " of junk food, especially large portion sizes, although I was never " on " junk food to begin with. But if I want to eat something bad for me (that doesn't contain gluten) once in a while, I will. And as an EXTREMELY healthy former silly-yak kid, let me tell you that apples, oranges, bananas, rice and fish get REALLY OLD after a while. And if you think I'm mad about Mcs, you should have seen me when they put gluten in the Boca Burgers. I'm still fuming about that. > > This is unbelievable.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I don't think that you understand where some people are coming from. On a regular basis I could care less that about the fries for the most part. It's when we travel that it gets to be a problem. We actually travel quite often because we live 7-10 hours from our families, depending on where we go, and that's a long time to not eat a meal. We don't like to always stop at a sit down place when we are traveling that far because we just want to get there. So, what I am saying is that it takes away that option, which is a HUGE deal to us. Don't judge people for what they choose. It's even worse for people with kids because again it takes away that option. And I believe someone said that it makes kids feel " normal " to be able to go there with friends. So, I guess what I am saying is that unless you know these people that are upset, you can't really speak about their lifestyles and why they choose what they choose. Please don't take offense. I am just trying to defend myself and maybe some others too. Rhiannon > > This is unbelievable. I have never seen such a reaction to a food product > then Mc's fries.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I was a little offended, but then realized that probably didn't get the bigger picture. My son LOVE fruits and vegetables, in fact I often have to hold his veggies hostage until he eats some of his meat and other stuff at dinner. However, McD's is a treat and he loves to get a Happy Meal. It's the only kid-friendly restaurant we can go to...and now even that is out. Trust me, I agree that it's not good for us and all that, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.... Sigh....

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 What's hard for me to comprehend is how an order of fries constitutes a " meal. " Not nearly filling enough and, of course, they're terrible for you. This is not a junk food rant or critcism of your lifestyle, because, believe me, I eat more junk food than I should. When I travel long distances I carry fruit, tuna salad, cooked chicken legs (Tyson precooked ones are GF), yogurt, vegetables, deli meat, Vienna sausage, cheese, nuts, chips, and on and on. richard --- Rhiannon wrote: > I don't think that you understand where some people > are coming from. > On a regular basis I could care less that about the > fries for the most > part.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm not saying that it's my meal. I'm just saying that it's an option. I too carry a lot of food, but not for the traveling, but for the stay/visit. Our families aren't ever prepared for us to visit, food wise, so I have to bring what I can. Plus, it's not just me that needs/wants to eat. I hardly ever travel by myself. I agree with you that it's not a great meal. It is just sometimes what works for us.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm not saying that it's my meal. I'm just saying that it's an option. I too carry a lot of food, but not for the traveling, but for the stay/visit. Our families aren't ever prepared for us to visit, food wise, so I have to bring what I can. Plus, it's not just me that needs/wants to eat. I hardly ever travel by myself. I agree with you that it's not a great meal. It is just sometimes what works for us.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm sorry but I don't see what's " not fair " about my comments. An order of fries isn't a meal for me and so I said so. I also gave some advice about what I do when I travel. Some folks might read that and think, " Hey, I didn't think of or know about some of those things. " And as I said, I'm not Mr. Pure. I eat at Hardee's and 's sometimes. richard --- " Calacci, Bridget " wrote: > I don't think it's fair to make comments about > people's diets, or how > they travel.
