I prefer overly simplified analogies to be explained to me in terms of poop. But then, who doesn't?

Sounds to me like McDonald's is some kinda SOCIALIST company we ought to burn down! I say we all go thru their driveway and shout "YOUR FRENCH FRIES AREN'T DOING ENOUGH FOR THIS COUNTRY!" and then go to Five Guys or someplace else.

Good job Trig! You were able to develop a somewhat coherent analysis, albeit it's not linked to a more plausible metric such as the annual impact to a family of 4 with a combined income of $80K. It's nice to see you help your special needs Mom in running her mouth.

I have some new relatives my family married into that are so fat they only go out to drive though at night and order like 100 dollars worth of food and live off that for a week. Don't worry they are all on social security in their 30's, they are being kept away from mainstream society so far. Although austerity measures in the future might put them to work as ballast in industrial elevators or something else they are suited for.

The marriage ceremony was outside in the sun and even 2 rows away I could smell their fat rolls cooking under their tent-sized golf shirts. When the men left to go outside to look through a telescope the groom received for a gift there was 20 trays of appetizers left, when we came in because it got cold there was 5, all vegetable based. They cleared like 5 lbs of deli meat each, lol..

McDonald's is only popular with students and homeless people in PDX, with all the food carts but there are carts that cater to fatties like Big Ass which serves the Gut Bomb and sometimes the deep-fried Gut Bomb which is easily 1000+ calories. <a href="http://www.foodcartsportlan..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.foodcartsportland.com/2009/12/29/big-a...">http://www.foodcartsportlan...

Times are tough; we've all got to tighten our belts. So to speak.

As dumb as this is, it's way better than the millions-of-dollars to years-since-Jesus's-time ratio that was floating around the internet a couple of year ago.
