same crap… different wrapper
16 Aug
Sitting in the McDonald’s drive thru waiting to order a highly nutritious meal for my kids, I’m amused by the pictures on the drive-thru menu.
A perfectly assembled hamburger on a dinner plate sitting next to a bowl of fries. An elegant, sit-down meal.
It would be funny if it weren’t so ridiculous.
It’s the same smushed, less-than-picture-perfect, quasi-meat burger that’s about as healthy for you as a tapeworm.
Does sticking it on a dinner plate change anything?
You can put a pig in a gown and it doesn’t make it a princess.
It’s still a pig.
we’ve eaten there so much over the past week or more that reese started to complain about getting the same toy several times. i hate mcd’s, but i’m addicted to the convenience. (sp?)
Only you…only you
Well, I suppose if that dinner plate is on your table at home–and you are surrounded by your family eating the same crap, the quality of the time spent together balances out the lack of nutrition. Yes?
The calories don’t count unless the food actually looks like the picture.
I’m buying into your logic, Cari. I think.
