After reading recent threads, I'm wondering where all the educated and informed people on here are?????

Who would like to agree that

1)Mcd suxs not just because of what they serve (because they are menu changing but also because they are a boring chain taking over the world and closing small business, pay minimum wages, make max profits, they are not a restaurant, where's the cutlery and table service, do i need to go on?

  1. Alcohol can harm a baby, and it's not really worth a risk, we shouldn't need to drink while pg

  2. Why does everyone's profile list trash US shows- Desperate Housewives, Lost, CSI, etc, etc

Rant over, anyone agree? ah just agree with me

Aloha - stop watching those shite american shows - YOU SO ARE!!!! where did you get that from???

lulumama · 23/03/2007 13:29

LOC...fair enough.....i think you are making a valid point , in there somewhere!

but, at the same time you are questioning a lot of peoples' choices and asking them to justify massive portions of their lifestyle...

if you started another thred to debate globalisation,you would have

BandofMothers · 23/03/2007 13:29

LOC, I'd give up if I were you. You infered that people were uninformed and uneducated, and they will never let you forget that. If I were you I'd name change again and put the whole thing behind you!!!!

foxybrown · 23/03/2007 13:30

But LOC, so as not to be ill-informed I did go back through the thread, so that I could form my opinions and contribute to the thread you started.

IMO, you obviously have your issues with MacDs but rather than choosing to educate you choose to alienate.

FYI
I am educated, because I am lucky and have a background which appreciates the value of it.
I rarely eat in MacDs and choose not feed my children there, however if others do thats their choice.
I am pg but choose not to drink.
I watch a variety of programmes, some on E4 others on BBC4.

You on the other hand are rude.

lulumama · 23/03/2007 13:30

oopss...

you would have a far better chance of the sort of debate you are looking for!

and you are judging ,even if you think you are not, simply through the wording of the OP!!

foxybrown · 23/03/2007 13:43

hmm, but they need to be liked - they at least pretend to be nice.

Rapeseed oil is food all right. It is extremely healthy - healthier than olive oil, low in saturates, high in Omega 2 and 6. Mcdonalds recently announced that by the end of 2007 it will be frying in rapeseed oils that contain less than 2% transfats, meaning that fried goods will contain negligible levels of trans fats. No other fast food chain has said the same.
What do you think those little fish and chip shops and 'local burger places' fry their stuff in??
Do you really think it is realistic for children to bring breakfast, lunch and dinner on a trip? Would YOU do that? What kind of food do you think would provide three satisfying meals and survive a 14 hour journey?
I would rather my kids went to Mcdonalds than some roadhouse where I have no idea what facilities are available and how clean it is.
