i saw one mumsnetter openly anounce that her kid had a happy meal and wondered.

no, i am being serious in asking this question - maybe mn isn';t as arsey as it used to be - i dunno

i certainly try not to go in maccy D's becuase its killing the planet and taking over the world.

howver it does the best coffee imo - kenco - so not baby killer.

what say you

i am sure there is an argument about the shitey ingrediants etc.

what is the mn collective view of maccy D's these days?

Because this is mn and we have to conform to the mn norm

dragonbutter- methinks there is a fry/chip on your shoulder.

Seriously, i don't care what other poeple do with their money/lives/kids/eating habits.

Lfe is too short...

I DO care very much about what I do with my money and buying power and how i teach my kids to be.

dragonbutter · 14/03/2009 23:18

the mn norm?
would that be the terribly up its own arse sub culture, which, if your not careful you could think the whole world actually does only buy organic/ethically farmed/dont smack/shout/ get drunk one a fortnight/never eats chicken buggets/fried food/ meal plans and bakes from scratch?

damn, wrong again.

DS always has carrot sticks at McDs. [smug]

He particularly likes dipping them in ketchup.

dranonbutter ...yeah thats the one [hic]

oopsagain · 14/03/2009 23:21

my any amount of shite was just to counter the SM post really, it was in jest.

dragonbutter · 14/03/2009 23:21

i thought it was a myth.
Custardo told me this was not so.

You mean I'm not alone

Love the sausage and egg mcmuffin. Really love it and think it's brilliant.

I sneak away and get one very occasionally. My mom used to take me there quite a bit after doctor's appointments or ballgames.

That said, I won't take my DD there. It's just not good for you, and when 'you' is me, that's one thing, but when you is her... well, I'd rather her not have my sausage and egg mcmuffin cravings!

I also must say that the fact that it always has a toilet facility for its customers is a plus in my book.

oopsagain · 14/03/2009 23:26

lol, we have done the macsh*t beofre

gemmiegoatlegs · 14/03/2009 23:30

I heart chicken buggets

dragonbutter · 14/03/2009 23:31

gemmiegoatlegs · 14/03/2009 23:33

MintChocAddict · 14/03/2009 23:40

Had a McFlurry today.

Yummmmm.

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 14/03/2009 23:46

LOL I can't remember implying that anyone is inferior.

Just their taste buds.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 14/03/2009 23:49

To me, "McFlurry" always sounds like soemthing you take Dioralyte for.

eg:

"I can't come to work, I've got the McFlurries"

dragonbutter · 15/03/2009 00:01

you don't like chips then herbea?

MintChocAddict · 15/03/2009 00:02

LOLOL Mary.
That's what I'm going to say the next time I have to phone in sick to work.

MintChocAddict · 15/03/2009 00:02

LOLOL Mary.

MintChocAddict · 15/03/2009 00:03

So funny, I posted twice.

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 15/03/2009 00:05

I larve chips.

Just not the McD ones, they taste funny and when they are cold, they are really vile.

IMO of course.

dragonbutter · 15/03/2009 00:07

who eats them cold?

i will admit to preferring burger king though.

stop eating cold chips and you might enjoy it more.

HerBeatitudeLittleBella · 15/03/2009 00:13

LOL not keen on them hot either. But other chips which have gone cold, don't taste so dramatically different cold.

I just don't like that kind of food. Really, I don't. Just as there are some women in the world who don't fancy Johnny Depp.

dragonbutter · 15/03/2009 00:15

i don't fancy johnny depp, so i guess we're not ever going to agree.
oh well.
