Typically 100 different cows in a typical McD burger.
Now that's value for money. Unlike your organic cow burger who just happens to have cancer and you've just eaten 100% of the cancer in mince form. At least with a burger having 100 different cows, there's less chance of you eating one cow's minced tumor. 
You a gambling man

I once went for a bike ride after work but needed to eat first so got a mcMeal thing. Within an hour I had the shakes etc (sugar crash/insulin spike?) I can only assume its got a high sugar content
It's not that high, you should get yourself checked out.
a Maccys won't cause that, you're just bloody unfit

There is something medically wrong with you. As suggested, look at the ingredients, and the sugar/salt levels.

Werthers were a bit different, that old bugger was clearly in the habit of dropping a toffee on the floor for some poor young land to bend down to pick up. ds pushing Werthers Originals...Hardly the same league as some minor early stage arterial furring.

Bloody great.Nothing wrong with McDonalds in the same way there is nothing wrong given your children an ice-cream for desert. Do it for every meal and then you are in trouble.
If you put McDonalds on a pedestal and say it is bad then children will just want to go there. Educate them, like you do with everything else, and they will be fine.

That's one perspective I guess.
On the other hand it might mean that the 15 people who didn't go actually had different tastes to this woman and didn't want to go to a KFC when they had the rest of Oxford to chose from.
I'm not going to apologise or be embarrassed about the fact that I think KFC is a damned stupid choice for a business meal for a group of adult professionals.
It wasn't a business meal. It was a birthday.On the other hand it might mean that the 15 people who didn't go actually had different tastes to this woman and didn't want to go to a KFC when they had the rest of Oxford to chose from.

As it was this woman's birthday they bumped up the expense allowance so she could go somewhere special.
She chose KFC.
It was a business meal, it was also a birthday.
I have no idea of your line of work.
But if you were in that woman's position and had to choose a place to eat for 20 people from your company from different sites and different company ranks - would you choose junk food?

And hopefully will grow up understanding that some things which are pleasurable are bad for you in excess - and should be enjoyed in moderation. Hopefully then they won't spend their student years making up for years of junk food abstinence. This is all so funny.
Personally I think it is more cruel not to allow a child some fast food once in a while.
The people saying that their children should be able to make in informed choice... my body is a temple blah blah... what if they turn around one day and tell you what a bunch of cruel barstuards you were for not letting them have a Mc Nugget once in a while.
If they are old enough to say, no it look's tastes like poop, they might also say its nice, and its easy to get while i'm out with my mates after i've been to the cinema.
It IS all about moderation, and whoever compared McDonalds being ok, as the same as eating dirt being ok, that just stupid... we all know kid love to eat dirt!

If you're not used to it maybe? Just looked at a Big Mac, it's just over a fifth of your GL load for the day. Add in the chips, drink, possible dessert, you're looking at half. Big Mac has got more carbs than the apple pie and only 4g less simple sugar, so it seems very sugary for what it is. If you get used to that stuff it might have less of an effect as you become used to the inflammatory aspects.Edited by Halb on Monday 12th August 19:27
