As of late, for whatever reason, I hear people rationalizing McDonalds burgers by saying that salads contain more calories. This baffled me initially, until I started paying more attention: the problem I notice when I go out to eat with friends is that people put a metric TON of dressing on their salad. Pure calories.
If I don't have time to make one I'll pick up a freshly packed Caesar salad from Safeway or Sobeys, toss the dressing packet in the garbage, and be done. I'm far from the perfect eater, just wanted to address the salad vs Big Mac thing cause I think it's BS.
I don't care to look it up but if I remember correctly from Supersize Me I think at the start of the movie they said there's more McD's than all the other fast food restaurants combined? That's probably why they get picked on the most.
