That is not a real man! That is obviously a cyborg made by Mcdonald's to get more people to buy Big Mac's. How obvious can they be?

I don't care what anyone says... Big Macs are frickin' delicious.

I can't remember the last time I had one because I usually feel like garbage after I eat any fast food, but they are temporarily good anyway.

Assuming a Big Mac costs about $4 in the US, that's $100,000 spent at McD's!

High cholesterol is caused by your liver producing too much cholesterol, what you eat has little to do with it. It's genetic.

Where exactly did you get your degree Dr. Potluck ?

I believe they are still under 3 bucks here.

But you have to remember when this guy started the chow-down of the BM, they were peobably in the .79 territory....and possibly less. IIRC there was a "big Mac attack" promo some years back where they dropped the price to .5o for a while but you had to also ourchase the soda and fries.

Either way though...dude has spent more than a few dollars on them.

While I'm not quite at this guys level, and the food I eat isn't crap, I've brought from home and eaten the exact same lunch, with no variation at all, every day (a few exceptions for business lunches, etc. but not many) at work for the last 5 years. And I don't plan on changing anytime soon.

You are claiming that high cholesterol is purely genetic? I would gladly argue vehemently against that.

Do genetics play a role? Absolutely. Does a complex array of lifestyle factors also contribute? Without a doubt.

Also have to remember that .79 got you more 39 years ago than it does today, so if the price of the burger followed inflation, it probably is pretty close to buying 100k worth now.
