Re: Shrinking Fast Food

[ Edited ]

@Azcowgirl

Several years ago, my neighbor was treating me for lunch at Outback Restaurant in Oxnard, CA. I ordered fish and a side of baked potato. The piece of fish was small and the plate was large - making the lunch look like it was for a child. Years ago, when u went to a nice restaurant, u got soup or salad; fish/meat, potato and a vegetable. Remember when the waiter would bring a basket of rolls??? Now u have to ask for it - they're hoping u don't. The prices at Outback are HIGH and I'm a small female who doesn't eat a lot - and I left hungry. I emailed Outback Corp. and they said that people could order the salad separately. I NEVER went back.

I don't like a public place pushing their values on me. I still eat there, but I don't like all their policies.

I haven't eaten fast food in 30 years, so I wouldn't notice or wouldn't care. Fast food is SO UNHEALTHY - way too much with fat and sodium.

Hmmm.....you haven't eaten fast food in 30 years. I don't understand why you would read and post to a thread that is of no interest to you and about which you have no knowledge.

Because I this is a public forum. Fast food now is NOT much different than it was 30 years ago. It's still UNHEALTHY, JUNK food.

Two days ago, my refrigerator was bare --- I'm in southern Calif. and it's been raining a lot - so I preferred to stay in. I ordered nextday delivery from Costco - and yesterday my order was delivered by a couple - in their van. You need to order $35 or more -- which is so easy. I ordered their rotisserie chicken; frittatas; spinach and artichoke quiche (2 in a pack); Jimmy Dean turkey sausage links,2 loaves of rye bread; naked green machine juice; lobster bisque soup (2 containers in a pack); organic tortilla chips plus a few other items. Total $96.

Better food and cheaper than eating out.

So Worth It!!!!!

Years ago, I read articles about McD's putting pink slime in their burgers.

Yes, I agree with you that most fast food is unhealthy, but this thread is not about the healthiness of fast food. Hence my confusion about why you posted.  

 

But, I suppose you are correct...on a forum such as this, posts don't have to be relevant to the topic under discussion.

@kivah

 

another reason why I hate McD in particular-overpriced and horrible👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

 

Once in awhile we go to Wendys he can get his $4 meal while I enjoy the salads.

 

We didn't grow up on fast food, neither did my kids I cooked every night or on weekends for the week since they were pretty active in sports.  

 

I still enjoy cooking and knowing what is in our food🙂 and to me I don't care what the cost is because I know it's good!
