SwampNut Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I haven't been to McD in at least ten years. I don't eat breakfast. I also haven't left the house before 9am in many years, because, why the fuck would you? But I was up early and needed to run an early errand, let's be weird. I ate half of my sausage McMuffin with egg. Their breakfast sandwiches were always the only actual edible thing there, and now...not satisfying at all. Just pure junk food with no payoff. I have no idea what I saw in them way back, but my tastes/cravings/addictions have change for sure. I've also totally lost any desire for steak. Oddly for a while I gained a craving for fried chicken, which was not something I ate much at all before changing diet. My gut bacteria are schizophrenic. https://www.gutxy.com/blog/understanding-the-role-of-gut-microbes-on-eating-behaviour/#:~:text=Previous research has shown that,interfere with normal appetite regulation. Gut Bacteria Controls Food Appetite The obesity epidemic and increasing number of eating disorders in people globally suggests there is an insufficiency in our basic understanding of altered appetite. Appetite is fundamental when treating such chronic pathological conditions, therefore, it is crucial to understand how our body generates and regulates it3. Previous research has shown that gut microbial proteins influences the host control of appetite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordzarkon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 LOL You were mighty brave today, props to you for surviving. Been forever since I have even set foot in a MCD. Now back in the very good ole days, I lived and worked not far from their original headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill. They had a flagship store in the corporate building and we could get free burgers for lunch on and off. They did seem to taste better back then, but still was not a fan. Did like the fries tho. Still not going back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biometrix Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well neither I nor my stomach have outgrown McD's yet. Still get food from them occasionally. Admit it's not great and doesn't have the appeal it once did but handy if you just need to shove something quick down your pie-hole and move on. I do like their chocolate shakes though.

superhawk996 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I can't remember the last time I craved McD's, but I think I know what's for lunch today. Two cheeseburger combo, discard the bottom bread from each to create a double cheeseburger, perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 A friend is visiting, and wanted to go for pizza last night. Now, none of the best pizza joints have anything rational to eat other than pizza, so I said fuck it. At least it was a slightly less shitty pizza with a very thin crust and lighter (ish) toppings. Today I'm up 3.7 pounds, I am farting every 45 seconds, and I feel bloated and gassy. I'd forgotten that's "normal" when you're constantly eating trash. I do this to myself a couple times a month for various reasons like company requesting it, and I'm getting less and less tolerant of it when I'm reminded I feel shitty.

Was the pizza cut in squares or normal triangle slices? It's a well known fact that triangle slices digest more easily due to them being the only correct way to cut a round pizza.

SwampNut Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 They were triangular, but I should have asked for a square meal instead. That would have made it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biometrix Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think you've just conditioned your digestive system at this point to healthy food which I have say is pretty un-American of you. You need to immediately turn in your MAGA hat and T-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoWhee Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Unethical LPT for Mc'd breakfast mcMuffin. This works 8/10 times for me when it's busy. I order a sausage mcmuffin, on the app. Receive a sausage mcmuffin with egg. I'm admittedly a "trying to reform" junk food junkie. Mc'D is supposed to be almost the same all over the world, but even between the US and Canada there's a big difference, their meat is different and US chicken nuggets are gross and nothing like the ones in Canada. Maybe I should say more gross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Meat and dairy is better in Canadastan. Even cheap veriaty is actually eatable and tastes like food. In USA something like cheap milk in plastic containers from Walmart tastes like, literally, cow shit. Truly awful. No so much in Canada. Food is more expensive in Canada 🇨🇦 but quality is definitely b etter. On the other hand, beer is way more expensive and definitely behind US microbrews in quality. I always bring my own beer when I go to Canada. Illegally of course.🤐 Edited December 31, 2021 by tomek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, because you're talking about micro brew, it would be a war fought by hipsters. Seriously though, if you're ever in Canada around Montreal, hit me up, I'll get you a list of micro breweries that are worth the detour.There are some amazing micro brews on both sides of the border, but generally I avoid all brewery beers like molson coors etc.. The exception being Yuengling. Q: What do american beer and making love in a canoe have in common? A: It's fucking close to water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. It is expensive here, highly taxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I had some local and localish beer in Jasper/banff/Lake Louis area and it was OK, but I've had better merican brews I've never been in Eastern half of Canadastan, so it is uninformed opinion, but I stick to it for right know.🤐 Now, I was shocked to discover they make pretty good vine in BC. Not cheap, but damn good. Osoyos (spelling?) area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have yet to find any exceptional Canadian beers and I've tried (compared to today's great microbrews and craft). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep the good ones to ourselves, sorry. (not sorry). Anything mass produced is just like McDonalds, it will fill the hole and the crapper, but it's not satisfying.
