I\u2019m sitting in my cube, and I overhear some of my co-workers talking about their weekend.\u00a0 One of them is bitching because he\u2019s concerned that his in-laws are going to make his kids fat, because they went to McDonalds over the weekend.\u00a0 And then the inevitable statement that he\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0goes to McDonalds, and that they\u2019re somewhere along the lines of the worst stuff on the face of the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, his in-laws did what all stereotypical red-blooded, all-American, salt of the earth white grandparents do with their grandkids \u2013 spoil them and feed them unhealthy foods.\u00a0 A trip to McDonalds isn\u2019t going to destroy the health of two toddlers if the everyday parenting is good.<\/span><\/p>\n But back to the point, why do so many people think they\u2019re above McDonalds?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Personally, I don\u2019t go to McDonalds, because they\u2019re simply not good for me.\u00a0 But I\u2019m not going to say that I don\u2019t like their food at all, because it\u2019s completely false.\u00a0 There are times when I\u2019d love to have a Big Mac or some Chicken McBoots with a side of as many fries as my stomach could house.\u00a0 That shit is delicious, in the worst sort of way, and I\u2019d be flat out lying if I ever said that McDonalds was the lowest possible denominator on the food chain.\u00a0 Why so many people seem to think that eating tree bark or live earthworms as a superior option is completely beyond me.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t really get it either.\u00a0 A part of me think it\u2019s some form of societal snowballing which has led to this reputation that there\u2019s nothing worse on the planet than McDonalds food, which is why so many people have this notion that they\u2019re above McDonalds in general.\u00a0 Sure, the food\u2019s not the greatest quality in the world, but I\u2019m willing to bet that every single person likes something that is universally considered unpopular by others too.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, McDonalds is pretty crappy food and it\u2019s not good for anyone in excessive quantities. But I\u2019d like to see more people cut back on the hyperbolic hive-minded opinion that it\u2019s akin to AIDS on the list of worst shit on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m sitting in my cube, and I overhear some of my co-workers talking about their weekend.\u00a0 One of them is bitching because he\u2019s concerned that his in-laws are going to make his kids fat, because they went to McDonalds over the weekend.\u00a0 And then the inevitable statement that he\u00a0never\u00a0goes to McDonalds, and that they\u2019re somewhere … Continue reading Why do so many people think they\u2019re above McDonalds?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,56,90,15],"class_list":["post-33825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-fail","tag-food","tag-hypocrisy","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33825"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33827,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33825\/revisions\/33827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
