Bittman shreds McDonalds "healthy" oatmeal

If that was the only food she ate, lunch and dinner basically, and she
didn't order the grease lovers special, it's not unhealthy. Pizza =
bread with some combination of vegetables, fruits, meats and dairy.

I'm sure everybody will be very sympathetic when you get old and
feeble too... NOT. Has nothing to do with pizza.

Sorry but refer to your quote above. You DID say "three extra regular sized
cheesburgers". I still have no idea what you meant by that. Extra regular?
Or did you order three extra cheeseburgers?

I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years. My mother wanted a milkshake there
once and I was astonished at the price!

His statement was entirely clear to virtually everyone here.

The ice cream cones there are still a good deal, last time I checked.
I can drive across the country just stopping at McD about every 500
miles for ice cream and a black coffee.

The coffee there is always drinkable. If you buy coffee at a truck
stop or gas station in the afternoon, no telling what you'll get.

McDs is very pricy for what you get; a big mac is like $6. When I've
brought the two grands all I had was a cup of coffee, they each had a
Happy Meal... total with tax almost $15. The happy meal burger is kid
sized, smaller than a regular burger, and no cheese, small portion of
fries, and some sort of fruit punch. And the last time was over two
years ago... next I go I will photograph their menu. It costs much
less for a burger, fries, and a drink at a local diner... much better
quality and one of each is plenty for two rug rats to share... but
then there is no clown... I'll have to get a red nose. lol The last
time I actually ate a Big Mac they cost I think 25?... all I remember
is that I tasted it for three days afterwards, and not a good taste.

I don't think McDs sells ice cream, they have soft serve. When I used
to travel x-country I chose truck stops whenever possible; twice the
meal for half the price... coffee always fresh and bottomless cup. Oh,
and truck stops served, and waitresses had Big Mams. hehe

Please explain where I went wrong in reading what you wrote:

unnecessary verbage removed


My reading of your words, spread over a couple of posts, indicates:
- there were three of you
- you bought three-big-ass meals (big mac, quarter pounder, etc..)
- Super-sized the fries and drinks
- the drinks were shakes
- that still wasn't enough food (only 1750 calories per person, using the
most conservative calorie counts for the foods indicated, not including
condiments)
- you add an additional cheeseburger for each person (another 300 calories)
or, worse, multiple cheeseburgers to one persons meal

Your purchase was over 2000 calories per person; the average daily calorie
intake recommended (by the CDC) for the typical woman is 2000 calories,
2500 for men.

Where did my reading of your writing fail?

You're right, it's actually soft serve ice milk. But it tastes good,
and it's lower in calories than real ice cream, and it's better soft
serve than Dairy Queen has.

The truck stops where I stop always seem to be set up more like a
convenience store. The coffee is in a self-serve urn, and it might be
fresh or it might not. Pay your dollar and take your chance I guess.
