Try the angus burger at McDonalds with bacon and cheddar cheese or double quarter pounder ... with those awesome fries. Oh gee didn't the McDonalds inheritors leave several billion dollars to the Salvation Army to feed the poor and Ronald McDonald House funds thousands of families with dying children ... free of charge?

After 40 years I still crave the fries once in awhile. But that's it honest.

McDonald's was rated last or next to last in a Consumer Reports survey on fast food burgers. 

That is all.

LOL. BTW, I have first stage diabetes and decided to go to a nutritionist. She told me McDonald's food could actually kill me.
