I saw SuperSize Me for the first time the other day.
Lets just say I'm more wary of eating McDonald's now.

Ar, it's all shite.
That's shite with a capital shite.
I'm not even sure how it qualifies as food.

Ah, yes, but . . .
. . they are clearly providing what the consumer wants. If they tried to sell healthy food they'd be creamed by whoever didn't.

That's starting to happen, albeit slowly
There are a lot more "fresh" and "healthy" fast food joints around here now, particularly the upscale Taco Bell ones like Qdoba and Rio Wraps.
Even McDonalds is heavily promoting their salads.

Horses for courses. Enjoy your tastes.
It's why you can have several restaurants in one town.
I'll roast beef bones for stock or reductions, but I don't use the rendered fat for much. I've used goose/duck grease for deep frying and found it wonderful. Your mileage has obviously varied.

maybe the fact that rancid goose fat and vinegar
was smeared on our chests everytime we had a cold might have something to do with it.
thanx,

Why?
No really, why? I mean, I obviously think it's bogus, but what did someone think was the basis of that one?

actually vinegar does assist in drawing down a fever
the goose fat was to draw out the poison, I thought everyone knew that. Native Geordie Medicine.

Nah
More of a case of the cure being so horrible that the patient will make an extremely aggressive assessment of their well-being in order to avoid getting some more of it.

Hah! McDonald's Salads
If you have the one with the ranch dressing, it's actually lardier than a burger.
I'm sure I read that on the internet, so it must be true.
Edit: I did! I did! [link|http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/44895/are_mcdonalds_salad_dressings_healthy.html|clicky].
If I need food on the hoof, I'll head for Subway where I'll have the more-or-less fat-free chicken teryaki with all the salad and no sauces or dressings. Twas a revelation, that sarnie.

Beat me to it.
Yes, McDonald's are heavily advertising their 'healthy' salads. That is, until you add the dressing. The fact that their salads have *more* fat than a burger is mentioned in the movie, BTW.

I don't.
McDonald's is the one I basically grew up with (as distinct from 'grew up on'), although Sydney, Australia has also had KFC (nee Kentucky Fried Chicken), Red Rooster and Pizza Hut since forever. Subway, Hungry Jacks/Burger King, Oporto and Taco Bell are much more recent.

Do they serve Vegemite in those places?
My understanding is that fast food ingredients are adjusted to match the palettes of the locals, but I would expect that Vegemite would still be off the menu at McDonalds. True?
Cheers,
Scott.
(Who's never had Vegemite.)

I can tell you that most of those
provide roasted green chilis as a condiment in New Mexico - otherwise the locals wouldn't touch them.

It's available.
In the McDonald's breakfast menu, Vegemite is available for spreading across an english muffin or slice of toast. And in some of the more conventional hamburgers (not the classic, well-known ones), sliced beetroot is added to the filling.
I don't know about the other outlets. I've yet to find a non-chain sandwich shop that doesn't have Vegemite, but I've never asked at Subway.
