What are your fast food weaknesses? I always feel like a shmuck after I eat fast food, but sometimes I get a craving and I have to have what I want. Like for example...a Nacho Bel Grande from Taco Bell with NO BEANS. hehehe. Sometimes, I'll even order a side of Mexi Nuggets to go along with it. lol. And Mild Sauce. I also like the Taco Supreme, but find that they never put enough tomatoes or sour cream on the thing, so that annoys me (same deal with the Nacho Bel Grande, what is up with that?)

I also enjoy the occasional Whopper from Burger King, because I feel that Burger King's burgers seem more fresh or something than burgers from other places. Maybe it's the way they cook the meat, I don't know. (Sorry to all the vegetarians for talking about meat!)

Hmmm...that's all I can think of for now, so it's your turn! 🙂

I prefer Burger King and Wendy's when it comes to fast food. I hate McDonald's hamburgers! There is like something so WRONG with them, I don't know how they came to sell so many of them! My daughter will only eat fast Mexican food at Taco John's (something her Dad taught her)...so, I have never tried Taco Bell...
But, I do agree that they don't make the tacos 'made to order' as far as I am concerned! (I prefer my homemade ones...I can put as much as I like of what I like...)

But, this post is about fast food...
So...
I have one last fast food thought...
I think Culver's is good tasting, but, I think they are overpriced and have too much fat in their burgers...not good for someone trying to watch those fat grams!

turnin' it over to the next...

Thanks ladies! Star, you've never tried Taco Bell? It's pretty good as far as fast food goes...god I'm so hungry as I'm writing this my tummy is growling. lol. I had my first day of work today and I was too nervous to eat before my shift and I'm home now, and this is how dedicated to dxpnet.com I am: I am starving but I'd rather post first. lol. Anyway, we don't have a Culvers--what's that? What do they have?

Morgan, I like burritos but only if they're without beans. Do you think I could get the grilled stuffed burrito without beans? lol, I'm curious...what else is on that?

I haven't had taco bell in a long while... I love their hardshell regular tacos... I've been craving cheesy nachos recenttly... But when I'm craving all I do is think about white castle food and I couldn't stomache any fast food.

And the best fast food place is Tim Hortons but we don't have them here in the states 😢

When i hate myself i eat McDonalds! And sometimes when i am pre-menstrual, but then again, I'll eat anything when im pre-menstrual... One night i ate a whole packet of chocolate biscuits, a whole chunk of brie cheese, crackers, sun-dried tomatoes and dips, a pizza and consumed half a bottle of wine. The funny thing is i slept like a log and felt fantastic the next day, go figure.

I suppose my favourite fast food would be pizza hut and hungry jacks, equivilant to 'burger king'. I try to avoid 'hungry's' and the like as i often feel sick the next day. There is just so much fat in those things.

Taco Bells sounds good, i love Mexican!

OH yeah, just thought id add, i try to stay away from McDonalds on principle because i don't like the way they run business. They make young kids work for butter wages and serve up crap, there is absolutely NO integrity in what they do.

When I go to McDonalds, I always get the McFish... And my freinds always make stupid comments on how I get fish at a burger place... I'm not confused, I'm just not into ground meat (Yuch!!!).

Libra, if you're going to boycott McDonald's on that argument then you have to boycott Nike, Reebok, soccerballs, volleyballs, canned food, shrimp, tobacco products, jewelry, Disney, JC Penny, Wal-mart, K-mart, Liz Claiborne, etc etc because they all use Child Labor (aka sweatshops)

Gwendylyn, i see what you're saying. I tried to boycott McDonalds but i got too hungry one day and was desperate. I do try to keep it to a bare minimum though. In response to your argument, it is better to boycott one than none at all, but i am glad you have a political conscience 🙂

Okay...I'm in the mood to revive some old threads.

Has anyone ever tried the Market Fresh BLT from Arby's?

It's to die for...especially if you get with it a side of Onion thingies. And ranch dressing.

And why am I not a blimp. lol...
