Big Mac

I had to run a few errands today and was listening to the local news station for updates on the snow storm headed our way

In between the weather reports, I heard a report about a fast food restaurant ban near DC. Prince Georges County Maryland, if I heard it right

They are not planning to shut down existing burger and taco joints, but to stop issuing the required building permits needed to build additional stores.

Their reasoning was to help end the obesity problems, and to control trans fat, and a bunch of other worthless none sense

They also reported that other " sit down " restaurants would not be included in the ban, as the members of this highly educated panel said that these " sit downs " were much more healthy than the dollar menu's we are used to today.

The first thing this report made me want to do was grab a Big Mac.

What happened to choice ? Why is it that we cant decide for ourselves what we want to eat ?

I will support my Big Mac, and the occasional Whopper with cheese.

I will continue to praise the dollar menu.

Sometimes we just don't have the time, or the cash to sit back at the Olive Garden, or the Red Lobster.

I do enjoy those places, but sometimes you need a drive-thru

I Got Angry

I made a trip to town on Monday, and at around 2 in the afternoon, My son and I realized the fact that we had not had lunch
With McDonalds on one side of the street, and a Burger King on the other, the onion rings were calling my name
BK has a new Whopper ever few month's, and on this visit, they were promoting a new one called the Angry Whopper, and it looked like a good match for my rings and sweet tea

I have always been a fan of BK sandwiches, and always have a hard time deciding between a fish, chicken, or burger, but I have to say, I made the right choice today. This burger actually had some heat to it, and the fried onions were great
I do not write this as an ad for the restaurant, but as a plea to keep those fried onions. They may be a match for the onion rings they serve now. Maybe they could offer them as a side ?
Oh well, just wishful thinking
