I think green hell will at least have some pretty groovy people in it ! There is a certain herb “senna”, a natural laxative that I take when the road trip has us occasionally swing through a drive through, it at least gets that stuff out of my system fast !!

I may have a thing for McD's french fries, but it's the Cokes that leave me cold. No desire for them at all. I do like carbonated water and have a Soda maker for that purpose. Otherwise, sodas are no temptation at all. Beth Terry, aka Fake Plastic Fish’s last blog post..Please Give Just $1 For The Charities That You Help To Choose

Am I the only one that doesn't like McDonald's french fries? All this mooning over them is making me queasy. But, then again, I haven't eaten fast food in twenty years (being a long time vegetarian does that to you - no choices). I eat local, organic, pastured meats now, though. And the occasional Diet Coke. There. I said it. Crunchy Chicken’s last blog post..The Green Teen - book review

I eat meat as well! Our beef is grass-fed and the company that makes it has a sustainability policy which I have of course read and they treat the animals humanely. Our pork is all nitrate free and I know most of it is humane and more sustainable like our beef but not sure about some of the really rare stuff we get. Our chicken is free range and all that stuff. I still feel guilty both because of the green part and because I don't always know how the animals are being treated. I don't drink soda other than natural stuff I make at home and the rare can of natural soda. I know they most likely still have BPA but they are rare so that's good right? lol And Super Size Me made skipping fast food easier. Though I still love Sonic, In-N-Out (which is four states away so that's easy to skip), and Del Taco. Next time I go to Cali will be a disaster but while I'm in Oklahoma I just have to skip the Sonic. I have been craving a McGriddle though. Lisa’s last blog post..Conserving Water

And soggy! They are best when they've been steaming in the paper bag for a while until they are limp, soggy, mush. I'm actually not kidding. Beth Terry, aka Fake Plastic Fish’s last blog post..Confession of a Fast Food Addict who ate at Amanda's and forgot to BYO.

I like McDonald's French Fries too. Even worse I like them cold, which double grosses my husband out. Thank goodness we don't do fast food often. Condo Blues’s last blog post..What Can You Do with Mint?

McDonald’s fries are awesome. Let’s just say it. We know how they’re made. We know why we shouldn’t like them. We know we should be totally grossed out. But we also know that they rock and leave all other fast food fries in the dust.

Although, honestly, I think they were better back when they were made with shortening. Mmmmm… trans fats!

My first job was at McDonald’s when I was 17. We would scoop big chunks of that white glop out of a metal container and plop it into the french fryer. It was always funny when a customer on a low sodium diet came in and ordered fries with no salt because the bottom of the fry bin was so caked with salt already that the fries were covered with salt before we added any more.

Okay, I’m starting to feel nostalgic about my brown polyester uniform. Need to sign off now.
