Quote from danandrews27 : How does $1.12 make much sense in relation to the date of 12/12/12 Wouldn't $12.12 or 12 cents be more logical

$12.12 is way too expensive and $0.12 would be too much of a loss leader. At $1.12, they break even and will make some money when you buy fries and soda (which have a higher margin than the burgers anyway).

Roadkill is better then this dollar crap, not to mention fresher.

12/12/12: 12 big macs for $12 and enjoy the remaining 12 seconds of your life?

Quote from sklar : Oddly enough, a big mac isnt the best but its hardly the worst. The french fries and huge soft drink that go with it are the problem. Over the last year I've routinely eaten fast food burgers (although I prefer In and Out), and lots of red meat, eggs, whole milk, etc. My diet consists of over 50% fat, most of it saturated animal fat. I lost 82 pounds, and my blood work is pristine. Aint the meat and fat, its the sugar and processed starches. I'm living proof! Now, the thousand island dressing made with GMO'd industrial seed oil and corn syrup and the white flour bun on the big mac do in fact suck, but the meat and cheese (the usual suspects) aren't bad at all. Eat them. Heck, a big mac and a glass of water or a diet coke is only ~500 calories.

If you're a male, watch out on the red meat. Men don't need more iron they already have. Having more increases chances of heart disease.

Not saying that males shouldnt eat red meat, but just to limit their intake.

If you're worried about that, then get your iron level tested. My doctor discovered, despite my red meat rich diet, I had iron deficiency anemia. Despite taking a fairly high dose and eating a good amount of red meat, and dark green leafy vegetables, I'm now just barely within range of normal iron levels.

Watch this~!

McDonalds fight aint worth the 1.12 Big Mac! lol

You're right. I believe what I said applies for most males though. My levels are normal. But I don't eat much red meat (because I prefer chicken, fish, and tofu) and my vitamins do not have any iron in them.

How much are Big Macs normally nowadays, anyway? They're just two junior burger patties with three slices of bread and a bunch of lettuce, aren't they? Kindda like the "W" Burger at Wendy's but without the full complement of vegetables?

The Jack in the Box nearest me currently has a $4 combo advertised in their window featuring essentially the same hamburger, small fries and a drink... I went in and tried it. It was edible, but definitely left me with a sense that I was being sold on high-markup items rather than on something I'd actually want to eat.

It does absolutely no such thing. I think if you learn to read the "nutritional studies" you'll find that about 99% of everything that you think is true...isn't. Casual correlation in an observational study paid for by the folks that'd like you to eat your GMO corn, soy and oils and shut the heck up is not causation.

Many peoples like the Innuit and the massai eat enormous amounts of red meat and iron and have the lowest heart disease rates in the world. Take them to the US or England and feed them our diet? They get fat and develop heart disease

Bottom line: eat foods that satiate you, and keep the calorie count low to suit your exercise level. I walk/run about 8 miles a day and keep it to 1600-2000 calories. The 2000-3000 calorie diet for couch potatoes is what causes heart disease.
