And you can probably get a kid's meal without too much hassle -- and I
believe those have the option of substituting apple slices for fries. :)
(And they WILL sell you the quarter pounder without the cheese if you
ask. Having developed an aversion to cheeseburgers shortly after the
joyful end of the pregnancy during which I was craving them, this is a
Good Thing.)

Yeah. But before you go off on how Evil McDoonald's is, let me point
out they're one of the few places I can get decent portions. In higher
class places if you want a hamburger you get a 6 to 8 ouncer for
corresponding prices. I'm not into eating that much. I go for the fast
food where 1/4 is still considered a good size.

Jebus, I guess I'm blogwhoring tonight in addition to catching up on
very old letters.
My own take on it was a little different; I questioned the idea of
owning Humvees, going to McDonald's, and why it seems we're so
willing to overconsume when we need or want for nothing. It's like
we're all terrified of running out of everything.
Ever go to a buffet and just cram yourself full of food when you're
already packed to the esophagus, a la Mr. Creosote from Python's
_Meaning of Life_? Ever wonder why the hell you do that? I don't know
why either, but I have thought about it.

The article includes a link to a PDF you can get and print out that
is very, very insulting to McDonald's.
Heh heh.
