I'm not sure what that site is suggesting, eat the same 'bad-for-you-foods but feel better about it" or, no matter how you dress the devil, he's still kill you! laughhard.gif Why no lists of salt, cholesterol, other fats and chemicals, not to mention the costs of the meal compared to made-from-scratch? dntknw.gif Just proves there's more than one way to fool our minds! And most advertisers/restaurants will use all they can find! yum.gif

Actually, most of those dishes would be great if they included an endless bowl of warm, butter slathered yeast roles...wallbash.gif

OH...MY...GAWD!   wacko.gif

Why did I look at that right before dinner???   getsick.gif

Okay... I thought that it was going to be Something Good. What is the deal recently with the misleading subject titles??? Are the OP's getting reimbursed by the click or something? Is there some new shopper affiliate program that I haven't heard about???

Moving Right Along...

I do know of a good fast food joint... At least it was good and a fast food joint the last time I visited Sanity Cruise, which was eons ago. It may have evolved a little as we native central California natives like to say...

Back in the day it was called McDharma's. It was a little hole in the wall that served vegie burgers on a toasted whole wheat sesame seed bun called The Big Monk. Get it?  Big Monk/Big Mac? Oh, Never Mind... As I remember it was actually a darn good vegie burger; really good vegie burgers are hard to come by...

Anyway, McDonald's thought that your average American who gave up independent thinking around 10th grade might get confused and think that McDharma's is a McDonald's, thereby causing said customers irreparable damage that McDonald's does not need any help inflicting on their customers, ThankYouVeryMuch!

So McDonald's sued McDharma's. One of McDonald's lawyers spends more on his suits in a year than McDharma's grosses, so a red circle with a line through the "Mc" transformed (another word a lot of Californians like to throw around a LOT...) into Dharma's.

The next time I am in Sanity Cruise you can bet that I will be visiting McDharma's (it will always be McDharma's to me) to see if it lives up to the memories. And I must check out the little corner grocery store around 32nd Avenue (more or less...) to see if they still sell fresh, hot deep-fried egg rolls next to the cash register. When I lived on 36th Avenue I think that the egg rolls went for 35 cents... it was the Surfers' Lunch/Dinner of Champions. The proprietor would yell "MORE EGG ROLL!" to his wife who womaned the deep fryer back in the rear of the store behind an empty refrigerated butcher's meat counter.

I can still smell those egg rolls... tongue.gif

Just wondering what this is...an old European Delicacy, or perhaps something kinky? biggrin.gif

If you ever eat any of these rolls, you just might give up some 'kinky' behaviors! laughhard.gif Obviously, I get a little crazy just thinking about those rolls!! Can't even type straight! But I agree with you, I don't like using a phone, either. OTOH, if you want (usually correctly) edited text, you may want to spend you time at another sight, inside a book? tease.gif
