    I wish he threw the chicken at the plaintiff when he announced his decision.

    Or, if the change ruins the taste, stop eating it altogether.

    Win-win.

    [Man, I hope it doesn't suck after the change, altough at least there'll still be the biscuits.]

    The fascist nanny-state fucks in NYC have banned trans fats in restaurants, when they should have let the market take care of it, like with KFC.

    What no one knows is that McDs also uses non-trans fat oil as well. They switched over to canola oil several months ago. :)

    I wish they used animal fat in their fries still. Now they just suck.

    If you're worried about fat at all, why eat fast food? Can't find a grocery store where you live?

    Not likely. I'm sure in the next year or two there will be another "dangerous" buzz ingredient that we will all be avoiding.

    I can tell the difference.

    I rarely went there, but earlier this year I decided to stop in and get a big mac meal. Not only did it taste good for a change, it didn't make me have to take a shit within the next 30 minutes (unlike previous visits). There's one really close to my place, so since then I've picked up food from there once every now and then when I can't think of what I want.
