Simply Red's classic Hardees thread got me to thinking - where is everybody's least favorite fast food joint? Poll will be coming soon!

Wrong again.

I don't think I've seen a BWillie post that's been right in years.

Reducing intake of "processed" foods is good for you, but that's mainly because the market for "all-natural" foods doesn't generally include cinnamon rolls and french fries so you're largely eliminating those sorts of foods from your diet.

I'm all for having a healthy & balanced diet, but "organic" food is mostly just a marketing gimmick for upper middle-class people who want to feel healthy.

I'm not talking about organic foods, per se. Try to stay with me. I know how much a healthy diet is good for you. I have an autoimmune disease that improves if I eat a healthy diet, natural diet as our bodies evolved to eat. It isn't just about cinnamon rolls and french fries.

Go to a ****ing doctor sometime and ask them what to eat. You have no idea what a healthy diet is if you think it is some kind of hipster conspiracy to force you to eat food you don't like.

Speaking of organic and local sourced, can I alter my vote for the worst to 'Vegan restaurants with mandatory sides of baby butthole?'

Go out and eat a Wendy's Queso Bacon Sandwich right now. Do it.

I went "all in" and got the queso fries, too. Damn it was good.

I'd rather not slow myself down.

I was raised by two doctors (M.D.'s) and am myself a corporate square with a scientific background; not a hipster in the least.

Understanding marketing & chemistry/biology is NOT "believing in a conspiracy".

EDIT: I noticed, by the way, that you ignored my questions. If you "know" how much a healthy diet is good for you, why can't you substantiate that claim with anything other than your own experience?

Depending on how drunk Lewdog gets this afternoon, it could be a Taco Bell Chalupa kind of night. I haven't had Taco Hell in years.

I'm still debating if the diarrhea will be worth it? Then again I might have beer shits anyway, so it's a lose-lose either way.

I ate at Taco Bell for the first time in about a decade after the free stolen base World Series promotion, and was pleasantly surprised. I think Taco Bell stopped trying to sell "Mexican" food and has committed to creating absurd, unhealthy, delicious greasepiles. As long as you go into it with that expectation you'll probably be happy with what you get.

Report back on that chalupa. I've never had one but am enticed by the looks of them.

I used to eat them all the time in college. Baja version which had some sort of similar taste to "pico de gallo." It's the crunchy shell that gets it done. It will be interested to see if they taste similar to the ones I had so long ago........

****! See, I already forgot about this.

It's not on the drive home though, so it depends if the wife will drive the opposite direction and take me, after driving back from all the way across town.

8 ball reads "not likely."

Do you live by SOL? I thought it was pretty damn good, especially the steak and shrimp tacos.
