“another great conflict in the yuppie landscape.” Lovely phrase and one of my favorite themes here in Decatur.

I understand, and even agree with, everything you just said except “no ketchup”.

I occasionally eat at the Decatur McDonalds. I enjoyed the McRib sandwich when it was available in the past but would probably not order it again. I tend to stick with the double cheeseburger (no ketchup) and fries meal for lunch and the Southern chicken biscuit with hot sauce and hash browns for breakfast. When MickeyDs gets these meals right, it’s mighty good eatin’ for a good old by like me. And the service is improving even though you still have a cranky employee now and then.
If you don’t like McDonalds, there are plenty of other choices in Decatur. Bon Appétit Y’all!

I’m not debating the health benefits (or lack thereof) of meat by-products. Just the deliciousness/desirability of them. I love almost everything you can find on a pig. Just don’t really like the way McDonald’s takes the meat from a hundred animals and mixes with additives to make it palatable. THEN… uses obvious marketing ploys like “now you see it, now you don’t” to create a a mystique around it. Bleh. Watch “Food, Inc.” if you want to get a big turn-off to their food.

Actually, “easy to get” worked for me

WinnonaMom, don’t tell me you’re the first woman in history to not have leveraged the psychology of playing hard to get!
