What's your favorite fast food place. What do you get? Do you eat it a lot?

I love the new McDonalds salads. You put the dressing in the little shaker container, and it gets on every bite of the salad. They're the best.
I'm a vegetarian, so that limits my choices. Every now and then I'll get a vegetarian Whopper (it's a regular Whopper, without the meat). Other than that, I'm not much with the fast food.

I love KFC, though not their chicken. I like their mashed potatoes with gravy, and the biscuits. I actually did like their popcorn chicken, and I wish they'd always have that....mmmm.

I also really like Fazoli's, an Italian fast food place. Fast Italian food sounds odd, but it's fantastic. Their breadsticks are wonderful.

I eat fast food every day, seriously. I come from a family of Decent Cooks, but it's hard to cook three meals a day (or even one meal a day) that will satisfy everyone at the same time: my grandma is old and has to take food with her Old People medicine, which she takes a zillion times a day; my schedule begins with breakfast when I wake (around noon); my mom is pretty much a normal eater. so yeah, we're all on different feeding schedule (haha! like a zoo!). I'd cook for myself, but I don't know how. Fast food is extremely helpful in situations like mine.

Elizabeth: How does one get this veggie-Whopper? Whopper is an exclusively Burger King thing, right? I tried ordering one at the local Burger King but they don't have one. arg. Then again, I live in "cowboy capital of the world," so there's not at all a high demand.

Often times I will eat at McDonalds if my hunger erodes my foresight, but usually their hamburgers leave me feeling ill. Wendy's is better, the no.4 combo is awesome. Big bacon classic, awww shit.

We don't have a wendys around here..we have Culvers, Taco Bell, Burger King, McDonalds, KFC and I think that's it. I like those chocolate shake type things from Wendys. Their fries are weird.

I'm tryin not to eat fast food a lot cuz it leaves me with a grossed out feeling. I can't believe Wendys is so popular though. Hmm

Oh yeah, a frosty. I couldn't remember what it's called. We don't have one around here, remember? Sorry. :P Didn't mean to insult Wendy's.

England's not aaallll that big on fast-food places - like we don't have Wendy's or Taco Bell (though I've tried both on holidays in the US). I love the chicken burgers, like the Tower and the Zinger, at KFC. At Burger King it's the Whopper, and their fries are absolutely the best. McDonalds, usually quarter-pounder with cheese.

Despite all this, I don't really eat fast food all that often - maybe a couple of times a week. I love pizza, but I don't count that as fast food, and I don't get to eat it as often as I'd like (= everyday).

i'm a vegetarian so i almost never eat at fast food places. however, when my meat eating friends (that'd be all of them) don't have much money i end up schlepping along. if we are at mcdonalds i get fries and sweet & sour sauce, at wendy's it's the garden veggie pita with fries, and at popeye's i get the cajun fries. i LOVE fried potato products. i'm dead serious. some mcdonalds in nyc have veggie burgers but i am so tired of that damn garden burger... ugh.

however, in the event that i do not feel like spending more than 5 dollars on a meal, i schlep on over to the nearest diner or get some pizza. advantages of living in nj and hanging out in nyc.

i don't usually eat fast food, because it's all garbage. but subway is my fast food place of choice.

uh. you get a veggie whopper by saying, 'can i have a whopper, without a meat patty'. they'll do it for you. it's the same as asking for it without onions or something.

I don't eat fast food. Ever. Beginning in May, I have sworn off of fast food. I hoped it would help bring that little number on the scale back down to a decent one, but no such luck. But now that I haven't eaten that grasy, nasty food for a while, it makes me sick to see all my friends eat it - especially since they're guys! They just go down to the Jack in the Box down the street and order everything off the menu and inhale it all! I don't know how they manage to eat all that - and then the same amount a few hours later without feeling or looking like a two ton whale, but hey, whatever.

Fast food makes me sick.
