"McDonald's Left Us Slim And Healthy"

Mary and Lee Humphrey have eaten a meal at their local fast-food outlet McDonald's in the southern English town of Eastbourne every weekday for nearly 17 years, Britain's the Guardian reported on Wednesday.

The couple first "fell in love" with the restaurant after their arrival to Britain from Canada in 1990.

Sharing nearly the exact same order for all that time, the Humphreys point to the friendliness of the service and the youthful atmosphere and conversation as the draws that keep them coming back for more at the venue they have come to refer to as their "office".

Pooh-poohing anti-McDonald's health warnings and even Britain's BSE ("mad cow") scare, the couple - now in their 80s - say their diet has left them slim and healthy.

"They're always going to criticise McDonald's and I don't understand why - it is one of the cleanest places you'll ever go to," the Guardian quoted Mary Humphrey as saying.

I guess sometimes ignorance is bliss. If they knew how "clean" it really was, I don't think they'd come back.

Look at it this way. There are millions of McDonald's in the world, so by the law of statistics there is bound to be one clean one with "friendly service" and a "youthful atmosphere."

btw, what is a youthful atmosphere to an 80 year old? 65?

^ more importantly, there is statistically bound to be some people who remain slim eating that crap everyday. But anyone who knows British culture knows that they, especially the older generation, have the WORST taste when it comes to food, so this is pretty much the worst endorsement you can get.

The quality of McDonalds seems to be so random. I was down in Texas and they had freaking delicious burgers. Up in my home town of Victoria, BC its usually not nearly as fresh and just lower in quality in general.

ha ha i worked in mcdonalds (in britain) for almost three months until i got fired due to fact that i found working there was a lot easier after more than a few alcoholic beverages. The shit that accumulates on those grills is unbelievable, i certainly wouldn't have called it clean, i haven't been able to bring myself to eat thier nasty food since.
