Do you eat at McDonald's? Bet you will think twice about it after reading this article by Karen Hanrahan. I've never been particularly fond of them for various reasons...but this one takes the cake.
My friend Kristina is the one that first told me about this, but then I read the article myself...go check it out here!

Debt Reduction
When we began getting serious about debt reduction in Sept. 07 (which is when we started Dave Ramsey's FPU) we had approximately $36,000 in debt (Vehicles & credit cards). This is our journey of being free from the chains of lenders!
As of January 1, 2009, our TOTAL consumer debt is $19248.10. One of our goals for 2009 is to pay off $17500. Lets see if we can make it!
Total Thrown at Debt since 1/1/09: $9455.22 or 54% of our goal.

Okay, so that's pretty gross, and while I've always known that McDonalds has no nutritional value whatsoever, I still LOVE MY BIG MAC!!!! ;)
My husband LOVES McD's double cheeseburgers...and if I am forced to eat there I, too, will eat a Big Mac! :) They are good, but I just don't know that I can do it now! I wonder if you make 'em at home if they would taste very well...
Hmmm..
I think Chris knows how to make the special sauce on the big macs. you could ask him.
I wouldn't get too worried. Just don't eat at McDonald's every day.
Here is a link to an article from a nutritional blogger's response to someone's questions about this article.

Jessica,
Thank you for the article. I knew that some of the things Karen mentioned in her article were probably not fully true (ex. complete lack of nutrition). I guess the part that really bothered me was that the burger looked exactly the same. I just found that odd. I'm kind of "freakish" when it comes to food, anyway...which is why I mentioned that I would probably have a hard time eating another one again.
