Tagged "McDonald’s"

A couple of weeks ago, reader Jodi Stone contacted me and asked if I would share her story of how she feeds her family. I’d been waiting for the right time to share her story, and today’s the day.

Here’s a burger-to-burger comparison of a few popular fast food chains.

Considering that McDonald’s is a force to be reckoned with (good or bad), and that they’ve branched out into the popular smoothie market, it’s worth taking a look and seeing how they compare to other popular places.

Recently I posted about a McDonald’s billboard that promotes the “Big Breakfast with Hotcakes.” Scott’s guess was right on the mark for calories and fat, but he left off the syrup and butter… which are not insignificant.

This ten-foot-tall plate of food contains three pancakes (with syrup and butter), a biscuit, scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, and hash browns. Can you guess how many calories that is?

This would be funny if people weren’t actually eating this. (Okay, it’s still pretty funny).
