AlanHo Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 McDonald's has won approval to offer courses which could form part of an A-level standard qualification. Full details hereThis is surely an important stepping stone to getting into University. McDonalds will surely build on this by sponsoring places at Oxford and Cambridge where aspiring students will be able to cook up a degree in McBurgery or McNuggets. Kentucky Fried are expected to follow suit and it won't be long before KFC become respected letters after your name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Personally I think it is an excellent idea. Quite obviously the need for the public to fund political parties will now just disappear. The only downside might be the number of broken legs in the Palace of Westminster caused by skidding on the grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 LOL, I wonder what mcdonalds get out of it more money for handing out unhealthy foods.They are going in the wrong direction, they should be closing down mcdonalds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think McDonalds are unfaily maligned. They do more than most to keep obesity in check and encourage weight loss.I once had a quarter pound cheeseburger with fries (Cuz she asked - "do you want fries with that") and it caused me to completely lose my appetite for several days.The next time I went in I asked for just a bag of chips - she still asked "do you want fries with that".

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 They have been doing a "Ba of Hamburgerology" for donkeys years, but who with any brains would want it??? Just more corporate monsters trying to take over our lives with brain washing from a young age! ---> Would you like to supersize that for an extra 30p? (in English, that's 10 more chips and some extra water in your drink) <yawn> ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 No wonder so many kids are obese from an early age. Parents should have more respect for their kids bodies, than to allow them to eat that rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 My late uncle owned 2 McDonalds franchises. He had to go to Hamburger University before being able to open those stores. His 2 sons, who now own and manage those stores, had to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 As for obesity ...Its not Mc d's faultRight on! Whatever happened to personal responsibility.BTW: I cannot remember the last time we ate at a McDonald's. although they have started offering some healthy meals.Have you ever watched Super Size Me If you have 100 minutes to spare.A sad commentary on the US.

andsome Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 We have seen many of the most obese people ever in California. We saw one couple who must have weighed at least 28 stone each, or for DW 393 pounds. They were waddling along, each clutching the largest containers of coke that we have ever seen, together with the largest container of chips. They could not have been more than 22 years old. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I remember doing a formal presentation to Johnson & Johnson in New Jersey some years ago.We had to wait for one of the scientists to finish his breakfast before we could start. I couldn't believe what happened next. Double doors opened and the fattest person I had ever seen was wheeled in. His wheelchair was double width - like a sofa and his fat seemed to be flowing over the sides like hot lava.He was an extremely unpleasant, aggressive person - not like the Americans I am used to (apart from immigration!) I don't think he had any real authority in the company but he sat there like some sort of potentate barking orders whilst scoffing a large plate of do'nuts and guzzling a giant container of Coca Cola - presumably full fat, which he had constantly replenished.I had nightmares about him for a long time afterwards and vowed NEVER to overeat.I've learned since that these double wheelchairs are standard production now - at that time they were made to order.
