Wow, 18 years old. Born as a result of puppy milling, then put into a shelter after the mill was shut down. I would not expect a dog born in those circumstances to be as healthy as to live for that long. The owner obviously took very good care of them and I'm sure they lived a very happy life.

Depending on how you define the time frame and and a celebrity I would say they come in the dozens if not hundreds.

That's the last time I eat McDs

Also the alcohol:

he had "consistently been drinking since the age of 13.

[–] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.

I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.

I’ve known people who were vegetarian/vegan for a while and then ate meat and got sick from it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] mecfs@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

who hasen’t. wait a sec

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I guess while I'm on my righteous health craze, I'll skip the booze.

All that just to have your legacy be sensationalism. Sometimes I'm glad I'm an introvert.

It's really not a hard thing to cut out... Especially with how much I've heard they cost these days, for the exact same shitty product.

I used to go once in a while to get their shitty cheap breakfast burritos (thinking about it makes my mouth water), 2 for 2 Dollars.

Last time I went I was out almost 5 dollars for the exact same shitty tiny breakfast burritos.

I can get a giant hand made breakfast burrito for less than twice that. Or a carton of beaten eggs, Mexican cheese tortillas and sausage for the same price

Worked at McDonald's. Many many eons ago. Used to open on the weekends for them. That meant I had to change the grease out of the fryer vets. The management there only gave us a quarter per hour for break, so during my dumping of the oil I would swipe a few of those burritos and jam on them in the back. Very fond memories of those.

I haven't eaten that garbage in over two decades - is it really that hard to believe someone could stop eating McD's?
