How about you?

I ate some this past June on a road trip but other than that, it's been years. It just doesn't appeal to me anymore and on the rare occasion I do eat it, I almost always end up sick.

5. Every now and then I eat Wendy's and Alley Gators' food |
|
But I also take out from slower places like Limerick Diner, Tortugas, Texas Roadhouse, and Applebee's.

12. Wendy's chili with cheese |
|
Sometimes I get that. I put corn chips in it instead of crackers.
Once I saw a girl order a loaded baked potato with a side of fries. That, I felt, was going too far.
I am also addicted to McDonalds coke. Yum.

but never more than twice a week. I like Culvers, Hardees, Papa John's, etc.
It's probably good that fast food places are offering more salads and fruit now, but I would rather just get that stuff from a grocery store for much less.
Your neighborhood grocery store can often be very convenient for lunch: salads, chicken, sandwiches, etc. and will ususally cost less than any fast food restaurant.

If I do a burger now, I grill it myself. And FRIES are OFF THE MENU.
SUCKS to be 53.

14. If I HAVE to eat fast food, I usually get a salad. |
|
Wendy's has a good Caesar side salad, and other fast food chains have decent salads too. I don't eat burgers like I used to, so sometimes I get a grilled chicken sandwich.
I eat fast food maybe ten to fifteen times a year.

15. Sometimes, though I try to avoid it. |
|
I have not eaten at McDonalds in... maybe six months. It's been about three years since I've eaten at Burger King. I got food poisoning the last time I did. :puke:
I'll eat at Wendy's and Taco Bell. I just had Wendy's for lunch yesterday, as a matter of fact.

we used to- A LOT, but I broke myself AND my kids of the fast food habit. I had them sit down and watch SUPERSIZE ME and to seal the deal, whenever we drive into Cedar Rapids we drive past ADM (a company that makes corn sweeteners) and it REALLY REEKS. It's absolutely putrid. We informed the kids that company makes additives that goes into their McDonalds, and Burger King, and Hardees (etc...) and that is what they are smelling. Now they refuse to eat food that has "that stink" in it. If we are on the run and I haven't planned well, we swing by the grocery store or the food coop and buy some fruit and sandwich fixin's, yogurt or something from the deli, and drink bottled water instead of soft drinks. Much cheaper and healthier, and it makes me feel like I'm doing at least one thing right as a parent.

17. I think it's been at least 2 years since I last ate fast food |
|
and I think that was Johnny Rockets - which arguably is a step above McD's et al...at least I think so. :)
I was never a big fan but when I was a teenager working at BK I would frequently eat it. In fact I remember I would eat double-whoopers with cheese and fully loaded with other stuff for dinner once or twice a week. As I got older I ate it less and less. When my son was a toddler we'd end up at a place maybe once a month but since then I've gone less and less until finally it's pretty much a non-existent part of my diet.
I can't even fathom how I ever ate those double-whoppers! :)
(Ever few months I do get a craving for a cheese burger, fries and shake at Johnny Rockets but usually I just don't get the chance so it's probably become a once a year thing)
BTW: It's a similar story with Coke and other sodas, I just don't drink the major brands at all any more. Everyone once in a while I'll drink a specialty root beer or cream soda.

I have Arby's about once a month or so (those fresh deli sandwiches, yum) and maybe LJS once or twice every 2 months or so. otherwise I get subs a lot when i'm really busy and beat from work (every few months i just work so much and I'll get subs several times in a two week period) and then none for quite some time....

20. Once in the past seven years. |
|
I was in the middle of an exhibit opening, and Call Me Wesley's American cousin-by-marriage brought me a Big Mac and a McDonald's salad from a McD's in Zurich. I was homesick, Molly knew it, and it was the best fast food I'd _ever_ eaten. But I was sick for two days afterward.

22. Rarely (except take-out pizza). When I do it's a local chain: Burgerville |
|
They use fresh and seasonal ingredients and they give out educational toys in kids meals. They have things like fresh blackberry milkshakes, Vidalia onion rings, salads with smoked salmon. I always get the veggie burger with Tillamook cheese. :9

24. Me and the family go about .75 times a week. |
|
Never a full meal for us either. It's usually a snack type deal. Example would be me just getting a ice cream cone and apple pie, or my ladies getting a single sandwich, or just fries maybe. We used to eat much more fast food, but thanks to Mr Spurlock's wonderful documentary we as a family made a choice to eat much less.
Hahahahahaha! I'm so stupid today i screwed some simple spellings so bad spell check could not find the correct spelling, or even come close to recognizing what it should have been.

I eat chicken soft tacos at Taco Bell at least once a month. I allow myself a Whopper and fries once a month (or else I crave it).
I had Quiznos for lunch.
