We eat an order of large fries from McDonald's once a month. We call it "Fry Day". Those fries are good as hell. I add extra salt because I don't even pretend they are healthy. We are allowed one Coke a week each, so we buy that in the can so it tastes right. I think anything is okay in moderation.
About once a year I get a Big Mac or Filet O Fish, usually if I am traveling somewhere. Plus McDonald's has a decent breakfast menu. Pancakes just aren't healthy anywhere you get them, and we can eat in 15 minutes on the way to whatever we are going to visit. And they have the best coffee.
I give people shit for eating at McDonald's, but I'm not poor. If you only have $5 to feed your kids dinner, the dollar menu is a lot cheaper than making burgers at home. Last time I made burgers I spent about 30 bucks buying nice rolls and meat and cheeses and bacon and lettuce and tomatoes. Ever run to the store to pick up things for just one meal? Is it ever under $25? Probably not. I try not to judge people IRL that don't have it as easy as I do.
I eat the shit out of some salt, though. Love it. I have made an effort to eat less salt, but I don't eat sweet stuff very often so I'm sure I still eat too many salty foods. I figure as long as you drink your six glasses of water a day, you can flush most things out of your system. haha
