That is all well and good, but I would rather have a McDonalds again in Hongers. Burger King is as crappy as Wendy's, and at least Maccies has healthy food.

Uh gee let's see, shall we? McNuggets, the Shanghai Chicken Burger, the Chili Chicken Burgers for 1500 won, the Bacon Tomato Deluxe Burger, the little cheeseburgers, the little hamburgers, the Fish Fillet Burger, Sausage And Egg McMuffins - do you want me to post the whole menu, or are you satisfied now?

Here's a question for all you naysayers re: Maccies; ask yourself this, are you fat? I eat Maccies at least 4 times a week, and I'm as thin as a rake and in pretty good health. Don't diss Ronald and Co people; trust me when I say it is healthy and nutritious.

Unfortunately, Korea has yet to catch up with the rest of the modern world and start selling McRib Burgers and Quarter Pounders, but one can only hope that one day, such delights for the palate will be sold at Maccies over here.

McNuggets are the absolute worst thing for your body on their menu.

Given some of the things you listed are not as unhealthy as others, they are certainly not healthy by a longshot.

Just because you're thin doesn't mean Maccas is good for you. You've got a palate like a cow's backside if you think that's some tasty sh�t.

BTW, where is the Quizno's in Hongdae?

Wow, the irony - Quizno's in Korea is absolutely tasteless; you've got a palate like a mongrel's ring if you think that is a tasty sub.

Mickey Ds used to sell the McRib Jr. (mik-lib-joo-nee-aw-beo-geo) burgers for 1,000 won about 3 years ago. It seems the locals didn't like them well enough for them to continue selling them.

Quizno's in the US is tasty. I haven't tried Quizno's in Korea.

BTW, you still haven't answered for your sh�t palate.

Healthy food? If you want healthy food...I think Mc'Eatandpuke is the last place you should go.

That's like saying "I want to teach" so I work at Hakwon.

Dude, this isn't healthy in the least. I hope you're not being serious. How old are you? Early 20s I'd guess. You may be thin because of genetics or whatever, but I guarantee that if you eat fast food 4 times a week your body isn't in the best condition.

Granted ill effects of fast food are cumulative, they are real. You know when you leave fries sitting out at room temperature for a while, that white stuff that builds up on them? That's saturated fat and it's likely all over your heart and in your arteries.

Basically you're eating fat shaped like a burger or nuggets. Happy eating.
