Ouch! That hurts on too many levels, but mostly because I was laughing so hard! Where's my Tylenol?
 
So ummm... Who do I blame for Temptation? God, Satan, myself, or all of the above?



Or can I just sue Ray Crock?


Oh wait, he's dead isn't he, heart attack probably....



The more I think about it, the more I REALLY wanna try opening some kind of heart healthy restaurant type establishment. There's enough recipes out there for all kinds of things. Prices might be a little higher, but not outragously so and it would be worth it. Pay an extra 50 cents for a burger that won't add 3 inches to your waistline?

Harp, I dunno what Ray Kroc died of, but the most recent McDonald's CEO, Jim Cantalupo, did die of a heart attack, just the other day. He was just 60. I kind of doubt he ate a lot of his meals at McDonald's, though, so I don't think we can blame his heart attack on too many Big Macs.

Interestingly, in the 16 months he ran McD, Cantalupo was credited with introducing a line of "healthier" foods to the chain, including an anti-obesity campaign with "Adult Happy Meals" -- with salad, bottled water and a pedometer -- as well as healthier options for children's Happy Meals.
 
Just for information only:
Ray Kroc's demise was from Glioblastoma ..a form of brain cancer.

Hey - you too!!! I've wondered for years why there isn't a drive-thu health food chain, or "healthy style" restaurants... and if I should look into starting one. It's amazing how hard it is to eat healthy food when you go out (..unless you stick to a side salad "dressing on the side"..). Everything always seems to be smothered in butter, or creamy sauces, or oil.... sometimes I swear there's at least half a cup of oil in the bottom of some of those pasta dishes!!! Even trying to find somewhere with vegetarian options is near on impossible sometimes.

No wonder I love my own cooking so much!! :)

Cheers
Anna : )
