I'm never eating at McDonald's again, am I?
McDonald's has a nutrition calculator that tells you cals, etc. for each ingredient in the sandwich. For example, the bun is 170 calories of the 520 calories in a Quarter Pounder w. Cheese.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Goddamn, I love me a carnitas burrito. I know they are north of 1000 calories but, damn, I don't care. SO GOOD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, but I'm not looking at that calculator while I'm ordering -- just the grand total.

If it's any consolation (?), I think they only went up to 918 or something (each item had a range).

Man, now I am craving McDonald's. My mind is super suggestible.

I just ate a giant burrito, and man, those calories were WORTH IT.

Me too!
And a cookie.

So, remember the article about the 400 calorie cookies at Starbucks?
If that's what they currently are, they've gone down by half since I worked there, just FYI. McDonald's is a bargain on that scale.
(From our nutritionals then, which can't be that different really, the only things under 500 calories were bran muffins, plain croissants, and baguettes. They have a few smaller things now that might be okay, but the other muffins, scones, and especially the cookies are waaay beyond what you would anticipate.)

And now I see that Chipotle was called out in last week's Times article.
