cartman | 195 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Well McDonalds ranges from all-out vegetables to all-out fried meat. But i assume you mean something in between, like any of the burgers. I'd say cigarettes are worse regardless. By comparing ingredient vs. cigarette or all of the vs. a pack. Altough I'm not a doctor or nutritionist but yeah, i'd be pretty confident that that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,014 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 In the US, the leading cause of death is heart disease. While nicotine can cause heart issues, most of the deaths from heart disease are from plaque build up aka eating fatty foods. The next leading cause of death is cancer and lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of all cancers. But with all the preservatives in McDonald's food as a whole it's not unreasonable to think it has more of a contribution to cancer than other options, like just making your own burger and fries. However I think it's an obesity vs not. If you're fit and eat McDonald's once in awhile you'll be completely fine and if you're fit and smoke a cigarette here and there you'll also be completely fine. Obesity raise the probability of dying, period. The CDC cites that obesity contributes to mental disorders like depression and anxiety. Obesity is a contributing factor to a stunning amount of other illnesses and conditions; it's insane. As someone who consistently toes the line of the upper weight limit for my height exercises the absolute bare minimum per week, giving up nicotine was an absolute breeze compared to maintaining a healthy weight. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I did think it was rather ridiculous though the huge fuss they made over Joe Camel...seriously, you smokers out there...how many of you actually took it up primarily because you saw some cartoon camel on a billboard smoking?

AirVillain | 490 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Good discussion. Easy and obvious answer though. It's been about 6 years since I've eaten McDonald's, and I hope to never have to eat it again in my life, but that doesn't mean I can't admit it tastes good. If you can't admit a Big Mac or McChicken tastes good then you are just lying to yourself. I don't even eat meat and I know it would be tasty. Don't get me wrong, McD's is some fucked up shit.... but in the context of vs. cigarettes, McD's is a solid option Cigarettes taste like shit, McD's tastes good. If I was forced to choose between the two I would gladly choose McD's. Plus, there's this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 3,861 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I don’t smoke. This is making me want to go buy a pack. What percentage overlap do you guys think there are between those possessed with anti smoking fervor and also being suckered into the marketing scams that are organic, non-gmo, gluten free, Jesus, vegan, etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel bad for all those people who for honest to goodness medical reasons have to be on a gluten free diet...because I imagine when they go to a restaurant and mention those magic words "non-gluten", there's a good possibility the waiter/waitresses will (at least inwardly in their thoughts or be tempted to) roll their eyes and be like "oh great here we go with the sill fad dieter who probably doesn't even know what gluten is..." And for that matter how many people even know what a GMO even is and which GMO foods (and why) are good or bad or ugly or...? As for you wanting to go buy a pack...don't. Buy yourself the video game that's currently at the top of your wishlist. Trust me folks, breathing is super awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
