My son got really sick after eating at KFC once. After that, he was afraid to eat it again for a long time. When he finally did, he loved it and felt great. Now it's one of his favorite fast food places.

*I would call the McDonalds and COMPLAIN! Let them know what your daughter ate..could be a coincidental bug, or random incident, but it's best to let them know! Last time my friend complained she got a WHOLE lot of free food!!

Happy Eating!

Low-fat fare is available at Mickey D's if you choose carefully. I usually get the Chicken McGrill sandwich and a salad. OK, and maybe a small fries. I miss the old McLean hamburger. I sometimes think McDonalds sold them just to "prove" that people don't really want healthier fast food. Why else would they all but ignore them in their advertising and promotions, and not include them on any of their numbered combo meals, then complain that they didn't sell enough of them?

Don't worry about the fat and high calorie content of McDonalds food, children have a much higher calorie need than adults, and what will make an adult fat will be fine and healthy for a growing child or teenager.

so there

and my grandson vomited after eating a chicken grill sandwich at Mcdonalds
everything is fried there its not good for the kids

The night I got sick (I got really sick, and it didn't help that we were going to be traveling, the only thing that helped was Pepto) I stopped with my son and got him a cheeseburger and I think fries for myself. He refused to eat it, and so I did. Good thing he didn't!

But, we've also been sick after eating at nice, expensive restaurants, too. I say it's just freak occasions, you never know.

I would need more than both hands to count the problems with the one that is closer to me.

I know a couple that were both in the ER for food poisoning a few hours after eating there. My nephew also got really sick after a Happy Meal he ate there.

Besides the food, their service is bad. I can't figure out why they take your order, when you never get what you asked for. They recently removed their play area. It was so nasty that when you drove by, you could smell it.

Most of them are independantly owned, so quality varies between sites.

It's not just McDonald's though. I once worked in a popular (family owned) Italian restaurant close by. On weekends, there was a line out the door. If only those people knew what went on in the kitchen!! People were served pasta that was prepared weeks ahead (not frozen), food would drop on the floor and go right back into the pan, fish was tested for doneness by the prep cook inserting his finger in each piece (licking in between) and using bread crumbs to cover the mark he left, silverware would come out of the dishwasher with food still on it- it was wiped on an apron and put out for use........I could go on forever.

Did you read Leslie's link in entirety? Snopes did not say the chicken head part was a hoax (just the KFC rats). What they did say is that the chicken head claim is real, as are the photos, but that it is still under investigation and litigation is pending. I guess I should say - the story is not a hoax. What may be a possibility is that the chicken head may have been planted or that the incident was staged to trigger a lawsuit. But it's definitely not a hoax.

And I trust Snopes and the urban legend sites to be objective.

I have seen them debunk things as often as I have seen them publish things as true and verifiable.

They also publish references to actual sources, before they claim hoax or true.

If you go surf to the article, you'll see that they actually substantiated that the chicken head story was TRUE (albeit still being investigated and litigated).

That's why I was asking if you read it.

Anyways, it was probably some freak thing. And if she decides never to eat McDonald's just because she got sick that one time, then she's probably better off!

The Hilde thing comes from many posts at many forums that seem to not match the forum. There have been posts at many different sites from her about noisy people and woman being the nosiest and stomping in their shoes. She just seems to lash out in forums for no reason and sometimes about things that have nothing to do with the discussion.

I'm confused. I was chatting with Alice about her post, don't think I chatted anything about you. And I don't think I said anything about you being mad (???)

I'm lost. Did I completely miss something? Ahh, what fast food does to our brain cells ~LOL~ among other things.

Have a great day!

I did hear, and this is nasty...when I went back to my DH's family's for Christmas, this was a few years ago before we were married, someone had been in the news for getting off in the tacos. I believe, it's been a while, it was in the sour cream. How disgusting, and it's not a big town, so people had to know who he was. Oh, and I think it was at the Taco Johns.

Obviously, I don't remember the details well, but then again why would I want to? We just avoid the taco places in his home town. I'd be interested in what The Legend site has to say about this. I do believe that it happend, but wish that people wouldn't do such digusting, nasty, and intentional things.

In our town it was supposedly in the fettuccine alfredo at the local Italian restaurant...

Also, if you read further down the Taco Bell page, the story about the envelope/roach eggs isn't too far off. My roommate works at the Envelope Manufacturers Association. She has toured the factories where the glue is made for envelopes. She said the tanks are extremely dirty, who knows what could be in there! After that she said she'd never lick an envelope again.
