Haters of fast food rejoice!

Oerdin · October 13, 2003, 20:24

Personally I find it sad but I'm sure some of you might be interested to know that Joan B. Kroc, the billionaire widow of McDonald's Corp. founder Ray Kroc died in her San Diego home today. After her husband died in 1984 she became a huge philanthropist and give away millions of dollars to charities and was one of the largest donators to the San Diego Children's hospital which is widely recognized as one of the finest children's hospitals in the world.

With an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, Kroc ranked No. 121 on Forbes magazine's latest list of the nation's wealthiest people. Was the largest share holder of the McDonald's Corporation and at one time owned the San Diego Padres Major League Base Ball team. Kroc also contributed more than $90 million to the Salvation Army for a 12.5-acre arts and recreation center in east San Diego.

She seemed like a nice and giving lady. It's to bad McDonald's Corp couldn't die and she could have lived.

I no longer eat fast food.

Taco Bell was the last I gave up. Last few times I have eaten there I wasn't impressed. I've always hated McDonald's. I prefer my George Forman grill for cooking burgers.

chequita guevara · October 13, 2003, 20:40

Chik Fil'A's nuggets are way better than McNuggets. Cost more and you get less too, but they are much better. Fries are better too. Course, ya gotta live in the south.

Why do you have to live in the south?

There is a Chick Fil A in every mall that I went to in Utah.

ACK!

SlowwHand · October 13, 2003, 21:17

Eat Mor Chikun.

Nubclear · October 13, 2003, 21:18

That's because Logan is an isolated hellhole........

Plus, I never went to a mall in Logan. Ogden, Salt Lake, and Layton yes, but not Logan.

ACK!

I go to College in Washington DC and we have a Chic Fil'A at our food court. The nuggest ARE darn good, and I bet they're somewhat healthier than the McDonalds. Gotta go for the 12 pack to get a decent meal though.

However, I disagree about the fren--- err, Freedom Fries. Waffle fries suck!

mrmitchell · October 13, 2003, 21:58

Why should we rejoice that a philanthropist died?

Perhaps the topic wasn't completely thought out?

Elok · October 13, 2003, 23:27

Meh, nuts to fast food in general. Burger King is all right, I suppose, but the rest is pretty much blarrggghh. The lady sounds like she was nice though.

I guess Pittsburgh must be a part of the South then.

*shocking admission*

I never go to malls anymore

so I'm not sure if our malls have a chick fill-a in them or not. I'm certain they did in the Newport News mall though. I believe the mall in Orlando had one as well.

MrFun · October 14, 2003, 00:55

Chick-Fil As or however the fvck you spell it, are everywhere as others have pointed out.

They're in Iowa's malls.

orange · October 14, 2003, 01:15

we have them in PA (only in malls though, that I've seen)

I don't eat fast food though...

Rufus T. Firefly · October 14, 2003, 02:12

"Rejoice" because a woman who did much good is dead? She didn't even have anything to do with McD's except that she married its founder.

That's really sick. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Ted Striker · October 14, 2003, 03:40

No doubt, that's totally f'ed up Oerdin

Plus you dogged out Miss Turkey in an earlier thread

McNuggets are dissgusting. I hate most of what they sell at McDonalds.

It's called an attention getter. If I write something like "Philanthropist dies" then the thread would sink faster then the Titanic, however, if I write something sensationalist like :Haters of fast food rejoice" then I will get half of the people on Apolyton to look at least once at the thread.

People have been known to drink their urine when there's nothing left for them to eat or drink. That'll come before I eat a happy meal.

I'll take 2 McD's cheeseburgers well before I'm starving to death.

Datajack Franit · October 14, 2003, 20:29

So why not kill prisoners with McAngina, McLard and freedom lardies: committ crimes and we'll execute you with a milkshake death injection!

There's a story about her ownership of the Padres. When Ozzie Smith (yes before he was a Cardinal) approached her about a raise, she offered to let him be her gardner.
