McDonalds for making such addictive food? I've watched the documentaries and read the books about how bad their food is for one's health, but I still have an intense craving for cheeseburgers. And fries. They make me happy, and not eating them causes me great physical and emotional pain. What should I do???

"watching the documentaries should deter you form them"...uhm no! Every time I see a big pile of fries or read about a steer being hacked into quarters by a man with a chainsaw it just makes me hungry!!

Get a job at McDonald's. Work the drive-thru for one weekend.
Watch the managers pick up buns off the floor during rush hour.
Get burned by a fry basket. If you still like the food after that, then maybe you genuinely like the stuff. So what? A little bit now and then is not going to kill you. Just not everyday.
BTW they really do things like add sugar to the meat to make it more "addictive." And McDonald's spent $4 million just developing the artificial "scent" to make the french fries more appetizing. So there is commercial manipulation of the chemical ingredients for the purpose of marketing and hooking customers.

Jenn's right. If you stop eating the fast food and go through the grueling first couple of weeks without it, you'll find the cravings diminish. I find that now I don't even think about it like I used to dream about it before. Sometimes there's an underlying emotional, whatever, that is the real cause of the cravings. It was and is for me anyways.

I think you should sue, they make their food too fat AND addicting. McDonald's and other fastfood is in the top 10 reasons why Americans are obese. By even trying to sue McDonald's, you would be sending a message to it and other fast food chains across the country. Good Luck!!

I don't know about sueing. Its personal responsibility for you. However, I do feel that if you are a food manufacturer and you feed 23 million people each day, you have an obligation to not make foods that kill people or destroy the quality of their life.

Stop eating the food. I stopped eating fast food 3 weeks ago. It took about a week for the cravings to wear off, but I haven't had any desire to eat that food since.

Find some self control and quit considering an erroneous lawsuit that simply clogs the Judicial System.

Contact Jacoby & Meyers.
There's got to be some ambulance chaser out there that will take your case... and your money. You won't win such a suit, it's silly.

Food is not addictive and even if it were, you need to learn self control as well as self responsibility for what you put in your body...just becasue someone is stupid enough to supply drugs doesn't mean you have to be more stupid and take them....if you do, that's YOUR choice, your responsibility for the consequences...

no, bc the documentaries should deter you from going back. you should find a new restaurant or just cook your own food. watch the foodnetwork channel to get new ideas or go to their webpage for recipes.

Learn to do without. That's like someone suing a tobacco company for getting lung cancer. Everyone knows it causes it, but they blame THE COMPANY for getting it.
