While McDonald’s has made significant strides towards providing healthier options and sourcing better food for its menu items, I wouldn’t call it a purveyor of health foods. Would you?

Eat this, lose weight? [Photo cred]
According to an article called “Anger over Weight Watchers’ endorsement of McDonald’s” in UK’s The Guardian two weeks ago (read here), Weight [...]

Hey guys!
Call us sick, but my twin Chris and I *love* to stroll down candy memory lane and reminisce about our poor eating habits. Weird, right?

In fact, this is the restaurant that my brothers, dad and I used to go out to eat for family dinners [...]
