There are some items in a grocery which are ready to devour with no cooking utensils, but these may not be competitive in a calories per dollar contest against McDs. These days I see more and more people doing some urban camping, or are living in cars. Generally anyone can collect sufficient donations to survive on fast food if they hang around the population centers, especially in rich areas like the Silicon Valley.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>My message is that one really can live on that stuff if one doesn’t overeat, which can be hard to do, even I recognize it. McDonald’s has evolved some excellent comfort food, such as those soft warm fish sandwiches, mmmmmm, and those long greasy salty fries, mmmmm so good, number 11 on the value meal menu, 6 dollars and 32 cents gets you these and a tall icy soda with free refills, such a deal is this. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Don’t hate them: McDonald’s is not evil, just highly successful. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>spike<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
