that it's the stupidest idea in the world...? if an oxymoron was in a completely physical form, that would probably do it right there.

- Hospitals are FULL of oxymorons, then!

Every patient should be given equal care regardless of their last name. Oh, wait a minute. Did you mean a McDonalds restaurant in a hospital?? This would be somewhat of an oxymoron.

Ridiculous. I can see Ronald McDonald in a Pediatric ward, cheering up the kids. Otherwise that food belongs outside in a fast food arena where healthy people can choose to buy it or not.

I think it's perfect. Keep the customers coming back! Everybody wins. Except the customer. I think it's just like the auto mechanic who loosens a little valve cap or seal here and there and a few weeks later...oh dear. Looks like your need some work done.

Wow - are u serious? I didn't think there would ever be a McD's in a hospital.

They must rent out space purely on a money basis at that hospital.

Great, the sugeons can unclog the arteries and MacD's can clog them up again.

Not good for the patients, but it will give the hospitals more business.

*note: for those who can't tell, the above was posted with tongue in cheek*

McD is getting some harsh criticism lately.
Give it a break.
People are free to eat what they like.
Many folks in a hospital are not patients, most in fact. Let them eat as they wish.

UNLESS you are with the FOOD POLICE, back off my Big MAC!

That goes for you too, Prince Charles. I had to fire my personal chef!

- Oh mirage, mirage. You are far too clever to eat something made with mechanically reclaimed meat and cow poop. Both are featured in the Big Mac patty according to the book Fast Food Nation. Mmmm. Yummy!

- I never expected ground sirloin. But watch out, the powers that be have decided to run McD into the ground much as they criticize WalMart. Perhaps this is just another American icon that some resent.

- People deserve to know what they are buying which is not the case at the moment. Of course they should be free to buy poor quality, unhealthy and downright dangerous food if they should want to but the stuff is not labeled for what it is. I'm certain tht if the list of fillers, flavorings, potential contaminants and fat content were clearly in evidence at the point of sale then many people might just opt for something nicer. But it isn't and they don't. I think consumers should have all the power and what you are seeing is people realizing they are being sold crap, however tasty the crap is. Want to eat a nice burger? Try In-N-Out. Bring your hard-earned dollars to a company that refuses to sell crap. People should demand better.

Some people say that it is the only bright time in a sick kids time at hospital (we have one in our Children's hospital), and that it is the only food they can keep down sometimes - but at the same time you can argue against those points.
I think when people have kids in hospital it it very hard for them, and I guess it isn't so bad to have one there (even though I'm a nutritionist).
Comments
- Interesting point on children's hospitals -- McD's gets kids with the happy meals, toys, playgrounds, etc, but the food is horrible nutrition-wise.

  by ron4540 on March 6th, 2007
- I agree, but I was looking at it from the emotional perspective, rather than not considering the human emotion involved in kids illnesses. There has been a lot of debate in our state recently about this as they are building a new kids hospital and many people do not want the McD's to go in there.

Is this a hypothetical question or are there really hospitals with McDonalds in them?

If it is already real... OMGs! Thats crazy! Why don't they just install them in elementary schools while they are at it (That's sarcasm!).

Thats awful. People have choices but, when you can drive a couple of miles, get your Mickey d's fix and come back, why would you even put it there?

I think it's better to have healthy choices directly at hand and have to make some effort to get something that is so very bad for you. It makes a healthy choice easier, and I think hospitals should influence healthier lifestyles.
Not demand or force, influence.

Eating McDonalds ( not everyday) but once in awhile can be a good thing. Even for those sick in the hospital...have you ever had a Shamrock shake? They can brighten your day.

OH that's dumb. Hospitals should promote people being HEALTHY. I would not take any hospital seriously that would just up and feed me McDonalds.
