Five Guys Coming to Ames

Buy meat at Hy-vee and other accessories and take 20 minutes (maybe) to cook it without leaving home for way less.

If people are eating at these places because of specifics that they can't get at home, they need to reestablish their priorities.

It's really not that difficult.
Buy hamburger? Only if it’s a last resort. I have my beef butchered.
 
I have but now that they've come out with the meatless burger thing I'm boycotting that hippie establishment.



Unless I'm hungry and there's one near by than I'll probably get something from there.

Had my first Impossible Burger at the hospital cafeteria.

It really is pretty close to the real thing. I'd say about 95% there. Add in the fixins and it's as about as good as most fast food burgers.

Waiting for the BK version. Get the professionals making that burger.....plus cooking it on the same grill as beef can't hurt either.

Not all of us care about that. It's convenient and tastes good.

Obviously.

And then people wonder why obesity rates are what they are or why they don't lose weight.

Each to their own but if anyone complains about how hard it is to save money and be healthy when they eat out regularly, they're clueless.
 
I know, just CRAZY to point out that fast food is overpriced no matter where from and unhealthy.

You said, "without leaving home" and told people to adjust their priorities, which makes you an angry old man. If you would have said, "fast food is overpriced no matter where from and unhealthy" originally, you wouldn't come off like an angry old man. Only angry old men tell people to "reestablish their priorities" as if priorities aren't subjective anyway.

I didn't tell anyone to do anything. If people are needing specifics at restaurants that cost lots of money, that's on them if they complain about prices.

It's not angry old man--it's reading stuff and paying attention to things not acting like focusing on health is bad.
 
I'm fat because I eat beef. Beef is linked to higher rates of all kinds of bad stuff

Does it matter if I get my beef fix from a slaughterhouse or a McDonalds? Same result in the end.

Me in fat-boy pants grabbing my chest

JUST from eating beef?

Either way I fail to see why people complain about prices from one spot to the other if that's something they're regularly doing.

Your name is "madguy"...why are you arguing?

Focusing on Health is good! I don't eat fast food, and only enjoy Five Guys (the reason we are all here to begin with) on a very limited basis because its awful for you. But your original post told everyone to go to the store and make their own burgers so they didn't have to leave the house, and that if that is an issue they need to readjust their priorities

It does read like that so apologies, but not the intent.
 
I like Five Guys but its not twice as good as Wendys which is half the price. Also Wendys has a drive thru so I dont have to risk falling over when Im drunk, or getting anxiety from dealing with people face to face because Im too high, or some combination of both.

I really hope you're not the one driving the car when you go through the drive-thru when you're falling-over drunk or high . . .
 
I remember when I was in 6th grade, Burger King came to my town for the first time, and it seemed like a really big deal.

They sponsored my youth basketball team. This league was too lazy to even assign team names, your team name was just whatever the sponsor was. So it wasn't like "The Burger King Bears" or anything, we were just "Burger King."

There was another team sponsored by a local law office, so their team name was really long and uninspiring.

Today's' game is "Burger King" vs. "Smith, Jones, Robinson, and Maxwell, Attorneys at Law."

I prefer to butcher my own calf each time. It only takes a couple of hours, if you're slow.
