450 calories, admittedly many of them fat and carbohydrates, but still, a very affordable, filling, convenient, and tasty lunch!

About damn time too!
Some people on Twitter made the mistake of underestimating the popularity of McDonald’s breakfasts.
If a single Sausage McMuffin ™ is all you need for lunch, you’re a better man than I. Can you really forgo the hashbrown and still make it to dinner?
Bet that hash brown goes well if you stack it in the mcmuffin!
If I were still permitting myself to eat fried fast food on a regular basis (I’m down 25 pounds!) I’d prefer that hash brown oval to french fries, onion rings, tots, or pretty much any other deep fried crispy-salty-starchy side order one might care to proffer. The McDonald’s hash brown disc is thick enough to actually taste like a potato rather than just the vegetable oil it’s been fried in, and is still crispy enough to satisfy a craving for crunchiness while biting and chewing.
But, I’m not eating that stuff all that much these days. I get that tactile sensation from celery and cucumbers mainly these days, which is healthier … but a lot less fun.
Congrats to you. I lost some good amount of poundage not eating carbs as well. Sadly, I’ve plateaued currently. I am NOT giving up my booze.
You must be from Pittsburgh. FYI, the second photo on that page is just about the perfect encapsulation of the 70’s. Those guys look like they wandered off the set of Welcome Back, Kotter and decided to stick around to make sandwiches.
Nope, not from Pittsburgh. Born in the south, raised in the west.
I go to the salad bar at Whole Foods.
It probably says something about me that I would pay a premium for food produced, processed, packaged and prepared primarily with lasers.
“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to be done medium rare”
A laser-seared shark steak would be a hit.
My disdain for Whole Foods has reached admittedly irrational proportions, but man, even hearing that place’s name makes me shudder a little.
Whyfor your disdain of Whole Foods? I never shop there on account of it being fishing idiotically expensive but I would not have assumed you would dislike them so much.
Your comment contains reason number one, but reason numbers 2 through infinity concern the pretentiousness and absurdity of the place and its customers, aptly represented by the tweet Jay just posted. I’ve never heard something quite so silly, but I’ve overheard conversations there that approach it. Oh, and the clearly purposeful overcharging. And their politics.
Whole Foods is the only place I know where I can reliably find rabbit meat.
You are definitely in the wrong country for rabbit meat.
If you need rabbit meat, head down the Whole.
It’s always been a food of the 1% here.

I like Whole Foods, especially for things that are hard to find elsewhere. And they usually have good free samples. But it is too expensive for me to shop there regularly.
I also wouldn’t want to work there and have to deal with the type of customers I imagine go there. Of course, since I’ve been a customer there, too, I guess I have to decide if I’m part of the problem.
This just proves that stupid people populate all income and demographic groups. In fact, maybe be the majority of the population.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
Dear God, of all possible things to quote you had to go and quote Mean Girls?
My local McDonalds didn’t wait. I had a sausage McMuffin with egg for dinner tonight!
