I doubt those stats are dramatically worse than what you get from a burrito at one of those joints that are all the rage now.

The point being?

My Chipotle menu item of choice-- fajita chicken burrito bowl-- has just 385 calories

I had to quit getting the chips-- they're 585 calories if you eat all of them.

It's the sugar. There must be six tablespoons of sauce on there or something. I don't get the appeal of a sopping wet burger dripping all over you.

I think the lettuce and tomato offends me most on that burger.

Lettuce is cool but a big old thick slice of tomato is gross.  I like tomatoes cooked or finely chopped & mixed with onions & whatnot.

Lettuce, lettuce.

I mean sure there's personal preference but it shouldn't be surprising that lettuce and tomato might come with a burger. Almost always come standard (plus onion) if you get a burger at a restaurant.

Tomatoes are awesome. What ruins a burger for me is pickles and mayo.

You guys are weird.

Also, pickles are evil. Don't eat evil.

It's just me. I don't like lettuce and I'll take my tomatoes somewhere else.

Yeah. Most of my memories of eating McDonald's burgers as a child involve opening them up to remove out the pickle slices.

And occasionally forgetting.

Pickles rule.  Just not the bread & butter ones.

I thought I was the only one who did that!

Fast food pickles are indeed the devil. Especially when they put those end pieces on a burger.
