Hi. I have always wondered why McDonald's shakes used to be called milkshakes but when they changed them (they were better before IMHO) they were renamed shakes. Does this mean there is no milk in them? If not, then what are they made from? Cool idea, btw! … [Read more...]

Most days when I am on the run, I need lunch and I need it fast and healthy. My usual standby is the Grilled Chicken wrap from McD's (no sauce) with a Diet Coke.
