    Unhappy Meal: Customers complain Macca's food has gotten smaller

    Society should get over considering such food as a “treat”. Sugar filled carbohydrates such as the bun is not good. The sauces and spreads are sugar laden. The meat is fried in oils that are questionable. Sugar is more additive than cocaine.

    A government plan to get us to diet perchance. Or deter us from going to hospital. Hospitals run on a tight budget. Organic vegetables and grass fed meat is on a far horizon.. In third world countries families bring food into hospitals for their relatives. It’s happening here now.

    Traveller blasts airline for shocking meal: ‘What the hell?'

    As the Japanese say, if you lose your angry in a dispute, you’ve lost the argument! Take out you phone, find the calculator and gently point out to the check out chick the error. Dont forget to smile, not smugly, but in appreciation of someone proving service. if a few cents is worth you...
