Would You Rather? McDonalds vs. Taco Bell
Would You Rather Wednesdays continue!
What if you were forced out of your usual eating routine and suddenly a fast food chain had to be a much more regular part of your life? Some of our readers may eat fast food almost every day. Some none at all. But what if you were forced to make it a part of your week? Every week. For the rest of your life?
Option #1: Eat at/from McDonald’s 5 times a week.
Option #2: Eat at/from Taco Bell 5 times a week.
You can order whatever you want off their menus as long as the amount of food you’re getting could reasonably be considered enough to be a meal. Thinking about the health impact? Maybe you favor McDonald’s so you can get smoothies and salads. Or maybe you favor Taco Bell for more interesting taco salads and their new, more upscale ingredient cantina bowls. Either way, both chains will give you plenty of variety – the question is, which could you tolerate/enjoy/survive eating 5 times a week?
Please share in the comments why you answered the way you did.

I had to go with McDonalds. Breakfast made it a pretty easy choice.

The answer is obvious: McDonald’s. So much more variety. Breakfast as Mark points out, various burgers, various chicken products, and more. Also way more drink options as you said (coffee, frappes, smoothies, milkshakes, etc.).

I didn’t vote because I don’t eat at either place (not to mention there is not a Taco Bell in my town), but survive? Have you not seen ‘Supersized?’

Taco Bell has breakfast now.

McDonald’s easily. Sausage products and apple pies. Taco Bell has become a very poor value over the last 24 months.

I’m Steve, and I have a McD & Taco Bell addiction. I seem to have been doing this for MONTHS. I eat McD one day, and then the next day I have Taco Bell, and then the next day I go back to McD, a,d this has been ongoing. Maybe throw in a few 6″ subs from subway, makes me feel like I did better. Then I just fall back into my McD/TB rotation. It’s bad….I gained a few pounds. I’m not fat, but I have a gut. It sucks.

If I was a little younger I’d probably pick Taco Bell, especially now that they have breakfast. I don’t think my stomach could handle that as well anymore though. I know they have some reasonable stuff with the Fresco menu, but it’s still too rich unless I only get chicken tacos or something, which would be too boring. As others have said, McDonald’s has a lot of variety, and I could rotate some lighter items in pretty easily.
