A 21-year-old Iowa college student who’s been dubbed the “Hamburglar” is in hot water after breaking into a McDonald’s restaurant solely for the purpose of making himself food. This guy’s lovin’ it!

With the Holidays approaching I can use all the help I can get when it comes to avoiding high calorie food. The editors at the health and fitness website RealAge.com looked at different fast food restaurants, and came up with their picks for the unhealthiest things you can order. Here's what you should and shouldn't order at four popular spots.
1. Starbucks. Skip the Zucchini Walnut Muffin. It sounds healthy, but it's got 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, and a ton of sodium.
Today only, you can get a 50 piece Chicken McNuggets at all Magic Valley McDonald's for just $9.99.
It's unclear where the idea came from--It could have been KOOL 96.5's Nate Bird, or News Radio 1310 KLIX's James Tidmarsh--but 95.7 KEZJ's Brad Weiser answered the challenged and 95.7 KEZJ's Terry Morgan tagged along for the ride (despite not having a gallbladder) and there was a Chicken McNugget eating contest.
June 9, 2011 A giant McDonald's video billboard in Stockholm, Sweden is hosting a game of pong that just about anybody with a smart phone can join in, without having to download any new software.
Instead, potential players use their smart phone to log on to a website associated with the promotion. After the phone's geo-location device confirms you are close enough to the billboard, the phone's touch screen can be used to control the game.
The interior decor at your local Golden Arches leaves a lot to be desired, but that won't be the case for much longer.
The fast food giant plans to drop roughly $1 billion to re-decorate its restaurants, replacing red-and-yellow plastic with faux-leather and harsh overhead lighting with something that creates more ambiance.
April 28, 2011 The era of burger and French fry dominance is OVER. We're a soy latte and caramel macchiato country now, my friends.
According to sales data from 2010, STARBUCKS is now the country's third-largest chain restaurant.
McDonald's held on to its eternal spot as number one. Subway is number two.
For the past several decades, the top three in sales has always gone McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. But over the last ten years, the burger-and-fry culture started slipping . . . as sandwiches and coffee started making huge gains.
April 15, 2011 The golden arches must have been beckoning 64-year-old Roberta Spen something fierce on Monday.
Instead of pulling over after a police car turned on his lights behind her, the Coral Springs, FL, woman nonchalantly ventured through the McDonald's drive-thru to order lunch.
This might be the best publicity McDonald's has EVER received.
36-year-old Joe D'Amico of Palatine, Illinois is a marathon runner who's training for the Los Angeles Marathon, on March 20th. And as part of his training, he's ONLY eating McDonald's for 30 days. Yes, it's like the exact opposite of "Super Size Me".
The day JARED FOGLE was featured in the Indiana University student newspaper for losing weight just by eating Subway sandwiches . . . who would've guessed that he'd CHANGE THE WORLD?
After Subway signed Jared as a spokesman, business started growing. And growing. And growing.
And now, Subway has officially replaced McDonald's as the world's largest restaurant chain.
February 28, 2011 McDonald's bright-green Shamrock Shake, a minty beverage only available around St. Patrick's Day each year, has a cult following that rivals that of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and short-lived TV series "Firefly" (though possibly not McDonald's other fan-favorite seasonal menu item, the McRib).
February 1, 2011 If you want your kid to go to an exclusive college, don't waste your time with Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Those are SAFETY SCHOOLS compared to the college we're talking about today.
And that school is . . . McDonald's Hamburger University in China.
January 17, 2011 Tiffany Langeslay was an assistant manager at a McDonald's in St. Paul, Minnesota. And she was fired after she unlocked the doors at 3:00 A.M. to let a man use the bathroom.
