The Spanish seam to love these heart-attack, cancer inducing places. MacDonalds at Fuerte Golf is packed at weekends   

[Brightspark]

THAT SIGN IS A WHOPPER!!!!

Where is this?  More than one Disa garage on the island.

Corralejo. By Dunas Caleta club and Las Palmeras centre.

Be quite entertaining to sit at the coffee bar on the top floor of the Las Palmeras and watch the great unwashed pigging out across the road.

Well it obviously does't take much to entertain you Zed.  You can be entertained in most UK towns doing that, you don't have to wait till you're in Fue.
As Woe said the Spanish LOVE it and the ex pat kids LOVE it too.. live and let live, I'm sure there's better things to entertain you on holiday than sitting watching little kids eat burgers 

[zedzedeleven]

There are many, many nice places to eat in Corralejo, some lovely small places ,privately owned Spanish restaurants where children are welcomed, and home made burgers are available as well as "proper" food. It`s just a shame that brainwashed people flock to the multinational fast food outlets because, well, they are familiar with them back home in their local mall. And they get a free toy. Still, as you say Hev, leave `em to it.

Incidentally, this extract is from my local paper, <The drink which was found to have the highest sugar content was Starbucks' venti grape with chai, orange and cinnamon hot mulled fruit, which had a total of 25 teaspoons of sugar per serving.> Couple that with a burger and, well, it makes you wonder what kind of parent would do something like this to a child. Absolutely unacceptable, the local doctor who highlighted this equated it to drinking a litre of vodka a day. All this is going on at the same time as an almost daily obesity epidemic warning is highlighted in the media.

No no no Hev, "Live and let live" is the attitude that breeds Obese people on the verge of a stroke etc. "Live and let Die" is more like it.

Quote from Jayne Hurley, a registered dietician at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), 

"These places are not serving health-burgers," Hurley said. "And there are so many reasons not to eat beef. It's full of saturated fat, it's high in calories, it increases the risk of colon cancer and heart disease, and then there's the threat of E coli. We don't recommend eating it at all."

I read once burger and chips is ok as part of a balanced diet as long as its only eaten occassionally and not gorged on every day. Maybe they only visit once every few weeks. (but i doubt it).

That Jayne Hurley sounds a bit of a scaremonger to me. If you eat too much of anything its not good for you. I'm not fat by the way....

[Elite of the forum]

Exactly htt number two food once a week is fine as long as you eat healthy the rest of the week and are mobile not sat on the pc 15 hrs a day

Good god, are you lot for real? please, for the sake of humanity stop watching daytime TV.

Can you elaborate on this dramatic over-emoticon`d post? I don`t understand the connotation.

Don't think that drink is aimed at kids, and anyway Starbucks don't sell burgers, do they?

[IsThisForumStillGoingWow]

I just think that anything that keeps the people supplying money into the Fue economy, whether its McDungs, Burger King, tapas, cheap beers, good food, good entertainment..whatever..is good for the survival of the island...STOP   knocking it, it's whats keeping the bars & restaurants open, and keeping this Island alive..and stops the the goat herders from taking their island back to the 19th century.

[fuerteguy2]

Had to happen sooner or later i guess, was always proud of the fact that fuerte was probably the only canary island not touched by fast food commercial outlets....unless of course one includes the american diner in central corralejo to that type of place? personally I am a fish and seafoody type so BK very much non applicable,you are what you eat right.

[Mr Boo Boo]

Who honestly cares, its a Burger King for pete's sake (not sure who Pete is), some people like them, some don't, we occasionally visit Maccy D's when in Caleta and we are not obese (yet), and have also visited BK when it was in the Atlantico....why not close all the other cafes/bars that sell food

[Brightspark]

Not gonna lie, I could eat one of these every night of the week for the next 10 years
