Five years ago, we were in the throes of the Supersize Me era and McDonald's was in full retreat from the food police. Today, however, the anti-McDonald's mentality seems to have lost some of its steam. The company continues to report positive earnings quarter after quarter.

Clark has modified his eating habits and usually has chicken at McDonald's instead of beef. In fact, McDonald's now sells more chicken than beef. Who would have ever thought that?!

The penny-pincher was recently at a McDonald's while a McCafé was being added on site. McCafés typically have bistro tables, a fountain and fancy coffees and pastries on the menu. One of their main selling points is that they offer Starbucks-style drinks at a McDonald's kind of price. The first U.S. experiments with McCafés took place in Raleigh, N.C., and now future rollouts are planned for more locations.

Clark still thinks McDonald's is a real value -- he orders off the dollar menu -- so get ready to post on Clark Stinks if you are anti-McDonald's!

Their food is not necessarily bad for you; it all depends on what you choose to eat off the menu. For example, Clark's daughter prefers the package of apple slices to the fries at the fast-food restaurant.
