What you’re seeing is a map of the US as marked by distance to the nearest McDonald’s. The furthest distance you can be from a McDonald’s is 107 miles. Which is convenient if Ronald McDonald is stalking you, but somewhat perturbing all the same.

Man, with all these McDonald’s everywhere, it’s pretty amazing that Americans are so in shape in record numbers. Then again, it might be all those delicious and nutritious meals at McDonald’s. A doctor once told me that fried potatoes are pretty much the most important part of the food pyramid, but that The Man wanted to keep that a secret from you so you didn’t get too powerful. Some might say he didn’t seem like a doctor, but he did often cup my balls and ask me to cough, so I have no reason to doubt his judgment.
