adventures in "health"

[lapietra]

I'm not a big fan of Mickey D's, but they *are* trying...and it's right on the way to my weekly therapy appointment...The other day I got one of their fruit salads (not bad!!) and a dollar chicken sandwich. Didn't realize the chicken was breaded, but, eh, I'm not doing Atkins. So, for a dollar, it's bread, lettuce, tomato, and a breaded chicken thingie. Fine.
Today, I say, I'm going to be healthy, so, for $3.50, I order their grilled chicken on wheat. For this price, I get bread, lettuce, tomato, and a non-breaded chicken thingie.
mrph.
My therapist says I'm paying them more to not poison me...

Now they need to stop using hydrogenated oil in their buns, as coating on their chicken breasts, and to stop frying their fries in it.

Where I live there's only McD. I prefer Burger King. Burger King backed out of Poland. Their chain was incorporated by the Pizzahut network. They bake greasy pizzas... Tough luck.

I can't figure out why they stopped frying their apple pies and are now offering them baked....they just put all the grease right in the crust to make it taste better, but like sheep, we're sposed to believe that baked is better.

gah, it hasn't been the same since they deep6'd the lard.

I'm going to get McD's on my way home tonight

I once tried the new chicken pasta - it wasn't good. I don't really get their new healthy menu. If I want to eat something healthy, it wont be from McDonalds!

MCD's gives me gas.

I agree, if you go to McD's, don't expect health food, it is comfort food!!

I like to put my french fries inside my cheesburgers!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

[Spicy Jack]

There is nothing comforting about PAIN only MCDs can cause. NOTHING!

I'm a Popeye's fried chicken man, myself.

Good once a month. My cholesterol goes up just driving by!

McD's Big Mac list of nutrition includes:


Viamin L - it promotes that extra layer of blubber you need to survive in the ocean for days on end.

Vitamin V - promotes stong stomach heaving muscles

and Vitamin S - which strangely has only been found before in people who have sex with Polish women shipyard workers.

This guy is doing a documentary on fast food and eats nothing but MCd's for a month straight...along side a team of doctors of course....I read somewhere that he has kidney failure and almost died......

Fast Food restaurants are always the last to change, it seems.
It’s not like most people are educated enough to know the difference, either. Not everyone is aware of the evils of partially hydrogenated fats and nitrites. Everyone knows about carbs, but that is fadville. A scientific study was completed recently; a 30-year study of tens of thousands of people on the effect of diet on health. The results are, not surprisingly, still being analyzed, but they tentatively suggest that evidence gathered so far points overwhelmingly to the “mediterranian” style diet as the ideal one for maximum health benefits. Give it time, and maybe this will change the American diet for years to come - even the Fast Food chains would have to change when this thing gets finished.

If you don't want to get fat and have a heart attack, don't eat crap food..it's really that simple...

People act like fast food chains are forcing this crap down their throats.........

I’m probably mixing something up. I can’t find this thing anywhere. Maybe I’ll look through my science mags when I get back home.

They do !!!
I was walking by the Whataburger last week and 4 of them ganged up,jumped out from behind a large plastic chicken, pinned me down and forced a double meat burger and strwberry milkshake down my oesophagus.....
I felt violated.
