Are you implying that a grocery store tomato (it's a bit chilly for fresh garden tomatoes this time of year) is not food?
everyone knows those are fake...0 -

I don't know, but something isn't right for the patty to be cooked within 45 seconds (I've worked there so I know it cooks in that amount of time, and sometimes less). Yes it's high heat and the patty is very thin, but that's still an awfully short time. On the other hand, their sirloin burgers take 3-4 times as long to cook, and I'm not sure that the size difference justifies the difference in cooking time by that much of a factor.I_Will_End_You wrote: »alstin2015 wrote: »Because i prefer my food to be made of food

What are a few of these "tons of chemicals and additives" and why should I avoid them? How are they bad for me?
Are there legitimate proven health risks I should be made aware of or are you just put off by the scary made up stories of the big bad GMO that went Boo?0 -

here is your answer..
mcdonalds takes less time because super hot surface + thin burger..
8 ounce burger takes longer, because bigger..

Would you eat anything without a "legitimate proven health risk"? For a risk to be proven wouldn't someone have to suffer? It's not as if previously approved as safe chemicals used in the food industry have never been repealed after being proven unsafe.0 -

I see why people are hammering you a little bit. McDonalds is kind of a poor example. What's in a McDonald's burger that's not in a burger you make at home? Egg McMuffin's another example. The one I make at home is no different than the one McDonalds serves.
If you're excluding Hot Dogs, you'll also need to exclude deli meat.
Candy's just got a lot of sugar, but not a lot of heavy processing.
Protein shakes, bars and powders, definitely fit your version of "Bad" too.0 -

Density of meat is a big factor in cooking time.0 -

And again...the important question is...why?
I mean if it's a choice you're making for yourself...I got no issues. But when making blanket recommendations for others to follow, the "why" suddenly becomes a lot more important.
I just trust food with less chemicals in it. I don't care if they haven't been proven harmful. I just trust that the closer food is to its natural form, the better it is for you, usually.( i know, meat, bread, juice, yadayada) absolutely not scientific in anyway, never claimed it was
Glad we got that settled.0 -

Pure natural form:
Again...there's a HUGE difference between saying YOU choose not to eat things for personal reasons/beliefs and:Of course there are bad foods. Foods with artificial dyes, unnatural chemicals, cancer causing agents, artificial sweetners.some of these are bad at any amount.0 -
