McDonald's: there's more than egg in their folded eggs

In Canada, at least, the egg is just egg. It's a big feature in their commercials right now that every McMuffin has a freshly cracked Canadian egg in it. "Canada Grade A Large Egg. Cooked on a grill lightly seasoned with trans fat free cooking spray." But the processed cheese, bacon, and 'english muffin' are a whole 'nother story.

I wish they would do that here in the States! I'm going to try to bring breakfast with me instead of having to round up something from fast food joints. The local deli makes a nice homemade breakfast but they are not open early enough on Saturdays.

Just looked at the ingredients for the UK egg mc muffin and it states UK sourced free range egg. Ok so the rest of the meal may be suspect, but at least the egg's ok!

not to be rude but who cares....if we looked at all the ingredients were in everything we ate im sure we would not eat!

There was an article in our paper by a cook who has written a book about how terrible all the processed foods we eat are. Then she offers recipes for alternatives -- using highly processed vegan alternatives to dairy products. Last I checked, neither soybeans or almonds had teats on them.

Well, processed maybe, but soy milk and almond milk are both several hundred years old. I can think of much worse offenders when it comes to artificial food.

Before refrigeration in the West, drinking milk was rare, as it couldn't be stored in its raw form. Milk was turned into cheese and butter, and nuts were used to make "milk" for drinking. In the East, it was the soybean that was used.

Of course, that just proves the point that people have been eating "processed" food for thousands of years.
