    No no you guys, that's the next thread.

    I get all of my eggs from my family farm where the chickens can scavenge and peck. I consider these the most "elite" chicken eggs available. Makes my breakfasts "elite".

    Oh, sorry. Where is this egg thread?

    Are your chickens paleo, or do they eat grain? Because if they eat grain, then that automatically makes you non-paleo (meaning, you fail at nutrition). So you might as well just drink tar if you're willing to eat eggs like that.


    In addition to the bugs and grasses, they have access to...a grain supplement.

    Dagnabbit.

    *sigh*

    Does anyone know of a high quality meal replacement powder I can have for breakfast instead since my eggs are nothing more than little gelatinous containers of poison?

    I am thinking about it lately. The funny thing is, in the last five years I've only been there once, and that was in Japan. And that was before I gave a flying rats behind about calories. I just did not like it, did not like that fast food smell and could not bring myself to eat it.

    Now, after a month of clean living, I want it.
    I mean a cosi salad is 600 calories and I can get a crispy fried chicken for that.
    Egg McMuffin is only 300? My breakfast of yogurt, nuts and fruit is over that (really, take a look).
    Small fries are only 230??? That's crazy.

    I'd certainly feel a lot more full eating there. But is it crazy?

    An Egg McMuffin is a single fresh egg, an English muffin, a piece of ham, and a slice of cheese. What on earth could be wrong with that?

    Because it is not an egg, ham or cheese. It is imitation weird chemical concoctions that make people unhealthy.

    No. They literally crack the egg when you order. The ham is whole sliced ham. The English muffin is just an English muffin. The cheese is basically Kraft singles.

    hahahaha you really believe this?

    also kraft singles =/= cheese

    Which part do you not believe?

    BTW, the ingredients before the "2% or less" part consists of Milk, Cream, Water, Cheese Culture, Sodium Citrate. Sounds like cheese to me.

    For the muffin, before the 2% or less: Enriched Flour, Water, Yeast, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Wheat Gluten, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil. Pretty much identical to Thomas English Muffins, except they use regular sugar for the 1 gram of sugar in the muffin.

    For the ham: Pork, Water, Sugar, Salt, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Phosphate, Natural Flavor, Sodium Diacetate And Sodium Nitrite. This is a slice of whole meat. It's not processed.

    The egg is literally just an egg. McDonald's cracks fresh eggs for the English muffins.

    So what part do you not believe?

    so... here's the thing. if that pork were unprocessed it wouldn't have sugar, sodium lactate, sodium phosphate, natural flavor, sodium diacetate and sodium nitrate. those things are present in the meat when the pig's butchered?

    you might wanna do some research on processed vs unprocessed.

    It's cured ham. It's whole meat that's brined in a salt and sugar solution with nitrates, then cooked, then sliced whole and served. That's what ham is. Those are all standard ingredients for cured ham. Salts, sugar, and nitrates.

    I don't consider curing meat with salt and sugar to be "processing." If you do, that's a pretty strict definition. Even if you do consider it processed, it's still whole meat and it's not "some weird chemical concoction" or whatever that girl said. It's just whole cured ham.

    So let's recap: an Egg McMuffin consists of one whole egg, a standard English muffin identical to the ones you get at the grocery, a slice of whole cured ham, and a slice of cheese.

    those muffins - heavily processed
    the pork - heavily processed (look up nitrates, they're great for you)
    the cheese - heavily processed.

    Even if the egg IS real, that's 1 out of 4

    No **** the muffins and cheese are processed. No one said they weren't. So what? Oh no, bread is processed! Herp derp. All bread and cheese is processed.

    The point is the McMuffin consists of a completely typical English muffin, a completely typical slice of cured ham, a completely typical whole egg, and a completely typical slice of cheese. None of it is some weird chemical concoction like the girl said. End of story.

    Meat is only real if you rip it from the carcass with your own teeth.

    weird because right now i'm eating uncured bacon that has no nitrates, and the only ingredients are pork belly, salt, sugar, and spices.

    compare that to the "ham" above

    Of course. People only started eating those foods in the last couple of decades when the obesity rates and sickness rates started to skyrocket.

    also kraft singles =/= cheese

    Which part do you not believe?

    BTW, the ingredients before the "2% or less" part consists of Milk, Cream, Water, Cheese Culture, Sodium Citrate. Sounds like cheese to me.

    For the muffin, before the 2% or less: Enriched Flour, Water, Yeast, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Wheat Gluten, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil. Pretty much identical to Thomas English Muffins, except they use regular sugar for the 1 gram of sugar in the muffin.

    For the ham: Pork, Water, Sugar, Salt, Sodium Lactate, Sodium Phosphate, Natural Flavor, Sodium Diacetate And Sodium Nitrite. This is a slice of whole meat. It's not processed.

    The egg is literally just an egg. McDonald's cracks fresh eggs for the English muffins.

    So what part do you not believe?

    so... here's the thing. if that pork were unprocessed it wouldn't have sugar, sodium lactate, sodium phosphate, natural flavor, sodium diacetate and sodium nitrate. those things are present in the meat when the pig's butchered?

    you might wanna do some research on processed vs unprocessed.

    It's cured ham. It's whole meat that's brined in a salt and sugar solution with nitrates, then cooked, then sliced whole and served. That's what ham is. Those are all standard ingredients for cured ham. Salts, sugar, and nitrates.

    I don't consider curing meat with salt and sugar to be "processing." If you do, that's a pretty strict definition. Even if you do consider it processed, it's still whole meat and it's not "some weird chemical concoction" or whatever that girl said. It's just whole cured ham.

    So let's recap: an Egg McMuffin consists of one whole egg, a standard English muffin identical to the ones you get at the grocery, a slice of whole cured ham, and a slice of cheese.

    those muffins - heavily processed
    the pork - heavily processed (look up nitrates, they're great for you)
    the cheese - heavily processed.

    Even if the egg IS real, that's 1 out of 4

    No **** the muffins and cheese are processed. No one said they weren't. So what? Oh no, bread is processed! Herp derp. All bread and cheese is processed.

    The point is the McMuffin consists of a completely typical English muffin, a completely typical slice of cured ham, a completely typical whole egg, and a completely typical slice of cheese. None of it is some weird chemical concoction like the girl said. End of story.

    and those typical ingredients consumed as a part of the typical american diet make us a nation of people who are typically sick and obese.

    Bread, eggs, milk, and pork are the reason we're sick and obese. Got it. Thanks.

    glad you're catching on.

    Why eat bread, eggs, milk, or pork when you can just buy a jug of powder? I mean srsly.

    find the powder in my diary. it's open.

    Of course. People only started eating those foods in the last couple of decades when the obesity rates and sickness rates started to skyrocket.

    enriched white flour? yep

    corn-fed chicken? yep

    skim milk? yep

    heavily processed pork with nitrates? yep.

    all in the last 50 years. :)

    You've only eaten there once in 5 years??? Go for it -- eat whatever you want. Don't make it a habit and you'll be fine!

    The overpriced jugs of powder he sells are not processed. It's natural powder harvested directly from trees.
