French Fries: Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric acid and dimethylpolysiloxane).0 -
I ate fast food every day in college and was super skinny. Now I am older and no way could I do that. I have to eat perfectly. My body has become so sensitive to crap in foods. I am now developing sensitivities to foods when I never had any. Your body will finally have had enough of McDonald's when you are older.I have not read all the replies to this post.
I worked at McDonalds for 5 years, often eating 2 meals a day there, 5 days a week. I never became obese and was at a healthy weight probably 4 of those 5 years (I had a chubby year in high school).
There are many varying ideas of a "healthy" weight. But you were also young and had a somewhat higher metabolism0 -
True! Vegetable oil, like margarine is FAKE fat. It is artificial fat and very, very bad for you. One should use REAL oil instead. Such as coconut oil or olive oil. Again, yet ANOTHER reason why I cook at home. I bake my fries from cut up red potatoes with a coating of olive oil and a shake of sea salt.
Most of which are actually worse for you than animal fats.
This is true. They cook the fries in the fat which comes off of the hamburgers during cooking. That is their secret to the fries having a unique flavor they say. They are not vegetarian.I don't eat meat, but I like the fries.
the fries aren't vegetarian.
Nope, they are covered in beef fat or some other revolting ****e :laugh:
This is not true, the fries are cooked in 100% vegetable oils. There used to be animal fats in them years ago but that is a thing of the distant past.
I love your style!
Mostly canola oil with some small amounts of corn and soybean oil because they can be brought to higher temperatures.0 -
Maybe its not actually that bad of an idea, if the last time you tried it it turned you off, maybe going in again and/or trying it, you'll realize how greasy and kinda tasteless most of that is and then not want it again.I'm having a full on craving! I'll go for lunch tomorrow. Have a cheeseburger (300) and small fries (230). Or a single crispy chicken ranch BLT. (540)
Who am I turning into? I used to be too snobby for junk food
But they post calories, and places I would love to go to for a cheat meal don't!!!! *sobs*0 -
Wasn't whining..but thank you
I hope you stop whining soon.
Really? Off topic? The topic is whether McDonald's is healthy or not. No one has strayed from that topic. If it bores you. If the conversation is "too much" there are other topics on MFP going on right now. Thanks for stopping by.This thread has jus gone completely off the deep end. What utter nonsense.
*nod nods* I think that it has gone very off topic...and not in the humorous way either.
Wow...having a bad day? Didn't say it was boring. Hope things look up for you soon

McDonalds is good0

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?
Crazy? No. Not a doggone thing wrong with wanting McD's. But you can order things specially-made. And there is a nutrition chart available online. It's all choices when it comes to any restaurant.0 -

When you cook large amounts of food in oil, the oil will foam. This agent prevents this from effecting the fries and their cooking.0 -

These are both common food additives in many applications of foods that have a tendency to foam when cooking. You probably eat other foods with it and don't even know it. Unless you don't eat in restaurants at all and eat nothing but raw unprepared foods.0 -

I love your style!
Mostly canola oil with some small amounts of corn and soybean oil because they can be brought to higher temperatures.
French Fries: Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric acid and dimethylpolysiloxane).
These are both common food additives in many applications of foods that have a tendency to foam when cooking. You probably eat other foods with it and don't even know it. Unless you don't eat in restaurants at all and eat nothing but raw unprepared foods.
Those of us who try to avoid processed foods probably dont eat much of the above. On occasion, maybe, but I'd rather accidentally eat it once in a blue moon than donit on purpose daily... but thats a personal choice. You dont have to agree.0 -
Why does this not surprise me. Enjoy your orange peels. LOL. Google this, "health concerns in eating orange peels".
:laugh: I like you :flowerforyou:0
