    Why does this not surprise me. Enjoy your orange peels. LOL. Google this, "health concerns in eating orange peels".

    :laugh: I like you :flowerforyou:

    Lol me too. That was great. :drinker:

    Get a pretzel and a beer bigger than your head.

    I'm in!

    McDonald's is gross. You are craving the fat and the "thought" of fast food. Yes the calories are comparable but the Carbs, Fat, Sugar and Sodium is where the huge difference is and the all around "health" factor. Don't waste it on McDonald's, go out to a better restaurant and make your cheat meal worth it. A really good Turkey Burger with avocado or something like that.

    I think it is funny how you are poking at me for eating orange peels when I just said it is not an uncommon treat in Hawaii and other parts of the world.

    Also - I did google it and came up with other articles that have said there are health benefits. But now we are going too off topic. My apologies to the OP. Didn't mean to derail with Oranges and Orange Peels :)

    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 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.

    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.
    Most of which are actually worse for you than animal fats.
    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.

    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).
    dimethylpolysiloxane and dimethylpolysiloxane YUM! Just what my body needs. It's said, "if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't eat it." That is poison.

    Can you pronounce all of these?
    neohesperidin, naringin, rhoifolin, lonicerin, hesperidin, and other polymethoxyflavonoids (tangeretin, nobiletin, sinensetin, auranetin, rutin, etc.) dimethoxycoumarin and umbelliferone, citraurin, violaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin.

    I know I can't..but doesn't mean I think orange peels are something to turn from :)

    I didnt realize those ingredients were artificially added to oranges! Fascinating.

    Also, you eat orange rinds?

    I wish someone would throw an amusing GIF in to this thread.....

    I was talking about myself when I said it was easier for 'ME' to be a smart alec when I hide my face. I don't know how to make a flower, but consider this post with flower in hand. An orange too ;)

    Uggghh...why am I reading these posts? All this McDonalds chit-chat is putting me straight on the path to a double quarter-pounder cheat! Oooh, and a huge chocolate shake. Oh god, I'm going to bed before I find myself in the drive through. Night all...

    My anerythristic, hypomelanistic, and amelanistic cornsnakes are all very grateful for that gem. The ones with adendritic melanophores and the hypoiridophoric phenotypes agree.

    I like fast food too, but what I often do is get a kid's meal (which - fun fact - was what a regular ADULT meal was when they first opened) - hamburger, cheeseburger or 4-piece nugget, 12 oz soda, milk or juice and a small (100 cal) fry with apple slices (they actually put apple slices in all the happy meals now). Plus you get a toy and sometimes those can be amusing for a minute, but if you don't want the toy, maybe donate it to a thrift store or something.

    I wouldn't of course advise eating it every day, but there are healthy ways to do it. If you wanted a salad get it with grilled chicken, take a ketchup container and squeeze the dressing into it to use it on the side. Dip your fork before every bite - I do this and only use about half the dressing.

    But, really, the best advice I can give is: don't deprive yourself. You've been craving it for a month go ahead and have it and if it's a one time thing, go ahead and have whatever meal you really want - in the course of a healthy lifestyle, one meal won't screw everything up.

    I tried that In beijing during my meat eating days (pre 1991) it tasted like fishy chicken from what I can remember.

    If a cal is a cal, sure. But, how much fat is in a McMuffin, vs your breakfast?
    And of course your body is saying fat is good....it is. It just not really good for you in large quantities.
    Basically, eating there daily, bad. On occasion....not so bad.
    For that matter you could eat your cals in lard every day, and as long as you keep them under the amount you burn in a day, you will lose weight. You will likely have a heart attack, but at least you will look good.

    I had some at a Ren Faire (gator meat)...it didn't taste all that fishy and the meat seemed more tender than chicken.

    The thought of eating fast 'food' makes me ill. If I put that stuff in my body, I feel bad so why would I do it? I'd rather cook something so I know what goes in what I eat. Plus I like to cook.

    I just wanna try everything once, ya know? Fish eyes were pretty unappealing though... I can do without that again.

    I don't mind fish eyes, but I grew up on things like that. lol. I do want to try urchin one of these days for sure. :) As far as I know, I've never had it.

    I dont really like mcd's- its too greasy and the burger patty doesn't even taste like real beef. If I'm going to have a burger, I'm going to have a real one. BWW's Big Jack Daddy Burger. It's huge, has way too many calories, but is so worth it.
