McDonalds McWrap

What annoys me about this is that, fine, you're eating 'healthier', but what in the damn hell am I supposed to make using the ingredients they bought at the grocery store? Nothing goes together! There's no specific meal here, just generic, random 'healthy' items.

Hey this is 'merica! people have the right to eat what they want and sue companies for their choices.

It's pathetic eh? It's not McDonald's fault, its OUR FAULT! Its a dang restuarant - i take the blame for loving their french fries. If i want to eat there sometimes, i will! I am SO SICK of hearing people fight against McDonalds or any fast food. I'm sick of it. I am definitely pissed off that because of it, Mcdonalds now has a SMALLER fry size in their happy meals. Dang it, i love their fries and the happy meal is what i like to get but i wont even get that now bc of the fry size. I mean really, it's got what ten fries in it? SUPER LAME! And we like the toys too. My kids and i eat fast food VERY RARELY, but when we do its a treat and we enjoy it. When it gets so bad they have to take the toys out of our happy meals, i'm really going to be upset! They now have the nutritional facts on EVERY item on their menu. Read the menu people - its up to you to make the right choices!
stupid people....
stupid country...

grab a cook book.

What is a little off to me in this picture is the prices..... I wonder how long ago this was created cuz this is a bargain compared to the read supermarket store prices.....

I actually like the snack McWrap with grilled chicken and bbq sauce. Do I consider it health food? No, but neither do I consider Subway or any other meal out health food, but it does taste good and is convenient. I would love to say that I eat 100% organic and raise all my meat and vegetables, but truth is, this is impractical. I wouldn't recommend fast food everyday, but every once and a while isn't going to kill you.

I think a lot of fast food is cheaper per calorie, but since we don't generally want that many calories anyway it's a false economy.

I saw these images going around tumblr and I was super skeptical because some of their veg and meat seemed really cheap. So I actually sat and went through all the calculations using the UK supermarket Tesco. Right enough, the UK food was more expensive- but so was the burger king. I worked out this meal at something around £22 for the BK and £19 for the Tesco shopping (sadly I don't have the picture on this computer to show you!). Only difference is it was frozen minced beef- not the best quality- because I really had no idea what that sausage-looking package of beef was like. But you could spend that £3 difference on better beef and you're still eating a lot healthier for the money.

I think I'll take my chances with mcdonalds or BK ground beef before I eat that concoction fake burger crap.

I THINK I remember McDonalds. Isn't that the place with the double yellow arcs in front?

I disagree with the statement that fast food is not cheaper than healthy food. Here in US - you can get two for one coupons, super-size free, coupons and discounts. I can feed a hungry group of kids for $12.00. Good luck filling then up on chicken, hummus, salad and veggies. Even good starches. All this will be at least $20.00 and then there are the leftovers and they are hungry in 2 hours and start to snack. Even adults, chicken, fish, lean meats are not cheap. Veggies are out of season and expensive here. The only cheap thing are dried beans and rice.

It costs more to eat healthy. That being said, you can always find good things to eat at fast food places. I agree if you compare these items on their menus to healthy food at home, it is probably just as costly. So... conclusion is... eating healthy is more expensive than junky.

not true. I can make a GINORMOUS pot of home made spaghetti that is $12 that will not only feed 5 hungry kids once, but twice with left overs. Gotta learn how to cook right. It may not be a perfectly healthy meal but i can make it with extra lean ground turkey meat and fresh tomatoes and sauce and whole wheat pasta and it'll be just fine.
They call me Miss Frugal, for a reason.

^^^^
YES!! I do this too! I'm making a pot roast today! The whole meal, meat, potatoes, carrots and onions cost about $20, BUT it will feed all 5 of us twice with some left over after that! And I buy good quality meat and veggies. You CAN make healthier food, cheaper than you can eat out. As for fruits and veggies being out of season... is that really true any more? There are so many foods imported that you can get anything at anytime. You just have to be careful about washing them. Or buy frozen...they are just as good and just as healthy.

I recently saw an advertisement for the new McDonald's Chicken Wrap on Facebook. Before that, I read a nutritional review on the product and let's just say that out of everything in the wrap, the tomato & lettuce are the only items that are just that, the chicken alone is made up of over 20 ingredients!

A friend on FB "liked" the promo picture and someone commented "You're killing people with this food!" and it made me think: Is McDonald's and similar restaurants really killing people when it's our choice to eat there or not?

When you brine your chicken, what do you put in it?

what do YOU put in it? brining liquid should not have 20 ingredients.
