    Agreed

    How come? I would think the heme iron in beef would be excellent, an easy bioavailable source of essential protein and it's a complete protein profile, and not to mention the B vitamins especially as potatoes are a powerhouse to B6 and potassium in French Fries? If he added cheese then there was added calcium, protein, and even some butyric fatty acids which are great for the antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Not to mention some cheese retains the beneficial probiotics.

    OMG and how could I forget ketchup...lycopene!! Mustard once again great antimicrobial and an antioxidant. Pickles another fermented source of probiotics. Add some lettuce a bit of fiber and some phytochemicals. Now as I live in Southwest USA we add chile to our burgers and of course we all know that it is a beautiful fruit high in vitamin A.

    Really? A burger is just beef, and can even be soy or veggie. And, the fries don't have to actually be fried, they can be baked.

    Amen to that!!! Add bacon to your burger fella - I get shredded on bacon and ice cream (with the occasional poptart crushed in it!)

    It increases your risk of heart disease. It leads to high cholesterol, which blocks your arteries with plaque and causes heart attacks and strokes.

    You are absolutely correct - just like crossing the street increases your risks of getting run over by a car.

    I'm with you. I've lost 95lbs in 16 months having ice cream pretty much everyday. Loving IIFYM. :drinker:

    Don't see the problem, except maybe most fast food pretty much taste like a bad dream, of course this is only my opinion. Anyway nothing wrong with a burger and fries for lunch coming out of my kitchen.:happy:

    Sure. I was picturing an unhealthy fried burger, ya know, like cheap McDonald's burger. But of course you can make a healthy variations one too...
