I also enjoy butter more than sucking milk straight from a cow's teat and swishing it around in my mouth until it's churned into a consistency that I can then spit onto my food.
...but then again, butter's probably one o' them there "Bad Foods".
Used to be, but it's back out of bad food jail on parole. Now margarine (the healthy alternative) is the bad guy.0 -

Oh, I didn't mean scientifically. Because the entire premise of this thread has nothing to do with actual science. I was talking in terms of dem feelz.0 -

In that case, I think butter is the jerky boyfriend that keeps getting dumped but the girl keeps coming back to him. One day, he's all natural and the next he's full of fat and just plain awful. Then margarine is artificial and butter is all natural so he's good again. She hates his guts...but he's so cute and sweet...but he's such a jerk...but look how sincere he is...0 -

But think of the calorie burn from mouth-churning your own fresh butter. It would probably turn butter into a negative calorie food.0 -

I would agree that trans fats are bad, but there numerous trans fat free margarines available.0 -

(what is common sense? i know i know). making a pizza at home vs little caesars, home made burgers with grass fed beef on freshly baked bakery bread and tomatoes and onion from your own garden vs. Mcdonald. is this so unreasonable an idea?
But the question...is why?
If it's common sense and not hokus pokus there has to be a reason why.0 -

how are you defining processed?0 -

so people that don't have gardens because they live in the city are doomed to a shortened life of eating processed foods...?0 -

Are you implying that a grocery store tomato (it's a bit chilly for fresh garden tomatoes this time of year) is not food?0 -

What part of the 100% beef McDonald's patty is not food? The beef or the beef?

And again...the important question is...why?
I mean if it's a choice you're making for yourself...I got no issues. But when making blanket recommendations for others to follow, the "why" suddenly becomes a lot more important.0 -
I don't know, but something isn't right for the patty to be cooked within 45 seconds (I've worked there so I know it cooks in that amount of time, and sometimes less). Yes it's high heat and the patty is very thin, but that's still an awfully short time. On the other hand, their sirloin burgers take 3-4 times as long to cook, and I'm not sure that the size difference justifies the difference in cooking time by that much of a factor.I_Will_End_You wrote: »

What are a few of these "tons of chemicals and additives" and why should I avoid them? How are they bad for me?
Are there legitimate proven health risks I should be made aware of or are you just put off by the scary made up stories of the big bad GMO that went Boo?0 -

here is your answer..
mcdonalds takes less time because super hot surface + thin burger..
8 ounce burger takes longer, because bigger..
mystery solved...0 -
