Like i know its shit, i always feel bad half an hour after eating and then im straight hungry again, but why? In theory it should be healthy food
I mean the not-fried burgers and stuff obviously

[Anonymous No.13539069]

I think it has something to do with the oil they use or the buns. Clearly the other ingredients are pretty normal, I dont see how they can mess up a burger patty or fries made from potatoes so it has to be the oil.

preservatives

I worked at McDo so i know the oil is shit, which is why i don't eat fries, but even their burgers make me feel shit and they should be 100% healthy in theory

A small amount of meat, bread and veggies are a somewhat decent meal if you make it from scratch. The oils, fries, preservatives and sauce that McD uses are what make it so caloric.and unhealhty

what veggies? You say "lots of veggies" but at most it's a thin slice of "tomato" and iceberg lettuce...usually less than that

All I can tell you is that the buns no longer have preservatives in them, when they take delivery from the bakery they have to go right in the freezer to avoid going stale. It's a pain in the fucking ass, especially for the older stores with a tiny-ass walk-in freezer.

>>13539061
It's the clamshell grills. It's a fast and retard-proof way of cooking the meat but not a good one.

And whatever they mix into the meat and fat foamy slurry before freezing it.
McDonalds meat has to be cooked in a clamshell, try to cook it on an open surface and it melts into an unflippable puddle

Not true. The corporate picnics use reg and quarter meat taken from one of store's freezers. Quarter meat comes in fresh patties now, but back in the day it was a hockey puck like everything else. Taste better cooked on an open surface too. Clamshells are shit.

>In theory it should be healthy food
I've never seen any information that potatoes and fat at high heat are anything but carcinogenic (doesn't stop me from eating them). A chunk of iceberg provides no nutrition, and a tomato that was picked when it was green so it wouldn't spoil before it got to mickey Ds isn't exactly sustaining. The cheese has palm oil in it and is barely cheese. The sauce is probably just some sort of soy oil fat. In a perfect world the meat and grains are fine, but in our reality you're eating enriched white bread with 20+ ingredients, and meat from 1,000+ cows slurried together in a machine and flavored with soy broth, probably.

Sorry, I should have stated a timeframe on my knowledge.
>>As of the early 90’s...<<
“Grill seasoning” contained MSG
Quarter and Ten patties were frozen blocks of slurry that melted into a pink greyish puddle if allowed to thaw. Attempting to cook one on the non clamshell side of the grill, where we did eggs and hot cakes, would result in a less that was unflippable, the thickness of a lumpy meat crepe, and general hd to be scraped into the grease trap.

You have very pessimistic expectations of fast food quality, a lot of burger joints have drastically increased ingredient quality over the last decade due to consumer fear. Fremch fries are still by far the least healthy item on the menu but only the insane and the stupid think fries are ever healthy

Oh, I can't speak to the early 90s at all, so I'll take your word for it. On the bright side, that's not a problem these days. The patties stay patties. I dunno if the grill seasoning still has MSG, I never thought to check ingredients, but I know there's regular old salt and pepper in it. I THINK corporate phased out MSG but I don't KNOW that, you know?

>>13539883
This, on the other hand, remains a thing. Especially if you get a lazy-ass grill person that overloads the trays and doesn't clean them.

>>still use MSG
Some quick research shows them claiming not to use MSG...
But in an effort to be able to say that they are using hydrolyzed proteins and yeast extracts that let them not list MSG as an ingredient, but still get the glutamate into your food for the exact same effect.

This must be bait. If it’s not I’m not sure why you get hungry you must be a fat ass lol because when I eat mcdicks it just sits in my stomach like a lump for hours and hours lol.

And it’s not healthy it certainly has your macronutrients but it has lots of fat and salt for the volume of it’s given size and is heavily processed and has very little vitamins or minerals. It’s fine to eat now and then when your lazy but it’s shit food

Well we were talking Macdowland's here, I imagine some places like CHik Fillet and Five Guys are less toxic, but I have no idea. And these days, if you're not being cynical and jaded when it comes to food, you're just not being realistic. There are entire aisles at grocery stores filled with toxic food that I never even walk down.

too much sugar. sugar from the soda, sugar in the bun, sugar in the ketchup you probably dip your fries in. might not be enough protein either.

>you need to physically fill your stomach
your stomach being full can make you want to stop eating but not necessarily be completely satisfied either. it seems like your brain also gets signals for getting enough protein/fat/carbs in a good balance rather than just from if your stomach is full or not.
