Not only is junk food high in calories it's so expensive.

One KFC drumstick is $3.45

Thanks for the link to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I checked what's in a so-called chicken tender
—which is NOT breast meat as most people think.
They're made from the pectoralis minor muscles
of the animal.   These strips of white meat are
located on either side of the breastbone.

Wheat Flour, Salt, Spices, Monosodium Glutamate, Sodium Bicarbonate,
Citric Acid, Garlic Powder, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and
Cottonseed Oil
, Calcium Silicate (as Anticaking Agent), Modified Corn
Starch, Gum Arabic, Natural(?) Flavour, Extractives of Turmeric, and
Extractives of Annatto.


Partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fat
that can raise cholesterol and result in health
complications.    In 2015, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) said that partially hydrogenated
oils are not safe, and removing them from food
could prevent thousands of heart attacks each year.

I had my first McDonalds meal in 2 months. I thought it would be nice to say hello to my daughter on the drive-thru. I get to receive my order at the second window only to find that the dispatcher drops the bag of my burger and fries on the floor. I was close to asking for them to remake the order. But, I figure that I could probably salvage the content of the bag when I got home. Then I could complain over the phone. Be THAT guy that complains about junk food.

The burger was fine. The fries were fine. The drink was mixed well. But, I don't think I should ever eat at Maccas ever again.

It has been a week since my last drink. I am surprised that I have recovered so quickly, simply for being sober of alcohol in 7 days. But, I have little to no desire for sugary or fatty food. I will tell you how I do without alcohol in the second week.

It has been 3 years since I have gone more than 5 days without any alcohol.

Knock out Carbs and sugar.
Fatty meat is fine.
Eat beef, lots of it, but do not cook it in seed oil or vegetable oil. Use bacon fat.
Lamb is another good one.
Carnivore works for Loosing weight and building muscle strength.  Wink

Too late. I worked 4.5 hours tonight. I did have a large dinner today. But, I was feeling run down and hungry -- which is something I normally don't experience, even after 4 hours of activity. After going to get some stuff from the groceries, I went over to KFC and bought a 3 piece feed of hot 'n' spicy.

Damn it, Bobby. I have to admit that the drop in sugar consumption did cause a craving for sugar and starchy food. Maybe I can make that meal my last fast food meal for 3 months.

Probably not - desperation food.... see the lineup at 5pm + of people ordering family size meals..... same with KFC etc.... drive home along my country half-road and every day some dork finishes his snack and throws the box ... then goes home to dinner.... WTF?

I promise you that not a man on the force will hold back or take a break until this matter is solved!  Now - let's go grab a bite to eat and sit down and nut this out for a few hours over a drink or two ...

Have some will power and do the carnivore plan for 2 weeks. Eat burger patties if you can't afford steak.
Still eat cheeses, eggs, bacon, all meat, can still have coffee, just try to limit carb and sugar intake.

You do not get hunger pains or "feel" hungry, your inflammation will drop dramatically, your aches and pains in your  joints will start to subside, and best of all, your body fat content will fall.
You may still weigh the same after 2 weeks, but your bones and muscles become more dense.
Trust me, it works.



Carbs turn to sugar.
Top that with all the sugar you consume.
You can eat certain veggies but steer clear if starch and acid ie. Potata, tomato etc.

Actually, no. I did not do too bad. So far, it has been 10 days since my last heavy drinking session. My body was just craving some sugary fatty food. More to the point, the asparagus that I have been eating has been helping unclog the arteries. One night of a high cholesterol meal would not do too much damage. Especially after I am 10 days into a sobriety stint. Drinking of 1 litre of scotch does more damage to my body than a few days of fast food meals.

My eating plan of late has been to eat sandwiches for breakfast, with some fruit. I wash that down with a coffee. I might have a snack here or there during the day (and try to drink more water than usual). I make it through to the evening meal (which is around 5pm) where I have pork sausages and vegetables. The vegetables are boiled in with iodised salt and with garlic and onion flakes. I serve the vegetables up on a plate and sprinkle ginger and turmeric over top. Sometimes I have a late evening snack of boiled eggs, fruit (kiwi fruit and oranges), a bowl of oatmeal, and wash it down with a diluted orange juice mixed in with chia seeds.

The above paragraph shows my diet that is good enough to be considered a moderate diet plan. It is still fatty and sugary in nutrition. But, it is not nearly as fatty or sugary as those fast food places serve. Regular exercise and work has helped me slowly lose the weight.

By next week, I might up the health factor and start eating salad sandwiches. Avocados seem to be on special again. So, I might try and get those as a snack. And the exercise routine might go back to being 4 nights a week (alternating nights to recover).

Did Jamie Oliver Prove McDonald’s Burgers
Are Unfit for Human Consumption?


An outdated controversy about McDonald's use of beef treated with ammonium hydroxide resurfaced on social media.

    David Emery

    Published 22 January 2018      




Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver proved that the meat in McDonald's hamburgers is "unfit for human consumption" due to the use of beef trimmings treated with bacteria-killing ammonium hydroxide.


    Healthy food supporter Jamie Oliver took on the biggest fast food joint in the world, and he won.

    He managed to get the multi national corporation to admit that their burger meat was sub-standard and have vowed to change it.

   
Oliver highlighted how McDonald’s used ammonium hydroxide to ‘wash’ their beef before it was made into hamburgers, in order to make it fit for human consumption, without this stage the food would not have been legal to sell by nationwide standards. Meat that has not been treated in this way is usually used for dog and cat food.


    The ammonium hydroxide is used as an anti-microbial agent which basically acts as a catalyst to turn ‘inedible’ meat into burgers.

    Oliver said:

    “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.”






Anyone had some Maccas lately?

Um...  for me. probably upwards of thirty years ago LOL.

...

Although I do have to admit to at least entering a
McDonald's often-times to use their toilet facilities
when I'm shopping distant from my home.

I also note that the restaurant part actually smells
worse than the toilets do—which doesn't say a lot
for the alleged "food" they sell.  It smells better coming
out than going in.   (Sorry)

McDonald’s UK has been hit with a massive AU$910,000 fine
after a mouse infestation was found in one of its kitchens.

The chain plead guilty to three charges of hygiene breaches
after the case was taken to court.

Environmental Health Officers visited the restaurant in
October 2021, after a customer complained they had
found droppings in their 24-hour drive-thru order. The
customer was half-way through eating their cheeseburger
when they noticed what they thought was a mouse dropping
on the inside of the wrapper.

Amongst the officer findings were the decomposing
remains of a mouse and numerous mouse droppings
throughout the premises, including on the floor of the
food preparation and main cooking section, in the
main cooking area next to a tray of cooking utensils
and in the hot-holding food preparation area on the floor.


Mouldy food and grease on a kitchen trolley
...
          ...


A decomposing mouse and rotting food on kitchen floor...
          ...


          The poor hygiene conditions were found by officers
          despite paperwork claiming cleaning schedules
          had been completed
.   (Note the bolding.)

          How clean is the McDonald's you buy from Bobby?    Cheesy
