Ever wondered what is in your McDonalds?

This is where a basic understanding of what chemicals are. It's a natural form of vitamin C
And helps stop the apple turning brown, which is what happens when left in air.
There's a factory down the road from here where all the buns for Maccy D, BK, Rustlers and all those other horrible microwave burger things are made. Repaired a gearbox from there covered in dough. It goes as hard as concrete and is fire resistant. Would explain why they don't decompose.
Just like normal dough.
Lack of decomposition is nearly always far more to do with cooking and dehydration, than anything else.
Even at home with fresh veg it's easy to see them preserved by drying just drying out, especially when cut small and in the summer.

Precisely - high temperature frying, like McDonalds does. So what I said above is pretty much valid.
Wel no, as the American stuff will also have that, along with all the other stuff quoted. So uk to USA is still very different.
Same with veg oil for the home.
If you are going to eat crap at least eat a healthy version of it!

Supermarket stuff isn't automatically healthy.
I wish we had a labeling reform, especially in this high tech world, could keep labels the same now but have a Qr code, which had far more strict on ingredients and could also include which farms etc it comes from. It's hard making an informed choice when labeling is pretty worthless.

Not necessarily a health freak but I like my food. So I don't eat at Macdonalds
Well yes... That too!
We often get threads like this and in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with McDonalds or any other similar fast food as long as its in moderation. Its the people who eat there everyday who are those putting their health at risk, especially with the cheaper items they do deals on like basic burgers and fries.
I live close to a busy high-street and it amazes me how many kids I see who are eating McDonalds after school while waiting for the bus just along from it. They are eating this everyday, then likely going home and eating something else for dinner too. Obviously kids tend to be active enough that they aren't piling on the pounds, but they are still by no means healthy when eating food like that all the time.

Maybe the 2 cheese burgers, 5 double cheese burgers, and 6 chicken nuggets I ate a few weeks ago when drunk weren't such a good idea.
In my defence, I only asked my mate to get me 1 cheese burger after I'd ordered the nuggets, and somehow I ended up with the above.

Someone once tried to convince me that a Big Mac was healthy? no joke I saw them a week back and he must be 25 stone. lol i didnt stop to speak but was laughing in my head thinking "yeah Big Macs are really healthy aren't they"

Never really wondered no, I automatically assumed it was garbage.
Then again I eat it maybe 3-4 times a year so I'm not exactly worried, the chemicals in tap water probably do me more harm.
In theory you could make a Big Mac that is healthy, probably wouldn't taste much like a Big Mac though.
