Honest question, to anyone here who thinks McDonald's and other fast food is "unhealthy": Why?
A McDonald's burger is just ground beef, bread, vegetables, and processed cheese. If you buy ground beef, buns, lettuce, pickles, and Kraft cheese at the grocery store, and made it into a burger, you would literally be eating all the same ingredients. Yet everyone acts like eating McDonald's will give you cancer. Why?

Once I went to McDonalds and had to use the bathroom.
It was a mess so I hovered above the bowl and let rip.
Specks of fecal matter went all over the toilet cistern. I felt so bad for the cleaner.
I think it's because of the amount of chemicals and preservatives McDonalds food contains.
>>7453520
The side and drink are most of the problem.
>>7453520
Because it's the stuff you can't see that is in the burgers that is harmful you stupid fucking idiot.
>>7453546
Like what?
>>7453520
>Why?
Super Size Me
>bun
loaded with sugar and of course, wheat. High in calories and nutritionally poor.
>beef
Fatty beef, one of the least healthy meats. It's the quantity that hurts here. Loaded in sodium.
>cheese
Shitty super high in fat cheese product, loaded in sodium.
It's about 600 calories, just for the sandwich, not including medium fries and a drink.
The average human only needs about 200 calories a day
It easily goes far over your daily sodium needs too
It's not health food, that's for sure. It's not balanced either.
That being said, I will get one every once in awhile.
>>7453558
100% Beef is a trademarked term for whatever they make their patties out of.
The beef content might be 100% but these clowns know how to hide behind certain terms.
>>7453556
Have they ever actually proven that sodium is bad for you? I thought that was just an old myth.
>just ground beef
Its impossible by logistics to feed every single customer pure beef. Its mostly filler with beef product- sprayed with a shitload of chemicals to preserve and sanitize bacterial and viral growth.
>>7453561
lel mate do you really think this
http://www.snopes.com/business/market/allbeef.asp
>>7453556
200 calories a day what?
>>7453520
Fast food is typically oversaturated with sodium, used both in part in food preservation as well as the flavoring. Apart from that, it's just energy in, energy out.
>>7453556
>The average human only needs about 200 calories a day
>>7453570
I left off a zero, oops. Are you too autistic to get that's what happened in my comment?
>>7453571
You need vitamins and minerals, and a Big Mac isn't exactly good at providing those with the calories it contains. It's not a health food, and isn't healthy for you by any definition of what is considered a healthy food.
A fresh baked yeast roll, freshly cooked beef, and real cheddar cheese would be better, but it's not like these items are every going to be health foods.
>>7453573
What are you, some kind of fatass?
>>7453577
All ground beef is treated with ammonia

Scroll down. All the ingredients for the bun, fries, and others stuff are listed.
Regarding the beef, it is true that McDonald's claims that their patties are 100% USDA inspected beef. Whether you want to trust a corporation that will do anything to increase profits about that fact, it's up to you.
I've always found it odd how McDonald's burgers take such a long time to break down when compared to homemade ones.
>>7453520
The real question is why does Europe get all the good McDonalds shit
A good example is Italy
>>7453520
sugar in the bread google "goldilocks zone"
sugar in all the other ingredients. its all designed to be addictive...
>>7453556
Good post but you've missed one zero.
>>7453583
>muh scary words list
>>7453520
Now I just really really want a Big Mac.
>>7453606
Wow what an intelligent post.
>tfw you hit a salty part of meat in the burgers and you get high as fuck
>tfw I don't know what kind of poison mcdonald's puts in their foods but I can feek that it's wrecking my body
It doesn't take a scientist to figure out what's going on
>>7453619
I feek it too, mang
>>7453613
There is no evidence that the ingredients in a McDonald's burger are bad for you in the quantities consumed. This misinformation originates from myths, blogs and women's magazines.
>>7453621
>Actually thinking McDonald's is fine and comparable to a homecooked meal with handpicked fresh ingredients with little to no chemicals-preservatives
Ladies and gentleman, the average American.
>>7453619
>>7453620
You're imagining that feeling, I promise. Athletes and bodybuilders eat fast food. In fact, poor ones practically need to live on it when they're competing. If it actually made people feel bad to eat, do you really think that would get by the FDA for this long and be a huge part of the American diet
>>7453630
Do you have any proof that it isn't? Are you a swede?
>>7453633
Look at how they breakdown over time. It's common sense.
>>7453556
>implying wheat is bad
>implying all bread isn't high in calories
>implying 1/4 inch thin patties are a large quantity of beef
>>7453653
what is "they"
Are you talking about that stupid dried out McD's burger hoax/scam?
>>7453632
Fuck off Ronald Mcdonald
>muh olympic sponsorship
No one buys that shit anymore you fucking faggot
>>7453659
The burgers you fucking idiot. They take waaay longer to break down. The fries are even worse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjAucBQa9rs
They don't decompose, they don't mold. This shit is toxic for your body. Keep eating it, enjoy your cancer stupid American faggot.
>you will never live in the universe where Trump partners with McDonalds and changes his name to Ronald McDonald Trump and puts golden arches on the white house
>>7453663
This. Who the fuck do you think we are? Do you actually expect people with half a brain to believe McDonad's good is no different than a homecooked meal?
OP is either a trolling faggot or from McDonald's PR. Fuck off.
>>7453607
For me it is the McChicken, the best fast food sandwich.
>>7453666
The white house should be fucking bulldozed and rebuilt as a Giant McDonald's play palace because the people who run your country are fucking children.
The flag should be redesigned to feature a big bowl of macaroni and fucking cheese.
>>7453676
You seem like a chill person with no bias
>>7453682
You seem fat and stupid.
>>7453665
It's almost like salt is a natural preservative or something.
>>7453683
Jokes on you, I'm not American
>>7453689
>I can read youtube comments and repost them!
I can buy something packaged that has an equal amount of sodium in it, and it will eventually break down. McDonald's food is poison. Some of the chemicals in it has been linked to cancer for fucks sake.
http://www.care2.com/causes/should-you-be-worried-about-mcdonalds-giving-you-cancer.html
Big Macs suck
The quarter pounders at McDonalds are fucking prime though
>>7453702
You have to be kidding. Did you even read the article you linked. It literally makes fun of you.
>>7453767
>Fast food is good for you
And this is why the world makes fun of Americans
>>7453732
As long as they're hot.
When they cool down and the cheese congeals they're pretty shitty.
>>7453537
>Once I went to McDonalds and had to use the bathroom.
>It was a mess
Isn't it weird how the cleanliness of the bathroom is like a barometer for the the individual franchise itself?
>>7453784
Yeah good point.
I suppose if the bathroom looks like shit (literally and figuratively) then the kitchen is no cleaner.
Read one single goddamn book about fast food and you'll understand its downsides
I suggest Fast Food Nation or Salt Sugar Fat
>>7453768
Holy fuck.
>>7453583
i actually believe that they have some sort of loophole with the meat, i mean seriously, when was the last time you bought any kind of meat from the store and it tasted like theirs?
not in a good way mind you, they don't taste like meat at all
>>7453674
>>7453674
Amen to that
>>7453520
I worked there and everything has a ton of ingredients (additives/preservatives). like literally the grilled onions have at least 15 ingriedents
>>7453820
>books written by hipster journalists sponsored by Big Kale represent an unbiased source of information about the nutritional value of fast food
>>7453556
I thought it was 2,000 calories a day.
The chemical additives in the food will do a significant number on your body regardless of how silly GMO bandwagoners act. You should eat as clean as you can. Don't listen to the fucking Monsanto shills that come here, they're full of shit and actively trying to mislead you.
>>7455529
whats this guys name again?
>>7453768
That's amusing, considering how popular McDonalds is in other countries.
>>7455529
Honestly the farmers who have been screwed over by Monsanto's lawyers should file a class-action lawsuit against that company. I've never seen a more trigger-happy corporation.
>>7453632
The FDA is a fucking joke.
>>7453553
Go look up TBHQ and BHT/BHA
>>7455586
>Look at me I'm a massive faggot
>Americans can't differentiate between 1 calory and 1000 calories
This thread made me dumber.
>>7455668
Insulting me doesn't make it any less true. McDonalds is profitable in many countries.
>>7453520
Because you can read the nutritional label
>>7453577
Then why is there a four year old cheese burger in my office with 0 sign of decay?
If this thread is up tomorrow I'll post a picture
