The reason why people don't like trans-fats is because it's a man-made fat that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. It's not something like saturated fats that do have a purpose but should be consumed in moderation. Every diet should have absolutely 0 transfats.

Transfats if anything reduce flavor. Sort of like like how pesto that uses soybean oil instead of olive oil totally lack flavor.

Some occur naturally in red meat...

I think you have your left and right mixed up?

Ha ha, shit man. OK go easy on me. I've had a couple of beers

Some occur naturally in red meat...

...And the small amounts that naturally occur don't have the heart-wrenching qualities of the ones that are man-made.

Didn't they switch over their fries a while ago?

Just in test markets while they were trying to figure out a new magic formula.

You know, mcdonalds gets a lot of shit, but they get a lot of credit from me for being brutally honest about what's in their food. No other fast food place I know of has their nutrition chart printed not only on their tray-lining, but on the packaging of the food itself. You always know what you're getting yourself into with McD's, and it's not like the other fast food places are any better.

Taco Bell is awesome, fuck you.

I haven't eaten Taco Bell since that beef recall in 2006 I think it was :lol

Mcdonalds on the other hand, I haven't eaten since I was 7 after I refunded my Happy Meal all over the table at a birthday party.

Did you even read the whole article at the source?

Edit: Nevermind, this is GAF.

No. But that select snippet was basically BS.

mmmm BIG MAC

yummmmmmy!!!!!!

 

[Fatalah]

In NYC, none of our food outlets are allowed to use Trans Fat. It's been about a year now, it was a smooth transition for consumers. Not sure about restaurant owners.

 

[Insane Metal]

I LOVE McDonalds Burgers. Hmmmm

Big Mac and McChicken FTW!

 

[DubloSeven]

I bet it still tastes like horse crap.

i'm disgusted at the ppl who think mcd's is crap. i barely eat there (maybe once a month for their hotcakes), and i KNOW its darn good. i USED to eat a lot of mcd's before during high school..but i had tennis to compensate for it ahh good ol days..all day tourneys of non stop tennis... now i need to focus on eating habits.

 

[mYm|17|]

I bet my cousin that I would not eat at McDonalds or any other fast food restaurant for a month.........:lol

While moving away from hydrogenated oils is a start, using refined vegetable oil for frying really isn't much better.

their hotcakes are just amazing. delicious sponginess. the sawmill gravy and biscuits is likewise also probably the best i've ever tasted.

McDonald's the best laxative I can get. I don't know why but after a rare lunch there, I always go to the bathroom about ~30 minutes later, and it always smell horrible. I always said that McDonald was predigested food cooked into something that looks "good" and tasted "good" with the amazing amount of Sodium in each meals. :lol

If you want amazing sodium levels, checkers is where you want to be.

I really want to know what is the fast food meal with the most Sodium in NA. Anyone has an idea?

Didn't they get sued and had to do this?


Either way, I don't eat at McDonalds. Personal choice mostly, watching what I eat.

One thing that freaked me out was that the grease is transferred in and out of them from some sort of valve on a truck. Looked like a fire hose or something. Just seemed gross.

 

[terrene]

Another fact THE INDUSTRY doesn't want you to know: Potatoes are poisonous, belonging to the Nightshade family of plants.

And McDonalds feeds them to people by the truckload!

The potato AND the tomato?

Holy shit! Poor Irish/Italian people!

 

[maharg]

I don't see why. There are no laws about providing that information and no one else has been sued to do it. If that's the case, it's news to me. Certainly they've had a huge amount of public pressure to do things like that, and all restaurants are under some degree of pressure or another to do it, but McD's has gone the farthest in 'packaging honesty' while the rest of the industry hides behind some really retarded arguments (mostly that providing some information is somehow more dangerous than providing no information).

...I know this picture is old as shit, but as a father, this is still very depressing and heart breaking to look at =(

 

[iamblades]

mcdonald's fries were much better back when they used beef tallow.

Now the only fast food fries i really like are arby's curly fries. Yumm.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Checkers... is that like a Rally's?

Same place, but they change the name in different regions for some silly reason.

I had Maccas last night for the first time in what must have been two or three years. I had a bad case of the munchies and it was incredible, yet not entirely satisfying/filling.

 

[Dilly]

Oh look! He's sporty and slimmer now.

Now (right picture) and in the 1920's (left picture). I liked him more when he was a lazy, fat, chain smoking bastard

Isn't it the other way around ? Left is now, right was in the 1920's ?

All that biking made him slimmer.

*edit*

damnit, beaten

It's like he's saying "BITCH, I know exactly what I'm eating. Drink your diet coke and stfu thanks."

That's the story I heard, too, but it seems iffy. The only way it would work is if the suer was winning and said "instead of truckfulls of money, print nutrition facts on your wrappers" and McD's agreed. If there were laws involved, other chains would have to do it too.
