I told the girls they better get their toy's and fries while this administration still allows it.
I just ate there the other day. (first time in many months) I also bought three mcnugget happy meals for my friend's daughters. They got toys and fries instead of apple slices. It was a treat to them and not a regular event. They can get apple slices at home.
I get tired of our Gov. putting their noses in every nook and cranny of private lives and successful business's. I told the girls they better get their toy's and fries while this administration still allows it.( they ordered the fries before i said that.) Sorry if I got off the mcnugget topic. Blood just shoots out of my eyes every time I think about what this big ass government is trying to do to McDonalds and Free Market places like them. Makes me want to eat there more often.

I apologized for getting off the topic of McNuggets. I really didn't address it, so, yes I'd rather eat them in the UK from the sounds of it. Let the free market work and maybe McDonalds will change their recipe if there is an outcry from consumers. I just don't think we need the goverment putting tons of regulations on fast food places. More and more parental rights are being taken away. And demonizing a legitamite business for giving away toys is outrageous. If a parent can't say "no" to their kids, then maybe they shouldn't have any. On the other hand if a parent wants to "treat" their kids to McDonalds that should be their right. Obama ain't my mama.I take your point with respect to Government interference.
However I do not think that in this instance Government is involved, at least I have no evidence of that.
But whoever pointed out this fact that processed foods in at least the UK and likely throughout the EU are more wholesome than processed foods within the US, deserves in my mind, to be congratulated.
I was largely raised in the UK and so far as I can remember, we in the UK rarely followed American eating habits.
Whether that situation has changed i would not like to say as I have not lived extensively in the UK these last 30 odd years.
Ah - I hope they left out that "they are cooked, then coated, then cooked again" - seems like they just hacked it off the statement."in the United Kingdom, they are cooked and then coated. As a result, the British McNuggets absorb less oil and have less fat."
I'm quoting this for the laughability of the statement - pure entertainment!a federal judge dubbed the food “a McFrankenstein creation of various elements not utilized by the home cook."
Well you know back when i was a kid McDonalds food was pretty damn good, it was hot and fresh all the time but now when i walk in I can see plastic bottles sitting on the grill and the burgers stored in a drawer..for how long is anyone's guess.Ew!

After all this, though - why does it matter? If someone didn't eat too much fastfood they'd, really, only ingest TINY amounts of these substances throughout the course of a year or even a lifetime.

I wouldn't know, really - when I was a kid we at at McD's twice in 15 years . . . we were just that broke. You know, that was back when eating any sort of food prepped by anyone else was more expensive than crap in a can from the grocery store.
OMG, damn ..where you living in the deep jungles of the Amazon?Yeah, I never ate there either, until I was a teenager.
I never had a hamburger until I was about eleven or twelve, and then it was one off a grill (I didn't like it).
I've never had a hot dog in my entire life.
My family just didn't do hamburgers or hot dogs, although we weren't vegetarians, exactly.

OMG you too, where on Gods green earth did you two live?Our 'never had it' was Nachos and Tacos - somehow we went our entire lives, until we moved to Arkansas, to eat such food -and when we did it was at Tiger Harry's - a great restaurant which, unfortunately, later killed 11 people with salmonella.
I wonder if the difference in the McNuggets is due to laws or culture. I've never been to Britain but I've been to continental Europe, and honestly I couldn't taste the difference. I wish they'd start selling the (relatively) healthier food over here.

Yes I agree there is laws, when the managers gone and the health inspectors aren't watching and kids are running the circus I can't tell you how many times I have recieved cold hamburgers, cold fries and hard hamburger buns and flat coke. Also not to mention the place is a mess, visit any MCDonald's on the MA. Turnpike, CT I-95 and you'll see what I am talking about. McDonald is nothing like it was in the 1970's and 1980's.There are strict laws in reguards to how long the food can sit out and it is timed. If the time is up and that food is still sitting there? It goes in the trash.
WOW, it wasn't on our menu as a rule either, it was considered a treat at least once a week. I hope today your menu is a bit more expandedNo, we just ate other things.
We didn't eat a lot of meat. We made soup; we often had a seafood and rice dish called paella. We usually ate Chinese food when we ate out. We had mac and cheese, we had spaghetti. My dad often made this very minimalist tuna casserole that he called "glop". I seriously grew up thinking that "glop" was the correct name for tuna casserole.
We had a lot of breakfast-dinners: like eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits or toast. But we'd never have that for breakfast. It tastes better in the evening.
Hamburgers and hot dogs simply weren't on the menu. Neither were sandwiches in general, usually. I believe I had a few grilled cheeses. That's about it.
Great parenting. I wasn't aware that encouraging unhealthy lifestyles was a point of conservative pride, but to each his own.
I think he was referring to the freedom to make a choice. If you read his post, it was a VERY RARE visit... There is no bad parenting in making rare and occasional visits to McDonald's. Once again, the holier than thou left making judgements about the lifestyle choices of others...
Well, I must say I'm not sure that apple alternative is much better than the fries; it comes with caramel dipping sauce.
