It's not just the fat, look at calories, sodium and cholesterol.

FYI - WHOPPER JR.® which used to be my favorite.
340 calories
5g sat. fat
40mg cholesterol
6g sugar
29g carbs
19g fat
0g trans fat
14g protein
530mg sodium

One little burger, no fries, no drink, is 1/3 of your daily
recommended sodium, it used to be 2000mg., but was dropped to 1600mg.
Imagine if you added fries and a drink.


Here's the nutritional info from just four companies people love to
eat at. Just looking at the lack of nutrition gags me, it's no wonder
that the population is 30% over weight, and are having health problems
because of that weight. But on the other end of the spectrum, if there
wasn't a market for their food and a willing cliental they'd be out of
business.

Stu,

My first job as a kid was manning the burger conveyor belt machines.

The secret oops of fast food I don't care to reveal.

Best,

Andy

That was quite a load of babble. Looking at the time of the post says
a lot. Tying one on late tonight, eh? And the regular band of
enablers will no doubt be cheering you on as if nothing is wrong with
you.

It's good to have friends who don't care.

Yes, and when he's found to be one of the annoying socks here, he will
have no one to talk to or annoy because everyone will shun him. Yes
squirt that day is coming.

I have gotten my daughter the toys from McDonalds. Not for a few years now.
But if she wanted the toy, we bought the toy and only the toy. If for some
reason I did have to buy food there, it would be the pack of sliced apples.
I just don't trust their food. Too much crap in it!

Here, we have Taco Time and Taco Del Mar. More expensive than Taco Bell but
no crap like soy in the food. We get that stuff occasionally.

Maybe once or twice a year we go to Dairy Queen. But mostly we don't do
fast food.

It's pathetic that you criticize fast food when you have so much
garbage in your recipe archives. You are a stupid joke of a person.
Children would be better off if you fondled them every once in a
while, than if you fed them the crap from your baking page on a
regular basis. Not that you are in the habit of fondling children.
You're not, are you?

I'll mark my calendar.

It sure sounds like you're going to start masquerading as me and some
assumed socks just to prove yourself right. You're so transparent,
Stew. Good luck with that, you'll need it (along with about 30 more
IQ points).

I remember that story. It was a good project and on the cutting edge
for high schoolers way back in the days of yore.

sf,

I wondered if the students learned anything from it. I think it came
across more as humor to them.
