Fast Food Restaurants

Over the past decade, fast food restaurants have really become a trending topic on news channels and social media everywhere. Are they really using real meats? Are they real potatoes?

I took the liberty of doing some research and I actually found a short documentary on Netflix about McDonalds. It was about an hour long, but really did not answer any of the questions. According to their website, McDonalds uses “100% USDA meat with no fillers.” On the other hand, the chicken nuggets are made of “white chicken meat.” It does not say here if the meat is USDA approved or if it is just chicken. It’s actually a little bit deceiving in some way.

The next restaurant I looked at was Subway. They boast about their food being extra healthy for you and what not, but is it really? I found that in order to keep the greens fresh and lasting, extra preservatives are added to them to make their shelf life longer. Now let’s talk about the bread. The bread is baked fresh, but it also has more than fifty ingredients in order for it to “taste fresh.” It has hidden MSG to tons of refined sugars to even dough conditioners. The chicken, however, is not USDA approved, or at least was not mentioned. Apparently, the American Heart Association is now going to be putting it’s approval label on Subway. Don’t get me wrong, Subway is healthy depending what each person puts on his/her sandwich.

Overall, fast food restaurants can be okay, from time to time. Most fast food restaurants continue to use processed veggies and meats not USDA approved, but you most likely won’t die because from this.

    This post makes me think of the documentary “Supersize Me” — YUCK! I’ve always been very skeptical of fast food, even if some of it looks really good. In the rare event that I do eat at a fast food place I usually go for the chicken, but after reading your post I think staying away altogether is the best alternative.
