How Many Times a Week do You Eat Fast Food?

[msinc]

I like what I like. Yes, I eat fast food plenty and I'm a burger fanatic.

I don't really like Chicken nuggets, but I do find it funny that people don't like them when they learn that there's nothing but chicken in them. What did you think was in there?

Well, I had kinda hoped that they would at least take out the bones and beak and feet...instead of steaming it to rubber and mixing it right on in!!! They had this thing that kinda combed thru the drying slurry to put the texture of real meat back into that mess. I have to admit...it was clever they way they did it. I mean, they really didn't waste anything, the guts were sold for fertilizer, they never said what happened to the feathers...probably use them to somehow make the iced tea!!!

This is really a case of culture shock. Chicken feet are regular parts of meals in many places around the world, including the US.

Personally, I see it as being a good use of what's been provided. I think it's better than filling a landfill with chicken parts.

Unfortunately 2 or 3 times a week.
Wish I took better care of my body

Doesn't look like this site is a very good candidate for a Mickey D ad campaign....

What did Bismarck say about watching sausages being made? <Insert emoticon tossing its cookies>

My grandfather when they came to visit brought fresh chickens for dinner. I was very young when he hung them upside down on a tree branch by their legs tied and shoved a knife up there throat. They bled out, the woman plucked feathers. We had chicken catch a tore that night.
These were ways brought here from the homeland.(Italy). It's not fast food but we ate good.

Every once in a while I get the Spicy Italian at Subway, and also every once in a while I go to Five Guys for a burger.

That's about the extent of my fast-food intake!

Without exaggeration I can't remember the last time I ate anything that could remotely be considered fast food. No food snob; I'll eat pretty much anything put before me. That stuff is poison plain and simple. It pushes all the right buttons and for that reason I avoid it.

I vividly remember seeing my Grandmother kill a chicken. I must have been 4 or 5 at the time. She tied its legs to a low branch and stretched its neck across a stump then decapitated it with a hatchet. It kicked for an unbelievably long time. I think it could have done a hundred yard dash.

No one ever had to explain the meaning of "Running around like a chicken with its head cut off" to us country folk.

I don't eat fast food 'cause I'm too slow to catch it.



Sorry guys I couldn't resist.

Very rarely... usually while on surveillance or at a crime scene, and only if there is NOTHING else available.

 

[vytoland]

we eat at the fast food joints rarely.....MAYBE once or twice a year.......

I used to like chicken McNuggets....until I watched a documentary titled "Super Size Me"
It showed how they make them...they kill the chicken, it looked like it was electricity. Then a machine rubbed all the feathers off and a funny looking hook thing pulled out most of the entrails. Then they cooked the entire body, beak, feet, head and all by steam. The cooked chickens went into this big cauldron to boil. It turned in to a gray slurry. Then it was drained, partially dried, dyed to look like chicken meat and formed with a press into the basic McNugget shapes.
Dude...you gotta be kidding me!!!!! I used to put that in my mouth.

They used to be made that way, no more. Tyson makes them now and they are 100% white meat chicken, breast and thighs only. Been proven many times.

All I know is there are a lot of fast food places every where I go. A town may not have a real grocery store, but they will have 3 or 4 fast food places. Also given the increase in the average rear end around town, those fast food places are doing a booming business, selling fried grease, carbohydrates, and corn syrup.

But the most amazing thing is how many donut places there are in this area. There are almost as many donut places as there are police officers.

there is no obesity problem in the USA...cause we got national health for everyone

Almost never. Maybe once a year if I absolutely have to. There is an occasional pizza but that's usually with friends at a party or a game. But just to stop in a McDonald or Wendy's or BK .... nope. Last time I ate fast food was probably about 5 years ago and I was starving and stuck in one spot in MD. All I could do was walk and there was Mcdonald a mile away that I saw when pulling in in the morning.

Yeah, I just looked this one up as well. It seems that once someone has found what they believe is "dirt" on someone else, it will never die. What has been posted here is not true now and never was true in the past.

These questions are usually asked with an agenda. I admit to being unable to define fast food. Most of us will disagree on a lot of things, or even if everything coming across the counter or table is fast food if one thing is. Tonight the son, his wife, 3 grand kids and her mother and father wanted to go someplace and eat. Say what you want, its not necessarily a free country with regard to where and when you eat. So I went along and had a piece of cherry pie. Just the act of having it served to me at a table probably makes it not fast food.

Is a burger fast food if you order it and its then cooked for you? Does the same hold for steak? If the person asking is trying to show his/her superiority there is probably no point in answering their question. So we really need some authority to tell us what is and what isn't fast food. Then if we all agree we can answer the question.

...if I have to eat fast food, it pretty much has to be What-a-Burger. It's a Texas thing! It'll make you throw rocks at the other burger joints.

We do have a favorite mom-and-pop type diner where we are known by name.
