Is McDonald's really that unhealthy?
I always hear people disparaging McDonald's fast food. Well its not healthy but i think it's not anymore unhealthy than most restaurant food. Its over analyzed. Had usual restaurant food been studied as much as McDonald's maybe we will know that McD is on par with most restaurant food. Ps. Their new fried chicken sandwich is awesome
The sugar and salt content in the average McDonald’s meal is what makes it terrible for your body.
Yea but most restaurants slather on oil and butter and no one makes a fuss since it’s presented nicely on plate. Most meals are 1000+ calories out
Is their fried chicken as good as Chick-fil-A or Popeye’s?
Different. Too saucy for my taste. I think Popeye’s is probably the best but clearly less healthy. I’d eat Chick-fil-A more regularly if I had to pick
It’s pretty good, I think CFA chicken sandwich is kinda dry so I like McD’s more. I think Popeye’s is still better with juicer chicken, but they’re close enough in tastiness that I wouldn’t mind eating either one over the other.
I wonder that too - how does it compare to a regular pizza or a Chinese take out (which is quite greasy)
Both are high calories, high sodium.

The level of processing in their food, the amount of sodium, and the insane addition of sugar to every item on the menu is what makes it terrible in the long run. But once in a while, it’s a fun indulgence.
Processed meat with high sodium content.
The fryer oil is basically cancer.
Really ? :(
McD’s is crap food but you’re right that it’s not so much worse than other fast food. overall, processed fast food is garbage for your body
That is not what the post was asking. How does fast food compare to non-fast restaurant food? For example, I go to my neighborhood Italian place and order lasagna and a glass of red wine. It comes with a small salad. It has more calories, fat, and salt. Thanks to the wine the meal has more sugar. But there is no meat, nothing is processed, and there are raw vegetables in the salad. Is this better or worse for my health?
Lasagna with no meat? Eww
It’s not that unhealthy. Just take out cheese, mayonnaise, ranch dressing.
And the buns. And the fries. And the sauces.
And the patty. And the drinks.
