The cheapest, most nutritious and most bountiful food in human history

It's an oldie but here's how they make Chicken McNuggets. Yum. Yum.

 

I can't think of a place in Canada where you could feed a family of four for under ten.

You could, however, make a nutritional meal for a family of four for under $10.00.

 

You can eat healthy at McDonalds if your order right. Specially breakfast.

Nothing wrong with their oatmeal and now they have added Egg Whites.

For lunch or dinner burger sans bun and a side salad makes for a healthy
fast food menu. The grilled chicken is not bad either.

Obviously not what you can get at home and might be a tad more sodium but
still fast, healthy and cheap.

 

Yeah, the rest of your lifestyle is huge. Between the ages of 16 and 20, when I was a high school and college athlete also doing manual labor on a farm, I ate four or five meals a day and usually at least one of them was fast food. But I was burning a crazy number of calories and was about 2 percent body fat back then.

These days I eat two meals a day, only occasionally eat fast food and I'm a tub of lard.

 

Chop House Cheddar Burger at Whataburger = 1,169 calories.

McD's is far from the lone offender. They just get kicked in the nads harder for being on damn near every street corner in the world.

 

I get doing it for convenience, but we go out of our way not to do it unless we're traveling and even then we try to avoid it...

We go out of our way to make things in advance so we don't have to resort to fast food. We have friends who are in the same activities as our kids and it's rare when we see them during the week that they don't have a McDonald's bag in their hands...

 

It's all what you order. Subway is no prize either but they have done
a good job marketing themselves.

Off my list though now. Went into one a few months back fairly late.
No one behind counter and I look and see employee scrubbing the men's
room head. He does a quick wash of his hands and comes out and asks
me what I want. I just said I'm sorry but I just lost my appetite and left.

 

I can't eat beans. I break out in a rash if I eat beans.

 

My grocery store will sell me a pack of stir-fry vegetables, a pack of noodles and a pack of sauce for £3. Depending on who your four are, you might need two, so make it £6 (or just buy a loose pepper and some mushrooms). That leaves £4 left over to add a protein source, be it chicken, tofu, even salmon if you were feeling inspired. Takes me about 10 minutes to make, and it makes two meals for me, three if I have a smaller dinner and divide the leftovers into two lunches. So that's two or three meals for £3 plus half a pack of tofu, or £1.

And shit costs more here. I'd imagine you can get something similar even cheaper in the States.

 

People who go to McDonald's in an attempt to be frugal are doing it very, very wrong.

 

Words mean what they mean. You don't get to change their definitions to make your points have more emotional resonance. It is food.
