Burger King is flame grilled but then re-warmed when you order it. Burger preparation in the fast food industry isn't so much a health issue as it is a taste issue. Check the health stats on any of them.
But, GO BK VEGGIE!!!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Low fat, high protein, hold the mayo and substitue mustard to reduce the total fat content by another 50%. Thank you, Burger King, for taking us veggies into consideration, and thank you for buying MorningStar Farm veggie burgers (even if they are cheaper knock-offs), because it's Kellog's fastest-growing division 4 years running and is proof that the alternative diet market is profitable.

The worst thing is, like reloading against improved Illych, there are an unlimited number of tries. Each new plaintiff = new case, new facts. It only takes one win to set a horrible precedent. A really smart defense lawyer would get McD's to hire a plaintiffs' lawyer on the sly, and get a national class-action together. Once certified, people nationwide would have the option to join the class. Then McD's could whack one giant rather than play whack-a-mole.

I also agree with Timber about the new 'healthy' options on the McDonalds menu - nothing better for you than a caesar salad, complete with dressing, bacon, and croutons . They don't even try to make stuff healthy - even if they used canola oil or something for deep frying that would be one thing, but they use tallow [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] . I heard about that study too Willow! I thought it was all fried foods though, not just potatoes that was bad, something to do with the frying itself?

It is not just frying, but cooking at all. Acrylamides are natural pyrolysis products, generated whenever you heat food. (I'll look up which foods, if anyone cares, but I do know carrots are actually among the worst.) The rate of their formation is temperature dependent, so if you cook it with less heat, i.e., boiling water, you end up with fewer than if you cook it with more heat, i.e., boiling oil or grilling over flame.
IIRC, grilled carrots are among the worst known sources, since they have little water, and the temperature can skyrocket, making hundreds of times the "safe" limit. Then again, we have been grilling carrots for millenia, and would have probably noticed something by now if it were as bad as we are making it out to be... |

But back on topic. Does any over there know what is happining to the kid in his daily life? Is he on a diet or has is parents just substituted McDonalds for burger king or KFC ect. Surley this is an important legal question? By allowing him still to eat fast food from other outlets is that not letting McDonalds off the hook?

I am getting to where I literally want to gag when I see what is served at McCrap or Waxy King. Their food is nasty. Donna brought home Mc Crap, and I looked at it for a few mins, and decided to have a power shake [img]smile.gif[/img] . That shit is just gross folks. All these fastfood places pushing out fried crap, and increasing the 'SUPER SIZE' to EXTRA SUPER SUPER DOOPER!!! and they wonder why America is 80% over weight.
I'm not a vegan or anything. I LOVE steak, but fast food died long ago for me. And I won't raise my kid on that crap just because I'm lazy to make dinner for him/her/monster [img]smile.gif[/img] /choc--hell, choc likes my power shake! [img]smile.gif[/img] (He gets only 1 lick though. Milk is bad for Cats) I WILL have a White castle while I vacation in Louisville though [img]smile.gif[/img] Anyone going to the Derby? Not me Only been once 1985..

It's not like McDonald's or Burger King (or any other fastfood chain) is the direct reason for the Americans to be fat. You've got a choice you know; not going to McDonald's and eating something healthy is just as easy.

Ziroc, right on! You don´t want to know what is in those burgers. The same goes for minced meat.
