I am going to have a little rant here. Just because I can so bare with me everything will be back to normal shortly.
I just received my Mac Donalads flyer in the mail box it boasts that two can dine for $8.98. Well excuse me since when did we start thinking that this stuff was considered fine food to dine on. I don't think so. It's the stuff we bribe our kids with so they behave so they can collect stupid plastic toys made in China. The whole organization is run by a scary looking clown in big shoes and a bad wig. This is what you will end up looking like if you are lucky. Most of us will just add to the obese factor that already plagues most of North America. Wake up! It's not fine dining and it's not good for you or your kids, or those little old people who I have actually seen saying grace before they take a bite out of their meal. What are they praying for you ask. It's probably "Please God if you can hear my plea" "Let this meal not kill me, I know I have had bad eating habits all my life and my liver is shot along with my cholesterol, just one more time Lord and I promise I won't touch it again". That's right it's addictive!
The meal I was looking at has a quarter pounder with cheese which totes 760 calories and a whooping 45g of fat. (you want that clogging up your arteries). Hang on we are not done yet, you get the delicious fries that once resembled a potato at 360 calories and 17g of fat. You feel sick yet. Well you damn well should cause here comes the cincher. Lets have a medium coke how refreshing, oh it's mostly ice you say. Wrong it holds 220 calories and get this 56g yes 56g of sugar, I'm not even going to get into the sodium content of this wonderful refreshing drink. Now do you wonder why people have clogged arteries, high blood pressure and thickening waist lines, not to mention an epidemic of diabetes type 1 and 2.
But hey I will roll over now as this is only my opinion and if you just love food from the big M I am sorry, I hope you survive into the next decade I really do. It's all about choice isn't it. And armed with the calorie counter that I posted at the top of the page you can do your own calculations. And if you have to go there please make an informed choice about what you put into your wonderful body. If you have received this and read it thinking OMG Sals really gone to the dogs this time. It's because I care about you and for selfish reasons want you in my life for a lot longer.
Good health to you all. Now where did I leave my red wine!

ReplyDeleteawesome rant
McDonaldization = the ills of capitalism controlling everything that we do – how we dress, what we eat, how fast we live, benefitting only those who aspire to gain control of the world and fill their pockets with money – while three quarters of world’s people are starving – ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT eh?
ReplyDeleteMy dearest Chef:
ReplyDeleteTonight I made something I never have before. I bought some Tilapia fish and thought I would try it out. I put in the marinade the following:
juice of one lemon
olive oil
sliced garlic
salt and pepper
parlsey
lotsa basil (I used dried)
and of course capers
After I marinaded for about 45 minutes, I put it in foil but didn't wrap it closed, just folded the sides over. I put it on the barbie and let it cook with the lid closed. When it was done the meat was flaky and white, the marinade was boiling right in the foil.
I served it with a salad of my usual liking, tomats from my garden, red onions and romaine lettuce.
It was deeeelish and I wished you and yours could have joined us.
So much better than McD's.
Um that sounds just lovely miss marinade queen. Nothing like fresh salad from the garden.
