What is in a McDonalds cheeseburger?

I know several people that eat fast food for each and every meal of the work week and likely have fast food on the weekend. Their exercise routine consists of walking to the garage in the morning, walking to their office, walking back to the car to pick up lunch (at the drive thru) etc...

It's hard to find stats that agree, but the stats available seem to consistently indicate the average American visits a fast food establishment about six times per month.

The gentleman in the movie was visiting three times per day or a monthly rate of 91 times.

So, no, he had no resemblance to an average American.

So, what we've learned is . . . . . . you can go to McDonald's three times a day and, if you live a sloth-like existence, you'll kill yourself pretty quickly. OR, as the teacher in Edmonton demonstrated, you can go to McDonald's every day, eat the salty crap but if you work out religiously, you'll only kill yourself very, very slowly. OR, as I've maintained, you can go to McDonald's every day and eat salads and be healthier at the end.

It should be pointed out, each of us could probably do all of the above at our houses if we wanted to.

I think the documentary was good for the purpose of reminding people that you have to be smart about what you eat and . . . . . and you are what you eat.

Alanis Morrissette, who has had weight issues in the past but ran a decent New York City Marathon a month ago, had a good comment recently, that she finally started to understand that food is really just fuel for the engine in your body and it's just an issue of making sure the engine has the best fuels in the right quantities.

As for me, if I go to a fast food restaurant once a month these days, I'd be surprised. And there are lots of people like me too.

People have to be responsible for themselves, which is why a lawsuit from this guy went nowhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_Barber

Aye, and it was pretty good. When you think about it, it's not much different than ordering two double cheeseburgers or whatever and eating them separately.

McGangbang was delicious and I felt fine after I ate it.

[BlackAce]

I was tired and euphoric after the gangbang... and needed a cigarette! Errrrrr... oh, the McGangbang... I thought we were talking about... Ah, mmmm... I like cheeseburgers and stuff

[Got Miikka?]

Alright, I had to Google this 'McGangbang' thing out of curiousity - if I have it right, it is a McChicken sandwich wedged in the middle of a double cheeseburger? Are we talking about a full-sized McChicken here, or the smaller, Valu Menu Junior Chicken sandwich? And, do you keep all 4 bun pieces or discard the McChicken bun altogether? The Urban Dictionary explanation(s) was too vague for me.

My friends gave me the wrong thing then. I believe I had two quarter pounders with a Jr. Chicken in the middle. 6 buns was definitely the worst part.

The recipe we followed was this:

One (1) Double Cheeseburger
One (1) Junior Chicken

Place Junior Chicken (with bun) in between patties of double cheeseburger. Eat.

Hulk---two 1/4 pounders plus a junior chicken sounds awful. That's too much haha.

Yeah, something with the mayo + ketchup + processed cheese that made my stomach turn.... much rather eat them separately.

Well, I know you are right, as I wasn't in lab conditions before each incident, but;

In Mexico, all I had eaten that fateful day were mangos in the morning, then the infamous Fiesta Burger for an early dinner, and by that evening...

In Bangkok, it could have been many things, just the impeccable timing of it had me convinced. It was almost identical to the TurboLax scene in Dumb & Dumber...

I am 99% certain on the King's Veggie Swiss, though. I ate the lukewarm-to-gross-to-finish-it-all thing in the late evening, and by morning I was fooked. I have heard since that an improperly heated veggie patty can be a hotbed for nasty things.

So, you are correct, I don't know for sure.

I am not referring to the meat inside the fat, which is what 99.9% of us eat when we cook a roast/steak/burger, I am referring to the pink layer on the outside of the fat.

I don't know what's in a McDonald's cheeseburger, but, I know there are a few in me right now.

[BuzzardsWife]

FYI, you can still buy the Big Xtra at the Walmart Mcdicks in Whitehorse. It is one of several different reasons why a person may decide to visit the Yukon.

It is rumoured to be available in other locations in Canada as well, but this is the only one I confirm.
