That I can agree with, some years ago we made a decision to cut out food that contained additives, it is now at the point we do feel ill on all bar fresh food, anyway the other week we was across in england (bad enough on its own) and after 7 hrs of us driving between us we needed to eat and could only find a mcwatsits so reluctantly I had chips (note not fries I am not yank) a fish type thing no sauce and a coffee she had chips and a burger with a coffee and we had one of those apple pie things 3 or 4 bites into the food I looked over she was white and I didn’t feel too well, 3 seconds later we treated the cafe (no way can I call it a restaurant) to a double portion of mcprojectile vomit and yes we made it supersize. The manager wasn't too happy nor was one or two customers within range anyway we settled for £10 of mcpoison vouchers each a full refund and a fresh coffee (yes the only safe thing), vouchers given to friend for kids, we saw the doc when we got back home (no way was I seeing a UK NHS butcher) and he concluded that due to us having a diet mainly of fresh produce with zero additives we had gone into digestive toxic shock due to the high amount of "permitted toxins" in the food, it seems they have about 30 times more of these additives than most pre made foodstuffs.

What is all this anti English bol-locks for!

What a load of tosh.

Absolutely no need for that.

Just stay on your Island and see if you can manage on your own.

You don't like PG tips :eek:

Oh well, you wouldn't be saying that if you lived in the US. No-one there can make a decent cuppa.

I know! PG Tips is the only tea for me! That's one reason I get tea from McDs, that and it's cheaper than coffee shops, and they have a loyalty card.

I believe they have a sign up saying they are made with 100% chicken breast meat these days(which asks questions about what used to be in them).

Sorry, nothing at you personally but this is one thing that really get on my t*ts. And there were countless smug facebook groups and so on when this was first announced...

Chicken leg? Chicken thigh? Any meat from a chicken that isn't an expensive breast cut?

McDonalds may not be the highest quality food, but it certainly isn't loaded with any more additives than most other pre packed catering food.
Aren't you worried that you now have such an extreme diet that you now either can't actually eat unless you take food with you, or just can't go any distance away from home?
It has to be bad it you can't even manage to get to a toilet before being sick, or none of you have time to even react to the other being sick.

Its her mind, unless she had a allergy to some thing else, or wolfed her food down to quickly.

Fresh fruit and veg is loaded with toxins far more than a burger.
eg raddish has limits of one toxin over 5 times the amount food manufacturer are allowed to add.
Soya has about 11 different toxins in.
as for coffee well thats got lots of stuff in as well.
big brands like macdonalds are going to be relatively clean as since 7 years ago when you stoped eating artifical addatives most retailer own brand products have gone clean dec.

You seem to be proud that you nearly vomitted on other customers.

A bit unfair really - I shoud have eaten the whole box myself.

Burp!

45 calories per nugget, so what's your problem?

No fries

and an orange juice.

I would add that my daughter has a well balanced diet, but is also impossible to fill and has the body of a stick insect.

Her last MaccyD's was over a month ago anyway.

I had no clue as to how many calories in a nugget, so my thoughts weren't based around the calorific content - and I have no problem whatsoever, it just struck me as quite a lot for one adult and one child when you only get six in one adult meal. But, each to their own.

I don't mind Mcdonald Chicken Nuggets, they're ok and I believe they have a sign up saying they are made with 100% chicken breast meat these days(which asks questions about what used to be in them). The extra's like celery are probably linked to the batter, I wonder if that means they count as one of your 5 a day?

The 45% Chicken in them is 100% Chicken breast .

That actually sounds quite reasonable.

as above they sound fine to me. If you have a much higher meat content you might well just have a chicken breast by itself.

They are quite small so the surface area will make up a big % of the product thus a higher batter ratio.

Nothing in there that is scary.
