If you think that chicken is actually chicken meat and what are they frying it in, I don't trust KFC after speaking to a friend that worked there

I'd risk it for one. I don't make it a habit of eating at KFC, I think it's been about 7-8 years since the last time.

Fat and cholesterol are not problems

Trans fat and saturated fat (that ones ore debatable, but likely not great)...?

Cholesterol as a whole isn't bad (like an egg is high in cholesterol, but not necessarily bad). But you have to manage the cholesterol intake with the healthy fats to neutralize it. And with lots of fiber (soluble in particular).

All fast food has a lot of fucky things going on. Take a deep dive into Taco Bell or Arby's.

This thread is no longer fun and no longer making me crave fast food. I hate you all.

Agree, I meant fat, not trans fat.

I don't think I eat fiber much at all, maybe an apple once or twice a week

You never take a deep dive on a fast food place - ever.  You eat it and try not to think of what goes on in the back.

I get a Big Mac and 10-piece nuggs at least once a week and I don't care if it kills me. I've seen the "pink slime" videos and could not give a shit.

You'll care if you need an operation and when the doctor cuts into you, pink slime comes oozing out and dissolves both his scalpel and his hand!

Exactly. I don't eat it THAT much, so IDGAF.


That being said. I had Wendy's last night for the first time in about 3 years. Fantastic!

Well, sure.

Had a Big Mac and nugs to celebrate a good first 9 holes of the season. No ragrets.
