All I can taste is the salt they put into it. The more protein they cram into it, the more sodium nitrate they use as a preservative on top of the table salt in the oversalted fries and condiments.

Burger on a road trip, I haven’t eaten fast food since 2008. And, now that they have Starbucks at rest stops, I’ll get a sandwich from there instead of a fast food burger.

The only thing I used to eat was a Filet-o-Fish from McDonald's. I gave that up too.

This is not a critique of the poster but rather a question regarding why anyone who need to hear this now? I am always astounded at how ignorant some people are regarding basic nutrition.

Everything you listed has some nutritional value. However, the maple syrup and whipped cream is probably better as occasional fare, not everyday meals. Great for a Sunday brunch!

You can keep viewing tweets. You don't have to sign up.

I can't remember who showed me that trick.

And good morning.
