[@danieltan5682]

Yes I enjoyed it very much Christina! Yeah it’s really a typical american thing to “Go big or go home” hahaha

[@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072]

The comparison of “chemicals“ was heavily biased. Besides how many preservatives does America approve? 20? 30? 50? 60? Well Japan authorises 1500!

[@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072]

For those of you who don’t know 473 mL is 1 pint and 946 ml is 2 pints or 1 quart. As in a quarter of a gallon 21 Fluid ounces is 1 pint 5 fluid ounces which is not even half a pint that would be 8 which it weird. One fluid ounce was created as the volume it would take water to weigh an ounce (1/16 pound)

The chemicals don’t make it more yellow they just make it look that way longer

as far as the drinks though, in Europe they rarely put very much ice in the drinks while in the US they fill your cup with ice then add the drink. I think they should have gotten the actual liquid content and conpaired those.

[@HistoryNerd808]

I haven't been abroad much but when I have, it does make me realize how much bigger our portion sizes are here in the States and explains why we have a stereotype of everyone being obese. It also doesn't help that frying is a big thing and our regional foods like gumbo and jambalaya in Louisiana or Tex-Mex here in Texas tend to be pretty high-calorie.

A major factor in the differences in sizes of the drinks between the USA and UK is ice. We use ice in our drinks, which takes up space in the cup. I would bet the amount of the actual drink itself is more equal than the visual comparison.

[@pxrplehairgirl5030]

I doubt that ice would add 200-400 calories though

Just because fast food is vegan doesn’t mean it’s healthy. I’m sure that those things have lists of ingredients that would make your hair curl. And calories galore.

[@rashadwalker8218]

They basically skipped it

[@80sGamerLady]

The US ingredients list rules are more strict in so that's why we have ingredients listed sometimes twice such as salt etc.

[@cgi2002]

To be honest, they really aren't more strict. In the UK if you ask for a list of ingredients they must state every single one of them, including individual food colourings, preservatives, etc (they can't just say "mixed herbs" for example). The reason the list is shorter is because the UK (and EU) bans about 40% of the preservatives and colourings the US uses in foods as they are known health hazards. Hell US chicken (other meats are highly restricted) for example is banned in the UK & EU because the animals themselves don't meet the safety requirements for import (the use of most steroids in farming is banned), and if they were allowed in the UK, the steroids would need to be listed on the menu too (in the US they aren't).

[@stephengoodson9619]

I live in America and used to eat McDonalds as a kid. Key word is used to, I don’t anymore. I feel dirty while eating McDonalds anymore. Except for maybe the Shamrock shake.

[@AndieTartSweet]

In my generation, younger millennial, in America had to watch a documentary called Supersize Me in health class. The show's tl;dr: a man survives solely off McDonalds for an extended period of time. It was filmed in the early 00s when they always had to ask guests "Would you like to supersize that?" and he'd have to say yes every time and make the sizes bigger. The whole point of it was to turn us off from consuming fast food, yet there was a McDonalds across the street from our school. After every class we watched Supersize Me a large group of my class would go to McDonalds. The same reverse psychology is happening to these girls lol!

[@utha2665]

As much as I hate McDonalds, in Australia our menu is quite diverse and have quite a lot of healthier options. They have salad options, a McCafe which also sells coffee shop style snacks as well and barista coffee. Depending on the place, the coffee isn't too bad. Our Burger King equivalent, Hungry Jacks, also has some good burger options and salad.

[@EddieReischl]

Just had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and some fresh ground hazelnut coffee for breakfast. Made it at home, might have even burned a few extra calories making it, and hey, the coffee is WAY better at home. It makes me wonder if the tea is decent in the UK McDonalds or if it tastes like somebody put their cigarette out in it like the McD coffee tastes in the US.

[@seraphina985]

I gave up on McDonalds years before I moved over here to the Netherlands but unless it has improved McDonalds tea in the UK is basically undrinkable unless you are really determined to try and swallow it just to make yourself feel better about the fact you bought what tastes like I would assume bin juice and milk in a cup would taste like.

For anyone who doesn’t know. Fast food places in the US have to list ALL of their ingredients by their actual scientific names. So a lot of those "unnecessary" "weird" things are just the scientific names of "regular" ingredients. Also the drinks in the US are abt 75% ice 25% actual drink.

I was thinking about this. I'm curious about the laws in other countries when it comes to displaying food ingredients. I have no doubt that the US has more ingredients, and potentially more dangerous ones. However, I wonder if it's similar to the Florida-man phenomenon; in which Florida seems much crazier than other states because its laws require its crimes to be more "visible" compared to the rest of the US.

The "exclusivity" of the American McDonalds foods is only true IF you don't live in a rural area.

Let alone when I tried Five Guys..... that's just horribly dirty and I felt sick after trying it 😭 In Switzerland I feel like our McDonalds or fast food restaurants in general are cleaner

[@jreyman]

It depends on several factors, including location, the location management team, the rest of the crew, the quality of the neighborhood, and traffic, in the US. Some stores are really clean and the service is great, yet there are other locations that are filthy and the service sucks. Most locations are somewhere in the middle zone.

[@elsolitariodrogado]

In Mexico (despite the fact that I have hardly ever been to McDonald's) I have seen that they try very hard to make everything super clean in the bathrooms, the kitchen and the place where you sit down to eat... but coming to the dark side The playground for the children is the dirtiest thing I have ever seen.

[@linkin0983]

It really depends, because I've went to Wendy's here in PR that are cleaner than others. When I went to one in Florida, I feel like it was like a bit dirtier? Don't know if it was because of the area it was located in. Love places that are cleaner tho.

Is there any research on whether preservatives actually Contribute to ill-health.

As a chemist I encourage you to look up the common additives to understand their purpose and hazards. Most the hate is from people who don’t know what the components are but just because you don’t know doesn’t mean it’s bad. I could list the chemical composition of an animal or plant in words you wouldn’t understand. Of course some additives are bad for you as are some natural products, so you should educate yourself.

[@nixonmalasi8982]

No education needed.. poison is poison, hence the term junk food.

[@chemquests]

@@nixonmalasi8982 clearly there’s junk food out there, but a food isn’t junk just because you can’t pronounce an ingredient. That’s just faulty logic. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring chemical that can be bad for you if you eat too much, for example.Sodium lauryl sulfate is just soap, which most would agree is positive for human health. Look on a cereal label for the chemical name of the B vitamins. Lots of examples where some education before judgment is appropriate

Vegetarian and Vegan fast food isn't big in the US because of corporate greed. The prices are deliberately kept high, so its never economically viable. Even when the ingredients are significantly cheaper than meat, its more (sometimes a LOT more) expensive. Not just fast food, but supermarket food too. For example, recently Perdue, the biggest chicken manufacturer, introduced a half chicken half vegetable thing shaped into a tater tot shape and marketed as a healthier alternative to nuggets. The price of ingredients, because its half vegetables, should be WAY cheaper than an equal amount of chicken nuggets. But instead, it's almost double the price for the same weight. This is all intentional. The meat producers have huge power and lean on the rest of the food industry to demolish any chance of meatless or even meat-light foods being competitive.

[@jwb52z9]

The US is the only first world nation where food that's healthy, and not necessarily vegan or organic, is more expensive than junk food.

Me I don't do McDonald's, hell no and no way. And this is just my opinion. And for other people it's to each their own. Me I prefer healthy foods. Home grown. Home raised. As in: Meats, Milk, Cheese, Vegetables, Fruit, Nuts, Grains, Breads, and so on and so forth. But then again I prefer to raise, grow, and make my own. And I like a lot of Meat, Milk, and etc, also I don't do pork of any kind except for bacon and that's very very very rare. I prefer other types of bacon, like turkey. My family and I we just prefer doing our own thing, especially because most of us are allergic to a lot of the foods. There's one of us allergic to eggs, caffeine, chocolate, any types of corn, and that includes things like corn chips, corn meal, corn syrup and etc, also MSG. Then another is allergic to any type of melon, it doesn't matter which one they can't eat it. They are also allergic to most of the vaccines and shots that are out there. Then another one is allergic to Store bought Cows Milk, and Soy Milk, so we kind of have to raise, grow, and make our own things. So my sister that is allergic to the soy milk and store bought milk, can have goat's milk, and also home raised cow's milk, but not the processed or milk.
