Fast Food

[Papa Juggs]

Low caloric content doesn't mean health food either.

That's a myth. You can't starve yourself to health.

I enjoy the smell of Subway more than the taste. The chicken has a distinct cardboardy flavour. But I could live off that smell.

I know of a guy that has been living on easy mac, mi goreng /2 minute noodles, McDonald's, KFC and frozen mccain pizzas for the last 4 months at least. 100% not a word of a lie this is his whole diet. So disgusting, I walked in to his room the other week where I saw about 10 McDonald's bags, KFC boxes and Wendy's cups all scattered through the room. Safe to say I got the **** out of there pretty quick.

Personally I work at a pub so I get dinner made for me about 4 nights a week, usually get either pasta, curry, pizza or nasi goreng. The other 3 nights I like to cook. Have had maccas maybe 3 times this year so far. If I get take away it's usually Indian or pizza maybe once a month.

Got a crust pizza on the way as my Sunday junk. Just made up all my dinners for the week beforehand so I don't feel too bad about it.

What's a cheesie?

Had Subway in Melbourne once. Never again. (That said the HJ and Maccas in the city are apparently equally as rank).

Local Subway chops their own lettuce, tomato, beetroot, grate carrots, etc - if you go in at non-peak times you can usually see someone in the prep area cutting. I don't know how often they do it (might do 2-3 days in each go, but their "vacuum packs" are emergency only.

Same thing with KFC, they carry a "reserve" of frozen chickens which are only used when fresh stock is exhausted. They rotate this out every week, so usually Fri/Sat night are thawed chickens.

Perhaps the benefits of sourcing products locally, small-town with no competition situation.

On topic, at least once a week we get Indian/Thai probably once a month something 'bad'.

I often wonder about food court sushi

It's a tough smell to describe. I can't think of anything accurate. Bready goodness is as close as I can get .

a cheesie would be a cheeseburger cg

6 inch chicken wrap, no sauce, Pickles/Jalepenos/lettuce/carrot/pepper and cheese isnt too bad, Its infact one of the better "Take out" places

Foot-long meatball sub. You might as well go to Hungry jacks and get the Whopper meal.

Footlong meatball sub is still better than a Maccas/HJs meal.

IMO it's a lot more common to go into Subway and buy a sandwich only than it is to go into Maccas/HJs and just get a burger. I know I very rarely walk out of Subway with cookies and a drink etc. because the sandwich is enough. Society is conditioned towards 'meals', and half the time there is more sugar/salt/fat/sugar/calorific content in the chips and Coke than there is in the burger/wrap/chicken leg etc. that it accompanies.

I also think people get a bit carried away with how healthy Subway is because of the '6 grams of fat' thing. A 6 inch grain roll with meat and salad is a fairly healthy lunch but then people think 'whatever I get here is healthy' and get a 12 inch white roll with double cheese, extra bacon, heaps of sauce etc.

Fat is not bad for you. You'd be better off eating the meat, cheese filling without the bun. The bread is the problem not saturated fat.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Low caloric content doesn't mean health food.

It's not the amount of food making people sick.

It's what's in the food. Processed sugar, refined grains/starches and rancid vegetable oils.

 

[BALKAN]

Subway has to be the least satisfying fast food out there. Every combo of sandwich I've tried has just been boring and bland. Never again.

Are you a dietician/nutritionist?

 

[Papa Juggs]

Should everybody post a disclaimer?

Couldn't be as bad as the David Wolfe ones.

Are you a dietician/nutritionist?

No i just do alot of research on diet and nutrition. I've looked into studying nutrition and wouldn't bother because what is taught in those courses is out of date bullshit. It would be a case of getting uneducated on nutrition which i wouldn't waste my time doing.

 

[FreoGirl]

I love cooking so we rarely get take away. Sometimes on weekends we might get Nandos for lunch, or some crap at the footy.

No you couldn't and if you tried you would die.
