    Also not true.

    Another story circulated my email.
    Nobody appears to be sure what that pink slime is. Also the chicken isn't treated with amonnia. (sometimes beef is, but mechanically separted beef isn't used in food).
    Mechanically separated meat does exist. But the process involves grinding up the carcass.
    Importantly, its used to make things like sausages not chicken nuggets. McDonalds nuggets are made from breast meat. As are most frozen nuggets. They want that white colour.

    We heated up the food before giving it to the kids so I don't think that was it. By the time I was eating it though it was kinda cool alright.

    I think that was it. Heating up fast food never makes it taste the same, and kids are particularly food-critical. I think the general prognosis is that kids do like McD's. Probably a lot of it has to do with the toy association, but I also know that the only meat my young son will eat is chicken nuggets because of the mcD's visits.

    That's why ya don't get vinegar in McDonalds, it would dissolve the chips.

    I would've thought Calorie-wise at least that McDonalds wouldn't be half as bad as a "proper" chipper given the smaller portions and ludicrously skinny chips.

    A bag of chips from the chipper has way more calories than a Mcdonalds portion.
    Nothing to be with being skinny chips though. Purely down to weight.
    (I think rubadub has info for how heavy a bag of chips is - its a lot)

    Actually per gramme McDonalds might be worse, most surface area per unit mass for the oil to get in.

    I considered that. But its not a deciding factor. Weight is going to be a much higher contributor to total calories.

    If you were to comapre 100g vrs 100g, then yeah, I'd expect chunky to be better

    And who said they didn't?

    Try reading it again. We were talking about serving of McDonalds vrs a chipper serving. The portions are very different. So, any slight extra in calories is completely dwarfed by a portion at least 3 times the size.
