Some of the descriptions of the food with stories are pretty funny.
> A German landlord evicted a tenant without notice after he opened a can of surströmming in the apartment building’s stairwell. When the landlord was taken to court, the court ruled that the termination was justified when the landlord’s attorney demonstrated their case by opening a can inside the courtroom.
The host was furloughed by the Disney Channel during COVID, so used his time to focus on his side project. An example of COVID's creative destruction.
If we don't see a decade of economic downturn, in 1-2 decades McDonald's may turn into something decently healthy/acceptable, once again in the sense of still being fast food.
We could however see the dystopia of McDonald's only accepting fixed amount of meme doge tokens that go on to hyperinflate, and we'll all be able to shake our fists about how we were promised flying cars but got DogeDonalds
"Mesteparten av råvarene våre stammer fra norske bønder.
Vi bruker for eksempel kun 100% norsk storfekjøtt, kun norske økologiske egg og norske poteter – og når sesongen tillater det, bruker vi norsk salat, tomat og løk. Vi vet at kundene våre ønsker norske råvarer, og derfor er vi helt og holdent avhengige av norske bønder. Ingen bonde – ingen burger. Kanskje er det din nabobonde som har levert råvarene til akkurat ditt McDonald's-måltid?"
Translated by Google because I am too lazy to type my own translation:
"Most of our raw materials come from Norwegian farmers.
For example, we use only 100% Norwegian beef, only Norwegian organic eggs and Norwegian potatoes - and when the season allows, we use Norwegian salad, tomato and onion. We know that our customers want Norwegian raw materials, and therefore we are completely dependent on Norwegian farmers. No farmer - no burger. Maybe it's your neighbor's farmer who delivered the ingredients for your McDonald's meal?"
Industrial white bread processes do tend to involve very high speed/power mixing that incorporates more air and leads to a smaller crumb structure than traditional bread, but it's certainly not squirted out as a foam.
This guy thinks the Big Mac should cost $200
It's remarkable indeed. However, this can be the case only because we don't pay for externalities (including high emissions of CO2, barbaric exploitation of animals). This model isn't sustainable.
I'm literally starving myself atm eating just meat, potatoes, pasta and baked beans as that seems the only food which is still sold at reasonable prices without any added fat.
The hamburger seems pretty healthy to be honest. The unhealthy part is people stacking up to 5-6000 kcal per day from various unsuspecting sources, then comically blaming it on sugar and fast-food...
The other day I wanted to buy some biscuits: 24% fat. Before that I bought (first and last time) some hotdogs, while they're processed normally they're still healthy, not the ones in this country though.. 3 minutes after dropping two of them on a frying pan, I find them floating in a 1.5cm of grease that just started melting from them. Where I come from, I'd have to add some 10-15ml of sunflower oil so that my hotdogs don't stick to the pan...
Fast-food is really healthy compared to what normal people can buy in any mainstream supermarket, worst part is big name brands will usually have the most fat and sugar packed into their foods.
The real issue is sugar. The body uses or passes most fat. Sugar historically was hard to come by so the body stores it. I recently moved to the Midwest and am shocked at the addition of sugar to everything. And at the size of people.
