I never order delivery if I'm by myself which is good because one of my local places can get me a pizza in like 20 minutes if it's not prime delivery hours

this burger joint had those loving """"" HaNd CuT friEs """ that they don't double fry, you know, the soggy garbage fries you get with a $17 PUB BURGER. then they put them in a sealed plastic container with the hot burger, which steamed them into a cold mashed potato mess by the time my order got to me 30 minutes late.

Yeah, rebranding as premium fast food was dumb. To my tastebuds a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger tastes exactly the same as it did in 1993 except now it costs 2.4 times as much

Neither has a calorific value. Salt is only bad for you if you've got heart problems. Preservatives aren't shown in any significant way to have bad health effects.

Calorically dense, low-nutrient foods are what get you. "All the preservaties and salt are bad for me!" is some real panera "clean food" mom poo poo.

Man poo poo was cheap in the 90s, you could get a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger, a biggie fries, and a biggie drink for $2.97. Now a basic cheeseburger is like half that

mostly agree except salt tastes good so people in general eat more food when it's heavily salted and then drink more to wash down the salt ie soda if they're eating junk food

Most salt/preservatives probably aren't (salt isn't if you don't have high blood pressure but that's probably like half of americans) but IIRC the one thing that might be is nitrites, although that's just stuff like bacon (including "uncured" bacon) rather than mcdonalds hamburgers.

Yeah, those aren't going to be exclusive to poor people fast food trash that's beneath Kayden and Jayden's notice, they'll be in everything including bespoke artisanal charcuterie. It's the cost of eating prepared meats in general.

yeah my take now is if i want to eat food like this, i'll make it at home and probably buy better stuff anyway

like yesterday i had a cooked-from-frozen steamed pork bun. it was pretty good and cost me like $.50.

i never asked for this
I order out like 4 times a week because being a parent is hard and time just like, disappears, and I’m extremely ok with eating cold slop just to get food in me. McDonald’s and Taco Bell might not be 100% trash but the things I order from there sure are

edit: and the beyond meat that I buy at the store is a nice alternative because my partner doesn’t eat beef and I’m often too lazy to make my special Turkey burgers (it’s Turkey and some soy sauce and random spices I like, not special at all)

I drink about a gallon of water a day and that offsets the sodium nicely, not much to say about the horrific shits tho

i use doordash for delivery of local indian food every several weeks or so, it isnt cheap but the food is fantastic and is great as leftovers for a few days

i called the place directly to ask whether there was another way for delivery from them which gave them more of a cut, they said "nope, just doorhub/grubdash/whatever, we're happy with those", so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, agreed. When the food industry managed to rebrand their industrial waste as 'vegetable oil' that was 'health healthy' and jammed it into every single food as it's cheaper than animal fats is when fast food (and a lot of restaurant & supermarket food) went to poo poo.
