Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 When I go to the fast food places, Burger King, to be exact, I order a double Whopper in a bowl. I also order a drink and can get the drink I prefer....if I go inside. What with my husband needing to go to the hospital, on the other side of the state, we have to stop at fast foods now and again. You can order whatever toppings you wish, to go on the burger. I usually get the lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard. Sometimes others are there but not often. You can have-it-your-way because it is you that pays. I tell them I have food allergies so they know that others have problems too. I am allergic to wheat or grains at this point in my life. They destroy my innards. I just had a couple of days of camping at the women's retreat. I sure was energetic for being the elder of the group. I caught a large mouth bass and it jumped out of the bucket and back into the lake. That is a fish story that is true. I have a sunburn on my face and my pretty china container of coconut oil sure helps my red face. I feel no pain this morning. Happy burgering, Mz Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I don't eat fast food, but I sure do wonder what they put in those patties. So I looked it up for the Whopper: WHOPPER® PATTIES & HAMBURGER PATTIES: Beef (100% USDA inspected Ground Beef), Encapsulated Salt (Salt, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil), Flavorings, Beef Fat, Beef Stock, Dextrose. Not too bad, but that dextrose is definitely a sugar. --- nowski Hawthorne, Florida sumar@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just wrong!! It ticks me off that I can't even buy a hamburger while out! I have taken to getting my " fast food " from stopping at the grocery store. Otherwise I try to always have something packed just in case. Even if it is just a can of herring or sardines. How sad Kara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi . Yes and here's the other ingredients that are bad: 1. Encapsulated salt which is regular table salt plus trans-fats (hyrogenated vegetable oil, possibly soy, canola, safflower or others. 2. Flavorings which hides the additives that are neurotoxins such as MSG-like chemicals. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the patties were *just* 100% ground beef, without all the added garbage. Thanks for the heads up! Cathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Burger King website http://www.bk.com/#menu=3,3,-1 the ingredients for their Beef Patties are 100% Ground Beef; however, their Steakhouse Angus Patty contains Beef, Encapsulated Salt (Salt, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil), Flavorings, Beef Fat, Beef Stock, Dextrose. So as long as we make sure we order the Beef Patties instead of the Steakhouse Angus Patty we should be safe from those other toxic ingredients. Also, 's website says their Single patties contain ground beef seasoned with salt. I haven't found the ingredients for Sonic patties yet. I'll keep searching until I know my best options when I'm out and about! Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
