I used to like the whole grain saltine crackers, until they reduced the salt. Now they are so... blaaaa....
lol nutritious
lol bleached flour, high fructose corn syrup, Azodicarbonamide, artificial color
No thanks
On a scale of base nutrients, yes, the case can be made.
All that other ...yeah. Not good.
I agree.
I'm OK with the artificial coloring, but not the HFCS. I will consume small amounts it on occasion, but never on a daily basis. I intentionally had a large dose the other day. I was feeling run down, realized I had very little in my diet in the last few days as sugars. I drank a 16 oz soda for the first time in maybe 3 years, just for the HFCS, because it goes strain into the bloodstream from the stomach.
It did the trick.
It is based on a faulty definition of food. Just because you can masticate something and swallow it without immediately falling over dead does not make it food. The stuff from McD is just suicide on an installment plan.
ing BigFood, they'll do ANYTHING for profits
Some Toddler Foods Come With A Megadose Of Salt
Feeding toddlers can be a challenge, so it's easy to see the lure of prepackaged favorites like mac and cheese. But many of those foods deliver startlingly high amounts of sodium, some with three times more than recommended in a single serving, according to a new survey.
The offenders include not just savory snacks but also healthful-sounding foods like pasta and chicken, according to Joyce Maalouf, a fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It was surprising to see that more than 70 percent of the foods had more than 210 milligrams of sodium," she told The Salt. She surveyed more than 1,000 products. Some of the toddler meals had as much as 630 milligrams of sodium per serving — almost half of the 1,500-milligram daily ceiling set by the American Heart Association.

"1,500-milligram daily" is of course max for ADULTS of 100+ pounds, not for a toddler.
heavily salted food jades the palate, so it demands the same saltiness from everything, esp everything like the heavily food-like substances from BigFood. iow, lots of salt, mixed in with sugar and grease, is a marketing tool to addict you to their garbage. The overweight, obesity epidemic concentrated in the last 35 years is due to ty BigFood "stuff you put in your mouth", not lack of exercise.
As well as too much salt, the BigFood salt it HIGHLY purified, nothing but NaCl (and some non-caking chemcals).
A "healthy" salt is unpurified sea salt and Himalayan rock salt, which contain NaCl plus minerals like Magnesium (of which there is a widespread deficiency), potassium, boron, etc

Uhhhhhhh Bon-Jour
We don't eat the seeds, so you can just compare crops. It's like saying everyone has a PHD because we all have the ability to do so.
tell that to the person who doesn't have much money. no food at all or mcdonalds as an alternative....
I agree that real food is more expensive than poisoning yourself.
It's apples and oranges (no pun intended). You have to grow the cow and the veggies for McD's as well. You cannot just magically have them. Since there exists a system of doing these things, sure the end product appears readily available, but then no more so than other foods.
I would be willing to bet that no one here buys more food from McD's than from a grocery store. The volume per capita is important. If the volume per capita of groceries is greater than volume per capita of McD's, groceries wins.
Poverty is one of the great causes of overweight and obesity. Corporate fast "food" garbage, junk food, snacks, and nearly all "legit" packaged foods are cheap per calorie (high calorie density, but still enough profit for the corporations to pull in $Ts. So rather than create a humane, rather than Darwinian/Randian, society with greatly reduced poverty and decent paying jobs for the lower 50%, America's taxpayers pay the $100Bs/year for the medical bills for the uninsured poor.
If you are eating at McD's to save on a food budget you are doing two things wrong.
ignorance of healthy eating is widespread, see the overweight/obesity epidemic at all income levels, AND discussion of "food" in the Club forum, but especially absent in the lower levels.
