What You Are Really Eating

I have worked at McDonalds, Subway, and Quiznos and I have friends who have worked at Starbucks and Tim Hortons and there are some things about these places you might not know about! I thought I would tell you some of the ones I can think of now and maybe more later as I think of them!

McDonald's

The pancakes are frozen and then warmed, not made from scratch
The fryer oil is actually lard
They put a ridiculous amount of gross drippy butter (which is not even actually butter) on your egg mcmuffin ... Try it without butter for a healthy alternative!
There are a million things wrong with McDonald's... I just avoid it all together!

Tim Hortons

The stuff at the bottom of the hot chocolate is salt. They salt it to give it more flavour, but it is so unhealthy! Grab a chocolate milk instead.

While we are on the topic of chocolate milk, when buying chocolate milk make sure it doesn't say beverage underneath. Read the ingredients. Home companies like Beatrice have real chocolate milk and fake chocolate milk that looks exactly like the real milk carton only it says beverage. It's cheaper for them to make and also is very unhealthy!

Stay away from nestlea products, they are a horrible company! From treating their employees badly to torturing animals, to using poor quality ingredients! And they don't even taste that good!

Places that use frozen eggs for their breakfast sandwiches instead of fresh:

Tim Hortons
Starbucks
Subway

these are filled with preservatives!

Did you know that if you are craving a Starbucks but can't find one, Subway has the same exact coffee!

Quiznos:

The bread is frozen and they just thaw it!

I hope this was helpful!

Until next time,
