McRib is back! ALL STORES!!!

[AMDZen]

One typo.

I humbly appologize ...

I pointed out two, not the other 15. Don't "appologize" just "evit" stage left, douche.

You ever walk outside? Count how many fat kids there are and then count how many Michael Phelps there are.

So I guess fat kids are about 1 in 6.

I have never seen a kid that fat at that young of an age - and I have seen Michael Phelps so yea - take that.

McDonald’s Happy Meal resists decomposition for six months

"I told my friend about a schoolteacher who's kept a McDonald's burger for 12 years that hasn't changed at all, and he didn't believe me when I told him about it," Davies told us. "He thought I was crazy and said I shouldn't believe everything that I read, so I decided to try it myself."

The results? "The only change that I can see is that it has become hard as a rock," Davies told the U.K. Daily Mail.

She proceeded to photograph the Happy Meal each week and posted the pictures to Flickr to record the results of her experiment. Now, just over six months later, the Happy Meal has yet to even grow mold. She told the Daily Mail that "the food is plastic to the touch and has an acrylic sheen to it."

People aren't obese because of McDonalds, they're obese because they don't burn the calories. You call me the village idiot but said nothing about the PROOF I provided that you can eat a diet that's 12k of calories which 75%+ is fat and still not put on weight. McDonalds IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Answer me this, if you were to advise Phelps on what to eat, how do you propose he gets the 12,000 calories a day he needs to maintain his weight?

As was posted earlier:

McRib Nutritional Info:
490 calories, 220 calories from fat, 25 g fat, 8 g saturated fat, 75 mg cholesterol, 1040 mb sodium, 44 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 24 g protein, 11 g sugars.



For an athlete I would only be concerned about the following nutritional data:

8 grams saturated fat
75 mg cholesterol
1040 mg sodium


As an athlete you are going to burn a lot of calories ... but, the data above is bad for ANY person, not just Phelps. These sandwiches contain a lot of bad in a small package. Saturated fat causes cardiovascular problems no matter if you are an athlete or not as does cholesterol and sodium. Look at it this way, this small sandwich has:

- 40% of your recommended saturated fat
- 25% of your recommended cholesterol
- 43% of recommended sodium

... in just one small sandwich.


I don't understand why you are so transfixed on Michael Phelps but he cannot be considered even a regular athlete, he is at the top of his sport.

Total and complete lulz.

It's not necessarily about burning the calories - it's about controlling hunger.

This, exactly this! Calories in < calories out still applies, but it takes an iron will to say no to food when you're hungry and your body is doing everything it can to get you to eat more. My guess is most people who eat fast food never even think about that, they just eat something because they're hungry and it tastes good, and when they are hungry again in two hours despite having eaten 700 calories, they just eat another 700 calories. Even if you're trying your hardest to watch what you eat, you can't effectively go against nature. Not for very long.

After reading the thread about what McNuggets are made of a while ago, I wonder what exactly is McRib made off?

good god this sandwich is horrible. the only thing i can stand from mcd's is the ebi burger.

It lists the ingredients as. It's real pork. Don't believe the bullshit out there being spawned by the anti-good eats people about HFCS and McDonalds. Those kinds of people you have to be wary off because their full of shit and believe everything they read on the intarweb. Many times they'll even link to conspiracy videos on youtube as "proof". They're worse that truthers.

Pork, water, salt, dextrose, BHA and BHT and propyl gallate and citric acid (preservatives).

Mmmmmmm .... McRib .... that gives me more than enough reason to enjoy lunch at McDonalds a few times in Nov

Ohh Shit ... I agree with Spidey yet again!!!!

 

[KevinH]

Got me all excited man. I was ready to head out there right now for lunch.

 

[Jaepheth]

The real reason these keep coming and going is that it takes time to raise enough genetically modified pigs that have meat instead of ribs to do a production run.

You fail at life, here's a run down of an athlete's diet, he's one you've probably heard of.


Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.


The name Micheal Phelps ring a bell? But I suppose you think a McRib is worse than his diet right? I got some news for you, a serious athlete isn't going to be able to make it eating veggies & fruits and "healthy" foods alone.

Michael Phelps is not eating 12,000 calories worth of Mcdonalds ffs, if he did there is no way he would be a world class swimmer

 

[krylon]

What a load of crap. This is wrong in so many ways. Yeah, go sit outside a McDonald's and watch all the athletes going in to eat a "terrifically balanced meal".

Using "terrifically balanced meal" and McDonalds in the same sentence automatically brands you a moron, a legend in your own mind.

You are a fool in more than one way, sir.

You can pretty much die from anything these days.

California now mandates Prop 65 warnings ("Warning! This product is known to the State of California to cause cancer!") on browned potatoes (french fries, chips, skillet potatoes, etc) and balsamic vinegar.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

Wrong. 100 calories isn't 100 calories, the source of the calories is important as far as what your body does with those 100 calories.
