Be that as it may, don't feed her that crap full of chemicals. Get her some nice roast beef from the deli counter.
I've never heard of it
Well, basically the best fastfood burger(s) on the planet...!
I'd rather spend $5 at 711 getting a bag a peanuts and a protein shake then eat processed meat with fried potatoes. Everyone states fast food is you know "fast" but you can get a way faster, healthier filling meal from a corner store. But I guess some people just need a explosion of flavor with every meal that they eat.

With all the freezers and microwaves, it's like paying someone to prepare a TV dinner.
I grew up near Taco Bell HQ so they were big in my formative years but along with cold cereal, I've been freshening my diet. Apple oatmeal from scratch in the morning and homemade soup for lunch. Then a good restaurant for dinner. Eat them far less often but the local bakery makes the best burgers with grass fed beef and buns from scratch.
If I need fast food, I usually go for someplace with beans in the recipe. This includes Chipotle and a local chain called Cafe Yumm. Yumm sauce is amazing and can be ordered from their website.
I've only heard of White Caste because of the Beastie Boys. But inNout has to be better.

Did you use the app to pre-order?
I'm not sure how good that would be for getting your fast food hot, especially if you taking it back home.

They don't make it until you get to the taco bell and check in on the app. Then, you go to a special line and don't have to wait with the suckers who didn't use the app. Can save precious minutes.
Chipotle isn't to bad till you see that most meals from there have about 1,500mg of sodium. Because you know that food needs to last an extra 5 hours sitting on the table waiting to made into a burrito.
Well i'd say 80% of the sodium is from the salsa and the wrap. Getting a burrito bowl with no salsa isn't to bad on the diet.
Good to know. Now they just have to be adequately staffed to pull this off. If you end up waiting in the normal line then ehh.
Thanks for the tip! Please let me know if you have similar Intel on noodles & company. Had to cold turkey them when I saw the numbers. Just a shame.
Well any kind of soup is going to be loaded with salt it's just a given.

It's almost like these food company's think they can't sell food unless it's sweet and salty.
Well, you're correct that the tortilla and their salsas do have quite a lot of sodium, but so do most of their fillings. Just keep in mind that even a relatively austere bowl at Chipotle can quickly push upwards of 1000mg. http://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nutrition_calculator.aspx
I just don't understand how chipotle markets them self as a healthy fast food place. You can see ads in the store about how all the food is local fresh and everything is cooked in the store. But then they load every damn thing they sell with salt for longer shelf life. If the food is "fresh" they why the hell does it need so much salt.
Hehe, they're allowed to market themselves as such, so they do. That's what they've identified as an appealing angle for their consumer base.
Never believe the advertising.
Other than Chic-fil-a (not listed) for breakfast on occasion, I haven't been to any of those restaurants since the first week in July when I went on vacation to SC. The only fast food-esque places I have been to are a bit healthier like Chipotle or something similar. Well, healthier if you make them that way.
Was glad to read that Subway took the yoga mat plastic out of their breads.

I don't know why everyone is so shocked. How else do people think they can sell full meals for around $6-7? You buy cheap food then complain when you find out it's not made from whole foods?
All it takes to make bread is water, flour, salt and yeast. You can do that quite economically. Chemicals cost money.
Whole foods tend to have very short shelf life. Adding chemicals can add a few more days to bread and end up saving you more money since not as much bread is going stale. Then you got other stuff added to keep the color true, smelling good and ect.
For breakfast, I like those sandwiches they have at Sonic. Starbucks has some nice ones too and they might cost the same as something you can get at McDonald's, but are a lot bigger.
We buy our breakfast mostly at McDonald's though. They recently introduced steak filling this last year. It's greasy, even worse than a Big Mac, and I don't understand why they can't bring something like that into the afternoon menu. Their breakfast burritos aren't bad either. I mostly just get the hotcakes, sausage, eggs, biscuit, and hash brown though.
I know it's all bad, but my parents are too cheap to make proper food besides pasta, eggs, beans, and rice. And they don't even use proper rice anymore!
