Dispatches: Sandwiches Unwrapped
Corey Richardson
All it proved was that a footlong Meatball Marinara from Subway contains
as much salt as 9 pkts of crisps. It's a footlong FFS! and tastier than
9 pkts of crisps too.
One surprising thing though was that you could eat two, double, cheese
burgers from McDonalds and still consume less fat than a popular
sandwich from Marks & Spencer.
The food hygiene part showed the appalling standards under which some
sandwiches are made - I'd rather have a Subway/McDonalds/BK etc. than
some supposedly "healthy" sandwich contaminated with fecal matter!

On Saturday, someone gave me a table of nutritional values from
McDonalds. I wish I had kept it, but I recall that the calorie
content of a "healthy" Deli Sandwich was actually higher than that of
a Big Mac.

I was looking at a website for deli sandwiches earlier (Jimmy John's) and
one of their signature sandwiches has 1008 calories, 54.6 g of fat, 3782.9
mg of sodium, and 59.53 g of carbs. I think that's got a Big Mac beat all
to hell.

I recall reading that, if you use all the McDonalds salad dressing
provided, a McDonald's salad has more calories *and* fat than a Big
Mac. This dated from when McDonalds introduced salads as a "healthy
option", which was several years ago. It may have changed since.

That has double the fat of a Big Mac, and over three times the
calories. :-(

If you think you are overweight.....you are. If you don't think
you are overweight.....you are. Was that simple enough?

This makes it pretty simple.
Of course, it is a complex subject so there are exceptions.

Geography?

They're located all over the U.S. If you're in the U.K., I think you're out
of luck.

But Big Mac's are only have the size of Jimmy John's....

WTF? That line makes no sense at all.
And Big Mac's aren't junk food, junk food reffers to food like chip's,
candy, pretzel's, assorted snacks, etc......

I think Australia now leads the world on obesity.
In Europe, the Greeks are now No.1, with the healthy Mediterranean
diet of fruit, vegetables and a little protein having been replaced by
a high calorie, high fat diet.
Bruce

Yes, that's what I was hinting at.

There is a tendency to ignore the fact that the name
of this newsgroup begins with "uk." ;-)

Australia is the highest in obesity? I'm going to have to look that up.
And Greece? Really!?! Is it because of all the phyllo-type dishes? I
thought Greeks mainstay diet included lots of seafood and veggies. I really
enjoy Greek food. On a salad, I love a good, light, Greek homemade dressing
of EVOO infused with dill, lemon, and a tad of vinegar. (Even though I
know, technically, a Greek salad doesn't contain lettuce.)

kilikini
Yeah, but it's cross-posted, so we're not all aware (unless we check
headers, which I rarely do) from where you're posting. :~)
Believe it or not, I just read an article that said, the U.K. leads the
world in being lovers of fast-food at 45%, closely followed by the U.S. at
44%. Canada comes in 3rd at 37%. Who knew?

James Silverton
Just for interest and I don't mean criticism, but does anyone not use
extra-virgin olive oil for home cooking? Certainly EVOO is not an
abbreviation that I need :-)

No. There's nothing better than chips fried in dripping.
I use olive oil try fry eggs though for some reason.

Probably in the sauce too.

What, TWICE? You have the word "they" in there THREE TIME'S, and only one
makes sence. Tell you what. Can you please re-word that sentence
altogether so everyone can read it.
