From now on, you'll never order McNuggets again

Fast food: fast, greasy, and packed with calories. Not a big deal every once in a while, because a greasy bite is allowed. Or should be. Especially when you're lying on the couch with a humongous hangover. But the next time you've had one too many and are feeling rough, you might as well throw a tray of nachos (like this one) in the oven or get some fries with mayo from the chip shop on the corner, as long as you stay away from the big yellow M. Because even that portion of Chicken McNuggets with sweet and sour sauce (that sauce is the key, by the way) that you thought was the healthiest choice is less reliable than you think. Sorry friend, if I ruined your day, but I just had to get this off my chest.

• That familiar cardboard box with nine Chicken McNuggets WITHOUT sauce equals 460 kcal. Four hundred sixty.
• Chicken McNuggets without sauce is like a hotdog without ketchup. That innocent little cup contains no less than 50 kcal. And you know that one cup is not enough. So you easily add a hundred extra.
• One nugget contains more than just chicken and breadcrumbs. The fried piece contains 40 different ingredients. FORTY.
• A meager 50% of that piece actually consists of chicken meat.
• What your windshield wiper has in common with your favorite snacks? They are both treated with the antifreeze agent polydimethylsiloxane. So.
• And there are still thirty unnecessary ingredients that come from everywhere except nature.
• A box of nuggets contains no less than 900 mg of sodium, which is equivalent to an XL bag of chips.
• After eating a portion, you can still have five more. Because filling up? Not a chance.

Dear McDonald's, please keep your French fries with the infamous fry sauce as innocent as we think they are. Then at least we can keep feeding our hangover at your place.
