Liquid Egg Product reviews the McDonald’s parfait
In recent years, McDonald’s has managed to pretend it offers a variety of healthy food options. I’m not sure how it is in other countries, but in the States I’m betting most people go to McDonald’s for a Whopper Big Mac with fries, not salads. Which still have a high not-healthy potential because of fatty salad dressing.
Yesterday for lunch, I got their yogurt parfait (to round out the experience, I also got a couple 79 cent hamburgers and fries. These were left partially uneaten.)
Here’s a close-up of the parfait. It’s reminiscent of this movie.
They are also kind enough to add this sad pack of granola.
Overall, the taste and appearance are adequate and it’s probably relatively healthy.
thank...
“relatively healthy” is a vague term for your parfait. http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-C00001-01c21dL.html

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA Allen, very astute. I didn’t even catch that. I’ve had the parfait before. it’s very expensive for what you get in my opinion. i used to love the fish sandwiches, back in my youthful days of wanton consumption and incredible metabolism.

The parfait was a good move for McDonalds. It may be the only source of fruit (the blueberry and strawberries) that the average McDonalds customer consumes that day.

After intensive research, it seems Allen is correct. McDonald’s does not sell Whoppers.
Brad: ND gave the Big Mac a 1.5, so it is relatively healthy compared to that.
Annie: Don’t worry about getting fat. Really.
