I've done articles in the past that dealt with Fast Food Chains and their rare acceptable meals, it's true, it's very rare but they do exist and from time to time they are acceptable to eat.. So I've decided once more to do an article of the very same theme that will give you ideas when the chips are down and you have no choice but to eat at a Fast Food Chain, what do you eat?
The healthier alternatives.
I know.. Healthier alternatives at Fast Food Chains?
But they do exist and in spite of how rare they are as mentioned I'm going to go over the best and most surprisingly healthy offerings so you can hopefully make the right choice in the future and not wreck your arteries!
Better Fast Food Choices, part one!
Arby's Super Roast Beef:
On a menu that consists of alleged food-stuffs that often sound like a mad scientists diabolical list of concoctions Arby's is a notably unhealthy Fast Food Chain but still is probably healthier than say.. Mackers or Hungry Jack's unless you do what people commonly do and go over board on deep fried french fries and shit like 'desserts' there exists this sandwich, the 'Super Roast Beef Sandwich' and in the world of Fast Food items, this is a pretty decent one.
Stats?
440 Calories
20 g Fat, 6 g Saturated Fat, 1 g Trans Fat
It's true that I hate anything carrying even remote traces of Trans Fat but it's actually more acceptable than most Fast Food offerings so in this case when the chips are down you're probably pretty safe skimming by with a Super Roast Beef Sandwich.
Just avoid the deep fried artery busting fries and substitute for something more healthy like maybe a plain salad or something. And for goodness' sake don't swim the damn thing in dressing, that would bust you worse than most damn burgers!
Mackers McDouble:
Mackers actually made the list, wow! And while the actual burger looks nothing like the featured image, of course the featured image their special 'froofed up' marketing image which is designed to be pretty and appetizing while being completely unrealistic it's still pretty good and honestly it's not that bad for you which feels really weird saying anything like that about anything from fucking Mackers.
I've never understood Mackers trying to be 'healthy', when they try to be healthy they usually fail as is the case with the above offering because they simply don't seem to understand what makes their offerings unhealthy.. Which is kind of disturbing because you'd think it'd be fairly obvious. Are they doing this out of honest accident and ignorance or are they just trolling us?
Really kind of hard to say, isn't it?
..At any rate onto the stats of this offering and surprisingly they're not as abominable as you may expect..
390 Calories
19 g Fat, 8 g Saturated Fat,1 g Trans Fat
Why must all these have Trans Fat? Just do without it, damn it! Bastards.
Jack in the Box Grilled Chicken Strips:
Yes even in the world of Fast Food Chains you can usually rely on Grilled Chicken, usually though there are some exceptions.
KFC for instance who manages to completely bastardize this otherwise healthy option and the scary thing? The grill marks are fake, they're synthetic... Yeah you heard me right, FAKE. Even the smell is a specially designed concoction that is meant to smell freshly grilled when reheated, ew.. Gross.. But that's Fast Food, that's why it's gross.
In the case of Jack in the Box this is however a healthier option and is the four-strip meal which stacks in with stats as follows..
255 Calories
6 g Fat, 1 g Saturated Fat
IT'S A GODDAMN MIRACLE! A FAST FOOD ITEM ON THE LIST THAT DOESN'T HAVE FUCKING TRANS FAT! Thank you, Jack in the Box! Thank you so very much for offering something that doesn't have that unnecessary additive of unhealthy and pointless excess, it's nice to see a change.
This is probably the healthiest option on the list and if the chips are down and you have no choice I'd probably suggest eating this above all else.. It has the added bonus of being meat which will be quite heavy and filling for.. Well.. Anyone really!
And yet even with this rare praise..
YOU SICK FREAK SHOW MOTHERFUCKING BASTARDS!!!!!!!!
Dinner:
Eh.. And as I make this post I'm feeling kind of ragged and torn at this point because of some bad luck so excuse my usual enthusiasm having waned.. Dinner tonight was a simple Omu Sando (Omelet Sandwich) which is comprised of Japanese seasoned Eggs, Mushroom and Beef with a side of a Blueberry Anpan (Sweet Roll) and a simple Baked Potato.
Seemed to be enjoyed..
Meh.. Bad fucking day all together.. Fuck everything tonight..

Regarding that McDonald's grill slip...yes people actually do dumb shit like that(when I worked there, shit like that would piss me off to no end). And the funny thing is, is that they don't realize their error. And where I live, people like to call hamburgers and cheeseburgers, hamburgs and cheeseburgs. And this isn't just kids looking to be hip, it's all the dumb fucks in my county. I consider our Wal-Mart to be our local mall, because you can't go in there without seeing someone you know.
