Looking at that spread, the Lays have a bit too much fat (and salt) and the Corn Flakes have too much sugar. But they are not as bad as the rest. The rest are over-processed and not good for the body.

 

I have not looked at Corn Flakes ingredients in some years, still have a handful of Lays occasionally with a home-made burger if I don't feel like making real fries.

 

But if a food has more than a handful of ingredients, or if it has colors or unspecified flavors ("natural" is any of thousands of unspecified flavors), then with very few exceptions, I don't eat it. This decision does drive my food bill up quite a bit, modern chemically constituted food is a lot cheaper than eating from a pre-WW2 menu.

When they passed the "Assault Weapon" ban in CT after Sandy Hook, people with belt fed weapons had to register their links.  IIRC they put the links in buckets and and X number links equaled one pound.

I'm assuming that the burger is real meat.

 

The In n Out Double Double:

 

OK,  really high in Na, but the rest isn't too outrageous. 

 

The other stuff,  yeah if that's your total diet it's not good for you.   But in moderate amounts and as a treat,  heck, even an occasional binge, it won't be an issue for most people.   

 

The key is moderation. 

 

A few years ago on a FB food group someone posted the receipt for a garlic and butter shrimp dish.  Salient points were 4 pounds of shrimp and a pound of butter.   Made 32 servings.   People were ranting about OMYGAWDSOMUCHBUTTER!!!!! As if every serving had a pound of butter in it.

In 'n Out is one of the cleanest establishments. Or at least was. I hope they can maintain quality and simplicity with the expansion.

 

The meme shows McDonald fries so I assumed the same source for the "sandwich."

 

And it is not just the summary, it is the ingredients which go into the product. I once took a couple hours to figure out what was in McDonalds french fries. The naive person would stop at them being potatoes, oil, and salt. But it is not that simple. potatoes, oil, and salt each hand ingredients.

 

You would think salt is just sodium chloride, but potassium chloride is a salt. don't forget salt of glutamic acid. Another salt.

 

And the oil has ingredients. More than one.

 

The potatoes? They are a designer food. The outer crust is not the same as the inner core, and they are absolutely and forever removed from being simply sliced, rinsed, fried, and salted.

 

One of the challenges facing In 'n Out is to have every product be the same at every location; I do not think it can. I would rather they put a sign saying meals have local variations in flavor than try to go the traditional fast-food route so a meal tastes the same in Albuquerque and Osaka. I would rather they just slice a potato, rinse it in just water, fry it in just oil, and salt it with just what we all know as table salt.

 

Other than that, I agree an occasional "transgression" into the realm of shear culinary pleasure will not hurt most folks. I have a certain sensitivity so I am stuck eating far less often at very good restaurants where the number of ingredients can be counted on a single hand, or cooking at home.

 

Mostly I do cook at home. But when on the road in the west, I did enjoy grabbing some fries at In 'n Out to go with my cold-cut sandwich on simple bread, with crisp lettuce not soaked to make it crisp, tomato as a fresh slice, and maybe the rare pickle without chemical crap in it.

Three of those people won Nobel Prizes having nothing to do with weather or climate so where do you get the idea that's what they're experts on? Arrhenius said more CO2 will provide "more equable and better climates" and "more abundant crops" for Scandinavia, I guess that means he thought it was gonna get warmer there. He also thought it would take 3000 years.

They are all intelligent people who believe man made climate change is a scam . Not settled science like some people preach.
