People that can't say sorry.
Actually McDonalds have led the way for information about their products..
On the back of the paper on their trays there is ever fact about the contents of carbs, cals, fat etc....
I rarely have them, but whilst having loads of work done in our house, I had a few of them... Accidentally turned over the sheet on the tray and blimey!!
For the first time ever, for any takeaway, fast food I had the best results ever!! I could multiwave on my pump exactly for the qty of carbs and fat!! The results were so good ... It actually beat my homecooking for accuracy!!!
The facts on the fat content allowed me to multi wave bolus so well.
Back to home cooking now, but when we have and go to bbq 's for neighbours etc during the summer (when we get one!!). I will use the info from McDonalds for a guide if I have any burgers or chicken wraps.
Wish there was an Indian or Chinese takeaway that did the same effort as McDonalds have done.

This is awful, it's the 'jokes' like this that circle the Internet are why so many people are misinformed about diabetes. It's such an ignorant 'joke'

McDonald's buns when delivered and then sometimes thawed have a stale consistency.
This is then solved when they are toasted in a flat metal compress hotplate or in the case of filet o fish: steamed.
Why do they caramelize so well when toasted?
Because their buns deliberately contain Excess sugar to both preserve it before cooking and then so it looks appetizing when toasted with the caramelization colour.
Big mac buns in particular.
I worked for them for 8 years.
Yes they've improved but where i can't forgive them is they only truly tell you what they think you want to hear.
Have you noticed they're all being refitted to look more like a coffee shop.
Waste is their problem, they got rid of the burger foam packaging, introduced cardboard and don't recycle a tap.
That's ALOT of landfill.
I still treat the kids to a 20 nugget sharebox but anything else from there and my sugar touches Jupiter.
And as they used to say on blind date:
The decision, is yours
