It's not just fast food restaurants. Ever wonder why the food you make in the kitchen never stands up to (insert your favorite restaurant here)'s food even though you are using the same ingredients as them?
Sure, they have more experience in cooking and you don't have access to the recipe, but you bet there is a whole assortment of salt, butter, sugar, other fats (vegetables may be "sauteed" in bacon grease or duck fat) or MSG.
Interestingly, the fast food industry has to publish nutritional information where "small business" restaurants are not held to this standard.
- miguelrochefort 9y agoI don't know about others, but I put a lot of salt, butter, animal fats and MSG in the food I cook. I don't think any of these ingredients are unhealthy (other than sugar, which I don't use).
- darioush 9y agoThey aren't inherently unhealthy. I wager restaurant personnel are more liberal with them than if they were deeply concerned with the health of the person eating the meal, eg. their children.
