chick fila

Post by musculArgirl2 »

what do you think of chick fila boss?

i don't like chicken that much but i love theirs. we just started eating it and have been eating it all week. It's not organic or free range. But it has no hormones, or fillers..

Looking at just one of their products made me feel a bit funny.

There are a lot of preservatives and additives in it and it took me less than five minutes to find some slightly unsettling information about a couple of them, which are listed in the ingredients for the spicy chicken sandwich.

This one isn't well spoken about.

This ingredient is used ot make caulk, silly putty and heat resistent tiles amongst others.

This one is found in creams and moisturisers

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylates

Plus it's till deep frying food, which is probably almost certainly not the best way to cook anything and the food is very salty as well, which may be a tactic to get people buying drinks, as that and another similar product with cheese in it, had around 1.5g salt per portion, a tactic known to have been used by some theme parks in the past and potentially still practiced, to over salt food thereby encouraging more urgency for drinks.

The salad cup contained this product as well, which is known to be toxic.

Polysorbhate 80

In terms of calories and saturates not horrendous, but I'd just avoid it, as it's a lot of fried food, overly salty and has some quite dubious additives in it.

I will admit their sandwiches taste good, but I don't eat them very often. wife tried eating a grilled chicken salad from ChickFila but it was so salty she threw it out.

On another note, their cookies and creme milkshakes are to die for :oops:
