I have noticed the difference also Pizza Hut I believe used t use different oils in cooking the flavor has kinda gone down hill since the 80's.  McDonald's I know has changed the ingredients around to make it more healthful and have succeeded in killing the taste and failed at the healthful bit as well. One of the things they changed was a switch to all vegetable oil away from anything with any animal fats

I believe McDonald's used to fry their fries in beef lard, which gave them that special taste we loved!  :emosad:

I don't care if food  is unhealthy so long as it tastes nice. We shouldn't all have to suffer just because americans are fat  :dunno:

Junk food is pretty harmless as long as you have a good metabolism.

You're absolutely right! Just keep eating the tasty fatty food! Surely you  won't get fat...  :flame:

:plus: for finding that video Eclair. Leo's analysis is excellent. I like how, after he specifies 1986 and 2010, that McD's reassures him that in the last 10 years there has been no change in size or composition.

I have noticed whatever you buy out and about, sandwhich, burger etc it seems more and more common to fill it up with healthy salad stuff.  Now i don't mind a bit of rabbit food, and yeah fancy shaped lettuce leaves can be aesthetically pleasing,  but they just put less and less filling and more and more foliage!!!

C'mon, who are they kidding...
blah blah blah

i just talked about that w my only irl aspie friend :D
like frozen pizzas ALWAYS cheap out on the topping, no matter the brand, they always cheap out!
there are some brands that cost more, theyre more poshy or whatever, but even there they cheap out...

we were celebrating this one spinach pizza, that had piles of spinach on it :D otherwise, you even pay MORE, and get just as little content as w the cheap brands.

theres a sandwich chain here, where they offer to give you extra filling for 10 krones more, and naaaturally, EVEN THEN, they just fuck you over, like its the most natural thing in the world, and really cheap out on you :S

Sonic still has styrofoam cups and they have a different kind of ice in their drinks; it's good. Haven't noticed pizza to change much and like it just the same.

I always buy Dr Oetker frozen pizza. They are always crispy and delicious.
