Some time ago in a famous sketch on healthy eating, the actor and comedian Natalino Balasso said that it made no sense to criticize those who ate at fast food if we are all slaves of the food industry.

And for example, we would not be able to tell the origin of most of the foods that we find on our plate every day.

It may be true, but especially in these times when street food is fashionable, perhaps it is better to know a few things about the foods that street vendors or fast foods usually serve us .

Especially if it’s former employees who tell us to be careful!
In fact, there are some foods to avoid especially in fast food.

Here are some dishes that are better not to eat, according to the site Nutritionally Wealthy.com, which in turn had taken the article from the Huffington Post. 

These are dishes or snacks that are found, and are consumed, even in Italy.

Obviously I’m not saying that for other foods or preparations the green light goes off, but that maybe you have never thought of these foods here.

FAST FOOD, THE FOODS TO AVOID

1. McCafè from McDonald’s.
   We know how chicken nuggets are made, that potatoes are not real potatoes, that they use artificial flavors, that even the fruit in sachets has added sugar, but no McDonald’s employee would ever order the coffee that comes out of the machine. McCafè. 

   According to those who work there, it is never cleaned, so the liquid seeps through centimeters of dirt.

2. Hot dogs and sandwiches served by street vendors.
   Here, too, the rules of hygiene often go to hell. 

   A boy who worked at the street vendors reports that the meat is days old.
   It is left in the open air for a whole day and stored in the fridge for even 4 days in a row.If you are a lover of sandwiches from the street vendor, check if the meat packages are sealed and new and how the food is stored in the trays.

3. Pop corn in the cinema.
   Popcorn in cinema machines isn’t always fresh.
   And the buttery flavor doesn’t come from butter, as many believe, but from diacetyl .
   Diacetyl is an additive on which there are many suspicions of toxicity.
   The same is also found in popcorn bags to be heated in the microwave.
   In the cinema, there is also the hygienic problem: the popcorn you buy is often from the day before, according to a former employee. And in terms of cleanliness, cinemas and theaters leave something to be desired. With the floor always full of crumbs, imagine insects.
4. McDonald’s chicken nuggets.
   According to a former employee, the customer should specify that they want “freshly made” chicken nuggets, otherwise they are pre-fried chicken nuggets that are kept in a hot machine.
   Food should be thrown away after 10 minutes.
   But all employees are used to restarting the timer , at least for some products.
   Then okay, you already know that nuggets are made with chicken scraps, I think.
   And perhaps other fried foods also undergo the same treatment.
5. The Starbucks secret menu.
   Starbucks is the reference chain for many people who go abroad, because in Italy it is only currently reopening its doors.
   In Starbucks cafes there is wi-fi, there are sofas, everyone likes them.
   Some special recipes, often themed, are called “Secret Menu”.
   That is, those milkshake recipes and other personalized drinks.
   Their tastes refer to TV series, successful films, or to particular products, for example the frappuccino at Smarties.
   Too bad that, since these recipes are not on the menu, the bartenders never remember the ingredients and put them at random, increasing the share of sugar, cream and syrups.
6. The donuts in the bars, in short, the donuts .
   Now you can find the famous donuts in many bars, known to us as Homer Simpson’s donuts.
   Have you ever wondered how they always look perfect?
   The donuts are frozen already fried, and simply reheated.
   So when you order them you are eating something fried who knows how long ago, in a factory, and who knows with what oil.
   And which is then refrozen if unsold .
