McDonald's food

  There was a clicky in my Yahoo logged-in page which always gives the "pointless information of the day" thing.
  
  Today's was a "is McD's fish sandwich made of fish?"
  
  Well it is... but here's something people don't know... this:
  
  The caloric ratio of the sandwich is 46% fat, 39% carbs, and just 15% protein. In addition to the "foaming agent" dimethylpolysiloxane, several partially hydrogenated oils, which produce trans fat.
  
  Took me by surprise how much fat was in the "fish"... 46% fat!
  
  This made me wonder what the heck is in other stuff.. did a search and I got this:
  
  Chicken McNuggets - 54% fat
  Quarter Pounder - 45% fat
  Sausage McMuffin - 53% fat
  Cheese hamburger - 40% fat
  
  scary isn't it?
  
  So, remember... when you're chowing down on seemingly "healthier chicken nuggets", it's 54% fat you're eating

  they add a lot of crap in there to make sure the "fish" becomes a rectangle...
  
  just like they add a lot of the same crap into the "chicken" to make the "nuggets" bite-sized..

  fat content is ambiguous.
  
  maybe got good fat (like the oils in salmon's etc?) and bad fat, as do good and bad cholestrol?
