I worked at Wendy’s back in my post high school years and I LOVED the food. I knew it was made well and that the chili was just yesterdays over cooked meat mashed up and given spices.
I would eat 2 jr bacons every day if I knew it wouldn’t make me die at 40.... Mmmmmmm Bacon.
I worked at the 1 I mentioned above, too. My 1st job at 17 way back, still in school. Only lasted 2 months - hated how they always changed schedules and didn’t seem to consider much that you’re in school; moved to a brand-new theater instead. Also learned it’s not too fun working with food! But generally I had no real problems with what they did there.
We all know what the Chili is, but I love it.
NOBODY else does that.
Natural fats such as pork fat are less harmful to your health than the chemically modified fats (hydrogenated, interesterified, etc.) that have been a staple of processed foods and shortenings for decades. As long as it does not add so much to your daily caloric intake that you begin to gain unwanted weight, go ahead and enjoy the bacon sans guilt.
