White castle = healthy?

[spidey07]

I mean it has to be the most healthy fast food joint out there.

They use smart meal tactics to control portion size. I guarantee their burgers have the lowest fat/cal of any fast food.

Has to be the most healthy fast food place there is.

mmmm.....sliders with hot sauce...mmmm.....chicken rings

Well, they clean your colon...they call them Sliders for a reason.

 

[meltdown75]

Exactly!!

An added healthy benefit. White castle has it all figured out, man.

mmm...whitey's...

 

[Twista]

not when you buy about 10 of them =) Same as mcdonalds i would guess

 

[spidey07]

I just checked!!!

They are indeed a most healthy fast food.

Their hamburger only has 140 calories and 7 grams of fat. Heck, silly vegtables have more than that!

Fast Food, burgers, and healthy shouldn't be in the same sentence.

You can't argue with the nutrition info though. They are VERY healthy.

all 4 food groups in a single tasty meal - meat, dairy, vegtable, grain.

Processed cheap meat loaded with antibiotics and hormones, processed cheap milk with the same, vegetables which are either a.) deep-fried or b.) have very little or no beneficial nutritional content like iceberg lettuce, and heavily refined wheat, all topped off with a large amount of refined sugar.

If that's your definition of "healthy," I shudder at what you think is "unhealthy" - a gallon of ice cream in one setting?

It may be comparatively "healthy" than the Hardees' burger, but that doesn't mean I would eat it.

All foods are evil in their own way.

I'm just thankful White Castle is able to provide a healthy meal at a reasonable price.

Actually that deep fried burger sounds simply wonderful. I may try to deep fry a whitey this weekend. That would just be the poo.

 

[nakedfrog]

I would say their portion control technique works wonders for me. I won't eat a single ones because they taste like equine excrement. See, now if they would just make them taste more like bovine excrement, I might be able to handle it.

 

[Rogue]

It might be healthy, if not consumed in generous amounts AFTER the use of copious amounts of mary jane.

 

[xSkyDrAx]

I remember eating White Castle when I was on the east coast when i was younger. Some of the best burger's I've ever had. I miss them

They're called Krystal in da south

The flaw in your logic is that most people go to White Castle either high or drunk and end up buying a craver case and polishing off 20-30 burgers cause they are to hammered to know better.

hey, they chose to overeat.

But find a fast food joint with such healthy burgers! I don't think it can be done.

 

[MoPHo]

the size of them doesn't help the burgers. I'm a very skinny guy (5'11, 145lbs) and i usually go there and finish 10 in a sitting. If each one is 140 calories, i'm taking in 1400 calories. now to me, that doesn't sound too good.

While they may be healthier than any other fast food place, i really don't think that it matters if you're dropping 10 in a sitting.

Side note: They are the sh!t. Can't get enough of them.

There are no bad foods, only bad diets. In other words, don't eat them every day for lunch and dinner.
