Fuck fast food. Fuck gluten. Fuck MSG

That’s it. I’ve officially thrown down the towel. Over the past few years I trimmed down fast food I ate. I barely go out for fast food any more, and most recently only limited myself to Wendy’s Salads (And their delicious fries), and a few asian places in the mall food court.

I was perfectly content with having these limits, and most of the time I enjoyed the food from here. I had some fries now and then from Wendy’s, but never noticed any issues. Sometimes I would react but the fries were such a small part of my day that I completely forgot I had ate them.

Then yesterday I had one of my favourite meals, Bourbon St. Grill. As I ate it, I began feeling flushed. After a bit of research and consulting of friends, I found out that it was most likely because of the MSG. Fuck MSG

I went to a party last night, and one of the people there worked at McDonalds. She mentioned how McDonald fries were not actually full potatoes, and instead were a mixture of Mashed Potatoes and Wheat Flour. What the fuck? Fucking bullshit. Nowhere on the fucking McDonalds menu does it say that they contain wheat flour, yet gluten allergy is becoming more and more rampant.

So this morning I checked Wendy’s website, and to my surprise they have a new option on their site showing Gluten-free foods. Guess what was not in that list? Their fucking fries. Fucking fuck. No wonder I felt like shit at least once a week. Fuck Gluten.

This series of events was my last straw. Last night I dined out at the Outback Steakhouse and it was amazing. Costly, but great. As of this day, I am no longer touching a single piece of fast food that doesn’t full outline what the fuck they put in it.

So fuck you McDonalds, fuck you Bourbon St. Grill, and most of all, fuck you gluten.

Finally, in all fairness, good job to Swiss Chalet and Wendy’s for being one of the few fast food places in Canada to show specific allergenic menus.

Ahhhh, that’s better.
