How exactly does McDonalds make eggs that aren't real eggs> I don't believe that.

There are carton "eggs" that you pour. The McMuffin really is made from fresh cracked eggs, though. I think they are delicious.

What's wrong with carton eggs? How are they not real eggs?

Just curious. What do you think those are made from?

I wasn't trying to imply whipped eggs from a carton aren't eggs.

Do you really think they'd be allowed to call it an Egg McMuffin if it didn't have real eggs? It would be a pretty clear-cut case of false advertising.

Do you read the ingredients of anything you eat/drink? This happens all the time. Read ingredients of "Apple Juice" or "Orange Juice" and it will often say upon inspection "Contains 12% juice" or something of the like.

Yeah... your Egg McMuffin probably has SOME egg in it, but that's about it.

There was a promotional document a couple of years ago which describes each type of egg they do.[0] The egg mcmuffin is actually the best, as it's entirely just an egg, cracked and cooked from scratch right there.

Ok, so the worst thing I can find about the egg McMuffin is that it is prepared with 'liquid margerine' which appears to contain some trans fats in the form of 'partially hydrogenated soybean oil'. My understanding is anything that is partially hydrogenated is trans fats.

Apparently it is has 1/3 of you daily allowance of sodium as well.

On the other hand, if you're eating at McDonald's, I suspect the presence of trans fats in the oil isn't something you're super worried about - it's not like it's junk food loaded up with things you can barely pronounce, specifically designed to make up 75% of your recommended allowance of calories while containing as little meat/veg as possible.

McDonald's, as long as you approach the menu reasonably, is honestly probably one of the better fast food options - not something you should be eating every day, but once every couple of weeks probably isn't going to kill you any faster than anything else you do.

Find me anything with fake egg that passes itself off as Egg Something. Cadbury doesn't count, it has to be an egg substitute.

The food industry plays all sorts of games. Ever seen what's actually in "pork" sausages or "chicken" nuggets?

Do you know how narrow the definition of "mayonnaise" is (in the US)? They don't mess around.

If you haven't seen one in nyc, then you're either blind or don't know what the iPhone X looks like.

it's likely that they have to rationalize their inability to understand/connect with "regular" people by feeling superior about not caring about "status symbols" or the like.

supply and demand

> Programmers are usually not encourage to wear button-down shirts

You're basing this view on a very small subset of companies (startups). the vast majority of places where people work still expect professional dress above the level of t shirt + cargo shorts and flip flops.

You actually might be overpaid since you don't even understand a concept as simple as supply and demand.

If you really feel so bad about what you get paid, tell HR you want to take a pay cut. Maybe they'll be happy to help.

Don't be jealous. I don't understand the concept either, and I'm grossly overpaid, way more than OP, and most probably than you.

Or rather he's intelligent enough to understand that the real world does not function in the way of abstract equilibrium pricing models.
