Breaded Chicken, Sunday
Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato on
Whole Wheat Bun
Cucumber~Tomato Salad
This meal contains a lot of highly processed, manufactured foods. Here are the ingredients on the chicken patty - manufactured by Tyson and including rib meat: Boneless chicken breast with rib meat, water, salt, and natural flavor. BREADED WITH: Wheat flour, water, wheat starch, white whole wheat flour, salt, yellow corn flour, corn starch, dried onion, dried garlic, dried yeast, brown sugar, extractives of paprika, and spices. Breading set in vegetable oil. ('Set' is often a euphemism for 'flash-fried.')
You can read more about Tyson here. It's not pretty. These patties have 14g of fat and 620mg of sodium.
The turkey bacon does not say "Applegate" on the menu so I can't 't be sure it is but that's what we usually use. Nonetheless, it is still bacon. Here are the ingredients: Turkey (Turkey Used Never Administered Antibiotics, Growth Promotants or Animal By-products), Water, Sea Salt, Maple Sugar, Celery Juice, Onion Powder, Spices, Lactic Acid Starter Culture (not From Milk.) They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article says otherwise - and cites the company saying their bacon has the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands.

The cucumber and tomato salad are fresh. I am not a fan of processed chicken patties by any stretch of the imagination. Head for the salad bar 1
