McDonald’s â Oatmeal” Has 11 Weird Ingredients, More Sugar Than a Snickers An oatmeal dont. Writing on the New York Times blog, Mark Bittman reviews McDonalds nightmarish attempt at making oatmeal (a foodstuff with one ingredient): Yet in typical McDonalds fashion, the company is doing everything it can to turn oatmeal into yet another bad choice. (Not only that, theyve made it more expensive than a double-cheeseburger: $2.38 per serving in New York.)  Cream€ (which contains seven ingredients, two of them actual dairy) is automatically added; brown sugar is ostensibly optional, but its also added routinely unless a customer specifically requests otherwise€¦ There are also diced apples, dried cranberries and raisins, the least processed of the ingredients (even the oatmeal contains seven ingredients, including  natural flavor€). A more accurate description than  100% natural whole-grain oats,€  plump raisins,€  sweet cranberries€ and  crisp fresh apples€ would be  oats, sugar, sweetened dried fruit, cream and 11 weird ingredients you would never keep in your kitchen.€ €¦Incredibly, the McDonalds product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonalds cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin. (Even without the brown sugar it has more calories than a McDonalds hamburger.) How to Make Oatmeal . . . Wrong (via Super Punch) Share ThisSubscribedel.icio.usFacebookRedditStumbleUponTechnorati
