What Not to Eat at Fast Food Restaurants

The great thing about living in New York is that it’s very easy to avoid fast food restaurants, because there are so many options for cheap take-out (i.e. bodegas!), or a pizza joint around the corner where you can get a slice for few bucks or less. Unfortunately, for a lot of Americans, fast food chains have become one of the only low-cost, quick and easy options. This Reddit thread has a very fascinating list of things you should avoid at fast food restaurants, according to people who work in them, for example: ice! Did you know that the ice in the soda machines are possibly contaminated with mold because the machines aren’t cleaned properly? Also: grilled chicken! Also: Everything.
