Unhealthy Dish

Gasp!...A Hamburger

I ate a hamburger. It is full of fat from the cheese and the deep-fried processed chicken patty so its full of calories! The only vegetable present are some button mushrooms... but when served with full-fat dressing, it is not healthy.

I am modifying it by pan-frying, instead of deep-frying, a vegetable patty, made deliciously with healthy peas, carrots, potatoes and spices. Also, I would be using a wholemeal hamburger bun instead of the usual white buns. I would also include many vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, purple and green lettuce and tomatoes with ketchup instead of button mushrooms with full-fat dressing.

Including more vegetables would increase the amount of dietary fibres in the hamburger and also include many essential vitamins. Using wholemeal buns would also include more dietary fibres and vitamins/ minerals. Not using a patty of deep-fried, processed chicken meat and cheese would also decrease the amount of fats and unhealthy seasoning and chemicals included during the processing of the meat.
