And while we don't expect to see fruit trees sprouting up under the Golden Arches The Golden Arches are the famous symbol of McDonald's, a fast-food hamburger chain based in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA. They were introduced in 1953, when Dick and Mac McDonald began franchising their company, as part of the standard building design: a pair of stylized arches, one anytime soon, you can now buy a Fruit & Walnut Salad at any McDonald's nationwide. So the next time you need a break from the interstate or the shopping mall, you don't have to settle for burgers, fries, pizza, mega-muffins, ice cream, or other less-healthy foods. You can't beat the numbers. With the mini-pack of walnuts, the salad has 310 calories (160 calories if you don't eat the nuts). It's low in saturated fat saturated fat, any solid fat that is an ester of glycerol and a saturated fatty acid. The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be (1 1/2 grams) and sodium (90 mg). And the candied nuts add only 3/4 of a teaspoon (three grams) of sugar. What's more, the salad delivers a respectable six grams of fiber, a good dose of potassium, and 15 percent of a day's calcium. But odds are you'll be thinking "sweet and luscious," not "fiber and calcium," as you dig into Verb 1. dig into - examine physically with or as if with a probe; "probe an anthill" poke into, probe penetrate, perforate - pass into or through, often by overcoming resistance; "The bullet penetrated her chest" each flawless bite of fruit.
