Big Mac: two processed patties drowning in soybean regret.

The Take

Order the grilled chicken sandwich without the bun and with extra pickles. McDonald's Big Mac earns a 92 Slop Score as the seed-oil cathedral of industrial fast food.

Buns and special sauce ride soybean oil while the patties are processed, not whole-muscle beef. Fries double down on the same fryer oil.

The Verdict

Skip the Big Mac entirely. It delivers 92 Slop Score through soybean oil architecture and processed meat that signals maximum convenience with zero soul.

Grilled chicken no bun plus pickles from home is the only defensible move. Everything else doubles down on the industrial formula.
