If you have not seen the documentary entitled "Supersize Me" then I highly recommend it.
Synopsis: This guy ate McDonald's for every meal for a month and it nearly killed him. He also gained 35ish pounds in one month and got erectile disfunction.
My back hurts just thinking about carrying that spare tire all of a sudden. Crazy movie loaded with startling information and so worth watching!

Ok, other than getting fat from it the nuggets and burgers are made from pink paste! The color comes from scraping everything off the bone and mushing it together, so basically it's from the blood of the animal. If that wasnt bad enough the meat used is the left over parts from the animals other places didn't want.

"Unless you grow your own crops, or kill your own animals for meat, you will get what we give you and you WILL LIKE IT."
Pretty much sums it up. Oh, sure, farmers market, good butcher, but... Yeah. I ain't that rich.
I must comment, though, just because the bone is scraped doesn't mean it's the blood of the animal. It means the same as you chewing on the ends of a drumstick of chicken or turkey, getting all that delishush tasties off the ends. Even the marrow itself isn't blood, and if you think that ANY meat has no blood in it, you are... not thinking clearly.
We all eat blood if we eat meat. It's just the way of things.
/True Maple Syrup is tree blood, by the way. And with that, I'm out, peace.

Popcorn is a favorite snack in the United States, with the average American eating almost 54 quarts every year. Although popcorn can be a healthy snack, it can also be dangerous to your health, even exposing you to cancer-causing chemicals. Consider the following five cautions before popping another bag of store-bought microwave popcorn:
1. PFOA. The manufacturers of microwave popcorn coat the bags with a chemical that, according to the FDA, breaks down during the cooking process and forms a chemical called perfluorooctanoic or PFOA. The Environmental Protection Agency classifies PFOA as a likely carcinogen.
2. Diacetyl. A chemical called diacetyl is used to give microwave popcorn a butter flavor — but it also gives rise to bronchiolitis obliterans or "popcorn workers lung." There is disagreement over whether or not ordinary consumers who pop a bag or two a week are at risk, but one court awarded a consumer $7.2 million after developing popcorn lung. A Denver man said he developed the disease from eating two bags of microwave popcorn every day for 10 years. To avoid inhaling diacetyl, open freshly popped bags away from your face, and if you have an exhaust fan attached to your stove, turn it on.
3. Burns. The process of microwaving popcorn in bags causes steam, which can easily cause severe burns to your face and hands. Avoid getting burned when opening a bag of freshly popped corn by keeping your face and hands away from the opening.
4. Tooth damage. Most bags of popcorn have a few unpopped kernels, and those hard pieces can chip and crack teeth. In 2008, a man sued a movie theater after fracturing a tooth on an unpopped kernel. Kernels can also get stuck between teeth causing gum irritation. Eat small amounts at a time and avoid hard unpopped kernels.
5. Fat, salt, and calories. A bag of butter-flavored microwave popcorn can contain up to 24 grams of fat, 500 to 600 milligrams of salt, and about 600 calories. That beats a large popcorn at some movie theaters which can pack as many as 60 grams of fat, but it's far from being healthy.

Can't remember the last time I ate at McDonald's. I plan to never do so again. I don't care what the food is made from, it tastes like crap.

Ever wonder what's really found in Chicken McNuggets? Some of the ingredients, it turns out, seem to belong more to an industrial factory of some kind, not a food retailer. According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including:
Dimethylpolysiloxane, a type of silicone, is used in caulks and sealants, as a filler for breast implants, and as key ingredient in Silly Putty. Says Wikipedia:
"PDMS is also used as a component in silicone grease and other silicone based lubricants, as well as in defoaming agents, mold release agents, damping fluids, heat transfer fluids, polishes, cosmetics, hair conditioners and other applications. PDMS has also been used as a filler fluid in breast implants, although this practice has decreased somewhat, due to safety concerns. PDMS is used variously in the cosmetic and consumer product industry as well. For example, PDMS can be used in the treatment of head lice..."
Not that the other ingredients are any better. Because cotton is not regulated as a food crop, cottonseed oil may contain chemical pesticides that are banned in food production. It is also almost always genetically modified. Hydrogenated oils, of course, typically contain trans fats, the artificially produced fats that are unusable by the body and that studies have linked to a number of detrimental health problems. And autolyzed yeast extract is a chemical taste-enhancing ingredient containing free glutamate that manufacturers use as a friendlier-looking replacement for MSG.
And what about the chicken in Chicken McNuggets? It's factory-farmed chicken, not free-range chicken. So it's the kind of chicken that's typically treated with vaccines and hormones while being fed conventional feed products that are medicated with pharmaceuticals and grown with pesticides.
Yum!! Don't forget to ask for extra dipping sauce. We haven't even talked about what you'll find in there...

- Autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG),
- Sodium phosphates and
- Sodium aluminum phosphate.
- "hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and
- citric acid added to preserve freshness" and
- "Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

Its not bad. Third world countries have to pass all kinds of worse stuff through their bodies. I think we can handle a lil less than perfection from our food. Just eat it!
