1.THE AVERAGE FAST FOOD PATRON EATS 12 PUBIC HAIRS IN A GIVEN YEAR.
"we all get rare occasional hair in our food but Ingesting unwanted hair is more likely to occur at fast food restaurants."
2.A STRAWBERRY MCDONALD'S MILK SHAKE CONTAINS 50 ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS
"Apparently, real strawberries are expensive. So fast food companies like McDonald's choose to use a ridiculous concoction of 50 chemicals to effectively imitate the flavor of one real-world food. These chemicals include ethyl acetate, phenythyl alcohol and solvent."
3.THIS IS WHERE CHICKEN NUGGETS COME FROM.(updated on 28 december 2012)
"Before reshaping, foods like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, bologna and pepperoni look like a disgusting sludge of pink paste. This is done through a process called mechanical separation, which is a cost-effective way to "smooth out" bone remnants left after the de-boning process. The process results in excessive bacteria, which is fixed by washing the meat in ammonia. To cover up that delicious ammonia flavor, the meat is then re-flavored artificially and dyed to resemble to type of meat it once was."
McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are typically offered as an example of a popular MSP-based food, since 2003 that product has been made with all white meat rather than MSP.(read more here)
4.THERE ARE BUGS AND RODENT HAIR IN YOUR PEANUT BUTTER.
"FDA laws allow for an average of 30 insect fragments per 100 grams of peanut butter. In that same half cup of peanut butter, you'll also find at least one rodent hair (on average). Yum! Now that's good eating!"
5. SHELLAC IS AN IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN JELLY BEANS.
"Shellac is a type of finishing product that is typically used to improve the shine of wood and furniture. However, it can also be used to improve the shine of certain foods, such as jelly beans. Where does shellac come from? Why, it's secreted by an insect in Thailand called the Kerria Iacca of course!"
6.VARIOUS VIRUSES CAN BE FOUND ON PROCESSED LUNCH MEAT
"Food production companies have long sought ways to combat unhealthy microbes found on processed foods such as lunch meat and hot dogs. A few years ago, the FDA approved the use of bacteriophages (a.k.a. viruses) that help kill these dangerous microbes. So, basically, viruses are purposely being added to your food to improve shelf life."
7.IF NOT FOR ONE INGREDIENT, DRINKING A CAN OF COKE WOULD MAKE YOU VOMIT.
"While cocaine was long taken out of Coca-Cola long ago, the current formula is still formulated to get you high. Each can of Coke contains 10 teaspoons of sugar. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake. In normal circumstances, the extreme sweetness of this much sugar would immediately cause you to vomit uncontrollably. However, since all that sugar is addictive and keeps you coming back for more, Coca-Cola adds phosphoric acid -– an ingredient that cuts the sweetness to manageable levels."
8.FAST FOOD SALADS CONTAIN CHEMICALS USED IN ANTIFREEZE.
"Choosing to "eat healthy" at a fast food restaurant isn't necessarily a good idea. To prolong crispness, packaged salads are dusted with Propylene Glycerol, a chemical commonly found in antifreeze. In its concentrated form, the chemical has been known to cause eye and skin irritation"
9.CHICKEN MCNUGGETS CONTAIN BEEF.
"Many fast food chicken items contain beef additives used to enhance flavor and juke health stats. Chicken McNuggets, the Wendy's Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and KFC Grilled Chicken Sandwich are a few examples. Check the ingredients, and you'll see no sign of such atrocities. That's because such beef additives are listed as "extract" or "essence.""
10.PROCESSED CHEESE IS LESS THAN 51 PERCENT CHEESE.
"A more accurate name for Kraft Singles and other packaged cheeses is "cheese-like substance." Any cheese product labeled as processed or pasteurized includes additives, chemicals and flavorings that account for up 49 percent of the total product. As a result, that cheap cheese in your grocery store has just enough real cheese in it to allow companies to call it cheese."
This certainly made me think, no more fast food and coke for me!
ReplyDelete...and that's how I became a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteTwisted world we live in. Go vegan, it's the only way.
ReplyDeleteand explode your dullness to a maximum! yeah!!
Delete....and started eating bugs rare
ReplyDeleteYet I'll still eat these thing happily...
ReplyDeleteyou need to go back to nature and grow every thing by your own hand.
ReplyDelete>.<
seriously...stop eating anything which comes WRAPPED into something and has Commercial running for it...
ReplyDeleteJust don't eat outside, i consume none of those, and am not vegetarian,
ReplyDelete....
Just Go Natural people !
Well, so long as it tastes good XD
ReplyDeleteThis is what bastards producing crap expect morons to say.
DeleteAround here we say Deer it's what's for dinner.... We don't put steroids in our beef and we grow our own vegies
ReplyDeleteNotice the lack of real substantiated proof for any of this? Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
ReplyDeleteEven fruits and vegetables are genetically modified which is unhealthy too
ReplyDeleteI not a vegetarian, I just eat non of these. The chicken and meat I eat is from the local butcher, and I consider myself as a very healthy and fit man. Meat is not the enemy, McDonalds is.
ReplyDeleteYou cant win. Just choose which evil you would rather deal with
ReplyDeleteCinema nacho cheese is less than 2.5% cheese by the time you consume it.
ReplyDeletePropylene Glycol is actually a less common anti-freeze/coolant than Ethylene Gylocol... the difference? "PG" is non toxic and used in more products than you can possibly imagine; from shampoos and lotions to ice cream. Eat it, or don't. Chances are good that you do on a near daily basis without realizing it, anyway. "EG," on the other hand, is the green stuff that dogs and bees drink (because it's extremely sweet) and it will shut your kidneys down almost immediately. Just be happy that isn't in there. And, honestly, while I do care about my health, this just simply is not the worst of it by any stretch of the imagination... Go back 60 years and read the labels on what your parents grew up on! Or better yet, why doesn't someone post what kind of ingredients go into those meals we ship to starving children in Africa and the East for "only $.29 a day (you can help these poor little children. *shh! Just don't tell them or anyone else that we are only doing this to convert them to Christianity as they grow up in a very unstable region-essentially brainwashing them)." THAT is some sick debauchery.
ReplyDeleteWith regards to #7, I took a look at this chart:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.energyfiend.com/sugar-in-drinks
According to this chart, there are drinks out there with far higher levels of sugar than Coca-Cola, typically premium sodas and energy drinks. Yet in examining the contents, not all of them (indeed, few of them)have phosphoric acid.
So #7 is demonstrably a lie.
If one of these is demonstrably a lie, that speaks ill of the trustworthiness of the rest of the list, and indeed we see one has been updated to reflect that it was caught in a lie.
Well, here's the thing: I'm not going to grow my own foods. I don't have the time, income, or space for that. I guess I could shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, but frankly that's not demonstrably better than say shopping at a Kroger or Publix - especially since I'm going to buy most of the same things there (frozen and canned foods, pre-cut and pre-packaged meats, pre-picked and pre-packaged veggies and fruits) - and more it's more expensive. But at least I'm not living off convenience stores or fast food, right? Not good enough?
ReplyDeleteWell then, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm not going to change how I eat. If I can't win against industrialized foods, at least I'm going to make the best out of it.
This would have more credibility with some reference to the sources of this 'information'. Take #1 for a bit of thought - 1.THE AVERAGE FAST FOOD PATRON EATS 12 PUBIC HAIRS IN A GIVEN YEAR really? Do they cook fast food naked? Pubic hairs don't just show up in cooking at home so why are they showing up in fast food joints? Or are the hairs in the ingredients they use? Given the other point mentioning rat hairs perhaps it is rat pubic hair that we are eating....
ReplyDeleteWath this article does is throwing 10 very different "facts" and hope that people will believe in 1 at least... Go vegetarian? Obviously you never heard of GMO and all the pesticides in vegetables...
ReplyDeletefacial hair is also pubic hair, besides I think I eat more that 12 a year
ReplyDeleteit didn't hurt me to eat a mouthfull of dirt when i was a kid. What is the difference between the sand and the rodent hair in the biological grow salad and the things they found in peanut butter etc?
ReplyDeleteexcuse me, but in 100 ml of fruit juice there is the same amount of sugar as in the 100ml of coke (10 grams), and it doesnt make me puke at all! Not that i protect the coke at all!I drink coke once a year may be.
ReplyDeleteMost of these are bull.
