We get something like this everytime a McDonalds link is posted. You will always end up at McDonalds and forget about it at some point.

if any of you don't know that you're eating crap when u eat at MD's you need to go get an education

they're not responsible for our stupidity

now back to the food...it tastes fine when u don't think about whats in it...i'm all for it...a little bit of fat never hurt anyone :) just don't make it a daily thing that like that fruitcake that ate it two to three times a day, got diabetes and a heart attack, then sued MD

I'm not seeing anything in there that would make me not eat Chicken McNuggets anymore than anything else from a fast food restaurant. None of the big 'ol names are particularly scary stuff besides the hydronated crap but that is to be expected (remember, FAST FOOD!).

Whomever thinks fast food is healthy is an idiot. Almost as idiotic as someone who feels the need to point it out.


Just kidding ;) but seriously...

Cottonseed oil is one of my all time favs.

Think about it- Is cotton edible? Who was the genius who first thought- "Well, we wear cotton, so it must be good to fry food in". Lol.

And your point is...? All you did was show me yet another source I am getting riboflavin from (necessary for time travel).

I recall some news item that McDonalds was going to use white meat chicken (instead of whatever mystery meat they have in there now) in their Nuggets. Probably to help with declining revenues (Special!!! Chicken McNugget's made with 100% real chicken meat!!!) ;)

uhhh... you get rabies too? ;)

It's added to the frying oil to stop it from foaming. Remember this is McD's, a nice potential lawsuit for all, so they disclose every single thing that goes into their products. Or at least they should be...

Sigh, UCLA (westwood) area sucks ass when it comes to this type of deals. The one on Wilshire never has anything special. If you're willing to drive far down Santa Monica, that one might have it.

That's better than 80% of the stuff found at your neighborhood grocery store.
