hmm, and we wonder why so many kids these days have food allergies . . . pump them full of frankenfood and try to trick our bodies into thinking that this chemical crap is the same as REAL food.

This is why Mcdonalds doesn't sell these year-round. It's the kind of thing you eat once a year. Nobody is claiming that it's healthy.

Don't like it? Don't eat it. No need to make others feel bad about something tasty that they indulge in once a year.

Hah, likelihood of people only eating at McDonalds once a year is rather low. I doubt the rest of their bullshit is any better for you.
 
We don't need regulation; the free market will stop these things from being used as additives.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY JOBS?

You are the exception, not the rule.

See, its all about taste. So long as it tastes good, who cares whats actually in it. The McRibb shares the same chemical garbage as everything else on McDonald's menu. It's nothing special in that regard.
 
Based on who the OP was, I fully expected this to be a Debbie Downer thread. Naturally, it was.

Hey, OP - if you don't like the McRib, don't eat it. I like the McRib. I don't care what's in it. The fact that you posted its saturated fat content as a negative, when it has been LONG proven that that's not a "diet evil", shows that I shouldn't be taking dietary advice from you anyway.

Ta ta, I will enjoy my lunch now:

Polysorbate 80

Could be a reason why so many people like the McRib. Many other laboratories cheap out and only use Polysorbate 60. Not McD's, they go first-class rocking the 80.

just imagine what we would be eating if all the regulatory agencies were non-existant like some would like to see.

Just imagine what it would be like if the regulatory agencies weren't run by the organizations and people they're supposed to be regulating.


Yeah...that'd be nice.:\

Right, because it is good business to kill your consumers. Nothing sells McRibs faster than stories of people being killed when eating them.

"Buyer Beware" didn't come about because companies did everything possible to protect their business by being friendly to consumers.
If I can make killing you sufficiently profitable, you are now a disposable revenue source.

It never ceases to amaze me how far behind the US is behind the rest of the world. Why are companies allowed to use chemicals like azodicarbonamide in our food, when its been banned in other countries?

Does anyone else see the irony in Texashiker posting this?

He has argued time and time again in other discussions where Europe is brought up on how they are ahead of the US that "Well this is AMERICA" blah blah blah

The hypocrisy is palpable

Yes, the food at McD's is evil.

I hope you are buying all organic food at home to protect your children from all those evil chemicals.

wtf do you think cigarette companies are doing, healing their consumers?

Why did you leave out the salad dressing...

Exactly.

What do you think is in/on that chicken? How do you think they preserve it? What about the chemicals used on the veggies when they were grown? What about the critic acid on the fruit to preserve it? Or that yummy mystery "white sauce'? I know most people look at that stuff and think, oh that's a salad. But in reality, its loaded with mystery crap that you don't know/think about.

Yes, those items are better than a burger and fries calorie-wise, but it doesn't mean they are without chemical preservatives.
