Oh gee... another one of those articles that lambasts common ingredients used for food processing.

I guarantee you the average American will consume half of those chemicals on any given day without going to a McDonald's.

Winning: I wonder if there's any dihydro-monoxide in that.

drank a whole glass of that last night.

and this morning.

/knew what it was without looking.

Szodicarbonamide is a flour bleaching agent most commonly used to bleach flour.

So if there is not any rib meat in there, how can they legally call it a Mcrib sandwich?

real pork spare ribs or die

the "Mc" changes everything

McRib is a name. They can put whatever they want into it.

Just like the Whopper contains no wops nor is it marketed to them.

/Part Sicilian so it's okay.

dopeydwarf: Gee whiz. I guess we could just, I don't know, look it up maybe?

How you ever managed to even find the interwebs is beyond me.

so this is what reporting has become: lambasting someone who points out that the reporting is piss-poor.

Well, the last hamburger I consumed contained NO pork products. I demand a refund.

Only lazy people eat at McDonalds.

/and stoned people eat at Taco Bell

dopeydwarf: So a writer needs to present you with a dictionary listing for each term you don't understand? Real solid logic there.

a follow-up post in the exact same tone! Flawless.

I had my first McRib today. I don't see what the big deal is.

*follow up* morons defend corporations feeding them chemicals and offal

I ate two Mcribs for breakfast today and washed it down with a quart of Mountain Dew.

WAAAAY back when the McRib first came out, in the early 80's, they used fairly good "meat" and they tasted pretty good. A small portion of the population really loved them. Ever since, McDonald's has been trying to capture those fans by bringing the sandwich back, but the new iterations are nowhere near as tasty.

you sure you have the correct thread?

Tell you what....all you tree hugger, veggie types....
You don't tell me what to eat, I won't tell you what to eat...
Simple, isn't it?

Oh, look - another piece which is just a retyped and slightly edited press release from CSPI.

Corporations! Gasp! Chemicals! Oh, my!

Despite giving this article writer the heebie-jeebies we would all probably be better off if we ate more tripe.

These articles make me fume with generic rage.

Would you eat something with allyl isothiocyanate, dimethyl sulfide or methyl butyrate?

Well, you have if you've ever had horseradish, tomatoes or apples.

Ah the CSPI, what a bunch of enlightened souls there.

Yay, first :)

When are they releasing TIME for adults?

no one's telling you what to eat. but maybe if you actually knew the shiat you're eating, you wouldn't act so stupid when your arteries clog up and they cart you away to the emergency room where that insurance company has to pay a ton of money to restart your heart and put you on lifetime meds and then hike up the premiums on the rest of us to pay for it. but please, have another pork heart and stomach lining marinated in ascetic acid on me. sounds McLiscious!

There's nothing wrong with offal. It's not some dangerous, foul food that'll kill you, it's parts of an animal that are feared on a cultural level. biatch about chemicals, fine, but to lump offal with chemicals as some kind of danger to your body is ridiculous.

Ah, this must be why Croc's shoes are rumored to be edible.

FTFA: the most egregious may be azodicarbonamide - "a flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufactur[ing] of foamed plastics like gym mats the and soles of shoes."

/see the business thread

Yeah but do they sell Partially Gelatinated Non-dairy Gum-based Beverages?

I tried a McRib for the first time a few days ago. Kind of gross, fatty, and bland.

This just in: Celery contains chemicals known to science to cause phototoxicity and possibly death. Also, every carrot ever grown or consumed was laced with alcohol.
