Are you feeling hungry? You should really read this article before going to your favorite fast food restaurant and ordering your usual chemical and prescription drug-ridden meal.Did you know that, with fast food burgers, you’re likely eating crushed beetles and or duck feathers? Today, we’ll list some of the most disgusting additives you’re eating when you hit the drive-thru.
Duck Feathers
There’s an urban legend that says that McDonald’shamburgers contain cow eyeballs. Though this hasn’t been proven, the company’s Baked Hot Apple Pie does contain duck feathers, or at least an ingredient commonly derived from such. Truth can be just as strange as fiction.
Pink Slime
McDonald’s wants you to believe that every time you bite their McNuggets, you are eating chicken. However, we all know this is far from the truth. It’s actually a mixture of bones and chicken carcass, chicken parts that you won’t normally eat.Other ingredients include: pink slime and small amounts of petroleum.
Silly Putty Plastic
Dimethylpolysiloxane – a form of silicone used in the stretchy toy, also found in fryer oil to keep it from foaming. You can find it in McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish and fries … or almost anything deep-fried in a fast food restaurant.
Wood (Cellulose)
Processed wood pulp, also known as cellulose, is used in about everything.Food processors use it to thicken and stabilize foods, replace fat and boost fiber content
Petroleum-Derived Preservatives (TBHQ)
Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) – made from compounds derived from petroleum, can be found in processed food.McDonald’suses it in 18 products ranging from its Fruit and Walnut Salad to Griddle Cakes to McNuggets.
Soil Fertilizer (Ammonium Sulfate)
Ammonium sulfate is used as “yeast food for bread,” and as a result, many fast-food companies list the ingredient in their bakery products.
Only $6 billion was spent on food, 40 years ago. Today, the number is closer to $200 billion. Not only is the fast food industry serving us disgusting food, they are making tons of money doing it.
