    The most dangerous ingredient in American foods is the profound STUPIDITY of the american consumer! Americans are killing themselves and their children because they they PRAY, attack Non-whites and supportfuel multiple foreign wars with more enthusiasm than they THINK & REASON. Net result? Food tha is Death Dealing! Th U.S. just loves it!

  2. OMG! That is really bad. We are doing a powerpoint for math class about the information that is uncovered and we used the information on this website. We WILL give you guys credit!

  3. I can only say 1 thing, boycott Mc,KFC,Wendy, for the animals, for the environment, for the starving people, for your health

    1. I agree, I love fast food, but after reading this, I am disgusted. the FDA needs to close all chains that use chemicals and enforce the use of natural ingredients. No more pink slime, no more hormones, no more pesticides, no more chemicals. I would only accept preservatives in low amounts to keep foods fresh, but then again they can do away with that by freezing the food. I expect heavy lawsuits to occur and heavy fines. Hell, fining these companies heavily could ease the economic crisis.

  4. takes a lot of forethought to avoid fast food if lots of time spent on the road; i am a truck driver, such a tough life and hard to get out of once into it…

    thanks for your informative articles! (ps, is MSG a sweetener or a flavor enhancer?)

    1. MSG is a chemical that basically a strong salt. I'm not an expert, but MSG is used in a lot of foods, especially chinese foods, you will notice from the strong flavor and the chemical aftertaste it leaves. Some food chains will use this chemical to enhance or rather hide bland or bad flavored foods. Some people are allergic to MSG and the two chemicals listed in the McSalads actually hide the traces of MSG which may make a person sick and they won't be able to trace it back to the salads. something like that.

    2. I know you spend a lot of time on the road, but when you can, avoid the chains restaurants in favor of sit down restaurants. hell maybe pack yourself a cooler with some food you made in advance or some sandwhich stuff you can put together when you pull over to rest. It's likely to save you some money and be better for your health.

    This article is somewhat spotty.

    "and a particularly dangerous substance known as autolyzed yeast extract. Autolyzed yeast extract is similar to MSG, an artificial sweetener that has been linked to obesity"

    Similar how?

    I am similar to a monkey. However i am clearly not a monkey"

    Why is there not a cited reference?

    1. Not to mention that MSG is NOT an "artificial sweetener", it's a flavor enhancer and it's probably the least of the evils in fast food.

      1. Thank you. I was feeling a bit lost when I read that!

  6. Now, I'm taken aback that a huge corporation like Mickey Ds would allow genetically modified foods on its menu, The evil Monsanto has won another battle, but not the war

    Wake up people! Become very aware of your environment. These Franken Foods will leach out and burn up earths soil. It causes unspeakable harm to human bodies and the government STILL allows it all , sans labeling, of course .

    Please,know what you're eating . It will literally KILL YOU.

    plans

  7. Jake. Your glazing over the overall message. McDonalds puts more unnatural ingredients in food than natural and claim it to all be healthy. Your definition of GMO is completely different from genetic selection. The likelihood of crops being modified genetically even 100 years ago is unlikely.
    Regardless, Jake, please keep feeding the fast food corps as you seem to know best.

      I don’t know what that is

  8. I love their chicken nuggets and you know what… I actually PREFER that its bleached cause than it dosent look like a fried chunk of animal. I mean, unless you eat there regularly, it probably aint gonna kill you.

    I must say that there's this australian meat company that provides the best beef and pork in town. I was already able to try their ham and it's the best one I have tasted.

    There will always be a lot of preservatives in fast food. I do bet that the burger patties are no longer purely 100% beef, but I bet some fried chicken recipes are not really that full of preservatives.

    Propylene glycol? A laxative? Are you sure you don’t me polyethylene glycol? They’re very different, but I suppose to a layman who never even did a cursory amount of research, it all looks the same…

  12. EW!!! This makes me want to vomit. I avoid fast food at all cost, save Chick-Fil-A, which I consider to be a healthier option if need be. Reading some of the ingredients and the fact that some of them aren't approved for animal usage makes me all the more resolute about not eating at these obesity farms. Thanks for the post!

    “there will always be” she says.. so that’s it then? it’s dangerous poison and we just have to submit to the ‘fact’ that it will always be like this so what’s the point? did you read the article? all bets are off, not just whether the beef patty is 100%. yeesh.

    a lot of things were accepted and deemed safe by some organization, like the FDA, or whatever, but over time, it turns out that these chemicals they’re putting in food (um, why?) actually turn out to be completely toxic and cancerous.

  16. anonymous says:

    there really isn’t any excuse when it comes to your health buddy, i mean, all that time you spend on the road, if you bought food from farmer markets locally as your drove from town to town, you would save a ton of money that you would have spent killing yourself with fast food, if you’re trying to ‘save’ time, you should actually look at life and all the different ways you can ‘make’ more time..

  17. anonymous says:

    exactly, the FDA is one of the worst organizations ever created and really is just a conduit to allow corporate crime and subsequent decreasing public health to be allowed and worst yet, legal.

    ‘guest’, did you even read the comment? i don’t know, maybe i’m just a staunch libertarian, but you are responsible for your life, not the government or him or her or me. you can’t help if the government falsely plants evidence on you and locks you up, but you can help what you eat. it’s true, the government is complicit in keeping people uneducated and these stories out of the news, but i agree with joseph, people need to wake up! i mean, just pray everything will turn out alright? i think we have the individual responsibility to make things happen. i mean, i agree with you too, we can’t and don’t control the government, and it probably needs to be overthrown, but, just chill yo

    Did you do these chemical tests yourself or is there in fact a source to all this.?

  20. Corey Stratton says:

    So right Jake. It saddens me to know that people actually believe this rubbish.

  21. Corey Stratton says:

    Who needs facts these days? Articles like this are all over the place. Opinion is so widely accepted as fact I have to shake my head at where society is headed.

  22. Corey Stratton says:

    Echo, there are so many factually incorrect statements in this article. Please DO NOT share this.
