The Chicken That Should be Banned
Theres no doubt about it. Processed food like that from McDonalds is just not part of a healthful diet in fact, much of it cannot even pass for real food.
I am very grateful I can say I have never had a Chicken McNugget from McDonalds. If you cant say the same at least you can commit to never having another one again.
This sentiment was echoed by Federal Judge Robert Sweet in a lawsuit against the restaurant chain back in 2003 when he said:
Chicken McNuggets, rather than being merely chicken fried in a pan, are a McFrankenstein creation of various elements not utilized by the home cook.
At the time, Time Magazine reported that Judge Sweet questioned whether customers understood the risks of eating McDonalds chicken over regular chicken.
That was seven years ago, and I still wonder whether or not McDonalds customers truly understand the risks they take when consuming fast food on a regular basis.
If you missed Morgan Spurlocks documentary Super Size Me, I highly recommend you watch it with your entire family. Its a real-life illustration of just how dangerous life threatening, in fact an excessive fast food diet can really be. And excessive consumption is likely far less than you imagine: Eating fast food just twice a week doubles your risk of developing insulin resistance, compared to eating it just once a week, for example. Insulin resistance, as Ive discussed on many occasions, is one of the primary driving factors behind most of! the dis eases we currently struggle with, from diabetes to cancer and heart disease.
The truth is, McDonalds fare contains non-food ingredients that can seriously harm your health.
This shouldnt come as any great surprise. After all, how healthful can something be that shows no signs of decomposing after being left on a counter for more than a decade?
Clearly theres more chemicals in there than actual, real foodstuff.
