Square Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I wonder what's in most of the fast food. I mean, i've never cooked a burger at home and had it look, feel, taste anything like McDonalds. I think most of it is more chemistry set produced than actual food.

SayItAintSoJoe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I read a book called "America Fast Food Nation" about 4 years ago and have not had beef since. It describes all sorts of shady practices that go on in the beef and fast food industry. The truth is scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It describes all sorts of shady practices that go on in the beef and fast food industry. The truth is scary. Bah, fast food is horrible for you, but on the whole, beef is not a hugh problem. Chicken is pumped with just as much crap as is pork. ANd you don't want to know how they make those neat looking hams that come wrapped in those air tight plastic packages. Fact is, all food out there, for the most part, is injected with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, etc... Some of it is processed and mixed with fillers, injected preservatives, and flavoring solutions. Unless you plan on building your own chicken coop, pig pen, or cattle ranch you are not going to get "quality" food, it is what our society has devolved to. I even have reservations about how "organic", organic food is (and I'm sure as hell not going to pay 75% more for it.) So, go out and buy a cow, thirteen chickens, two sheep, a few pigs and build a little lake and stock it with native, wild, fish species. Plant a hugh garden and learn ho to can, pickle and preserve vegetables. At that point you can rest assured that your meals are "clean". Other than that, eat up and watch your fat and sodium intake. But, I can see where you're coming from. Edited January 26, 2011 by SEC=UGA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Square though...he gives his kids one of them big fat welfare burgers on Wonder Bread with big chopped onions and green peppers mixed into it....

That kind of clean eating would be difficult. Not eating a taco made with sand (silicon dioxide) not so much. You do what you can man....you do what you can.

You do what you can man....you do what you can. Absolutely understood. And you're better for it. Wish I could do the same and completely forego those things that are bad for me. But, as long as they make cigarettes and chili, cheese dogs with onions I'm not gonna win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my generation grew up on bologna sandwiches so maybe we should have all died from processed meats already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting/scary/disgusting stuff. GB I almost never eat fast food anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Maybe Walgreens should start putting 1/2 my daughter's enalipril in the solution and call it the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Some more diaper dirt tainted beef..... Beef Recall I wonder what the amount of feces is that gets into each burger. My guess would be about 10% of each burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
