Yeah well that just sucks honestly.

I have a Randall's, a HEB, and a Krogers all within two miles of my house.

but i will defend the deliciousness of those "hamburgers" to my death.

Well that won't take long. Last time I ate a chicken Mcnugget I tore it open and didn't see anything resembling the way chicken usually tears apart. It was more like the way this tears apart:

"The ingredients listed in the flyer suggest a lot of thought goes into a nugget, that and a lot of corn. Of the thirty-eight ingredients it takes to make a McNugget, I counted thirteen that can be derived from corn: the corn-fed chicken itself; modified cornstarch (to bind the pulverized chicken meat); mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (emulsifiers, which keep the fats and water from separating); dextrose; lecithin (another emulsifier); chicken broth (to restore some of the flavor that processing leeches out); yellow corn flour and more modified cornstarch (for the batter); cornstarch (a filler); vegetable shortening; partially hydrogenated corn oil; and citric acid as a preservative. A couple of other plants take part in the nugget: There's some wheat in the batter, and on any given day the hydrogenated oil could come from soybeans, canola, or cotton rather than corn, depending on the market price and availability.

According to the handout, McNuggets also contain several completely synthetic ingredients, quasiedible substances that ultimately come not from a corn or soybean field but form a petroleum refinery or chemical plant. These chemicals are what make modern processed food possible, by keeping the organic materials in them from going bad or looking strange after months in the freezer or on the road. Listed first are the "leavening agents": sodium aluminum phosphate, mono-calcium phosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and calcium lactate. These are antioxidants added to keep the various animal and vegetable fats involved in a nugget from turning rancid. Then there are "anti-foaming agents" like dimethylpolysiloxene, added to the cooking oil to keep the starches from binding to air molecules, so as to produce foam during the fry. The problem is evidently grave enough to warrant adding a toxic chemical to the food: According to the Handbook of Food Additives, dimethylpolysiloxene is a suspected carcinogen and an established mutagen, tumorigen, and reproductive effector; it's also flammable.

But perhaps the most alarming ingredient in a Chicken McNugget is tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to "help preserve freshness." According to A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives, TBHQ is a form of butane (i.e. lighter fluid) the FDA allows processors to use sparingly in our food: It can comprise no more than 0.02 percent of the oil in a nugget. Which is probably just as well, considering that ingesting a single gram of TBHQ can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse." Ingesting five grams of TBHQ can kill."

Ahhhhh ..... at first it just said "well that won't take long" then we got Tower'd! (albiet with useful information, which is unlike tower)


Still ... i'm loling at the comment.

im not gonna lie......... the texture of a chicken mcnugget is my favorite chicken texture (unless i'm eating chicken that's been really well prepared/cooked). i know how terrible that sounds but hey its what i grew up eating. that's pretty horrifying to hear though... and probably explains why i stopped eating mcnuggets awhile back. i ordered some and in one of them there was this blob of what i assumed was gristle but in retrospect it was more likely a blob of petrochemicals haha

i dont really shop organic but when i can i buy shit from farmer's markets or flea markets. we have alot of farming here

Where can I get a hold of some of this tertiary butylhydroquinone?

On a side note, I too, have not eaten any fast food (save for the double down (just once!), cuz im crazy like that) in over 2 years, at least.
