Fast food: Would you like lies with that?

Read a book called Fast Food Nation. This book, written by Eric Schlosser, is not only a former New York Times Bestseller, but also a major motion picture from Fox Searchlight.
Now I am going to try to finish my next books, Twinkie, Deconstructed, Diet for a New America, Food Fight, and The Great American Detox Diet. That last one was actucally written by Morgan Spurlock's "friend.

Many of the covers are pictured in my background.

This book not only discusses the reason our little comfort foods taste good, but also a little insight into its [the food's] oil deep history. So, please, come along as I discuss some rising issues come to par.
[Disclaimer: This page was made to help vegetarians and vegans keep their animal food facts straight and so they dont accidentally eat animal products!]

To start, this author, Eric Schlosser, is a correspondent of the Atlantic Monthly, wrote vearious other books (Of which are not "ok" for me to say on neopets) and appeared in Rolling stone, Vanity Fair, and The nation. His book spent 2 years on the NY Bestseller list and has been translated into 20 different languages. (Covers may vary.)

From humble Beginnings: To just let you know, you will first learn about the rich history involving how fast food restaraunts came to me. Later delving into spefic chains and looking more deeply into the life of the workers and the food presentation overall.

Your Fries: Before the 1990's, the fries were cooked in 93% beef tallow. This gave it more saturated beef fat than their burgers. Now it used pure vegetable oil and "Natural flavouring." This natural flavouring was questionable.
The Vegetarian Journal wanted to know what was used to make the fries. McDonalds wouldnt disclose that information, but acknowlages they use animal products.
(If you dont beleive me, check out page 120 in the book.)
[It is not safe for Vegetarians and Vegans to eat these fries without breaking dietary restrictions.]

Duck Nuggets: I have heard rumors of Chicken McNuggets consistiing of duck, emu, and other odd poultry. I have always awnsered, "Of course not! Then it would be too expensive to manufacture." Well folks, now you can shout, "Of course not! It is only reconstituted chicken, being held together by stabilizers, and breaded, fried, then reheated. Thats when it goes into your system." Its sad, but true.
There are no health benifets to their nuggets opposed to their other foods. Their fatty acid profile resembles beef more than poultry. It has beef extract in it too. And has TWICE AS MUCH FAT per ounce than their burgers.
(If you dont beleive me, check out page 140 in the book.)

Dannon is Carmine: Dannon strawberry yogurt used couloring. No big surprise. This is what is. Insects.
The Dactylopius coccus Costa, found mainly in peru and the Canaryislands is a bug who eats red cactus berries. About 70,000 female and larvae of these are ground up to make 1 pound of a thing called "Carmine/Carminic acid." This is used in colouring various red, pink, and purple things such as Dannon strawberry yogurt, frozen fruit bars, candies, fruit fillings, and much much more!

No more trees: McDonald's and Burger King are two of the many US corporations using lethal poisons to destroy vast areas of Central American rainforest to create grazing pastures for cattle to be sent back to the States as burgers and pet food, and to provide fat-food packaging materials. (Don't be fooled by McDonald's saying they use recycled paper: only a tiny per cent of it is. The truth is it takes 800 square miles of forest just to keep them supplied with paper for one year. Tons of this end up litteing the cities of 'developed' countries.)

Bon Appitete!!!

Do they ever even mold?!

Hi and welcome. My name is- well, thats not important. And I am here to show you my french fries. We all know McDonalds is unhealthy, but how bad is it really?
You most likely got directed here from my Would you like lies with that? page. So, I assume you alreddy have read some gross things. I hope you also watched Supersize Me And read Fast Food Nation. Not to rant, but my quitting eating fast foods along with vegetarianisim and a lot of excersize, attributed to the loss of 16 pounds. And eating McJunk for a month helps you gain around 30lbs.

So, please, enjoy my page. I will update it every day and add McFrie's Pics every weekend. This is my personal log book I am sharing with you. Enjoy.

Intro: So I just bought a small fries and still can honestly say I havent eaten any deep fried foods since September. Iou know why? I put them in a plastic, air-tight container for study.

I will be showing you how these McFires decompose, or rather, NOT decompose OR mold over a 3 month spread. After the 3 months are over, it will get interesting. This is where other have stopped. But I will keep going untill it breeds dangerous bacteria.

Day one:
Date: March 24, 2007
Time: 7:20 PM
Description: Fresh from the heat lamp, these fries are warm and have an enticing odor. You can see the greese on them along with the salt. Normal size, shape, and colour. Greese bled though the bag.

Day two:
Date: March 25, 2007
Time: 8:45 AM
Description: Smell the same as when I bought them. Same size, shape, and color. Looks crispy. A little condensation at the bottom of the container from the heat from yesterday.

Day three:
Date: March 26, 2007
Time: 6:05 AM
Description: Still smells. Not as inticing a smell as when first bought. Same size, shape, and colour. I was thinking, maybe our fries we buy are heated 3-10 day old fires?! lol jk.

Day four:
Date: March 27, 2007

Day Five:
Date: March 28, 2007

Description: Did you watch Morgan Spurlock's fry and burger experiment? The fries were lasting after 3 months. I was anticipating mine would be alive for months. But SPORES and MOLD are now growing. Spots are turning a dark greenish black colour. White fuzz is breaking out in patches. I hope I dont get E Coli or something from having that on my desk.
