preservatives...

[DEATHMASTER]

So I'm eating some hot fries (Andy Capps) and reading the ingredients and see "TBHQ,BHT,BHA", all preservatives which according to wiki have some kinda carcinogenic properties. Now I'm pissed. Appears to be in chex mix too, freakin General Mills and Andy Capps.

Anything which comes in a package and for which it is not immediately apparent what the ingredients are is probably bad for you. I have heard that most cereals contain more nutritional value in the cardboard box than in the cereal. If you grind it and mix it with water, an entire box of unhealthy cereal will turn into a small cup of sludge. That being said, I still will eat a bag of munchies when I have the munchies.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

but...chex mix...cancer mix!

 

[Dan]

but...chex mix!

I mean seriously, it's not like you've discovered anything new. Everyone knows that packaged shit is full of chemicals.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

lol yeah right. Look at America, I doubt people bother to look up acronyms of ingredients, I was just bored.

The very fact that it contains ingredients with unknown acronyms should be a signal.

 

[evil^milk]

Well there's condoms and intrauterine devices andOHWAIT

Good thing you're aware now. Avoid packaged "food" like the plague!

i actually really enjoy the taste of salads..all kinds of salads. It's just that i suffer from a disease called "LAZY-NESS" and that prevents me from making my own nutritious salads, so i end up eating shitty food that comes in cans or boxes.

 

[evil^milk]

aha! either you don't have time or you're lazy, which is why fast food exists.

also, i'm not sure what you mean by salads, big macs aren't salads!

Ask Raziaar, he's all into avoiding canned chili.

You can probably get them from roy rogers or some rare place. My Uni has a salad bar at the cafe. I get it without dressing, the best way. It's a pity that it's the only guaranteed good food there.

Agreed. I have it my way.

It's like... if you took a shit in a can, sealed it up airtight and put an appetizing image on it, and opened it up at a later date. It's still shit!

you american folk don't know shit what a good burger is.

close to where i live theres a small fast food place, where they make the best burgers around. they are big twice as much as a big mack. the whole burger is made before your eyes, and you can choose between 8 or 10 fresh vegetables and 3 sauces to go with.

ok it is more expensive but, extremely delicious. a big mack tastes like a fried plastic bag...not good.

 

[Dan]

I have heard that burgers which do not claim to be 100% beef are actually much healthier than the 100% beef burgers because they usually use oatmeal as a filler in the meat and that is actually good for you, unlike cow brains and random giblets.

Notice how a lot of the health warnings have Citation Needed on it, and the others are "High doses". Guess what - oxygen is fatal in large doses. Seems like typical anti-science sentiment to me.

You can't judge American burgers based off fast food.

There's tons of restaurants in this country that specialized in burgers and make all sorts of simply amazing burgers.

If you eat bad food but exercise enough, your body will probably become super powerful.

I already knew about the anti-hype.

The others are probably trying to contact The Sun to check if those links are trustworthy or not.

This is complete crap BTW.

Well, I hovered over the pdf link until i realized it was a pdf.

But i'llgive it a click and leave a tab open for when i'm thinking too much and doing nothing - which is most of the time recently.
