    Do you put dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone, in your chicken dishes?

    How about tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you?

    These are just two of the ingredients in a McDonalds Chicken McNugget. Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other 50 percent includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic ingredients.

    Organic Authority helpfully transcribed the full ingredients list provided by McDonalds:

    "White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary).

    Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch.

    Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

    because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color."

    A friend of mine recently had this posted on her facebook. I gave up fast food years ago, but even still, it made me want to vomit looking at what I used to even just occasionally put into my body!

    Not only that, but if you read more on that website, one is left wondering how many other products are made from that same "paste"?  EWW!
