TIP FOR TODAY:
Avoid fast food. First of all it is fast. If we actually had to make that meal we might find we just aren't that hungry. Worse is what is in it. The food is manipulated and filled with chemicals from farm and ranch to the time it is placed it that (hopefully) recycled bag. Consider the McNugget. It has 38 ingredients including several that are completely synthetic, butane and at least one known carcinogen.
The ingredients are listed here: Chicken (45%), Coating [Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed, Sunflower), Wheat Flour, Water (8%), Maize Flour, Modified Starch, Raising Agents (Disodium Diphosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Whey Powder (from Milk), Flavour Enhancer (Potassium Chloride), Egg Albumen (Free Range Egg), Ground Pepper, Breadcrumb (Wheat Flour, Salt), Salt, Dextrose, Ground Celery], Water (7%), Potato Starch, Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed, Sunflower), Natural Flavouring (from Free Range Egg), Flavour Enhancer (Potassium Chloride). Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Let's be honest, do you really think you should be eating it if your can't pronounce it or don't know what it is? A better question is, Do you really think that your kids should be eating it?
Have you watched Jamie Oliver's food revolution show? He showed kids how chicken nuggets were made and it made me sick to my stomach! The kids were all grossed out and once the nuggets were cooked they ate them anyways! YUCK! GREAT tip! Thanks again for starting this! I am feeling so good about myself even just starting out!
