McDonald’s Uses Worm Meat Fillers But Can Legally Call It 100% Beef - NY Meta McDonald’s Uses Worm Meat Fillers But Can Legally Call It 100% Beef. Large companies have been the subject of rumors that they substitute unusual or unethical substances in their products, usually to decrease costs. McDonald’s is not immune to such claims. McDonald’s has been accused of using everything from worms to cow eyeballs in its burgers. Dating far back to at least 1978, there have been rumors that McDonald’s restaurants use earthworms in their hamburgers. The fact that McDonald’s uses cow eyeballs and worm fillers does not stop them from legally using the claim that they served 100% beef. McDonald’s then ships the beef to their grinding facility in Oak Brook, Illinois where they then take the ground worm filler and add it to their “100% beef patties”. McDonald’s has also been accused of using mutant laboratory meat, and pig fat their milkshakes and ice cream.

Electrical Safety: The Fatal Current Strange as it may seem, most fatal electric shocks happen to people who should know better. Here are some electro-medical facts that should make you think twice before taking that last chance. It's The Current That Kills Offhand it would seem that a shock of 10,000 volts would be more deadly than 100 volts. But this is not so! While any amount of current over 10 milliamps (0.01 amp) is capable of producing painful to severe shock, currents between 100 and 200 mA (0.1 to 0.2 amp) are lethal. From a practical viewpoint, after a person is knocked out by an electrical shock it is impossible to tell how much current has passed through the vital organs of his body. The Physiological Effects of Electric Shock The chart shows the physiological effects of various currents. Danger - Low Voltage It is common knowledge that victims of high-voltage shock usually respond to artificial respiration more readily that the victims of low-voltage shock.

Why is Big Food Promoting Death on Their Packages? By Truthstream Media It was bad enough when it was just nutritionally void, genetically modified, and filled with dangerous additives and other excitotoxic and potentially carcinogenic chemicals... but now we're literally going to shape our food like little Satan heads and label it "demons" too?

Litotes In rhetoric, litotes (/ˈlaɪtətiːz/,[1] US /ˈlɪtətiːz/ or /laɪˈtoʊtiːz/) is a figure of speech in which understatement is employed for rhetoric effect,[2] principally via double negatives.[3][4] For example, rather than saying that something is attractive (or even very attractive), one might merely say it is "not unattractive". The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Dutch and French. They are features of Old English poetry and of the Icelandic sagas and are a means of much stoical restraint.[6] The word litotes is derived from the Greek word litos meaning "plain, small or meager".[7] George Orwell complained about overuse of the 'not un...' construction in his essay "Politics and the English Language". Biblical litotes[edit] Classical litotes[edit] The first time this word is mentioned is in a letter from Cicero in 56 B.C. In Old Norse, there were several types of litotes that got the same point across. Litotes and Ethos[edit] Examples[edit] Other languages[edit] Notes[edit]

Free Science Videos and Lectures: Free Education Online is Possible! Domino’s, McDonald’s, & Wendy’s Are All Feeding You A Chemical Used In Silly Putty Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: January 26, 2014 – Polydimethylsiloxane, sounds tasty doesn’t it? Domino’s Pizza, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s think it is at least. The chemical has been stirring up some discussion recently due to its appearance in fast-food menu items. The FDA approved chemical is classified as “non-toxic,” even though it is non-biodegradable and its commercial use in breast implants has decreased due to “safety concerns.” Sec. 176.200 Defoaming agents used in coatings The defoaming agents described in this section may be safely used as components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food, subject to the provisions of this section.

What's so Great about D? Chick-fil-A proudly offers chicken with MSG and toxic chemicals (NaturalHealth365) If you’ve ever seen Chick-fil-A’s advertisements or billboards, you’ll find a clever and cute message enticing you to eat more chicken all the while insinuating that beef is bad for you. They also offer low calorie, low carb, and low fat meals touting their use of “fresh, quality ingredients.” In 2014, the restaurant chain announced they would work with suppliers over the next several years to remove antibiotics in their chicken supply. According to the public statement, they have already converted more than 20 percent of their poultry supply. Chick-fil-A is proud of their new strict auditing process to verify their suppliers are “never to directly administer antibiotics.” Loaded with dozens of harmful chemicals, Chick-fil-A’s ‘antibiotic-free’ chickens won’t make a difference on public health. Some of these chemicals are known to be highly toxic: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) – a flavor enhancer. Food & Nutrition Natural Health 365 Read Some of Our Most Popular Articles

Between Borders » A4 vs US Letter Ever downloaded a document or received a file from a friend only to have it print out badly? There are lots of potential causes of such problems: different typefaces available to the creator and the printer; different operating systems and different versions of the same operating systems exposing limitations in supposedly cross-platform standards; different printer engines, especially when crossing between ink-jet and laser; and so on. An oft-overlooked cause of problems, however, is different paper sizes. When people in the US and Canada reach for a sheet of paper to write or print on, chances are they reach for a piece of Letter-sized paper (also known as US Letter), measuring 8.5˝ by 11˝. A quick conversion between inches and millimetres shows the two sizes aren’t all that different: And a scale representation of each page size reinforces the closeness of the two paper sizes. Which raises the question, why the difference at all? A4 Described A0 sheets of paper are 841mm by 1189mm.

By the way, the principal use of this hazardous chemical is in the production of plastics and synthetic leathers. Food & Nutrition

The 4 Worst Fast Food ‘Ingredients’ They Don’t Tell You About by Anthony GucciardiNatural Society From breast implant chemicals to laxatives Remember back when Burger King was found to be secretly selling horse meat? It sounded concerning at the time, but the reality is that horse meat may be the least of your worries when it comes to dining out on fast food. Here are 4 of the absolute worst fast food ‘ingredients’ that you have likely never been told about: 1. Nothing is more appetizing than chowing down on some artificial breast implant chemicals. “…the fast-food chain makes this popular menu item with the chemical preservative tBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product. Unsurprisingly, the McDonald’s in Britain does not include this chemical in their McNugget lineup. 2. Wendy’s Frosty may bring back great memories, however the list of chemicals behind the drink will likely incite something much less nostalgic. 3. The troubling chemical is one of the 70 ingredients that compromise the ‘pork’ in the McRib sandwich. 4.

Top 20 Dangerous Foods You Absolutely Must Avoid Photo credit: bigstock Everyone knows the foods that are healthy and those that are not, right? Yet, there are still a lot of those foods on the store shelves that are being advertised as the “healthy option”, but really are far for being a decent choice. In fact, some of the worst offenders are filled with ingredients that, on top of being unhealthy, keep those inches on your waistline and won’t let you take off those extra pounds. Those little bags of popcorn are just so convenient and easy to use. First, let’s start with the bag itself, which is lined with a chemical called PFOA, or perfluorooctanoic acid. The popcorn itself doesn’t appear to be GMO, but you can’t be sure since there are no labeling requirements. Last is that “butter flavor.” There is no need to buy microwave popcorn when it is SO easy to make your own at home. Continue to Page 2

Junk Food Encoded in Children's DNA and Beyond New study ponders impact of Western food and GMOs on posterity's genes... Heather CallaghanActivist Post Through the emerging information from epigenetics - the study of environmental exposure on genes - it becomes apparent that we are not the body equivalent to Las Vegas. What happens to us doesn't stay with us - it moves on. It's not so much that disease moves on, but a "poorly trained" immune system does, according to a unique new study in Nutrition Journal. It starts with inflammation from the Western diet and an infinite domino effect begins.... An excerpt from the abstract of "Fast Food Fever: reviewing the impacts of the Western diet on immunity": Detailed attention is given to the dietary impact on the gut microbiome and the mechanisms by which our poor dietary choices are encoded into our gut, our genes, and are passed to our offspring. On page 4: What is perhaps of larger concern is that the harmful effects of diet can actually stretch across generations. The authors conclude:
