Weird fast food ingredients...
If high calorie content, excessive fat, or too much sodium aren't enough to keep you from eating fast food, maybe this article will. It outlines many of the ingredients in fast food that we don't think about, because they aren't staring up at us from our Big Mac box. But even if you can't see them, they're there:
titanium dioxide: used in products like paint and sunscreen
azodicarbonamide: a respiratory sensitizer banned in Australia
propylene glycol: used as a pesticide
sodium phosphate: a foaming agent
dimethylpolysiloxane: used in caulk and adhesives
MSG
hidden trans fats Though the FDA calls these additives "generally regarded as safe" for human consumption, the fact remains that they aren't food.
Yuck! I am eating slow from now on!

I rarely eat at those restaurants. In fact, one of the things I look for before eating out is a drive thru window. If the place has one, I don't go in it. Besides, I wouldn't want to run into Billy Dennis.
BTW, it is safer to eat the box the Big Mac came in than the Big Mac.
My sentiments exactly PA...I think I'll stick with the PFC! (my last post)at least I'll know what's in it and I washed my hands!
Doesn't Billy just go to Walgreens for nuts,soda and chapstick?
