I believe I've eaten Taco Bell once in the last year. I usually go to Micey D's for breakfast, but I avoid the ammonia-treated burgers, and the last time I had Chicken McNuggets they tasted like cardboard. I then found out that they use special machines to extract everything they can from the chicken carcass except the bone and puree it into a pink paste.

So now it appears that I have to avoid any chicken products at fast food restaurants that aren't actual chicken parts like legs, breasts, or wings.

...not to mention the AMMONIA that you consume, used to bleach that pink chicken.

I ws sorta trippin,:embarassed: i only eat taco bell cause the shells are crunchy and i can get a snack for less than a dollar...but even the beef in those chub rolls at the wal-mart and kroger are probably the same as in mc d's and every other chain, sad to say....

I would like a pizza hut pizza crust and sauce (the best ever!) with papa johns toppings, they have the cheese which is slightly sour........: very digestible!:

Actually, that isn't true. As long as it isn't hydrogenated and doesn't contain preservatives, lard is a very healthy fat.

Personally, I would rather deal with something that (if consumed in EXCESS) may fatten me, than something that is created in a laboratory and only a molecule or two shy of being plastic.

...then years later wonder where that cancer came from...

I know what you mean, but there are TONS of things we eat/ingest/use that are only an ATOM or two away from something totally different. Prime example--water is H2O, hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, a difference of only one O atom. I can assure you that you sure as hell don't want to drink hydrogen peroxide.

Fuck it I'm just gonna eat lettuce and walnuts from here on.

Lying ass food products!

I don't eat pig/swine/boar at all! Therefore, I'm not messing with pork lard.

End of!

Fine. Eat what you want. My point is...lard is not poison.

In fact, it's healthier than industrially processed fats like canola oil.

MEMO: Olive oil is THE healthiest fatty oil of all-times!

A few vegans once said to use mushrooms as a substitution for beef.

really? that seems rather extream? I mean there are many things I would not want to eat like say an old shoe or a magic marker but I would eat one of them long befor I ate dog poo!

I'll eat dehydrated uranium laced meat substitute if it tastes good...

MSG, salt, and pork lard happen to be my three favorite foods.

Would you consider using sea salt?

If sea salt came in a big container for 35 cents a pop, sure.

Just as good as that mushroom.

Wonder what the fish at Long John Silver's is made of.

It would blow your mind. I doubt it's just one thing, considering all these little fast food discoveries. This is why I'm glad my dad stopped entertaining fast food so many years ago. We support local eateries. It's interesting being on the outside of these places and finding out what's REALLY in the food.

.... or lack thereof.

From their website:

Fish (Alaska Pollock, Hoki, Hake or Haddock), White Corn Meal (Enriched with Niacin, Iron,

Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin), Rice Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Modified Food Starch,

Soybean Oil.

That's a lot less horrible than I expected.

Filet-O-Fish is real fish, it is Alaskan pollock or hoki.

the name was once rumored to be such ( Filet-O-Fish) as a loophole because it was not fish. But it is fish.

Well, first of all, it helps if you define what you mean by "better." Are you talking about lipid profile? Nutritional value? Second, better for what purpose? For cooking? For cold use (like in a salad dressing)?

For example, you wouldn't want to cook at high temperatures with olive oil - especially extra virgin olive oil. It's comparatively delicate - and not very stable at high temperatures. For that, you're better off using animal fats like lard, tallow, goose or chicken fat, or butter. About the only plant-based fat that is stable at higher temperatures is coconut oil.

Because the animal fats tend to be solid at room temperature (and so don't mix readily), extra virgin olive oil or expeller-pressed sesame or peanut oil are good for cold use. Heating any kind of vegetable oil (excluding coconut oil) to a high temperature is bad.

As vehicles for fat-soluble vitamins, animal fats are best. Why? Well, because we are animals. The saturated fats in animal fat help maintain the proper structure and stiffness in human cell membranes and tissues - and perform a lot of other vital functions in the body.

I do not have any "industrial" fats in my home. Everything is natural. Lard, goose fat, butter, coconut oil (expeller pressed) and extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed and unfiltered).

These days, Filet-O-Fish is Alaskan pollock AND New Zealand hoki.

As opposed to that non-vital wheat gluten.

ho carp! I agree with tyt! But it is a fish. Now you want to talk about a fish NO ONE SHOULD eat...that is the tilapia (which the farm raised ones eats catfish poop)

But anyway it is an UGLY fish? one of the uglyist fish out there is the scorpion fish and it is yummy! as is the moray eel! another fish that is very good eating that some would call ugly is the trigger fish.

Now back to the video: the only issues on can take with using the hoki is that is may be being over fished. I hope not. It is possible to lose a species (like the carrier pigeon or the Carolina parakeet were once plentiful but are now extinct.)
