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

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.)

I'll need to back check the information about tilapia.

But I know catfish is an unclean fish in general. All catfishes eat AND drink the wastes of other sea creatures. Only oysters are dirtier than catfishes.

farmraised catfish are fed pellets. they use talipia to keep the tanks clean. So catfish are cleaner than talipia.

I like the taste of Hoki. But McDees fish filets do not taste like Hoki. They taste like something non-fish.

You sent me into flashbacks!

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.

Here's a better representation of how they process chicken carcass:

You mean you did not see the crate in the back that said "Churchill Downs Mystery Meat"?

I will say this I still go to LSJ's when Im in Ohio visiting the family, been going all of my life, and the quality of product is still pretty much the same from when I was young. The problem is that they cook the chicken and the fish in the same oil, so chicken taste like fish, but why you are ordering chicken @ LJS's is beyond me. Now is it healthy, hell no but Im not eating that shit on a daily basis.

The other thing I have noticed is that living in a big city like chicago the fast food is crap no matter what the chain. But if you go to fast food in a rural setting the quality of product is much much better. A double cheeseburger with onion only at McD's in my hometown is 100 times better than anything I've eating even at the rock n roll McD's in chicago. I don't know if its more high volume or what.

My favorite fast food story was a chain in chicago named Rally's. The logo on the bag included this classic line "USDA Graded".......um graded what?

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.

How so? Lard has many times more saturated fat, maybe half as much omega 6, virtually no omega 3, and less monounsaturated fat.

Only olive oil has more monounsaturated than canola oil. Some like sunflower and soybean have more omega 6, but as far as I'm aware all are higher in saturated fat than canola.

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...

You actually believed that silly, fictitious canola oil warning e-mail that did the rounds a few years ago? It was bunk. Canola's great.

My perception of Taco Bell is now skewed. Now to me they're just as bad as McDonalds. I'm thinking that all fast foods are this way now. For cheap eats, guess you get what you pay for.

This may help me to swear off them for good.

I guess that's a positive!

I'm curious, what is better than olive oil?

and extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed and unfiltered).

There is no hot-pressed.

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

Would you consider using sea salt?

Salt is salt is salt. It's all the same. There are different colours, mind. And chunky or refined. It's all just salt though.

MARGARINE. I didn't know anything about canola oil.

I wouldn't have a problem with canola, since it comes from a seed (natural).

Margarine is lab-made.

Ah, I see!

Been years since I had either butter or margarine. Not something ppl really use much here.

Bought one of those 'Beef and Bean' burritos from 711 yesterday and staring right back at me from the front of the package was "TVP - textured vegetable protein... I guess Taco Bell isn't the only one anymore...

filet o fish is best only consumed when intoxicated

Filet 'O Fish... I thought they were okay but heard something the other day that they were just as bad as the rest of MCd's food. The only good thing left from McD now is coffee...
