Poll: "Ingredients in a Chicken McNugget" or "You Want me to Eat What Now?"

[Altorin]

you can't count "corn fed chicken" as a derivative corn product.

however, everything else is correct and shocking.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I've always loved how they were called "Mc Nuggets" rather than "chicken nuggets."
Kinda suggests there's not a whole lot of chicken in them...

 

[VicunaBlue]

Oh my god! There are some chemicals with big names in our food? SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

The real question that I'm asking here is, do the benefits of convenience and a cost that is cheap at the register really outweigh the actual toll that the industrial food system has taken on us?

The answer is yes, yes it does.

I would also like to point out that without the "Industrial food system" this planet would not be able to support the current human population.

Because it tastes good. Now stop overthinking things and get back to whatever you do.

That's exactly why people aren't living beyond a hundred.

Yes, let's all live past one hundred, where we're most likely in constant pain or illness, barely managing on medical care, and too senile to comprehend basic conversation.

It doesn't work that way. A certain culture in Japan, widely regarded to have the healthiest diet in the world, frequently lived to be well over a hundred, with very little mental decay. Unfortunately, now that they have total access to the outside world, parents (who only eat the original diet) are now expected to outlive their children.

You see, you ARE what you eat.

Then I guess you're a dick? My point was not mental decay, it was physical decay. Life SUCKS, at such an old age. When you get there, try eating an apple for me, you'll find out how crappy it is.

Couldn't resist, could you?

A hilariously healthy diet with normal amounts of exercise keeps you fit and able well into your nineties or even hundreds. However, North America, Australia and Europe do not have hilariously healthy diets and lifestyles, they're normally hilariously bad. Thus, we start to run out of steam in our sixties or seventies.

I'm aiming for the eighties, myself. Care to join me?

Huh? I was under the impression that the industrial food system was rather wasteful...

*loling* No....No I couldn't. My response though: How would YOU know? Are you ridiculously unhealthy and getting tempted by everything with food stamped on it? You shouldn't claim facts about things if you're not one of those in need. Take example from Saint Anthony of Padua, he chose to live in poverty so that he could better understand the people he preached to. As for myself, I'm going to the hundred mark. And quite frankly, I DON'T CARE about my eating habits. Stress is an important health concern too you know, if I had to take out a calculator every time I were about to eat something, I'd get an aneurysm.

Saying I shouldn't claim facts when I don't have first-hand experience is stupid. Mind-numbingly stupid. You've immediately discounted evolution, history, astronomy, etc. I read things from several books by qualified people who say this stuff is fact, so I believe them.

And going for the hundred mark - Sure, but are you going to get there with youthful energy? Because you're not going to get there either way unless you pay attention to what you eat.

And who has time to count calories? The simple method to eating well: If it is made only with ingredients you can pronounce, and isn't greasy, it's good for you. End of.

The more complex method involves making conscious efforts to include a balance of carbs (fruits, veggies, breads) with proteins and fats (dairy, meat and alternatives) while limiting junk.

Gee... so freaking hard.

Also, eating well helps reduce stress, because your body has the ammunition to fight it (chickpeas and hummus are your friend).

Finger-lickin' good!

Actually, I have no idea why we eat this stuff. Because it's convenient and fast and (somewhat) cheap? Or because of ignorance? Or both? We're fairly stupid. I never bothered looking up what they were made of, and chances are I may still eat them in the future.

Viewing first part: *clap* *clap* *clap* Wooooowwwww.... Incredible. I've said this before to a friend but I guess I'll be making this point again. The point came from me arguing that a clean headshot would hurt, he argued that he knew a neurosurgeon that claimed a clean headshot would not hurt. I said: "Has SHE been shot in the head?". You've really just dulled me with that one.

Viewing 2nd part: No, of course not. My youthful energy will run out on me, I know, but the point was stress, not alertness, heart attacks kill more that chicken nuggets you know.

Viewing 3rd part: Then go eat some poison ivy you ignorant jerk.

Viewing 4th part: "Carbs" is another thing I dislike among people. I've never paid attention to that, if it's ever listed, on any food items. Such a fat saying. If you say that word, watch out. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want, and I can tell you: I'm underweight. And completely healthy(If underweight isn't counted).

Viewing 5th part(lots of parts!): Are you TRYING to get me banned?

Viewing 6th part: Smooth. Food helps your brain? Never knew that I could instantly lose any and all stress from grades or life by just chowing down on some celery. If eating celery would make you not eat fat, then nobody would be fat. It's not because of what you eat, it's because of you're daily lifestyle.

People eat chicken nuggets because THEY TASTE GOOD.

What about caffeine? A pinch of caffeine can kill a man. Only a teaspoon of pure caffeine can kill a cow. Just because its deadly in certain amounts doesn't mean its wrong.
