    I always loved the McRib. Now that I've read this article and know what kind of nasty disgusting stuff is in them....... I still love them. God help me I do love them so. I don't care what's in them. They taste disgustingly good. Like a movie that's so bad that you love it and watch it over and over again.

    This economy sucks, if I can buy frozen chicken breasts for 50 cents each versus three times that for fresh "organic" then the frozen it shall be.

    If I made six figures perhaps it would be a different story but this book will remain the same old story each time you read it because I'll never be able to afford to eat organic everything!

    All I can say is I really like the McRib and I fully intend to enjoy at least one before they stop serving them again. I can easily make 500 calories and 26g of fat fit into my dietary budget. Articles like this one don't scare me off. Yeah the meat thing is weird, but it's not like that's a list of items that are otherwise inedible. Pig stomachs and animal hearts are actually common in a number of cultures, so as long as it tastes good and looks palatable, I'll not going to be turned away. The article really made it clear how much it was reaching just to create a story when they went after the bread ingredients. Those buns are no different than any other white bread bun you'd buy anywhere.

    I would say that is a good thing.
    It would be if these converts weren't all of a sudden "high and mighty" because now they've taken up "healthy" eating.

    I've always avoided processed meats because I'm not a big meat eater and am very very fussy about it, I've bitten into one too many bits of grisle as a child I think! I stopped eating McDonalds when I watched Supersize me. I piled on the pounds by eating far too much chocolate, cream cakes and (mainly veggie) takeaway pizzas.

    Maybe I'm in the minority but I don't preach to people about the unhealthy things they eat. My life choice is to have a more healthy and active lifestyle, if that's not their choice then who am I to judge? I've made the wrong choices in the past, that's why I'm here. And I'm sure I still make the wrong choices sometimes now (I still have nights of binge drinking for example).

    Personally I wouldn't choose to put such processed stuff into my body, but if others want to that's their choice, I won't stop them!

    I never had 1, but you can tell that the sandwich wasn't really ribs. When I eat at any fast food place I normally only get a grilled chicken sandwich or maybe a cheeseburger. But to each their own!

    regardless of the solid write-up, I would still enjoy a McRib if one was put in front of me. still yummy...and I still have to stay away. out of sight, out of mind. the ingredients don't cause me to avoid it. only my personal goals do.

    **DISCLAIMER: of course, I am someone who has previously eaten a dollar bill. while I was eating it (as part of a dare, of course), the other folks were telling me how gross and nasty it was...about how I didn't know where it had been...and suggesting all sorts of seemingly disgusting places that the dollar bill might have been. none of this phased me. I was only concerned with not choking on the bits of dollar bill I was swallowing as I realized it wasn't as easy to eat as the notebook paper I once ate (at times) in school. fortunately, I was able to use four small tubs of fake butter (I forget which kind) to help get the dollar bill pieces down. in short, ingredients don't scare me.

    You need to watch "Fat Head." It's a great documentary showing how bogus the info in "Supersize Me" is. It is quite literally impossible to gain as much weight as he did, if he really ate what he supposedly did. Is fast food healthy? Of course not. But this "Supersize Me" guy was just looking for a quick buck on the tail of dieting trends.

    Yep. I eat balut and dinuguan so this is tame compared to them. You "health" people are funny. Let me guess, you guys got fat eating healthy food right?

    I think it's more false advertising than anything else. I tried a lot of food when I wasn't a vegetarian that most people would "Eww" at, but I'm more disgusting by companies passing off other foods as something else.

    Also, dinuguan is kind of like blood sausage in pudding or stew form, right? I've had blood sausage. Purdy tasty. =D

    NcNuggets and silicone implants have something in common...

    Never tried it because I don't crave it, but I know their chicken nuggets are made from the nastiest stuff, yet I could eat 20-30 of them, easily, without being disgusted at all (not that I've done it in a while, nor do I plan to).

    Also, I love processed foods.

    So there.

    Ehh... I don't eat them because I don't like them. Processed food doesn't scare me though - what do you really think is in any processed meat? Anything they can get away with. *shrug* Its part of the benefit of being able to buy deli lunch meats instead of slaughtering my own animals to make my turkey or ham slices.
