    I agree that the McRib is not a healthy choice for a meal but many of us make a choice because we like the taste to have one on occasion.

    I do not have references to copy and paste but I do believe it is a fact that browning potatoes at high heat will create acrylamide in small doses. After reading the thread I recall learning that in Nutrition 101. Browned potatoes have been around quite a while longer than McD's. Every home made hashbrown, fried potato and onion, oven baked without foil and yes, french fry must contain some acrylamide. Pardon my pun, but this seems like small potatoes compared to genetically modified crops and pesticides.

    I hate the taste of all mcdonald's, other than the egg mcmuffin and hash browns and french fries. And its only the hash browns and fries that give me a a thrill and those are baaaad! So there's no point in going there.

    Men eat them! My husband and my ex-husband both make an annual pilgrimage to McDonald's to get their McRibs. It's something they feel they have to do, even if they don't go to McDonald's any other time of the year.

    Hmmm, I'd almost forgotten it was back. I may have to have one and some of their fake fries for lunch:)

    How many ingredients are there?
    At face value, the sandwich contains just pork, onions, and pickle slices slathered in barbecue sauce and laid out on a bun. But the truth is, there are roughly 70 ingredients. The bun alone contains 34, says TIME's Melnick. In addition to chemicals like ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80, the most egregious may be azodicarbonamide - "a flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufactur[ing] of foamed plastics like gym mats the and soles of shoes." According to McDonald's own ingredient list, the bun also includes calcium sulfate and ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, among other chemicals.


    Ooof. What's the meat made of?
    Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue" that helps bind the reshaped meat together. 500 calories and 26 grams of fat.

    Nasty!

    you have been warned.


    Oh for heaven's sake here: http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g264/crystalinda/mcds.jpg

    Don't they have those warning signs at every restaurant? I see them at almost every chain restaurant I've been to.

    They probably do, I'm sure its mostly a precautionary measure, still scary tho!
