Supposedly there are 38 ingredients in a McNugget from McDonald's! Yikes...
The ones derived from corn include (taken from The Omnivore's Dilemma):
- corn-fed chicken
- modified cornstarch (to bind the meat)
- mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (keep fats and water from separating)
- dextrose
- lecithin
- chicken broth (to restore flavor)
- yellow corn flower
- cornstarch
- vegetable shortening
- partially hydrogenated corn oil
- citric acid
- some wheat in batter

OMG. How can you feed this to your kids or yourself?
I don't even enjoy looking at it anymore so its really not hard to pass on eating it. I guess the more educated you make yourself on where your food came from the easier it is to pass up this kind of shit.
I once heard that you can save a McDonald's burger for a year and it wont change color or shape. What do you think of that? Wanna try it?
