WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY EATING? 7 REALLY GROSS FACTS!

I dread it when someone comes up to me and start preaching about how deadly fast foods are, and how much damage they are causing to my body. Well, the easy way out to handle the “haters” is to turn the other way and start walking away from their preaching. Guess what? I came across a set of deadly facts of fast food and had no way to escape but to stay and cringe at the disgusting facts. After reading those super disgusting facts, I am more than delighted to share or rather ‘preach’ on the unlikely facts that I have recently discovered! So here goes!

One of my favorite foods in fast food restaurants are chicken nuggets. So you can imagine my horror when I saw this fact! Apparently chicken nuggets are not exactly chicken but more like sludge of pink paste, through a chemical process, causing excessive bacteria, washed in ammonia and re-flavored with more chemicals and dyed! *WHAT?!* And I thought they were regular chicken nuggets made by chicken alone. Next time think carefully before you order a plate of chicken nuggets, people!

Did you know McDonald’s milkshake uses a ridiculous concoction of 50 chemicals, such as ethyl acetate, phenethyl alcohol, and solvent to imitate the taste and flavor of real strawberry. What’s wrong with using real strawberries? Why do they use imitations? *Oh god why?*

This was by far the most disgusting fact of all, an average fast food patron, consumes about 12 pubic hairs in a year. *awkward silence*

Oh oh, here’s another one. A can of coke contains 10 spoons of sugar, clearly more than what your body need daily. Imagine consuming 10 spoons of sugar in one go. You would probably vomit all those out in a split of seconds. Then you probably are thinking, how am I keeping my can of coke down if that’s the case? Well, thanks to another additive named phosphoric acid, that cuts the level of sugar, which keeps you from vomiting after drinking a can of coke.

Guess what? If we opt for salad as the healthiest choice, imagine the actual fact fast food healthiest salad is not exactly healthy. The salad is packed of anti-freeze’s chemical compound that causes eye and skin irritation. *Ugh. Not so healthy after all are we?*

Woah! This knocked my socks off! Apparently any cheese products that are labeled as processed cheese are only 49% of cheese and the rest are simply chemicals which has nothing to do with cheese at all! What a disappointment. *sigh*

One last gross fact before I sit in a corner and start weeping, apparently peanut butter contains 30 insects fragments as well as rodent hair per 100 gram which is also shockingly approved by FDA!
So, just be more considerate when it comes to make food choices, because you wouldn’t know what you are really eating! Till then, adiyos!
