    According to testing there isn’t much chicken in fast food chicken

    News! No much chicken in fast food chicken dishes, more dramatic readings of Yelp restaurant reviews

    This won’t come as a surprise to many people, but according to testing by Organic Authority, there isn’t much chicken in “fast-food chicken”.

    The article details 35 ingredients that are present in a single chicken nugget from McDonald’s, including dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent used in Silly Putty and cosmetics, and…

    …a heaping spoonful of tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), which is a chemical preservative and a form of butane (AKA lighter fluid). One gram of TBHQ can cause “nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse,” according to A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives. Five grams of TBHQ can kill you.

    Sprinkle on thirteen other corn-derived ingredients, and you’re only about twenty shy as many ingredients as a single chicken nugget from McDonald’s. And you were using pulverized chicken skin and mechanically reclaimed meat for your chicken, right?

    I’ve eaten these things but thankfully was protected by a large amount of alcohol in my system at the time. That’s why I’m so darn healthy now!

    How to Choose a Bottle of Wine is an entertaining flowchart. It takes into account such things “are you drinking alone”, “is this a bachelor party?” and whether you ordered your dinner from a window.


    The New York Post just ran an article named “How Portland has us Licked!” The author is an eating machine, covering Whiffies Fried Pies, Perierra Creperie, Salt & Straw, What’s the Scoop, Tasty n Sons, and Lincoln.


    Finally, I’ve been covering dramatic readings of Yelp reviews. These may be the best yet.

    You’ve gotta love Yelp
