Why Lovin' the McRib Isn't Heart Smart

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Blink and it's gone. The ephemeral McRib sandwich appears at McDonald's infrequently and only for a limited time. If you haven't indulged in one yet, here's what you're missing: azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80 — those are just three of the 70 ingredients (34 in the bun alone) that go into the BBQ pork sandwich, according to the restaurant's website.

These components are in small enough quantities to be innocuous. But it's still a little disconcerting to know that, for example, azodicarbonamide, a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun. The compound is banned in Europe and Australia as a food additive. (England's Health and Safety Executive classified it as a "respiratory sensitizer" that potentially contributes to asthma through occupational exposure.) The U.S. limits azodicarbonamide to 45 parts per million in commercial flour products, based on analysis of lab testing.


If the chemistry-lab ingredient list isn't enough to put you off the McRib's saucy allure, perhaps the nutrition information will: with 980 mg of sodium (more than half your recommended daily intake) and 10 g of saturated fat, the sandwich is, quite literally, not for the faint of heart.

Pussy.

One package of Ramen noodles has like 850mg of sodium. :lol:

[Godfather]

Wow. 70 ingredients in a sandwich that is nothing but rib and bun is messed up :lol: There shouldn't be more than 7 or 8 in bread, and yet this bun has 34.

That amount of sodium and saturated fat is ridiculous too... the thing is like 5 bites.

Then again. This shouldn't really be a surprise.

Doesn't each package of Ramen have 2 servings in it?

Edit: Yup, each package is 2 servings. 1540mg sodium per package of Ramen.

Really? Don't know...BrB :-k

It does, guess I'm just a fuckin fatty :lol:

How many chemicals are found in one burning refer stick?

How many people have died from smoking weed in the history of mankind? None.

How many people have gotten lung cancer from smoking only weed? None.

How many people die every year from alcohol? 75,000 in the United States alone.

Man invented alcohol, God invented weed. Who are you gonna trust?

No, those are the facts. Look it up.

Weed itself contains no harmful chemicals, until you smoke it, then it contains like 70 different carcinogens.

Worried about the smoke? get a vaporizer.

The McRib is unhealthy? :shock:

The McRib is unhealthy? :shock:

Yeah, who knew fastfood is unhealthy!? Shocker!

[Hal-9000]

Putting any sort of smoke in your body is harmful...not sure on the comparison to salt and fat intake through food though...

Here's a relationship - you gotta smoke a few joints to really enjoy those pseudo rib drippers :lol:


*craving a joint right now!*

[RBP]

Haven't had one in eons. I have kind of lost my taste for McDonald's.

[Hal-9000]

I'll do the once a month pilgrimage....if only to keep those salt and fat readings at a decent level :lol:

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Too busy for breakfast this morning so I haven't had anything to eat all day...maybe I'll grab a couple of McRibs on the way home from work :-k

I'll get the meal, so I'll get fries and a drink too :tup:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Order the fries without salt then

[Hal-9000]

That's one thing I don't get from McDonalds....fries.Not salty enough for me.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Extra salt :tup:

This is all a bunch of shit.

Anything smoked can cause health problems, but cigarettes have nearly a thousand toxic chemicals and pot has no additives.

Pot is also not known to be toxic in the way say, alcohol is. I think we all know how dangerous it can be.

So, if you must have an addiction, pot clearly is the way to go. That, or gambling and whores.
