and this is why I am a vegetarian and a very wary eater in general..

Were you aware of those facts?

Not those specific ones, but honestly look at the ingreidents on hot dogs...or chicken nuggets....I will stick to my salads and garden burgers thank you.

eek! I can understand the big deal about all the other products but what is wrong with the corn that this guy is making a big hoot over?

I'm not sure the big deal is the corn its more that we are so unaware of what we are eating...the general public will eat anything that tastes good...but the majority have absolutely no clue what it really is! I do ocassionaly indulge and play into that..but I do my best to know what I am eating if at all possible.

"If" this had been posted by someone other than a lawyer (specious creatures at best...) and "if" the comments regarding the chemical additives had been accurate (there's a bit of difference between a chemical component of Canola and a derivative of butane), then I might give the blogger some credit.

I agree they're fatty, fried, cholesterol laden, artery clogging and for those reasons alone not good for a person in large doses. Its doubtful that the occasional indulgence will have an impact--or any more of an impact than mercury contamination from tuna eaten on an infrequent basis.

My greatest concern at this time is how animals are raised (usually in unsanitary conditions) and how this contributes to diseases such as bird flu jumping from one species to another. Look for a new article on this topic soon!

Thanks for sharing this article. I sent it to my two sisters who have kids. My nephew lives on fast food cuz his mom works. I never eat it myself and stuff like this is the reason.
