Notes:
Approx. 500 million bushels of corn is turned into high fructose corn syrup every year. One bushel yields 33lbs if HFCS. That makes more than 16 billion lbs of HFCS per year. About the same weight as 1.5 million elephants.
In 1983 Tyson invented the chicken nugget at the request of McDonald's.
As of 2004, McDonald's sold about 4.8 billion nuggets per year
In 1992, chicken surpassed beef as the most popular meat in America.
Possible ingredients in cattle feed:
Chicken manure, cattle manure, chocolate, stale pastry, cement dust, candy, molasses, urea, hooves, feathers, meat scraps, fish meal, pasta, peanut skins, brewery waste, cardboard, corn silage, pesticides
Corn in McDonald's meal:
Soda: 100% corn
Milkshake: 78% corn
Salad dressing: 65%
Chicken nuggets: 56% corn
Cheeseburger: 52% corn
French fries: 23% corn
USDA Organic labeling standards:
100% organic: products contain only certified organic ingredients.
Organic: products must contain at least 95% organic ingredients.
Made with organic ingredients: at least 70% of ingredients must be organic.
Ingesting 5 grams of Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, a form of butane–lighter fluid– made from Petroleum) can kill you. But the government allows food makers to spray a tiny amount directly on food including the nuggets or on the inside of the box "to preserve freshness". Eating a single gram can cause nausea, vomiting, delirious, ringing in ears, or collapse.
Supermarket "Organic" chickens are raised in a 10,000 bird shed. "Free range" meaning there's a door for the chickens to exit–but it isn't opened until they're 5-weeks old, by then too used to the dark to go outside.
And of course all that corn is GMO, courtesy or Monsanto
That's only about half of my notes.
