How often do your kids eat fast food nuggets? Realistically, we are parents. We don't know everything. We make mistakes and that's OK. Now is the time to better ourselves and learn what to keep our kids (and ourselves) away from. The more we know, the more we can do to protect ourselves, kids, grandkids, ect..
Alright, lets get to the point now. When I fry up chicken, I use chicken breast, breadcrumbs, eggs and olive oil. Not that frying food is necessarily the healthiest choice but it's quite an improvement than what the fast food industry has to offer.
Only half of a fat food chicken nugget is actually chicken. The other half is a large percentage of corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and other completely synthetic ingredients. These unnecessary ingredients include:
Dimethylpolysiloxane, which is an anti-foaming agent made of silicone that is also used in Silly Putty and cosmetics.
Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), which is a chemical preservative and a form of butane.
Symptoms of just one gram of this are nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse. Five grams of TBHQ can kill you.
And pulverized chicken skin and mechanically reclaimed meat.
You should be aware that parts of the nugget do not come from a field or farm at all! In fact, they come from a petroleum plant. And the word "plant", does not mean the pretty green stuff that provides us with food and clean air.
These ingredients effect your health and your length of life.
Will you think twice before letting your kids eat another happy meal?
