Just to clarify some things: Sodium acid pyrophosphate is not a food colour, it is a buffer for controlling pH, Citric Acid is in oranges, lemons etc., Dextrose is not a salt, it is a sugar.Ralph wrote:Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric acid and dimethylpolysiloxane) and salt (silicoaluminate, dextrose, potassium iodide).
At a glance, many of the ingredients above are hazardous to human health, including those which are genetically modified (canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil), hydrogenated (soybean oil), chemically preserved and antifoaming (THBQ, citric acid, dimethylpolysiloxane), and artificially colored (sodium acid pyrophosphate).
How many people do you think have an awareness that McDonald’s french fries contain this many ingredients? hopefully it will help wake up more people to the difference between your artificial food and real food.
What a very bad idea in Cheltenham town centre.

Since McDonald’s knows you’d never eat a pig heart, tongue, or stomach on your plate, they decided instead to grind up these ingredients and put them into the form of a typical rib. That way, consumers won’t know what they’re putting into their mouths.
So in other words, it’s not actually a rib. Instead, it’s a combination of unwanted animal scraps processed down in major facilities and ‘restructured’ into the form of a rib. Then, 70 additives, chemicals, fillers, and GMO ingredients later, you have a ‘meat’ product that tastes like ribs.
Better quality meat than Waitrose
I think you'll find the meat process over here is totally different to that country you reside in. Same with a lot of their food chain. Try a little harder next time yeah?

But I am reminded in the Bhagavad Gita (2,20) Krishna says :
"For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain."
(2,11)
"While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead"
