McDonald’s Uses Worm Meat Fillers But Can Legally Call It 100% Beef - NY Meta McDonald’s Uses Worm Meat Fillers But Can Legally Call It 100% Beef. Large companies have been the subject of rumors that they substitute unusual or unethical substances in their products, usually to decrease costs. McDonald’s is not immune to such claims. McDonald’s has been accused of using everything from worms to cow eyeballs in its burgers. Dating far back to at least 1978, there have been rumors that McDonald’s restaurants use earthworms in their hamburgers. The fact that McDonald’s uses cow eyeballs and worm fillers does not stop them from legally using the claim that they served 100% beef. McDonald’s then ships the beef to their grinding facility in Oak Brook, Illinois where they then take the ground worm filler and add it to their “100% beef patties”. McDonald’s has also been accused of using mutant laboratory meat, and pig fat their milkshakes and ice cream.

‘Ministerie wist al een jaar van Q-koortsbesmettingen’ Foto NRC / Maarten Hartman Binnenland Het ministerie van Landbouw wist al een jaar voordat geitenbedrijven geruimd werden vanwege de Q-koorts welke bedrijven besmet waren geraakt. Het aantal Q-koortsbesmettingen was mogelijk lager uitgevallen als het ministerie die informatie eerder had gedeeld. Dat blijkt uit een reconstructie van Nieuwsuur. De toenmalig verantwoordelijke ministers Ab Klink en Gerda Verburg hebben altijd volgehouden dat er pas eind 2009 een laboratoriumtest beschikbaar was om Q-koorts op te sporen. Volgens Nieuwsuur liet het ministerie al in de zomer van 2008 tests uitvoeren waaruit bleek dat bedrijven besmet waren met Q-koorts. Er is veel kritiek geweest op het handelen van Klink en Verburg. Nationale ombudsman Alex Brenninkmeijer zei onlangs dat het gepast zou zijn als Klink en Verburg hun excuses zouden aanbieden aan Q-koortspatiënten.

Why is Big Food Promoting Death on Their Packages? By Truthstream Media It was bad enough when it was just nutritionally void, genetically modified, and filled with dangerous additives and other excitotoxic and potentially carcinogenic chemicals... but now we're literally going to shape our food like little Satan heads and label it "demons" too?

'Ongezond leven moet geld kosten' | nu.nl/geldzaken DEN HAAG - De overheid zou accijnzen moeten verhogen om zo gezond gedrag te stimuleren. Foto: Thinkstock Dat schrijft de Taskforce Beheersing Zorguitgaven in een vrijdag gepubliceerd rapport in opdracht van het ministerie van Volksgezondheid. Ook zou de huisarts onder het eigen risico moeten vallen, moeten mensen meer zelf gaan betalen en wordt de eigen bijdrage voor langdurige zorg vermogensafhankelijk. De taskforce wil dat mensen meer eigen verantwoordelijkheid nemen om gezond te blijven. De taskforce is dan ook blij met de aangekondigde verhoging van de accijnzen op tabak en alcohol. Nadenken De taksforce vermoedt ook dat mensen beter nadenken over een huisartsbezoek als dat onder het eigen risico valt. In het Lenteakkoord is al afgesproken dat het eigen risico in de zorg naar 350 euro gaat, maar daar bleef de huisarts buiten vallen. Gratis Dat betekent dat een bezoek aan de huisarts gratis blijft.

McDonald’s Japan Probes Tooth in Fries, Cargill Nuggets - Bloomberg Business (Bloomberg) -- McDonald’s Corp.’s Japan business said today a human tooth was found in fries, and plastics in chicken nuggets and sundae, in a series of food-safety issues that happened in the past six months. The affected nuggets, supplied by Cargill Inc.’s Thai unit, were sold at two outlets in Japan, including one in Tokyo, according to spokesman Takashi Hasegawa. The fast-food chain is seeking new nugget suppliers including in Brazil, Hidehito Hishinuma, a director at the company, said at a briefing held in Tokyo today. “We have already begun an investigation into this matter,” Bruce Blakeman, Singapore-based vice president of corporate affairs for Cargill Asia Pacific, said in an e-mailed statement. Cargill, based in Minneapolis, will work closely with McDonald’s as its investigation progresses, he said. The company doesn’t plan to halt production and sale of the food items after plastic objects were found in chicken nuggets, Hishinuma said.

6 Ways That Food Is Being Used as a Weapon Against Us By Activist Post Hungry people will do anything for food, which means that those who have control over food can use it as leverage. In 1974, Henry Kissinger suggested using food as a weapon to induce targeted population reduction in a previously classified 200-page report, National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests. The primary tactic to be applied is that food aid would be withheld from developing nations until they submitted to birth control policies: There is also some established precedent for taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. So, food was to be used as just another method of imperial colonization to force countries to conform their policies to those desired by the controllers. Here are six ways food is being used to wage war against the population: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Weather undeniably affects food access and food costs.
Domino’s, McDonald’s, & Wendy’s Are All Feeding You A Chemical Used In Silly Putty Source: www.collective-evolution.com | Original Post Date: January 26, 2014 – Polydimethylsiloxane, sounds tasty doesn’t it? Domino’s Pizza, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s think it is at least. The chemical has been stirring up some discussion recently due to its appearance in fast-food menu items. The FDA approved chemical is classified as “non-toxic,” even though it is non-biodegradable and its commercial use in breast implants has decreased due to “safety concerns.” Sec. 176.200 Defoaming agents used in coatings The defoaming agents described in this section may be safely used as components of articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding food, subject to the provisions of this section.

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2015) Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean “dead zones,” and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged. As Andersen approaches leaders in the environmental movement, he increasingly uncovers what appears to be an intentional refusal to discuss the issue of animal agriculture, while industry whistleblowers and watchdogs warn him of the risks to his freedom and even his life if he dares to persist.

Hoogopgeleide krijgt betere behandeling bij kanker | nu.nl/algemeen AMSTERDAM - Hoogopgeleide kankerpatiënten hebben betere overlevingskansen dan mensen met kanker die lager zijn opgeleid. Foto: ANP Zij krijgen vaak een ingrijpendere medische behandeling, die bovendien vaker gericht is op genezing. Epidemioloog Mieke Aarts van het kankercentrum onderzocht de gegevens van ruim 250 duizend patiënten die tussen 1990 en 2008 kanker kregen. Ze ontdekte dat laagopgeleide patiënten met prostaatkanker vaker hormoonbehandelingen en gewone, uitwendige bestraling krijgen, terwijl hoogopgeleiden vaker geopereerd worden en inwendige bestraling krijgen. Van de laagopgeleide mannen met prostaatkanker werd twintig procent geopereerd, tegenover dertig procent van de hoogopgeleiden. Geen behandeling Bij de behandeling van slokdarmkanker was een vergelijkbare trend zichtbaar, concludeerde de onderzoeker. Van alle hoogopgeleide mannen die een vorm van kanker kregen, was de helft na vijf jaar nog in leven.
