> According to the Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives, one gram of TBHQ can cause “nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.”
I tuned out here. Unless a McRib has TBHQ in quantities approaching anything like a gram, this tidbit is pointless scaremongering. People aren't getting delirious from eating these things, and water has dosages that'd give you those symptoms too.
I'm no fan of McDonalds food, but there are plenty of legitimate arguments to make against it.
I didn't take it to mean that the McRib had a gram of TBHQ, just that is what had been used in testing. I don't think most of the general public need to be any more afraid of the McRib than they already are :)
I know the McRib doesn't have a gram. The article included it - without any indication that it contains probably thousands of times less than a gram - to make it sound scary.
IMHO , it's not even that good ( tasted it in Montréal with poutine fries a few years ago). In France we get the CBO (chicken/bacon/ognion) , dont know if it exists elsewhere but in my opinion it's the best Mc sandwich ever, the only downside is Mc sandwiches in Frances are smaller than american ones :( .
looks good ! is it the same sauce as the deluxe ? another best seller in France is the 280 for 280g. Not a big fan , but that's the biggest sandwich avaible here.
Ate two in Denver a couple of weeks ago. At least in Denver, if you buy the McRib "value meal", you can get a second McRib sandwich for $1. They got me on the margin.
McRibs are at least as bizarre as the article says, in my opinion. I'm also going to use the phrase "enjoy your symptom" at work, if I possibly can.
Ironic that an article hiding under the guise of promoting healthier diet wallows in the gross out factor of the use of organ meat. Argue that TBHQ is bad, that the processing methods are yucky, but focusing on the use of tripe? 2 million years of evolution laughs at your squeamishness.
