Day 354- Homemade School Lunches Get Searched

Here is a pretty disturbing article that I read on Natural News. Imagine spending the time to put together a healthy lunch for your children that they will eat, just to have your children told at school that what their parents packed for them was not "healthy" enough. Not only does that take authority away from the parents, it also gives them incorrect information. If their homemade lunch is not good enough for them, and they are taught that school lunches are a healthier option, then they are going to begin to associate processed foods as healthy meals. It seems to me that it is somewhat of a slap in the face for all those that have been fighting to change lunches in schools.

Here is the article from Natural News:

U.S. schoolchildren now subjected to sack lunch searches by government agents who enforce nutritional insanity

"A local elementary school in North Carolina is searching the homemade lunches of school children with the goal of forcing children to ditch their nutritious, home-made meals and learn to consume pasteurized, homogenized USDA-approved cow's milk and chemically-laced processed meats that promote cancer.

This is what happened, as reported in the Carolina Journal yesterday:

"A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious."

The paper goes on to report:

"The girl's turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day."

Hold on a sec there, partner. There are AGENTS inspecting lunch boxes of schoolchildren?

You thought the TSA was bad? Get ready for school lunch pat-downs!

That's the first highly disturbing part of this entire story. See, the corrupt state is trying to take over everything, including the American family. Telling little Johnny that his mom packed an "inferior" lunch is one way of teaching children that they should worship the state instead of their parents. It's entirely consistent with the actions of pathetic child health sellouts such as California Governor Jerry Brown who recently signed a law giving 12-year-old children the right to "consent" to being injected with Gardasil vaccines as long as they don't tell their parents.

Parents are useless. The state is God.Write that down, boys and girls, as you'll be tested on it later. And please don't tell all the TSA perverts that new jobs are opening up involving searching the sacks of elementary school children, or they'll quit the TSA in droves and line up to be part of anything that might involve touching little children.

In North Carolina, the homemade school lunches that don't meet USDA guidelines are then "enhanced" with what the state calls the "missing items" (the processed meat laced with chemicals, or the dead, pasteurized milk, produced with Bovine Growth Hormones). Parents are then billed (fined) for the additional cost of these "missing" items.

In other words, the state is forcing parents to buy cancer-causing processed foods and feed them to their children!

"What got me so mad," said the girl's mother, as reported in Carolina Journal.com, "...is, number one, don't tell my kid I'm not packing her lunch box properly. I pack her lunchbox according to what she eats. It always consists of a fruit. It never consists of a vegetable. She eats vegetables at home because I have to watch her because she doesn't really care for vegetables."

But the other truly disturbing part about all this is that the "official" USDA-approved nutritional requirements for children are nothing more than a total sellout to the corrupt dairy industry! Here, drink pasteurized, homogenized, hormone-produced milk which will probably make the girls hit puberty at age 9 while causing the little boys to grow armpit hair before they're old enough to tie their own shoelaces.

Ditch your healthy food and eat this homogenized crap!

So the girl brought to school a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, some potato chips and some apple juice. Admittedly, it's not the lunch of champions or anything, but guess what the school forced her to eat instead? Chicken nuggets.

Yeah, those are the deep-fried "parts is parts" chicken-like objects made from mechanically-separated chicken (yuck). They probably contain MSG or some other taste-enhancing chemical, too, and they're no doubt fried in genetically-modified soy oil or corn oil. That must be very conducive to a learning environment, huh?

And this elementary school's current home page features a giant photo of children holding up signs that read, "HELP FIGHT HEART DISEASE." Seriously? Do they honestly think feeding chicken nuggets to preschoolers is an intelligent way to fight heart disease? (Dear God, what has public education come to in America?)

Since when was the state any kind of authority on nutrition anyway?

All this takes a lot of gall for a government that routinely formulates the most nutritionally-depleted school lunch programs and prison food imaginable. If the government was in charge of our nutrition, we'd all be eating genetically modified poison laced with pharmaceuticals and birth control. It's almost like Bill Gates' heavenly recipe for "feeding the world," huh?

Eat this and die. That's what the government's pushing these days. After all, the sooner you all die, the more money the government will save on social security, Medicare and other entitlements it can't afford to pay for much longer. I bet that's one social science lesson these kids aren't taught in school.You're more valuable to the state dead than alive.

The government likes to act like it's all "official" or something, and that it's somehow looking out for the welfare of these children. It was the Division of Child Development and Early Educationat the Department of Health and Human Services which enforced these loony requirements. According to all those "officials" (i.e. government nutritional morons who eat junk food all day while sitting at their desks and injecting themselves with insulin all day), a "healthy" meal for a child should consist of:

• One serving of meat, such as sausages laced with cancer-causing sodium nitrite, which is linked to a 300% increase in brain tumors in children and a 67% increase in pancreatic cancer

• One serving of pasteurized, homogenized, heart-disease inducing cow's milk which also causes allergies, autoimmune disorders and digestive problems.

• One serving of grain, which could be met by serving some nutritionally-depleted white bread.

• Two servings of fruit or vegetables, including those gross canned peaches floating in corn syrup.

Yep! That's the USDA's pathetic definition of nutrition, folks. A bunch of disease-inducing processed dead food that's sanctioned by the very same state that wants a dead population. So it all makes sense, you see.

God forbid the mom that packs a lunch for her child that looks something like this:

• A fresh sprout salad (state officials have never seen living sprouts and would probably condemn them as being too "alive" to be safely consumed. Irradiate it!).

• A fresh avocado sprinkled with paprika and nutritional yeast (huh? Is that a fruit? A vegetable? What does it count for? This would confuse school officials for weeks who would have to convene a committee to study the issue...)

• An egg sandwich made from free-range chicken eggs, served up on gluten-free whole grain English muffins (what? No meat! You are murdering your child, you careless parents! Call Child Protective Services!)

• A bottle of fresh juice made that morning from oranges, carrots, lemons and a hint of ginger. (LIVING food? That's the food of terrorists! Nothing alive is allowed in the schools! Forbidden!)

You see, school officials wouldn't recognize a nutritious lunch of it slapped them across the face. There's nothing quite like being cold-cocked with an egg-and-tomato sprout sandwich.

Instead, these pathetic state "health department" enforcers apparently ended their own nutritional education with health class in high school, which gives you evenlesseducation than the innate knowledge of a typical mule, because at least the mule knows to eat the living grass and flowers growing right out of the soil. Yep, I said it: These state officials knowless than an ass about nutrition."

Day 339- Does the Gardasil Vaccine Cause More Damage than it Helps?

Vaccines that are released under accelerated approval always frighten me. Accelerated approval means that the vaccine has not gone under extensive testing, and that the testing will be mostly done once it has been released to the public. Side effects and consequences of the vaccine are many times unknown when first released.

Thus is the case with the Gardasil vaccine that is pushed upon girls as young as 9 years old.

"According to a recently published, industry-sponsored study conducted on 12,852 young women, HPV vaccination was found to reduce HPV-16 infections a mere 0.6% in vaccinated women versus unvaccinated women. At the same time, other high-risk (carcinogenic) HPV infections were diagnosed in vaccinated women 2.6% to 6.2% more frequently than in the unvaccinated women. The increased rate of infections caused by carcinogenic HPV types other than those targeted by Gardasil in vaccinated women is 4 to 10 times higher than the reduction in HPV 16/18 infections.

These statistics are not exactly encouraging when it comes to demonstrating efficacy for Gardasil. In fact, quite the opposite - these figures seem to indicate that women who receive Gardasil may indeed increase their risk of developing cervical cancer from high-risk HPV types that are not targeted by the vaccine."


The documentary, "One More Girl," was created by two brothers whose sister had experienced several serious side-effects after her first injection of the Gardasil vaccine.

"Her adverse reaction demanded further investigation which led to the startling discovery that thousands of young girls were having serious reactions to the vaccine, including death. At last count, there have been 89 confirmed deaths as a result of Gardasil.

These girls’ reactions to the vaccine range from muscle pain, weakness, seizures, strokes, autoimmune problems, paralysis, tremors, heart issues, and the list goes on and on. Furthermore, it is estimated that only 1-10% of vaccine related side-effects are reported.

Treating these girls is a challenge. Doctors don‘t know how to treat them and are reluctant to do so without establishing the cause of their symptoms.

Haunted by the tragic stories of thousands of girls injured by Gardasil, we began in-depth research to verify a correlation between the vaccine and the girls’ medical conditions. We wanted to know more about the HPV that causes cervical cancer, the vaccine created to prevent it, and Merck Pharmaceutical Company, which developed the HPV vaccine Gardasil."

A few years ago I went to a conference to listen to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny talk about vaccines. I was blown away during the discussion on the Gardasil vaccine and was able to take away these few points. The Gardasil vaccine was created to protect against only a few strands of the HPV virus, while the truth is that there are many strands. While the vaccine targets weaker strands of the virus, it does nothing against the stronger strands of HPV - the ones that are shown to cause cervical cancer or the ones that are the most prevalent in the United States.

To me the vaccine and the possible symptoms associated with the vaccine do not prove to be worth the risk. I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way, as there was a letter sent by SaneVax Inc. that is asking for the FDA to rescind the approval for Gardasil.

Natural News:

"On January 31, 2012, SaneVax Inc. sent an open letter to Ms Sebelius asking her to rescind approval for Gardasil based on the lack of efficacy demonstrated.


If the Department is truly interested in public health and safety, they will do the right thing and rescind Gardasil approval until the manufacturer can provide scientifically sound data proving this new drug is actually effective.

In the meantime, medical consumers around the globe have a choice. Is poke and hope good enough for you and your children? Or, are you going to demand scientific proof of efficacy before submitting to HPV vaccination?"

Day 330- "Just Say No To GMO" Music Video

Happy Tuesday! I couldn't have sang it better if I had tried. Here is a music video created by Mike Adams, editor of Natural News.



Here are the lyrics from the song:

I'm lookin at the food that's in the grocery store
They say it's safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don't really know if it's made with those GMOs

So I'm lookin for the non-GMO label 'fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it's verified so I don't
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don't want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They're gonna hurt us we know
It's time we told 'em to go, say GMO NO!

I don't want eat poison, I don't want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it's a food abomination what they doin' to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they're spreadin' their lies
Monsanto destroyin' farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it's safe even though they all know it's just
poison stealing away your life, and that's what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that's a corporate myth
if you don't believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He's the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It's a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don't wanna live genetically modified

Day 318- Law Proves that Mountain Dew Dissolves Rodents - Winning!

Alright, I am hooked on these crazy news articles that will hopefully cause you to take a second look at what you are really putting into your body. Here is another one from Natural News about how Pepsi is fighting a lawsuit to prove that Mountain Dew can dissolve rodents. That in my eyes doesn't seem like it would be considered a winning argument, but I guess so. Read the article below:

(NaturalNews) While drinking Mountain Dew, have you ever seen (or perhaps felt on your tongue) a thick, jelly-like substance? Maybe you assumed the ingredients in the soda had gelled. According to Mountain Dew manufacturer Pepsi, you may have been ingesting some extra protein with your beverage in the form of a liquefied rodent.

Lawsuit results in unusual defense

An Illinois man is suing Pepsi, claiming he found a mouse in his can of Mountain Dew. Ronald Bell of Edwardsville, a small town near St. Louis, alleges there was a mouse in a can of soda he purchased and drank in 2009. Bell says he spit out the mouse and called the company to complain. At the soda manufacturer's request, he sent them the mouse corpse. Pepsi had a veterinary pathologist examine the body. Their scientific expert found the rodent could not have been in the can since the soda case was sealed in August 2008, and its body would have dissolved as a result of the acid in the soda.

Bell says that Pepsi destroyed the evidence in the case and is seeking judgment. Pepsi's legal team has moved to dismiss the case. Bell's suit initially also involved the owners of the convenience store chain where he purchased the beverage, but those defendants have been dropped from the case and an amended suit was filed. The trial was set to begin in late 2011; however a Madison County Circuit Court judge granted Pepsi another month to argue for dismissal.

Quench your thirst with some chemicals

NaturalNews has reported many times in the past on the health dangers of soda, including the fact that Mountain Dew and other fruit-flavored beverages contain a flame retardant chemical (http://www.naturalnews.co/034448_brominated_vegetable_oil_soft_drinks_chemical.html). The bright green color of this soda obviously derives from food colorings, many of which also have negative health consequences. Like many sodas, Mountain Dew derives its fizzy quality from phosphoric acid, a substance which health experts have long warned can destroy tooth enamel.

Now it appears that, in order to win a lawsuit, Pepsi has conducted its own animal testing on its products and is putting forth evidence that their soda causes organic tissues, as the legal brief states, to become a "jelly-like substance." One has to wonder whether, in the interest of protecting themselves from similar future lawsuits, their scientific experts put dead mice in containers in each of their beverage products to compare the rates of disintegration.

Let's hope that anyone who thinks drinking Mountain Dew is a relatively harmless dietary indulgence hears about this case and thinks twice before swigging some of the bright green beverage. If a mouse can become jelly over the course of the shelf-life of a can of soda, imagine what it can do to your body, especially if you drink this substance regularly over the course of several years. An early advertising slogan for Mountain Dew, back in the 1960s, was "Ya-Hoo Mountain Dew. It'll tickle you innards." Maybe Pepsi can revive this slogan, changing the word "tickle" to "dissolve." Or perhaps, given the soda's more recent marketing association with extreme sports, they can present mouse-chugging as a "wild" activity to fuel skateboarding achievement.

Day 317- The Immortal Hamburger

McDonald's burgers don't decompose? Get moldy? They actually stay the same, even after many years have gone by? Wow, I think I just lost my appetite! This was discovered by accident when a guy placed a hamburger in his pocket and forgot about it for over a year. Shockingly when he did finally come across it, it looked and smelled exactly the same as it did when he purchased it. Don't believe me? Check out this video on what really went down:




Here is a great and entertaining article I found on the Natural News website, which is definitely worth a read.

Why don't McDonald's hamburgers decompose?

So why don't fast food burgers and fries decompose in the first place? The knee-jerk answer is often thought to be, "Well they must be made with so many chemicals that even mold won't eat them." While that's part of the answer, it's not the whole story.

The truth is many processed foods don't decompose and won't be eaten by molds, insects or even rodents. Try leaving a tub of margarine outside in your yard and see if anything bothers to eat it. You'll find that the margarine stays seems immortal, too!

Potato chips can last for decades. Frozen pizzas are remarkably resistant to decomposition. And you know those processed Christmas sausages and meats sold around the holiday season? You can keep them for years and they'll never rot.

With meats, the primary reason why they don't decompose is their high sodium content. Salt is a great preservative, as early humans have known for thousands of years. McDonald's meat patties are absolutely loaded with sodium -- so much so that they qualify as "preserved" meat, not even counting the chemicals you might find in the meat.

To me, there's not much mystery about the meat not decomposing. The real question in my mind is why don't the buns mold? That's the really scary part, since healthy bread begins to mold within days. What could possibly be in McDonald's hamburger buns that would ward off microscopic life for more than two decades?

As it turns out, unless you're a chemist you probably can't even read the ingredients list out loud. Here's what McDonald's own website says you'll find in their buns:

Enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, enzymes), water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, wheat gluten, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide, soy flour), calcium propionate and sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.

Great stuff, huh? You gotta especially love the HFCS (diabetes, anyone?), partially-hydrogenated soybean oil (anybody want heart disease?) and the long list of chemicals such as ammonium sulfate and sodium proprionate. Yum. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Now here's the truly shocking part about all this: In my estimation, the reason nothing will eat a McDonald's hamburger bun (except a human) is because it's not food!

No normal animal will perceive a McDonald's hamburger bun as food, and as it turns out, neither will bacteria or fungi. To their senses, it's just not edible stuff. That's why these bionic burger buns just won't decompose.

Which brings me to my final point about this whole laughable distraction: There is only one species on planet Earth that's stupid enough to think a McDonald's hamburger is food. This species is suffering from skyrocketing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia and obesity. This species claims to be the most intelligent species on the planet, and yet it behaves in such a moronic way that it feeds its own children poisonous chemicals and such atrocious non-foods that even fungi won't eat it (and fungi will eat cow manure, just FYI).

Care to guess which species I'm talking about?

That's the real story here. It's not that McDonald's hamburgers won't decompose; it's that people are stupid enough to eat them. But you won't find CNN reporting that story any time soon.

Day 339- Does the Gardasil Vaccine Cause More Damage than it Helps?

Vaccines that are released under accelerated approval always frighten me.

Natural News:

"On January 31, 2012, SaneVax Inc. sent an open letter to Ms Sebelius asking her to rescind approval for Gardasil based on the lack of efficacy demonstrated.


If the Department is truly interested in public health and safety, they will do the right thing and rescind Gardasil approval until the manufacturer can provide scientifically sound data proving this new drug is actually effective.

In the meantime, medical consumers around the globe have a choice. Is poke and hope good enough for you and your children? Or, are you going to demand scientific proof of efficacy before submitting to HPV vaccination?"

Day 330- "Just Say No To GMO" Music Video

Happy Tuesday! I couldn't have sang it better if I had tried. Here is a music video created by Mike Adams, editor of Natural News.



Here are the lyrics from the song:

I'm lookin at the food that's in the grocery store
They say it's safe, everybody eat more.
On second thought, I don't really know if it's made with those GMOs

So I'm lookin for the non-GMO label 'fore I bring it home and put it on my table
I wanna know it's verified so I don't
Harm myself with genetically modified

Uh-Oh
They don't want you to know
All the poison they grow
The corporate profits they show from those GMO OH

Those Frankenseeds that they sow
They're gonna hurt us we know
It's time we told 'em to go, say GMO NO!

I don't want eat poison, I don't want gene mutations at my dinner reservations
it's a food abomination what they doin' to this fast food nation
They take artificial gene combinations
inject them in seed variations
so they can grow their Frankenfood imitations
while the side effects cause medical patients

Keep their profits alive while they
spraying all the food with name brand herbicides
and all the while they're spreadin' their lies
Monsanto destroyin' farmers lives
and the FDA keeps it all going
saying it's safe even though they all know it's just
poison stealing away your life, and that's what you eat with genetically modified.

GMO safety huh that's a corporate myth
if you don't believe me listen to Jeffery Smith
He's the man with plan gonna do what he can
To help us all get those GMOs banned
But we need you to lend a hand
take a stand against this food scam
It's a mission for the health condition worldwide
We don't wanna live genetically modified

Pura Vida!

Day 318- Law Proves that Mountain Dew Dissolves Rodents - Winning!

Alright, I am hooked on these crazy news articles that will hopefully cause you to take a second look at what you are really putting into your body. Here is another one from Natural News about how Pepsi is fighting a lawsuit to prove that Mountain Dew can dissolve rodents. That in my eyes doesn't seem like it would be considered a winning argument, but I guess so. Read the article below:

(NaturalNews) While drinking Mountain Dew, have you ever seen (or perhaps felt on your tongue) a thick, jelly-like substance? Maybe you assumed the ingredients in the soda had gelled. According to Mountain Dew manufacturer Pepsi, you may have been ingesting some extra protein with your beverage in the form of a liquefied rodent.

Lawsuit results in unusual defense

An Illinois man is suing Pepsi, claiming he found a mouse in his can of Mountain Dew. Ronald Bell of Edwardsville, a small town near St. Louis, alleges there was a mouse in a can of soda he purchased and drank in 2009. Bell says he spit out the mouse and called the company to complain. At the soda manufacturer's request, he sent them the mouse corpse. Pepsi had a veterinary pathologist examine the body. Their scientific expert found the rodent could not have been in the can since the soda case was sealed in August 2008, and its body would have dissolved as a result of the acid in the soda.

Bell says that Pepsi destroyed the evidence in the case and is seeking judgment. Pepsi's legal team has moved to dismiss the case. Bell's suit initially also involved the owners of the convenience store chain where he purchased the beverage, but those defendants have been dropped from the case and an amended suit was filed. The trial was set to begin in late 2011; however a Madison County Circuit Court judge granted Pepsi another month to argue for dismissal.

Quench your thirst with some chemicals

NaturalNews has reported many times in the past on the health dangers of soda, including the fact that Mountain Dew and other fruit-flavored beverages contain a flame retardant chemical (http://www.naturalnews.co/034448_brominated_vegetable_oil_soft_drinks_chemical.html). The bright green color of this soda obviously derives from food colorings, many of which also have negative health consequences. Like many sodas, Mountain Dew derives its fizzy quality from phosphoric acid, a substance which health experts have long warned can destroy tooth enamel.

Now it appears that, in order to win a lawsuit, Pepsi has conducted its own animal testing on its products and is putting forth evidence that their soda causes organic tissues, as the legal brief states, to become a "jelly-like substance." One has to wonder whether, in the interest of protecting themselves from similar future lawsuits, their scientific experts put dead mice in containers in each of their beverage products to compare the rates of disintegration.

Let's hope that anyone who thinks drinking Mountain Dew is a relatively harmless dietary indulgence hears about this case and thinks twice before swigging some of the bright green beverage. If a mouse can become jelly over the course of the shelf-life of a can of soda, imagine what it can do to your body, especially if you drink this substance regularly over the course of several years. An early advertising slogan for Mountain Dew, back in the 1960s, was "Ya-Hoo Mountain Dew. It'll tickle you innards." Maybe Pepsi can revive this slogan, changing the word "tickle" to "dissolve." Or perhaps, given the soda's more recent marketing association with extreme sports, they can present mouse-chugging as a "wild" activity to fuel skateboarding achievement.

Day 317- The Immortal Hamburger

McDonald's burgers don't decompose? Get moldy? They actually stay the same, even after many years have gone by? Wow, I think I just lost my appetite! This was discovered by accident when a guy placed a hamburger in his pocket and forgot about it for over a year. Shockingly when he did finally come across it, it looked and smelled exactly the same as it did when he purchased it. Don't believe me? Check out this video on what really went down:




Here is a great and entertaining article I found on the Natural News website, which is definitely worth a read.

Why don't McDonald's hamburgers decompose?

So why don't fast food burgers and fries decompose in the first place? The knee-jerk answer is often thought to be, "Well they must be made with so many chemicals that even mold won't eat them." While that's part of the answer, it's not the whole story.

The truth is many processed foods don't decompose and won't be eaten by molds, insects or even rodents. Try leaving a tub of margarine outside in your yard and see if anything bothers to eat it. You'll find that the margarine stays seems immortal, too!

Potato chips can last for decades. Frozen pizzas are remarkably resistant to decomposition. And you know those processed Christmas sausages and meats sold around the holiday season? You can keep them for years and they'll never rot.

With meats, the primary reason why they don't decompose is their high sodium content. Salt is a great preservative, as early humans have known for thousands of years. McDonald's meat patties are absolutely loaded with sodium -- so much so that they qualify as "preserved" meat, not even counting the chemicals you might find in the meat.

To me, there's not much mystery about the meat not decomposing. The real question in my mind is why don't the buns mold? That's the really scary part, since healthy bread begins to mold within days. What could possibly be in McDonald's hamburger buns that would ward off microscopic life for more than two decades?

As it turns out, unless you're a chemist you probably can't even read the ingredients list out loud. Here's what McDonald's own website says you'll find in their buns:

Enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, enzymes), water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated soybean oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, wheat gluten, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide, soy flour), calcium propionate and sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.

Great stuff, huh? You gotta especially love the HFCS (diabetes, anyone?), partially-hydrogenated soybean oil (anybody want heart disease?) and the long list of chemicals such as ammonium sulfate and sodium proprionate. Yum. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Now here's the truly shocking part about all this: In my estimation, the reason nothing will eat a McDonald's hamburger bun (except a human) is because it's not food!

No normal animal will perceive a McDonald's hamburger bun as food, and as it turns out, neither will bacteria or fungi. To their senses, it's just not edible stuff. That's why these bionic burger buns just won't decompose.

Which brings me to my final point about this whole laughable distraction: There is only one species on planet Earth that's stupid enough to think a McDonald's hamburger is food. This species is suffering from skyrocketing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia and obesity. This species claims to be the most intelligent species on the planet, and yet it behaves in such a moronic way that it feeds its own children poisonous chemicals and such atrocious non-foods that even fungi won't eat it (and fungi will eat cow manure, just FYI).

Care to guess which species I'm talking about?

That's the real story here. It's not that McDonald's hamburgers won't decompose; it's that people are stupid enough to eat them. But you won't find CNN reporting that story any time soon.
