McDonald’s: Food not fit to eat!
I wrote the following letter to McDonald’s Restaurants…
French fries currently sold at restaurant of McDonald’s Co.
I just finished reading: Food Babe Investigates: How Food Companies Exploit Americans with Ingredients Banned in Other Countries
Look closely at the ingredients in McDonald’s french fries at the link above. Do you see how the french fries in the U.K. version are basically just potatoes, vegetable oil, a little sugar and salt? How can McDonald’s make french fries with such an uncomplicated list of ingredients all over Europe, but not over here? Why do McDonald’s french fries in the U.S. have to have TBHQ, trans fat and a “anti-foaming” agents? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time I checked I didn’t think Americans liked foam with their fries either!
The anti-foaming agent “dimethylpolysiloxane” is a type of silicone used in caulks and sealants and as a filler for breast implants. It’s also the key ingredient in silly putty.
Thanks FDA for allowing companies to put silly putty in our french fries. Seriously this is out of control.
Thanks a lot. What are you trying to do to us? I am sick to death of being abused and taken advantage of by your company. I will no longer eat McDonald’s until you change your food policies… like what is IN THERE.
You should be shot for treason and crimes against humanity.
I don’t even think they read my email. This is the response I get back from them.
Thank you for contacting McDonald’s. I appreciate this opportunity to share some information with you about our menu items.

Please take the time to write McDonald’s a letter and tell them what you think of the crap they are putting in our food. Unless they feel the heat, they aren’t going to act.
