Some say kissing a smoker is like licking an ash tray. Well, each bite into your McRib is kind of like eating the sole of your shoe.

Let me elaborate.

Unless you live under a rock, McDonald’s recently announced the return of the McRib sandwich for a limited time.

I think its crazy list of ‘science project’ ingredients and nutritional information deserved a closer look before eating. Remember, be MINDFUL of your eating habits, not MINDLESS. That’s for the zombies.

After much extensive and exhaustive research… (joking, it took less than 10 minutes if done right) I found that the 500-calorie ‘Pork’ sandwich includes roughly 70 ingredients. The bun alone contains 34, including chemicals like ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80, calcium sulfate and ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides. In addition, it includes pig innards, like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach. However, that’s not the worst of it! The nastiest (if fathomable) ingredient is azodicarbonamide — A flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufacturing of foamed plastics like gym mats and the soles of shoes.

Yes, you read that correctly — chemicals found in plastics, gym mats, and the soles of your shoes..

Really, though, who goes to McDonald’s expecting healthy and whole food? Every time we hear about another fast food place and their additives, we shouldn’t be surprised. It’s fast food, it’s cheap and addictive. Of course there are going to be ingredients that are questionable.

Whelp, I’ll stick to my real, whole food..

How’s that for a foot in the mouth, eh, McDonalds?
