McDonald's Snack Size Fish Bites $1

It's not the fish itself that makes these horrendous for you health wise. It's the other 22 ingredients:

"Fish McBites (http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/ge...list.pdf):
Pollock, Wheat Flour, Water, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Modified Food Starch, Contains 2% or Less of: Yellow Corn Flour,
Torula Yeast, Salt, Leavening (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Disodium Pyrophosphate), Dried Garlic, Dried Onion,
Spices, Wheat Gluten, Sugar, Spice Extractives, Methylcellulose, Paprika and Turmeric Extract (Color).
Prepared in Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil with TBHQ and Citric Acid Added to Preserve Freshness).
Dimethylpolysiloxane Added as an Antifoaming Agent.
Cooked in the same fryer vat as the Fish Filet Patty, which contains whey (milk) in the breading."

There are a lot of VERY suspect ingredients there, not the least of which are two additives in the oil:

"TBHQ and dimethylpolysiloxane. The former, a preservative, may be deemed safe to consume in small amounts by both the FDA and the European Food Safety Authority, but studies by the International Programme on Chemical Safety have shown higher doses to cause stomach tumors in lab animals. And dimethylpolysiloxane? You’re probably more familiar with that particular silicone thanks to its use in Silly Putty; it gives the toy its particular stretchy, pliable texture."

On top of that, the snack size has 250 calories, 120 from fat (13g fat), and 420mg sodium. From: http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/ge...nfacts.pdf

This sounds like

Have you seen the movie Idiocracy? Where the lady at the hospital has a intake computer with pictures.. and the medical examiner is also a lawyer on the side in order to pay the bills, but doesn't know either job.

So.. no not robots. Just idiots.

Tried it. It was meh.

have to agree. tried it this saturday.
