If you’re compiling a bit of an offbeat list of presents that you might be wanting when Santa makes his way down the chimney, you know, items you really need but just aren’t sure how to spell them or even where they can be found, look no further – the joke’s on you, they’re already available in the food you eat, if you frequent fine dining establishments of fast food fuckery.
Animal Contraceptive and Antibiotics Detected in Top 10 Popular Fast Foods: Report – via zerohedge.com
Two types of animal antibiotics and an animal contraceptive have been detected in food samples from America’s top 10 most popular fast-food chains, according to a laboratory report.
In September, Moms Across America (MAA) submitted food samples from 10 popular American food chains to the Health Research Institute, an Iowa-based nonprofit laboratory that tests food for nutritional value, biofunctionality, and contaminants and toxins, requesting that the laboratory test the samples for over 100 common veterinary drugs and hormones. MAA is a nonprofit activism group formed by mothers intending to bring awareness to food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides.
Molecular and chief scientist at the Health Research Institute, John Fagan, confirmed that his lab tested the food samples.
8 in 10 Popular Fast Food Chains Tested Positive
Most of the food was sampled from America’s top 10 most popular food chains. Volunteers for MAA went to their local McDonald’s, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, or Domino’s stores and ordered the same meal several times.
Kept in its packaging, each meal was sealed, frozen, and mailed to the Health Research Institute.
At the laboratory, the food and its packaging were ground up and then tested for veterinary drugs and hormones.
With the exception of Chipotle and Subway, all the food samples tested positive for veterinary drugs.
Monensin, Narasin, and Nicarbazin
The drug concentrations in all of the food samples were below 2 micrograms per kilogram, which is significantly below the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) acceptable daily intake.
Mr. Fagan highlighted that the FDA’s acceptable intake levels are meaningful for checking acute poisoning. Yet in the case of fast food, which some people consume daily, there is a concern of chronic poisoning due to accumulation of toxins. (full article)
So big deal, right? We’re talking about cement heads who had no issues with injecting experimental chemical goo into their arms and obstructing their breathing by wearing a fabric of toxic shame because some regulatory government a-hole said to. Consuming animal contraceptives and antibiotics is cake after that.
It’s so comforting that these pinheads in government and poison producing drug companies have such an altruistic regard for the health of the public.
Holiday reminder: Fast food gift certificates are available in a variety of denominations.
