McDonalds Rejects Anti-Obesity Campaign, Proud of Responsible MenuAnthony Gucciardi Instead of adopting the policy, which was actually drafted in an attempt to enhance worker productivity and overall quality of life, the former CEO instead stated that he was proud of McDonalds menu changes. The quote was matched by the incoming CEO Don Thompson, who stated that the food options were very responsible. If you are even slightly familiar with the ingredients present in foods on the McDonalds menu (yes, even healthy salads), then it is obvious to you why these statements are outwardly fictitious. In fact, you need only to examine what exactly makes up a chicken nugget at McDonalds. You would imagine that a chicken nugget would contain the base ingredients of bread, chicken, and some seasoning. In reality, however, the chicken nugget contains toxic substances that have contributed to its reputation as one of the worst food items on the planet. The meat of a McNugget is actually compromised of 7 different ingredients, many of which have their own sub-ingredients. Real chicken is not even the main ingredient in this flesh formula, but hazardous and genetically modified ingredients. Sodium phosphate, safflower oil, wheat starch, dextrose, and a particularly dangerous substance known as autolyzed yeast extract all go into making the meat. It is interesting to note that autolyzed yeast extract is similar to MSG, or monosodium glutamate. Were proud of the changes weve made to our menu. Weve done more than anybody in the industry around fruits and vegetables and variety and choice, said former CEO Jim Skinner. We have been very responsible, the new CEO Don Thompson stated. McDonalds higher ups state that their meal choices are both highly responsible and many revolve around fruits and vegetables. What they fail to mention is the large number of industrial chemicals and contaminants that inhabit their food, and the food found in all fast food restaurants.
