Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Congrats, proud papa.

I just had lunch with a friend who got Covid after attending his sister's funeral in Detroit.  He said nobody else in the group got it, yet.  Probably the plane he thinks.

Chick-Fil-A to me is quite amazing service and decent sammiches.

I don't know what chemicals they use other than the usual.

I see brominated veggie oil may be on the way out.

I'll go if we're on a trip and they are off the freeway.  I'll very rarely go around here, too many good options for us.  There is one up the street that oddly is not open for dinner.  It used to be.  

Our stomachs are pretty amazing chemical plants.

I would argue that some of what's in them are highly addictive. When you go through weird brain trauma like I did, you start researching every part of food and drink that goes into your body. If you really want to raise an eyebrow, look into what Chick-fil-A puts on their food and it will also help you understand that "fad" as well.

Eventually, food and drink places will face similar consequences to what the cigarette industries faced, but we're probably decades away from people facing that reality

What do they put in their food?

What do they put in their food?

The big one is monosodium glutamate. Food industry gets away with calling it a "flavor enhancer" but in reality it's an excitotoxin that overstimulates the neuron receptors and creates addictions and does harms the brain over time. Chicken and breading both have it. 

Chicken also has sodium aluminum phosphate, linked to brain issues, dimethylpolysiloxane which is a silicone ploymer.. yeah lets put that in our body. Emulsifier like monoglycerides which are starting to be tied to brain issues like cavernous malformations, Soy lecithin.. potassium iodate.. banned in europe. 

Potassium sorbate.. polysorbate 80.. again, any type of emulsifier is starting to be tied to brain issues.

Lastly - when any company uses the term "natural flavor" it's a giant red flag. It's a proprietary "flavor" produced by that company and a way to bypass the FDA. 

Obviously after I suffered multiple brain tumors and bilateral craniotomy, i went down an extensive rabbit hole of causes and issues that could have lead to it and the food industries and what they do opened my eyes, yet scared me at the same time. I used to make fun of friends of mine that were farmer's market shoppers and what I thought were weirdos about their shopping and now i get my vegetables, meats, milk and everything possible from local farms.  Just a lot of bad things that happen in our food chains.

I thought the concerns over MSG were completely unfounded...
