I'm on board with preserving meat, seems like a good idea. Flavor enhancement also seems an odd thing to deride, what's wrong with spices? Antibiotics could be worrisome, but I can't find any evidence comparing the bacteria on meat from antibiotic-fed animals vs. otherwise, let alone pre- to post- cooked in each case.Quote:

The problem with your train of thought: On one side, you have the big food lobbyists ready to push any cost saving feature into food production. On the other side you have hippies telling you that organic is better, because reasons. You have everyone then trying to profit on selling the latest pseudo scientific trend that's based on specious arguments.Quote:

The occasional McDonald's burger isn't going to ruin your health. A slice of white bread isn't going to destroy your intestines. An organic pesticide can kill you just as quickly as a manufactured one. Pretty music and pretty pictures can fool you just as easily as anything else you don't understand.
Their breakfast might be some of the tastiest creations on planet earth. Very rarely do I have it however. Good hangover food, when you just want to lay in bed all day and recuperate.Quote:

His doctor was surprised at how healthy he is, all things considered.
The moral of the story? BigMacs make you live forever.
I don't consider that one in the same. That is just bad parenting.Quote:
