Start one and I'll participate. Someone actually thinks the theory of evolution can be proven? wow even pro evolution scientists admit it's impossible to prove. Its a forensic science at best and will never proceed past the theory part. personally since most of the science is based on had been proven flawed scientifically it should revert from theory back to hypothesis...

Threads still have topics, and they are not for spam. Topics can drift over time, but debating evolutionary theory is pretty far away from fast food and probably merits its own discussion.

what youre probably thinking of is ammonium hydroxide, not rat poison. its an antimicrobial agent, which is why its used for cleaning too. it, like most things, is basically safe until you have too much of it. the solutions used for decontamination are more safe than not using decontaminates would be and are generally very dilute solutions. some places, like canada, restrict its usages so not everybody uses it but they use other antimicrobial agents in its place.

the pink slime you are referring to exists in most ground beef products and is simply beef trimmings ground down and fat separated. its an additive that is just beef and is there to reduce cost and to avoid waste, which is the whole purpose of ground beef and why youre ordering a burger and not a steak anyways.

basically you and everything you own and come in contact with is covered in poo anyways so why stress over it

beautiful

Oooh, that reminds me of something from Dirty Jobs with Mike Whoevergivesaflyingf---, anywho, there is a guy who takes feces and makes it into pots for plants and sells it. This man managed to make poo you can just hand to someone and have them thank you for it!

you can make paper out of elephant poo because they suck at digesting

Now I want an elephant burger wrapped up in paper made from its last feces before going to the slaughterhouse.

I agree with this sentiment.

McDonalds is the closest thing we have around here anyway. So that helps as well with 2 kids.

vegan scientists do not think that eating meat is a good idea there is probably an agenda there but i think if there was a scientist without an agenda then i would not hear much about them

life expectancy is going up as far as i know and so is consumption of fast food as far as i know so i do not think fast food is too bad

omnomnom

youre welcome



all the funnest threads I post in end up getting this warning

its Mike Rowe you tool

it's funny because some people actually believe this.

what do you think about carnivores in the wild should they be put down

Actually you are a little off. Ammonium hydroxide is used as a main ingredient in rat poison.

Its also a byproduct of using ammonia gas chambers to sterilize pink slime meats. You'll notice that it doesn't actually remove the bacteria in the article.

The article is a little old and some fast food companies have stopped or reduced the use of their pink slime products, its still widely used though.

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for ammonium hydroxide classifies the substance as very hazardous when in contact with skin. Ammonium hydroxide may produce tissue damage on mucous membranes. The human digestive system is basically one long mucous membrane from mouth to finish. So you see we have a problem, either the people making the MSDS sheets or the people putting the stuff in our food are lying. No way around it.

There is such a thing as dosage. A lot of things are harmless (or even beneficial) in small quantities or when sufficiently diluted, but are dangerous in large quantity or when highly concentrated.

So saying that something can be dangerous doesn't mean it can't also be safe.

There is no known safe dosage for this. You can look it up on the chemical website and the CDC. Be sure to look it up as a cleaning chemical though because if you look it up as a food additive, it will come up as any dose is safe. What do you mean they have a double standard?

generally one molecule of any substance will not do any damage to your body so there is always a safe dosage.

people who kill other people should not be put down is my opinion but i would definitely support an effort to reworking ecosystems so that they aren't based around things killing other things
