WHAT'S REALLY IN THE MCDONALD'S MCRIB? (WARNING) WATCH THE VIDEO

I don't think it would do you much harm to have one once in a while. I haven't eaten meat in about 15 years but I fondly remember the taste of Big Macs and their cheeseburgers. There is something about their food that tastes pretty good. Don't know why that is. But when I think about the many reasons I don't eat it, I don't miss it a bit.

I keep telling my self to give up meat. I guess I have not made the conscious decision to do it.

No worries.........don't fret over it. You'll do it when you're ready Lisayou.

At least the Bigmac is beef. Indulging on occasion is cool.

Well I am not sure if it is beef. But if it is not please don't tell me. :)

Nice logo!

Isn't it?

LOL! +^d

My mother in her 80's, loves to cook, one of favorite things to use when she cooks is Campbell's soup, she has been using that soup to make things, such as casseroles, sauces, spaghetti's, for decades, and we kind of grew up on that stuff. Now today, since I am so much more aware of this kind of "processed food" I feel like I am eating contaminated food whenever I go visit them. Needless to say, I lose weight at their house every time I visit. I used to try to educate her, but it is so hard to get her give up way of cooking, when she has been cooking that way for decades, and believes since she is still alive and well, that I am just over-reacting. Our food conversations have become arguments and she is hard headed. I finally gave up. Like I said, I just don't eat much of what she cooks. I rarely visit them, as I live 1000 miles away. I am sure many folks are like her.

I try to buy local honey, from beekeepers whose hives I know and trust, but it's not always available, it goes fast! Did not know about ultra-filtration. Yikes!

My mom is a Campbell's soup cook too, and we grew up eating it all the time. I know what you mean. It's sad really. Our parents are probably from that first generation who actually experienced the convenience of processed food, and for them, it was something to embrace...and if you revisit the marketing that accompanied the introduction of processed food, it's actually hard to believe that people didn't see through it, but everything, for that generation, was defined in terms of an ill-defined notion of progress.

The difference between a can of cream of mushroom soup and creating your own cream of mushroom sauce is legion, but yeah, our moms aren't going to change the way they cook.

You're right, there is no change for many of them, and occasionally I run across members of that generation at a local market, and see them loaded with goodies, and I know it is happening, but, just not in my family. Learning about good food is also an inside job, kind of like spirituality, one that must be found within. I heard someone say in an interview the other day, 'you cannot learn something unless you already know it'. Sounds impossible, but I think I got that. I think it means we have to have opened up our minds to other ideas, new thinking, different paradigms, and if we have that in us, we learn. If we have no frame of reference, thus we become stagnated. I think that is what Fox news relies upon. They manage to keep the sheeple in the prison of their propaganda. I am soooo glad I don't own tv, haven't in 20 years really. Even then, only a few years at a time. Now, I will never go back.

very interesting perspective on learning...luv it!
