You Got it Right Alexandra

After reviewing Alex's post and looking through all her links, I find that she is really totally right. In some respects the chicken of both the real and fake categories could be better but the “vitamin enriched” mass produced commercial product is definitely lacking in many nutritional aspects. It is not only deficient in things like B6 vitamins but from an actual meat point of view. In the average chicken nugget at Mickey-D’s the majority of the consumed content is actually corn. In a statement on Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, consumers respond to the claims in the book with their own evidence in support. In one report it was stated that “a McDonald's Chicken McNugget is 56% corn.” Thinking this changes my opinion as a consumer toward the entire fast food industry.
Thinking of the lack of actual meat in these products, it is easy to imagine that it is the lack of meat that is coming into the production. After looking into the meatrix of factory agriculture, there is no doubt that there is plenty of animal to go around. This informative video attacks the entire industry from the mistreatment of animals to the large amount or pollution that is produced every day by these huge factories. Alexandra’s views are very pointed as are my own and I feel, the views of many other consumers that may feel as if they are being cheated for their money. In the whole scheme of things I find that you get what you pay for as far as nutritious meals go. Small independent farms are going to provide a purer product whereas a factory will have watered down their product with several other ingredients and chemicals. Watch the video. It is really informative and really fun to watch.
