McDonald's Tries Transparency Campaign

What is in McDonald's food?  A new campaign is in the food!

'There's no pink slime in our chicken': First ever behind-the-scenes look at a McDonald's factory as part of the restaurant's new myth-busting campaign to put an end to those rumors - Daily Mail

Here is McDonald's Our Food. Your Questions campaign.

I watched the Egg McMuffin egg cracking competition video.  It was kind of fun and the employees looked like a bunch of nice kids.  It kind of made me want to eat an Egg McMuffin (300 calories). Of course, that's the only thing I really eat at McDonald's, other than a once-in-a-while small vanilla ice cream cone (170 calories).

Then, I read the article about the new campaign on Time Magazine's website.

What McDonald's New 'Transparency' Campaign Is Hiding - TIME

28 million people eat at McDonald's every day in the United States?  Really?

And then the bad stuff comes late in the TIME article about GMOs and added hormones.  The worst thing they use (in my opinion) is azodicarbonamide in their buns and bread.  If you remember, that is an ingredient that is used in yoga mats and it was busted wide open by Food Babe when she was investigating Subway's use of the same product.  There's more in the TIME article, but McDonald's lost me at azodicarbonamide.  I'm not eating something used in yoga mats and shoe rubber.  Until McDonald's makes changes, I'm going elsewhere.

I wonder what's lurking in their vanilla ice cream cone... please, don't ruin that, too...
