So What’s In That Fast Food Burger? The Truth Will Gross You Out

Did you know that Americans consume about 5 billion burgers a year? Wow! That’s a lot of burgers! But what’s in those burgers exactly? I was shocked to find out how many gross, nasty, unnecessary things go into your fast food burger. I’ll give you a hint: it isn’t just meat.

When it comes to transparency, government and corporations don’t often tell us what’s in our food. They’re often not transparent about many other things either. And when it is revealed that nasty stuff gets added to our food without our knowing, that information usually isn’t spread around enough to get an adequate response. It goes to show the importance of knowing where your food comes from, what’s in it, and shopping locally when you can.
