Too bad we can't eat anything in this country! [B)]
ractopamine- "The substance is used to increase an animal?s muscle mass and if consumed by humans it can lead to obesity, heart conditions, insomnia, headaches and spasms. However, it is still used in more than 45% of pigs, 30% of cattle, and even in turkeys in the US. About 20% of the in the animals remains in the meat sold at the supermarket".
Roxarsone- Arsenic used to make chickens pinker? Apparently stopped? ?Arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancer, while low-level exposures can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes.? Wonder why more Diabetics?
"Canthaxanthin and astaxanthin are the petrochemicals used to color our fish so it looks pretty and we buy it. This is nothing new, similar color additives are used on many of the fruits, vegetables, and food that we buy everyday. To be fair, the FDA says these petroleum based color additives are fine for human consumption"
"The dough of hamburger and hot dog buns are often bleached and made more elastic by having potassium bromate added to them. However, potassium bromate is linked to many health conditions, including kidney and nervous system damage, thyroid problems, gastrointestinal discomfort and cancer."
"Foods like boxed pasta mixes, breads, frozen dinners, and packaged baked goods contain the chemical azodicarbonamide which is added as an instant bleaching agent for flour. "

Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

I love Marie Calendar, but once a month is all I'll do.
I make stuff from scratch except for biscuits.
Read labels. Texas Pete is now a GMO product.
My French toast and cinnamon toast is the real deal just like granny used to make.
Someone is full of feces and not in a good way.
Stay away from processed foods

ractopamine-???? never heard of it

How much beef have YOU produced over the last 1/2 century, DUDE?
I have worked every aspect of the operations from calf/piglet to market.
partial list
Fructose corn syrup
Vegetable oil
Ammonium sulfate
Monocalcium phosphate
L-ascorbic acid
Chlorine dioxide
L-cysteine hydrochloride
Emulsifiers: including ? diglycerides of fatty acids, sodium strearoyl-2-lactylate, and glycerol mono-stearate.
the additives in commercial bread will make you want to make it yourself, besides preservatives they add chemical dough conditioners, flavorings, they add vitamins and people think its a good thing, but its not because they removed them by bleaching and chemically processing the flour
partial list
Fructose corn syrup
Vegetable oil
Ammonium sulfate
Monocalcium phosphate
L-ascorbic acid
Chlorine dioxide
L-cysteine hydrochloride
Emulsifiers: including ? diglycerides of fatty acids, sodium strearoyl-2-lactylate, and glycerol mono-stearate.
I use Arnold Italian Bread. No HFCS, they use sugar.

UNBLEACHED ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR [FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, REDUCED IRON, NIACIN, THIAMIN MONONITRATE (VITAMIN B1), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), FOLIC ACID], WATER, YEAST, SUGAR, SALT, SOYBEAN OIL, MONOGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM PROPIONATE (PRESERVATIVE), DATEM, CALCIUM SULFATE, SOY LECITHIN, CITRIC ACID, GRAIN VINEGAR, WHEAT GLUTEN, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, POTASSIUM IODATE.
c&p thats why the caps, but again they add back the vitamins they took out, and add gluten due to loss of natural gluten in processing
mine: flour, water, salt
Home raised chickens and rabbits, amounts to half my meat. The remainder is purchased from butcher shops.
Almost zero sugar, cooking oil, soda drinks and no more coffee, decaf only.
No "white" bread, wheat only. Should make bread, maybe someday.
It can lead to obesity?????? This comment makes me wonder why body builders would be using the stuff.
The major contributor to obesity is eating more calories than you burn.
By picking certain data with skewed statistics, it can be proven that drinking water causes all sorts of problems so quoting numbers w/o proper context is just blowing wind.
I guess you have heard of it now? True or false effects of that stuff
I just wish the Beef ate grass like they were designed to do and didn't go to "feed lots" for fattening on ANY chemical, Hormone, Steroid, or Anti bio diet.
It would be nice if our livestock were raised, fed, and finished naturally.
Perhaps that is a naive desire.

GOOGLED the name and read about 15 pages of what it is and what it does, so yes, I have heard of it NOW. FWIW, I don't think the use and/or residual effects are nearly as dramatic or widespread as your headline projected it to be.
"It would be nice if our livestock were raised, fed, and finished naturally."
Are you going to be the one who tells XX% of the population that they don't get to eat ANY meat this week?
Do not smoke or inhale toxins to your lungs or breathing apparatus.
Watch how much carbon you eat in your grilled food.
