First EVER All-Vegetarian McDonald's in India

McDonald's in Kashmir, India
An all vegetarian McDonald's was introduced in India and is located infront of a temple. Since it is opened in front of a temple where people are mostly Hindus meaning that they are restricted from eating meat on Tuesday and Fridays. McDonald's has a variety of vegetarian meals for Hindus to choose from instead of limiting them to their normal religious foods such as; roti, boori, rice and such.  McDonald's is planning to open another vegetarian location near the Hindu site of Vaishno Devi cave in Indian Kashmir. I think this has brought such a big change to the Indian eating lifestyle. Sooner or later they would be eat more McDonald's and gradually forget about the rice and roti and will become in the same situation as Americans with high risks of obesity and such. Although the introduction of McDonald's in India may be a good idea, it also has serious reprecussions for the citizens of India in the future. America as we all know have many people that are obese and suffer from many chronic medical conditions such as; obesity and type 2 diabetes. And most of these are caused by the fast food industry one of which is McDonald's.  When this is western diet is introduced in other countries they are also going to be prone to these medical conditions as well. In my honest opinion I feel that this isn't a good idea that McDonald's has imposed as it strips away Hindus from their religious foods and makes them adapt to a dangerous diet like this.

What's in Fast Food Chicken? (Hint: It's NOT CHICKEN!)

REAL CHICKENHave you guys ever wondered what's in your fast food chicken? It's definitely not chicken guys! I know so many of you love McDonald's chicken McNuggets, but sorry to break it to you, but after you read this you wouldn't want to buy this ever again. Companies add dimethlpolysiloxane. What a huge word right? This substance is am anti-foaming agent made of silicone that is also used in cosmetics. Another chemical that is added is tertiary butlxhydroquinone. "This causes nausea, vomitting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse" Now do you want to eat these delicious nuggets? I guess not! Kids be aware that what you consume is not 100 percent orginal or has no preservatives added to it, rather it has many chemicals added that can be harmful to the human body. There is only 50 percent chicken in the chicken mcnugget meaning that the other 50 percent is made up of hazardous substances. I believe people are so encouraged to buy fast food because of the convience and the cost is so cheap that they rarely make fresh healthy meals at home. More people have to start cutting there consumption of fast foods and begin eating healthy meals, because who knows what they add in the other products at McDonald's!
