Please Try Not to Lick the Screen

Snickers used to love to eat at McDonald's.  Linda would ask him if he wanted to go to MickyD's, and he would do his happy dance.  They would walk up to the restaurant together and then Linda would have to give somebody the money to go inside to buy his 4 piece nugget snack.  Our MicD's has a little outside seating area down a few steps in an alcove.  They would sit there for a 1/2 hour while she slowly fed him bites of his nuggets.  Neither Chimmie or I have ever even tasted McDonald's food.  There is one new thing on the menu that does sounds yummy.  It's called a McRib. Linda knows a few people who like them. Do you think it looks tasty?  All that beefy goodness??  She was very curious how they got the rib meat off the bone, but it still looks exactly like it has the bone in the sandwich.  WARNING!  If you like the McRib, stop reading now.  Turns out it's not an actual rib at all.  There is a total of 70 different ingredients in the sandwich.  I won't bore you with the long, hard to say names, but one of them is azodicarbonamide, which is commonly used in the manufacturing of foamed plastics and the soles of shoes!  Chimmie should love them since he thinks shoes actually taste good.
