From Bread to Barf...

Let me first start off by apologizing in advance for breaking hearts. Because if you feel half as strongly about what I'm about to tell you as I do, it will break your heart.

Soooo… I recently found out that my FAVORITE fast food restaurant #ChickFilA is using azodicarbonamide in their buns. For those of you that do not know what that is (because I sure didn't before I looked it up), it is a chemical that is usually found in shoe rubber and yoga mats. YEP, that's what I said, shoe rubber and yoga mat ingredients, also in BUNS! 

From here on out azodicarbonamide will be referred to as the yoga mat chemical, or something of the like.

BARF

This chemical was also found in their chicken. Although they say it is "approved" by the FDA, this chemical has been banned in other countries such as Europe, and clearly for good reason. Whoever thought that it was okay to "approve" this yoga-mat-shoe-rubber-chemical to be an ingredient in the food that we consume is clearly having conscious issues. 

Like, I'm seriously disgusted. I am really starting to believe that everything we eat is slowly killing us and that in like 10 years we're going to find out that we're apart of some sick government experiment or something. Because although I am overly disappointed in Chick-Fil-As participation in this BS, I cannot in good conscious single them out.

The yoga mat chemical has been found in many fast food restaurants besides Chick-Fil-A:

• Arby's
• Wendy's
• Of course McDonald's
• Jack in the Box
• Burger King
• Subway

I know right? I'm over it as well.

But here is the kicker, LOL! (but not really) what the yoga mat chemical does is make the flour appear "more white" !

This is the face I made when I found that out as well!

At this point I could rant all day so this is all I have left to say….

The food ya'll serve us doesn't look like the picture or the commercial anyway… So why are ya'll trying to make the food look cute now? I'm POSITIVE that I would rather have a nice healthy, non-yoga/shoe rubber meal, than a bun that appears "more white"! So thanks fast food chains, but no thanks. We do not want to eat buns with the same ingredients as the shoes on our feet or the yoga mats we use to work off the calories we consume from eating your rubber! 

AND

To Chick-Fil-A: I am severely disappointed in your choice to participate in this shameful use of inedible ingredients. You are not the normal fast food restaurant, or so I thought and I hold you to a MUCH higher standard. Now I think everything I have ever eaten, that and you have ever told me has been in vain. Is it really "your pleasure" to serve me a chicken sandwich made with this yoga mat ingredient? But more importantly… Should we really eat more chicken? 

Always with love,
