This guest post from Lewis Beck The other day I was on the computer looking for satellite TV service on satellitetvmadisonwi.com. While I was browsing for good deals for our service, I happened to do my twice-daily glance through my Facebook News Feed. Skimming down the page of people ranting and raving over friend drama, their minute-to-minute check-ins, and new baby pictures, my attention was drawn to a photo someone had shared. At first glance, this picture looks harmless enough. It is a shot of a strawberry-pink concoction in a tube shape being run through some sort of machine. The caption asked if you could guess what McDonald’s food this was. Too easy, I thought! It’s a strawberry shake!! I clicked on the “more” link for the caption. What I read chilled me to the bone. That pink mixture was actually processed chicken that McDonald’s uses for all of their chicken products. To get this mixture, the entire chicken (bones, guts, and all) is fed through a processor that grinds all of the ingredients in with the actual meat. Because of the fact that all of these parts are processed together, the entire mixture must be soaked in ammonia to kill the bacteria. From there, it is reformulated with chicken flavoring to offset the ammonia taste, and dyed a natural chicken-color before it is shaped into nuggets and patties. I was literally sick. That was all I needed to see to never, ever eat from McDonald’s again!

Next Biggest Loser
Author: Isiah Williams
Have you ever wanted to get rid of a few pounds? How about a hundred pounds? Maybe even three hundred pounds? The truth is that most of us would love to shed some extra weight and would do so willingly if given a bit of extra time, money, or other resources. Or, maybe some of us would still be lazy and need some extra motivation to shed the extra pounds. A show which motivates just about anyone to get off the couch and shed some weight is "Next Biggest Loser." This fabulous show is a competition in which over 10 obese people compete against one another to lose the most weight.
I think it is interesting to watch this show on my satellite tv from http://www.directstartv.com/ to see how people lose weight. I love seeing what the people must do to lose weight on this show. I always try to apply their own techniques for losing weight to my own life. One major tip I learned from this show for losing weight was to run every single day. On this show, I would always see contestants running long distances and then magically shedding pounds over the course of only a few weeks. Let me just say, that I have tried this approach in my own life, and it has worked fabulously. I have already lost 10 pounds!
