Just an interesting tidbit: Marinade your food in booze.
It cuts the carcinogens from cooking by a significant amount.
Also, garlic does a good job too.

gamma/xrays/whatever rays on the other hand, will go straight through

I kinda think they should just rename it to electromagnetically treated, or EMR treated, or something like that to reduce confusion.

radiation/irradiation is perfectly scientifically accurate, but im willing to bet they could silence a lot of stupid critiques by such a name change.

i mean, would you rather step in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machine, or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. people dont mind magnets...but nuclear, that sounds dangerous!

Two things that I can tell you about McDonalds:

French fries: many people think they're made from sawdust. Actually, they're made from turnips!!! They extract the starch from turnips (because it's cheaper than potato, which ironically enough, is still a veeeery cheap vegetable), then mix it with various chemicals and artificial flavours before forming it all into french fries. While I doubt they use sawdust, I wouldn't be surprised if they use some sort of animal by-product for added flavour

Triple Thick Milkshake: ever tried thawing one of these out? the consistency stays fairly, well, consistent. Isn't it amazing how much flour can thicken a liquid up? Then they add even more sugar to compensate for the flour taste.
