Hot out of the oven..... Fast food

* Please continue to read this blog article.

Note: Living Better is bring you Fresh out of the oven news, that you're going to love. That no other blog source will ever take you close into the story. I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. You're also making them more healthier for you, while saving money in the long run.

We are all guilty for going through drive thru or standing in line at our favorite fast food joints.
As we aren't listening to our concious minds, and just going on that pleasure of what we consider craving for fast food.
If we go into dept in our own mind of what we are placing into our own bodies, as we continue to live healthy lives.
No one would be working or wasting their time in line waiting on poisonous food to be served to them. 
"YES" I went there and I am as much guilty as everyone else who love's the taste of fast food, as we consider fast food is quick.
Once again we are correct in the matter of fast food being quick, but is it worth the risk on your health? Why let me just answer that for you
without biting my tongue in the process........ the answer is "No". Fast food is full of tons of chemical that lead into health issues or even death.
Sounds quite scary ”HEY" well it's the matter of truth when you're thinking out side the boxes rather than inside of the box.
And you probably wouldn’t have ever imagined what you’re about to discover, fast food chicken is “composed primarily of fat, with some blood vessels and nerve present.” And that “striated muscle (actual chicken meat) is not the predominate component.” In fact the chicken has been shown to be over 55% fat. The rest is a combination of feathers, skin and corn with chemicals, preservatives, hydrogenated fats and petroleum-based additives to preserve freshness and enhance taste. And that is just some of McDonald's ingredients place in their chicken mcnuggets, Just imagine what else is being place...
