Animal Contraceptive and Antibiotics Detected in Top 10 Popular Fast Foods: Report

2023-10-14

[ET] Two types of animal antibiotics and an animal contraceptive have been detected in food samples from America’s top 10 most popular fast-food chains, according to a laboratory report.

In September, Moms Across America (MAA) submitted food samples from 10 popular American food chains to the Health Research Institute, an Iowa-based nonprofit laboratory that tests food for nutritional value, biofunctionality, and contaminants and toxins, requesting that the laboratory test the samples for over 100 common veterinary drugs and hormones. MAA is a nonprofit activism group formed by mothers intending to bring awareness to food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides.

Molecular and chief scientist at the Health Research Institute, John Fagan, confirmed that his lab tested the food samples.
8 in 10 Popular Fast Food Chains Tested Positive
Most of the food was sampled from America's top 10 most popular food chains. Volunteers for MAA went to their local McDonald’s, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, or Domino's stores and ordered the same meal several times.

#10 A portly old boy of Oporto
Who welcomed, for one, our new ordo
By being de-ported,
In Heaven's rewarded:
His own lane in Tacos El Gordo.

She said, "Choke me, daddy!"

So I fed her a Popyeye's biscuit without a drink.

#1 Fattening us up for the Big Pharma market.

The JAB was a stop-cap measure. Societal obesity really is the key to finally eliminating non-contributing octogenarians.

Yes, why not. 'Supersize' those fries.
