According to Time Magazine, the McRib sandwich contains an additive commonly used as a foaming agent in the manufacture of gym mats and the soles of athletic shoes. This additive is banned in Europe and Australia. For all we know, it's considered a delicacy in some parts of Eastern Europe.
This news should be frightening to anyone who does not live the Drink Your Carbs lifestyle. Those of us on Drink Your Carbs could not care less. We are not impacted because we don’t eat this crap for non-spooky-additive reasons.
The reason those of us on Drink Your Carbs won’t eat a McRib is that the only parts of the sandwich that meet the requirements of our diet are the pickles and onion slices. The rest of the McRib is inseparable from the bread and high fructose corn syrup.
One final reason never to touch a McRib: without adding a drink or fries, the McRib dials in at 500 calories. 500 calories is a quarter of a glass shy of an entire bottle of wine. That’s a trade no one on Drink Your Carbs should ever make.
