By now, many Americans should be aware that at some point, they’ve unknowingly chowed down on “pink slime” meat. This culinary horror first rocked the pages of The New York Times in 2009 and several other times in recent years. We’ve noted “The Return Of Pink Slime” and “Is There Meat Glue In Your Food?” and “American Fast-Food Chains Use Seaweed, Soy, And Even Wood To Beef Up Menu... 

In a new study, researchers at Uppsala University have investigated how unhealthy food affects sleep. Healthy participants were randomly assigned to eat both a more unhealthy and a more healthy diet.

Bill Gates has been left reeling after McDonald’s announced they were ditching their ‘fake meat’ project due to the public’s dislike of the meatless burgers.

If anything shows the inanity of nanny-state prohibitions aimed at tackling obesity, it’s that, if breast milk were a commercial product, it would be close to falling foul of the rules. And is there really even a weight problem? We need to talk about the absurdity of a state taking measures that won’t work to solve a problem that is widely over-exaggerated. Among the many things mentioned in the... 

Fast food came to Russia during perestroika, with the first McDonald’s and Pizza Hut opening up in Moscow in 1990.

Muscovites have reacted angrily after the city authorities threatened to ban kebabs. Shawarma is a local favourite in the Russian capital, but hygiene concerns led them into the sights of Moscow’s Department of Trade and Services. “We are ridding shawarma from the streets.

An ill-thought scheme intended to retain the last of McDonald’s’ customers has blown up in franchise owners’ faces, showing how little can be done to save the fast food giant from imminent collapse.

The president of the company’s...

More and more individuals are realizing... 

Rather dubious McDonald’s food chain makes its clients to choose between tasty and healthy food. 700 snackbars turned out to have been closed so far because of not being able to pay the way. But even such problems do not impede McDonald’s getting billions of profit. At the same time the components used in its cuisine terrify even the US National Institutes of Health. Acrylamide is contained...

Both men and women have gained weight over the last 50 years, with each gaining roughly 30 pounds, according to the CDC.
