4. THE BREADING CAN HIDE THE INGREDIENTS.
Once a nugget is covered in crispy breading, most people stop thinking about the inside.
They see:
• A golden coating
• A familiar shape
• A quick meal
• A food children enjoy
But the coating can make a highly processed product look more natural than it really is.
5. CHILDREN ARE EATING THEM REGULARLY.
Chicken nuggets are marketed heavily towards children.
They are easy to eat.
They are convenient.
They taste good.
And children often ask for them repeatedly.
This can turn an occasional meal into a regular habit.
5. Ask for food in a box instead of paper wrappers
Grease-resistant fast food wrappers have historically carried hazardous chemical coatings.
Reduce your chemical exposure by;
• Requesting cardboard boxes instead of grease-resistant paper wraps
• Avoiding wrappers where 50% historically tested positive for fluorine compounds
• Choosing rigid box packaging where positive fluorine rates were under 20%
• Keeping hot, greasy foods away from treated packaging liners
Grease and high heat pull chemical surface coatings directly into your food.
6. Line baking pans with unbleached parchment paper
Cooking acidic or heavily spiced foods directly against aluminum foil accelerates metal leaching.
Protect your food by;
• Keeping aluminum foil off stainless steel pans to avoid galvanic corrosion
• Preventing the weak electrochemical reaction that dissolves aluminum into meals
• Using unbleached parchment paper as a clean barrier between food and metal
• Aligning with strict European intake guidelines of 1 mg of aluminum per kg of bodyweight
A simple layer of parchment paper keeps unwanted metals out of your dinner.
