Fast Food Workers Of Reddit Tell You What Not To Eat

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the heels of a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) with a McDonald's employee, an AskReddit conversation thread popped up yesterday that we couldn't tear ourselves away from. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Fast food workers of Reddit,
 what is the one menu option at your employment that you would recommend
 people never eat? (Because of cooking safety, cleanliness, unhealthy, 
etc)," asked user 4ScienceandReason.
 This thread, which generated over 6,000 comments in 24 hours, brought 
some amazingly gross things to light -- some expected and some 
unexpected -- as well as some good-to-know tricks for the fast-food 
customer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some things you should probably stay away from:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Chicken Nuggets:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the grossest stories on 
this thread talked about the dubious material nuggets are generally made
 of. As noted by 4ScienceandReason, pictures and videos like these have already scared a lot of us off of chicken nuggets forever. Just in case that wasn't enough, this comment by Dfunkatron
 might seal the deal for you, "When I worked at McDonald's, I 
accidentally left a whole bag of about 100 chicken nuggets out on a 
counter for way too long. They melted. Into a pool of liquid. I never 
understood why. But they were completely indiscernible as being the 
nuggets i once knew."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Wendy's Chili:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While not as traditionally disgusting as some other fast food traditions, we found Cozmo23's description of the chili recipe at Wendy's
 to be pretty stomach-churning -- "The meat comes from hamburger patties
 that sat on the grill too long to serve to customers. They take them 
and put them in a bin and then throw them in the fridge. When the chili 
is made they take it out, boil it, chop it up and dump them in the 
chili."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Vegetarians Beware:</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While a lot of comments admitted to using the same grill/spatula/knife on vegetarian and meat items alike, this comment from user attack_goblin
 made us gasp a little extra: "I used to work at a restaurant where we 
deep-fried the Gardenburger patties in the same oil we deep-fried the 
bacon."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Grilled Chicken:</strong> If there was any common theme in 
this thread, it was this: just probably don't order grilled chicken in 
any fast food establishment ever. One McDonald's employee confessed to slathering grilled chicken breasts with liquid margarine to keep it from sticking. An ex-Subway employee described the defrosting process they used, which involved soaking the chicken in hot water for hours, then squeezing the "chicken water" out at the end of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Five Guys Appears to Be Safe:</strong> For now, no one has refuted user Cameron432's claim
 that they freeze nothing and make most everything fresh. Also, stick to
 the regular-sized fries, "One thing I will say is that ordering a large
 fry is always a bad idea. The difference between a large fry and a 
regular fry is surprisingly small (especially when it's busy)."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One comforting aspect of this discussion was the friendly 
disagreement. The most disgusting facts were usually counter-balanced by
 at least one other employee of each chain remarking that they'd always 
done it differently and that it really does depend on the management of 
each particular location. So if you have traditionally good luck in 
life, you can still order chicken nuggets, we suppose.</div>

<p align="justify"><img alt="Nyotaimori" src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/nyotaimori1.jpg-tm.jpg" style="margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:10px;float:right;padding;5px 5px 5px 5px;" width="150" />Ever hear the word nyotaimori or naked sushi? Well how to eat the strange and unusual it is to provide sashimi or sushi on naked women body. The practices of eating like this come from Japan which is currently widely imitated by other countries.<br />
<br />
Before becoming a "plate" food, women are usually young and beautiful are trained to be able to lie for hours without moving at all. Women should also be able to withstand the cold due to air conditioning or food placed thereon.<br />
<br />
Before the service, the woman who became the base should be a special aroma shower with soap and then rinse with cold water. On the other country by reason of sanitation naked woman's body was covered with transparent plastic before it is put sushi.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Nyotaimori" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSy2FiX2gxiof23kklKLWNIbJJD2RmCtmXsIcC_ONxuFxixNVlXewWLpEtlpyeQ52DS9KCRo6gs_jENMXiQWqrm-Gp0_YIgdOB-H4xG6ERdwmGXyUKp5rUYf65idhoTxn2A928-ltWXrMr/s400/nyotaimori.jpg" width="620" /><br />
<br />
According to the restaurant which is entered into this show and the guests, art of eating is part of the art. However this is of course disputed by feminists who say that such practices are exploiting women's bodies.<br />
<br />
There were varied reactions to the world like it and consider it art, but some are thought strange and immoral. Well in China itself forbidden practices like this restaurant for reasons of health. In Japan such practices are considered normal, especially big cities like Tokyo where the presentation of foods in a way many do unusual.<br />
<br />
Not only in Japan, in other cities such as Berlin, London, San Francisco, New York, and Paris is also a restaurant which serves like this thing, it's just not published to avoid protests.

Mushrooms Can Prevent the Development of Prostate Tumors

<p align="justify">Did you know, mushrooms are used in Asia for the treatment have been found 100 percent effective in reducing the development of prostate tumors in mice during the initial trial. <br />
<br />
As reported by Science Daily, the discovery was based on research at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Compounds, polysaccharopeptide (PSP), which is distilled from the turkey tail fungus, was found to target the prostate stem cells and reduces tumor formation in mice. The findings were based on an article written by a senior researcher Dr. Patrick Ling in the online journal PLoS ONE, published by the Public Library of Science. <br />
<br />
Dr Ling, from the Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre, Queensland and the Institute for Health & Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) at QUT, said the result could be an important step towards combating the disease which kills 3,000 men in Australia every year. <br />
<br />
Dr Ling said the usual therapy is only effective in attacking specific cancer cells, not the cancer stem cells, which trigger cancer and cause disease progression. During the research trial, conducted in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong and Provital Pty Ltd, transgenic mice that develop prostate tumors were fed subs PSP 20 weeks. <br />
<br />
Dr Ling said there were no tumors in rats fed the PSP, while mice not given the PSP to develop prostate tumors. He said research showed that treatment of the PSP can actually inhibit the formation of tumors. <br />
<br />
"Our findings support that the PSP can be potentially as an element of prevention against prostate cancer, possibly through the targeting of prostate cancer stem cell population," he said. He said the PSP had previously shown to have properties of anti-cancer and turkey tail mushroom (known as Coriolus versicolor or Yun-zhi) has been widely used in Asia for treatment. <br />
<br />
However, Dr Ling said the first time the PSP was shown to have the effect of anti-cancer stem cells. Although the turkey tail mushroom has a valuable health properties, Dr Ling said it's impossible to get the same benefits as shown research of just eating the fungus.

Warung milik Made Suwarka (35) ini buka dari pukul 08.00 sampai sore. Namun, bila ingin mencicipi buburnya, jangan datang setelah pukul 10.00 pada hari hujan atau datanglah sebelum pukul 12.00 pada hari terang supaya masih kebagian.<br /><br />Cara memasak bubur yang dijual dengan harga Rp 7.000 sepiring itu sama seperti membuat bubur di mana-mana: beras dimasak dengan banyak air ditambah daun salam untuk membuat wangi bubur.<br /><br />Keistimewaan bubur bali adalah pada menu penyerta bubur itu, yaitu urap sayuran dan gecok yang terdiri dari suwiran daging ayam dengan kuah betutu yang rasanya pedas menggigit. Suwarka menyediakan buburnya dengan urap sayuran yang ditaburi kacang goreng, usus goreng, serta popcorn. Tidak lupa tentu saja sambal matah khas Bali.<br /><br />Tentang popcorn, jagung letus buatan Suwarka itu cara pembuatannya sedikit berbeda dibandingkan dengan popcorn yang biasanya dibuat dengan dibubuhi garam atau margarin. Suwarka mengolahnya dengan memberi bawang putih lalu digoreng dengan minyak. ”Kalau ingin hasilnya lebih baik, jagung dijemur terlebih dahulu,” tutur Suwarka.<br /><br />Gara-gara inovasi Suwarka dengan jagung letus itu, bubur Suwarka menjadi salah satu bubur bali yang populer di Denpasar.<br /><br /><b>Urap bali</b><br /><br />Bubur dari Bali berbeda dengan bubur daerah lain di Indonesia karena teman menyantapnya adalah urap sayuran dan gecok. Sayuran urap terdiri dari daun singkong dan rajangan kasar kacang panjang. Sayuran rebus itu lalu dicampur dengan bumbu-bumbu, kelapa parut dari kelapa yang telah dibakar, bawang goreng, dan cabai yang dirajang kasar.<br /><br />Teman makan bubur yang lain adalah gecok. Menu ini terdiri dari adukan daging ayam suwir, kaldu ceker ayam, santan matang, serta bumbu kalas. Bumbu kalas terdiri dari, antara lain, kencur, ketumbar, bawang merah, dan bawang putih lalu dicampur dengan parutan kasar kelapa yang dibakar terlebih dulu.<br /><br />Untuk lebih menarik, cara penyajian bubur pun dibuat sedekat mungkin dengan cara yang aslinya memakai daun pisang. Hanya saja, Suwarka meletakkan daun pisang di atas piring. ”Daun pisang tidak bisa ditinggalkan karena itu menjadi pemanis sajian sekaligus sedap di buburnya sendiri. Kalau saya tak lagi menggunakan, wah langganan bisa protes,” ujar Suwarka.<br /><br /><b>Bermacam racikan</b><br /><br />Seperti lazimnya tawaran makanan di mana-mana, bubur bali pun memiliki racikan berbeda-beda sesuai dengan resep setiap pedagang yang dipengaruhi daerah asalnya. Menurut Suwarka, buburnya memakai racikan Denpasar. Adapun daerah lain bisa saja memakai sayuran yang berbeda atau kuah betutu berbeda pula.<br /><br />Sebenarnya di pasar-pasar tradisional juga bisa dijumpai bubur bali, hanya saja soal rasa tentu tidak bisa sama. Begitu juga rasa kuah dan jenis sayuran yang disajikan pun berbeda-beda. Dari beberapa orang yang ditemui, mereka menyatakan paling enak adalah bubur Tresni karena ada popcorn-nya.<br /><br />Menikmati bubur Warung Tresni ini nikmatnya berpasangan dengan kerupuk dan teh manis panas. Teh manis panas di warung ini pun pasti dihiasi dengan irisan jeruk nipis.<br /><br />Ia sendiri telah berkecimpung lebih dari 10 tahun berawal dari bisnis coba-coba ala kaki lima di pinggiran lapangan Puputan Renon. Belum lama berjualan di lapangan, penikmat bubur buatannya pun semakin bertambah setiap hari. Berbekal porsi sekitar 100 piring bubur seharga Rp 5.000 pun ludes setiap hari.<br /><br />Karena terkena gusuran petugas ketertiban, Suwarka pun menyewa tempat di Jalan Drupadi. ”Saya pun mulai dari nol lagi. Saya berkeyakinan pembeli setia saya pasti akan mencari. Jadi, yakin saja, kalau enak, pasti dicari terus,” ujar dia mantap.<br /><br />Selain menawarkan bubur bali, Warung Tresni juga menyediakan nasi campur dan jajan khas Bali. Enak seken ne (enak sekali)!
