version 30; feat. BoA

I doomed. I have not been paying attention in class for so many weeks. I guess I need to start studying already cuz the exams are like 3 weeks away and this week was gone in a flash. I borrowed Mellisa's textbooks to copy whatever I missed out. I GOTTA start listening in ELTECH, ENGMEC and EG2. Honestly. But the lessons are so boring. And all these new stuff that I'm learning is so different from the previous chapters. HAIZ it's gonna be so tough trying to catch up. Somebody scold me for not listening in class!

I saw something really interesting in 8Days. Read it and have a good laugh!

EVERYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FAST FOOD
by Eric Scholosser & Charles Wilson

Just about anything yummy in a fast food joint is man-made.
A strawberry milkshake contains an astonishing array of chemicals like amyl acetate. These tasty fake flavours, according to Schlosser, "are carefully designed to make you want to eat them again and again".

Pink, purple or red processed foods probably get their colour from bugs.
Carmine, a colouring additive, is made from a small bug from Peru. Thousands of these insects are ground to make certain processed foods like strawberry yoghurt a pretty shade of pink red or purple. Not so pretty now, eh?

Fast-food-farmed chickens feed on each other.
To save on chicken feed and fatten birds quickly, battery farm chickens are fed scraps from chicken slaughterhouses, making them not so fine young cannibals.

Beef patties may contain cow crap.
Cattle raised in cramped feedlots for fast food chains "live amid pools of each other's manure". More charmingly, cow hides are sometimes flecked with dung which can taint the meat. So a burger can make you ill because "there is poop in the meat". Right. Pass the veggies, please.
