Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

McDonald's sells around 7 million hamburgers daily, totaling over 2 billion annually. This figure is significant when considering there are only about 1 billion cows globally, with 300 million in India where cows cannot be killed. The math suggests that the meat used for these hamburgers cannot solely come from cows. It's important to be cautious about the meat being served, especially when it comes to feeding children. The source of the meat in these hamburgers is questionable.

I avoid Chick Fil A due to the 265+ ingredients in my spicy chicken deluxe and mac and cheese. Ingredients like dimethopolysuoxane, used in anti-foaming agents, and trans fats from dough conditioners like Datum and Monoglycerides, are present. These additives are pro-inflammatory and harmful to digestion.

American food is banned in Europe in some cases, requiring ingredient changes for companies selling there. For example, Mexican Coca-Cola uses different ingredients because Europe bans high fructose corn syrup. Pesticides are another concern, as processed foods contain them. Atrazine, the second most prevalent pesticide in the U.S., is banned in Europe. Studies allegedly show that atrazine exposure converted male frogs into female frogs.

Speaker 0 hasn't eaten at McDonald's in over 10 years and wanted to test a theory about their fries. However, they couldn't get fries because it was too early. Speaker 1 explains that McDonald's uses russet Burbank Potatoes for their fries and insists on having flawless potatoes. To achieve this, farmers in Idaho use a toxic pesticide called monitor, which is so dangerous that they can't enter their fields for 5 days after spraying. The potatoes are then stored in large sheds for 6 weeks to remove the chemicals. Speaker 0 finds it crazy that McDonald's puts so many chemicals on their fries and expresses their dissatisfaction.

Air fryers are popular in South Korea and around the world, but a new study warns about the potential dangers of overcooking food in them. The Korea Consumer Agency conducted an experiment using 10 air fryer models and found that cooking a small amount of frozen fries for a long time at high temperatures can emit a toxic substance called acrylamide. This substance exceeds EU standards for frozen fries by 3.4 times and Korean standards by 1.7 times. Acrylamide is considered a potentially cancer-causing chemical and can have serious health effects. Even when following instructions or using auto cooking mode, 4 out of the 10 models emitted acrylamide above the EU standard. Emissions decreased with reduced temperature and larger food batches. It is recommended to cook fries until they are a light golden yellow color to minimize risks.

Fruit from the supermarket is often treated with SmartFresh, a product that preserves freshness. The process involves placing fruit in a sealed chamber, introducing SmartFresh to water to create gas, and letting the fruit absorb it for about 24 hours. A time-lapse comparison shows that treated apples remain unchanged over three months, while untreated ones deteriorate. Many consumers are unaware that the fruit they buy can be nearly a year old. SmartFresh's active ingredient is methylcyclopropene (MCP), a simple hydrocarbon similar to butane and propane, raising concerns about its petroleum-based origins. SmartFresh is also approved for use with organic produce, leaving many unaware of its widespread application.

Most US chickens are bathed in small amounts of chlorine during processing to kill pathogens. These chilling baths often contain antimicrobial chemicals, and a tiny amount gets absorbed into the meat. US government regulators claim this chlorine use is safe and effective, breaking down into safe byproducts. However, most European officials disagree, fearing chlorine causes cancer. The EU has banned US poultry for nearly two decades, costing US poultry farmers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Some claim political science has trumped sound science. An alternative approach involves blasting freshly slaughtered birds with very cold air for several hours to kill harmful pathogens. This air-chilled chicken costs about $2 more per pound. The USDA insists that antimicrobial agents like chlorine used by the poultry industry have been deemed safe and suitable by the FDA.

Eating McDonald's fries is like smoking 25 cigarettes due to toxic chemicals from seed oils used in frying. These oils produce cancer-associated chemicals when heated. Cooking fries in tallow is a healthier option as saturated fats do not create harmful byproducts. Next time you eat fast food fries, consider the cigarette-like health risks.

America's food is banned in 30 countries and is allegedly killing people. Lay's potato chips, for example, have different ingredients in America versus Europe. Over 10,000 food chemicals are allowed in the American food system that are not allowed in other countries. This makes it easier for food companies and gives products longer shelf life due to the chemicals. When people lobby for healthier food choices, the food industry lobbies against it with millions of dollars.

Chuck Benbrook states that American farmers are as reliant on pesticides as they were 30-40 years ago. Pesticides seem like a simple solution for farmers dealing with weeds, insects, or plant diseases and have created a profitable industry. Farmers have become overly reliant on them, and the adverse effects of pesticides on the pests themselves has become a huge problem.

Monsanto scientists discovered bacteria at a chemical waste dump that could survive Roundup herbicide. They took the gene from the bacteria and inserted it into soybeans, creating Roundup Ready soybeans. These soybeans can be sprayed with Roundup without dying, but it kills other plant biodiversity. Roundup's active ingredient, glyphosate, was patented as a chelator that deprives plants of essential minerals and harms beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Livestock in the US consume Roundup Ready crops, leading to nutrient-deficient food. The toxins in genetically modified feed can accumulate in animals and their milk, posing a risk to human health. The majority of Canadian and American crops are genetically modified or contaminated. Genetic modifications are primarily done to make plants resistant to chemicals and animals resistant to drugs, but consuming them can alter our genes permanently.

Zen from Moms Across America conducted testing on 21 fast food brands, including Chick Fil A. The results were concerning. One Chick Fil A sandwich contained an aviary contraceptive, which could have unknown effects on humans. Additionally, to meet the recommended daily intake of copper, a person would need to consume 9 servings of Chick Fil A chicken nuggets. For vitamin B3, a woman would have to eat 333 sandwiches, while a man would need 380. This highlights the toxicity and nutrient deficiency in fast food, including Chick Fil A. It is advisable to spend a few extra minutes cooking organic meals at home for better health.

French fries from McDonald's contain more acrolein, a toxic substance found in cigarette smoke, than a pack of Marlboro Reds. Acrolein can cause cancer by damaging DNA metabolic pathways. It is important to avoid this harmful substance and not feed McDonald's french fries to yourself or your children. Surprisingly, these fries have more acrolein than over 100 cigarettes. This information is crucial for people to be aware of.

The University of Nebraska tested a quarter-pound patty destined for McDonald's to determine the number of DNA strains present. The test revealed over 1,300 different strains of DNA in that single patty, which is a concerning finding. In contrast, the speaker's shop processes one animal, using all the whole muscle trim from that single animal to produce their ground beef. This means there are over 1,300 different animals represented in one McDonald's quarter-pound patty, compared to one animal in all the ground beef chubs sold at the shop. The speaker suggests consumers consider this when purchasing beef and recommends buying American and buying local.

McDonald's insists on using Russet Burbank potatoes for their French fries because they want them to be long and visually appealing. However, these potatoes are difficult to grow and often have a common defect called net necrosis. To eliminate this defect, farmers in Idaho use a highly toxic pesticide called monitor, which requires them to stay away from their fields for 5 days after spraying. After harvesting, the potatoes are stored in large sheds for 6 weeks to remove the chemicals. This desire for a specific type of chip leads to a specific type of agriculture.

Farmers in Northern Lucknow use cola companies as cost-effective pesticides, as spraying their fields with colas is cheaper than traditional pesticides. However, a study by the center for science and environment found that 57 samples of Cola drinks had pesticide residue levels 24 times higher than agreed limits. Both Pepsi and Coke deny any wrongdoing, but this is the second condemnation in three years, leading many to doubt their claims and product quality.

Spend all this money so that your apple wouldn't brown when sliced. So this non browning apple and non browning potato uses something called double stranded RNA. A little piece of RNA is created in these crops that silence the gene that normally causes the browning. Now, many scientists all over the world are concerned that that little snippet that we eat might reprogram or silence our DNA. Over a period of the next few weeks, over 1,400 genes change levels of expression compared to those that didn't have that meal. So that's 10% of the genome. We also know that certain mice can change their gene expression when they are eating double stranded RNA. And in spite of those peer reviewed published studies, the USDA allowed it on the market.

Insects, fungal diseases, and weeds end up on our dinner plates, despite what some may claim. A study found that residents living close to pesticide-sprayed fields in California's Central Valley had a 75% increased risk of Parkinson's disease. This neurodegenerative disease raises questions about what is causing nerve damage. The Central Valley, the most heavily farmed region in the US, uses cultural chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides, which target insects' nervous systems, can also harm human nerves. France has recognized this link, listing Parkinson's as an occupational disease for agricultural and vineyard workers in 2012.

80% of Americans have Roundup in their urine. Roundup contains glyphosate, a powerful herbicide, and was introduced to commercial agriculture in 1974. Its use wasn't widespread until 1996, when Monsanto began selling genetically modified seeds resistant to Roundup. This allowed farmers to spray entire crop beds without harming their crops. 87% of children have glyphosate in their system. Roundup is allegedly dangerous and illegal in some countries, but making it illegal in America would impact monocrop agriculture companies.

Chick Fil A mac and cheese contains banned ingredients like hydrogenated soybean oil, which is illegal in Europe and the US. Fast food companies use a margarine blend to include it. Eating high-quality, unprocessed foods is crucial for good health. Making better dietary choices can help heal and reverse many diseases. Doctors may not emphasize this, but diet plays a significant role in health. It's important to be aware of harmful ingredients in food and make informed choices.

Bananas are washed, sprayed with insecticides, cut, and then dipped in fungicides to prevent them from rotting during their journey to supermarkets. The workers pack for ten hours a day, six days a week, earning less than 250 euros per month. Chemical products are stored nearby, but filming is not allowed. The chef refuses to disclose the list of chemicals, considering it a secret recipe. However, there is a wide range of options, including insecticides, fungicides, and nematicides, all highly dangerous and toxic to humans and the environment. The company used to use banned products in the European Union, such as the 4-tooth, deemed too hazardous for human health.

The McDonald's Big Mac contains more than just bread and beef. The bun has canola and soybean oil, along with sugar. The pickles have 10 ingredients, including potassium sorbate, polysorbate 80, and aluminum salts. The lettuce is plain, but the secret sauce has seed oils, canola oil, soybean oil, propylene glycol, high fructose corn syrup, and caramel color. There's another beef patty, more secret sauce, and a piece of American cheese that's not real cheese and contains microplastics. This is why many Americans are unhealthy. It's better to eat real food like meat, organs, fruit, honey, and raw dairy, and avoid ultra-processed food like the Big Mac.

In The United Kingdom there are only three ingredients to McDonald's french fry: potatoes, oil, and salt. In The U. S. 19 ingredients. The rest of them are chemicals. Chemicals to keep the oil from foaming, chemicals to make the potato look better, chemicals to make a cheaper food be able to taste a little bit better. That's a huge industry.

Grocery store produce misting may involve more than just water. A strong chemical odor was detected at a Sprouts store in Florida, prompting an investigation into what is being sprayed on produce. The product Produce Max, used for misting, crisping, and washing produce, contains sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach. Chemstar, the manufacturer, advises customers to avoid inhaling the undiluted vapor or mist, yet shoppers are exposed to it in diluted form in stores. The company also disclaims liability for problems arising from the product's use. Produce Max is used by retailers including Sprouts, HEB, Harris Teeter, and Safeway, though not necessarily at every location. Consumers are advised to check with their local stores and consider whether they are comfortable with this product being sprayed on their produce.
