INGREDIENT OF THE DAY: Dipotassium Phosphate
Today, once again, I focus my attention on fast food restaurants and the prevalence of industrial ingredients in their products. I evaluate two of the most iconic American restaurants: Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Along the way, we’ll look at some history, some nutritional facts, and some truly astounding findings about the ingredients in a basic fried chicken meal. Even after 3 years of doing this podcast, I was still shocked by what I found.
