Fun Factoids

I'm finally reading the Omnivore's Dilemma, in which I have learned the following, among many interesting things:

1. One in three children in the United States eats fast food every day
2. Chicken mcnuggets contain, in addition to a flammable carcinogen, a form of butane that a single gram of "can cause 'nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.'"

That's what happens when you concentrate "awesome" into solid form.
