McDonald's Food Leads to Hospitalization

A 17 year old British girl found this out the hard way after a life long diet of little other than McNuggets. Her diet from basically the age of 2 was daily McNuggets, fries and toast. She ended up collapsing and being hospitalized with trouble breathing and other complications.  She said she always ate the 20 piece McNugget meal and would share them with fries with her boyfriend.

A 20 piece serving of these highly processed foods have nearly a thousand calories and almost 60 grams of fat. On top of this they have plenty of un-tasty ingredients like dimethylpolysiloxan, an antifoaming agent. And, while people will just say this is an extreme case, and it is, it illuminates the lack of health in our fast food. What place does silicone, stabilizers and  preservatives have in our food supply?

Should McNuggest and similar items have to be labeled, ingredients fully disclosed? Would people turn them down if they saw ingredients like silicone and  dimethylpolysiloxan ?  What do you think?
