Carcinogen Found in Burger King, McDonald's, and Friendly's Meals

Burger King tells its customers, "Have it your way." For a Connecticut breast cancer survivor, having it her way would mean the fast-food chain would post warnings in all its restaurants about the carcinogen in its grilled chicken.

I don't know why anyone would want to eat that crap anyway

It has to be the method in which fast foods are cooked.

I was in a pinch the other day and stopped at a BK to try the veggie burger--it was disgusting-- but I'd have to say, I do appreciate that bean and veggie burgers are becoming available on more fast food menus...Also, was out of town awhile back and my little brother brought over BK while babysitting my kitties. He told me that it was the first time he'd ever had meat and the cats sniffed it and turned away. That says a lot to me considering my Romeo has pigged out getting into an Allsups Bean Burrito and even taken off with a green bean I dropped in the kitchen and actually growled at the others to protect his green find.

This doesn't surprise me.

is it cooking at high temp or the formation of the grill marks?

This should not be a revelation to anyone. We can, and often do, cook up these carcinogens in our own kitchens, (or BBQs). Join the 'slow food' movement.
