In September, Moms Across America (MAA) submitted food samples from 10 popular American food chains to the Health Research Institute, an Iowa-based nonprofit laboratory that tests food for nutritional value, biofunctionality, and contaminants and toxins, requesting that the laboratory test the samples for over 100 common veterinary drugs and hormones. MAA is a nonprofit activism group formed by mothers intending to bring awareness to food that contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides.
Molecular and chief scientist at the Health Research Institute, John Fagan, confirmed that his lab tested the food samples.
8 in 10 Popular Fast Food Chains Tested Positive
Most of the food was sampled from America's top 10 most popular food chains. Volunteers for MAA went to their local McDonald’s, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin’, Wendy’s, or Domino's stores and ordered the same meal several times.Kept in its packaging, each meal was sealed, frozen, and mailed to the Health Research Institute.
At the laboratory, the food and its packaging were ground up and then tested for veterinary drugs and hormones.
With the exception of Chipotle and Subway, all the food samples tested positive for veterinary drugs.

No surprising I guess. Unless you dont treat cattle with anything on farms and go pure "organic", I would imagine that there will be these drugs found.
The good news is
The drug concentrations in all of the food samples were below 2 micrograms per kilogram, which is significantly below the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) acceptable daily intake.

Yeah, kids need to eat a little dirt.
But... I do think some things in everyday food or drink, are having a detrimental effect, especially on kids. Sperm counts are way down in men, even young men. Female fertility seems to be down. Homosexuality rates may have doubled. Kids are heavier than in years past. Girl's menses are starting much earlier.
It all makes you wonder...

A chemist friend told me that at one time, poisons and bad things would be required to have a minimum amount of No Detectable Limit (NDL). But, with chemistry techniques getting better and better, it got to the point where almost anything could be detected, so they did away with the NDL statement.

I agree. There is something in processed foods......
Not sure what it is, but mostly not good.
