Keep in mind though that food to be sold commercially does often
require more ingredients just to keep them safe.

You should look up McD's hash browns too. I'd be interested in
seeing the ingredient list. If I make hash browns at home, it's
only potatoes and oil (and maybe a nip of butter). Bet you McD
hashbrowns have a long list of ingredients.

I don't care, I rarely eat the stuff.

IMO, the casual attitude of "no worries" is the key to long life.
