McDonalds Rant

[Maurice Johnson]

True story.

We had one McDonalds here in Bermuda 15 years ago, on the U.S Air Force base. Us natives were allowed passes to eat there on Wednesday nights. Clinton closed the base, we got the property back. Our Government leader tried to keep the franchise for himself. We fired him and changed the Gummint to the other party. Dunno which is worse, McD, or the Gummint.

Back when I worked for the paging company my territory was about 1/3 of Georgia and 1/4 of Florida.

The McDonalds in almost any small town was great, In the city it was usually lousy.

IE: "rush fries" barely off-white, limp, potato noodles. Undercooked meat on a stale bun. And of course the watery 2oz of Coke in a cup full of ice.

No way in hell I'll eat at a BK, unless for some reason I feel the need to barf. McDonalds hasn't had good coffee for at least ten years... (used to be the best stuff)

Now those Hardee's mushroom swiss burgers... Not to mention the "triple bypass" breakfast biskut. (ham, bacon and sausage)

Would rather have Lion's Choice, but the golden arches "normally" provide what I think I should get.

You "In & Out Burger" folks have it made. Me? Sonic when its MY choice. McDs put that "order readout" thingy at the drive in to make sure YOU knew what you ordered. Like I need to be reminded. Problem is, the dimwit at the stove does not read. How phuking hard can it be?

Just think about the cost of chicken skin and what happens to the profit margin if you incorporate some of that really low cost stuff in your product.

You kwazy kanuck...the nuggets are simply the delivery system for the sweet-n-sour sauce.

The other 2/3rds is recycled seat cushions...

Now Jamo knows what that smell is...

What smell?

Now I get it.

But, can you provide some insight as to why they no longer have the hot sauce for the breakfast buritos?

BTW, extensive research by consumer advocate groups has proven that chickens have wings, thighs, etc, but no nuggets.

Rent the movie "Fast Food Nation" or purchase the book of the same title - they show how cows are hanging, guts taken out (one knife to the bladder area) as a waterfall of poop comes flowing out - it's not like they're going to remove it from the rest of the meat, it all gets mixed in with fast food restaurants instructed to cook the meat at a specific temperature to kill as much of the bacteria and e-coli as possible.

Actually, the USDA currently allows trace amounts of fecal matter but the book and movie indicates that it's much higher than trace amounts.

Production need dictates that one doesn't stop the conveyor belt to sort out poop - a cheap burger is the end game.

So, if you request - for example a medium rare burger like Obama did the other day, the poop is for sure not cooked out.

Basically, I don't eat anything that poops.

i had other ideas, glad you clarified. that is right up there with some info i got from a durkee foods engineer, don't ever use ground black pepper, from anywhere. he stated that the pepper line was the butt hole of the plant. there are more insects than pepper in that ground black menagerie. whole peppercorns and grind your own.

Or you could go into a real kill room at a meat packing plant and see what really goes on instead of reading/watching some hit piece that has more to do with animal-rights agendas than food safety.

Let me know, and I'll be happy to take you into one.

Or maybe you'd like me to tell you what you're eating with your fruits and vegetables? I'm sure there's nothing but wholesome goodness in your breakfast cereal.

Does that offer extend to anybody interested?

Quite honestly, I think the animals we kill and eat have a better death than the ones our ancestors used to beat to death with a stick.

Although I still think the best way to eat most fish is right off the fish.

FWB - I'm not sure you are getting this. Plants don't have butt holes - cows have butt holes and basically they poop all day long. Separating the poop from the meat is not always done well - besides, all the ingredients of poop come from body parts, so simply eating meat results in eating poop - now, not a lot of poop, but some poop. Therefore, you are a poop eater or not - your choice.

Yes, my cereal is practically certified poop free! I'm not a poop eater, unlike many Cobra owners - not that there is anything wrong with that.

I'll pass on the visit to the meat packing plant, actually slaughterhouse as most people do although as Ralph Waldo Emerson stated “You have just dined, and whereas the slaughter house is gracefully hidden by a multitude of miles, there is complicity.”

(from Old McDonald’s Farm)

Isn't man an amazing animal?

He kills wildlife — birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes, and dingoes — by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed.

Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them.

This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative — and fatal — health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer.

So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.

Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.

Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for 'Peace on Earth.'"

True, but in many cases - it will kill you over time so Nietzsche must have been thinking short-term.

It's interesting that you believe that poop makes you stronger. Why not go for a bigger portion of poop if that's the case?

Ya damn right. What's your point?

...and by the way, whether you eat it or not...you are most certainly full of it (as we all are on occasion in the Lounge).

Actually, I'm simply trying to keep you alive. Eating poop cannot be good for you (you do agree with that, right?), so I'm simply making sure that you and other members have the information, e.g. based on your fast food habit you are more than likely a huge poop eater. With that said, I've made my contribution to the overall health of ClubCobra, so my work is done for this day. It's not necessary to thank me, it's what I do.

As far as me being full of poop, it's simply not logical for you to come to that conclusion - Spock would be very upset at you. I'd say that it's more likely that you and, for example ComputerWorks are huge poop eaters; on a daily diet of fast food, including a generous helping of poop - therefore, you are both huge poop eaters - this is not rocket science - eat poop each day, you are naturally a huge poop eater. There is simply no other logical conclusion since it's even confirmed by the USDA that trace amounts of poop are contained in burgers. I'm simply stating that "trace amounts" doesn't cover the actual volume, so who do you beleive: me or the federal government under Obama?

Try this, just order the burger next time - rare, no condiments, no bread, etc. - taste it - that's the tast of poop. You may think it tastes like 'meat' but that's only because of mental conditioning, probably covering your entire life. Also, take a look at the people working in, for example, McDonald's - they cooked your burger - do you think that they care whether or not most of the poop was cooked out? Would you allow any one of them to cook your food at home? What with the pimples and not washing their hands after pooping, etc YIKES!

As I've stated, there is nothing wrong with being a huge poop eater, I'm simply pointing out the obvious.
