McDonalds Rant

[Ronbo]

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)

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.

Now Jamo knows what that smell is...

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.

What happened to the "I don't go there" option.

Besides, it's a bunch of primarily underage kids serving up meals - what would one expect? Think about ungrading your eating habits or eat at home - McD and others do strange things with food before you get it. I heard that they rarely serve real meat, plus the poop factor.....

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.

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.

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?

[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.

What smell?

[FWB]

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.

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.

Back to burgers........

Honestly CdC, I get your point and it is valid to a point. Couple of things though...the processing of meat products is not as bad as some would lead you to believe. If it's the grossness factor of what might be contained in minute amounts in any processed food product, then consider the little basturds that live in your carpet and upholstered furniture that find their way into your lungs and digestive tract.

BTW, I'm not that much of a fast food junkie...I do partake occasionally when on the road and have little time.

As for what's in my digestive tract, I am a big sashimi eater, so the worms feed on any animal "poop" inside of me. I am an environmentally sound eco-system in my own right.
