Two questions about McDonald's - (real food? burger meat?)

Setting up the TiVo.
What? I have a lot to learn on this subject...0 -
Since then, I've added a follow-up question...which would be clarification of the assertion that food from McDonald's is "crap"...
I believe it means people think McDonald's is actually *edit: an *kitten** shaped like a restaurant. I have not personally performed analysis of McDonald's building materials, so I can't verify or deny with certainty that this belief is accurate.0 -
And just so we're all clear, I'm not a big fan of McDonald's food. I just don't get the demonization of it as "non-food".
(I did wake up with a bizarre craving for a burger there last week and acted on that craving...which I think was my first McDonald's food in at least a year. It was...okay...but craving satisfied.)0 -
I don't even like McD's and this topic has me suddenly craving their fries.0

^ This. I have to be dragged there by my family, and I am trying very hard to be a "reformed" food snob. I got fat on Smith & Wollensky, not McDonald's, but the effect was exactly the same. Lesson learned.0 -
My son works for a company that jets washes the factory line down every night where they make the burgers for Mac D's they state that its 100% beef or pork, but when I've had some for the BBQ some awful residue comes out, it defo put me off

Mmmmmmm, real food!
Crap, that was big, but it just magnifies the deliciousness, no?0 -
Yes it is 100% beef. Let me temper that - Once all the edible meat is removed from the carcass, the remains are sent to a processing plant. The meat is thrown into a large centrifuge which breaks the final bit of meat off. At this stage, because of the levels of e-coli and salmonella, it is classed as animal-grade beef.
They then wash it in ammonia to kill off all the nasties. As This is a "process" rather than an ingredient, the ammonia doesn't have to be declared. However up to 15% of your mcdonalds burger (and any other large chain) contains this sub-par and chemically altered "beef".
I know 15% doesn't sound like a lot, but bbbllllleeeuuuurrggggghhhhhh!!!!0 -

they don't do this anymore. McDonald's and almost everyone else dropped the use of this product due to public outrage.0 -
We already know that it's made of pink slime, which includes meat and **** knows what else. I imagine it's similar to the "animal fat" or "animal digests" in pet foods, which consists of rendered dogs and cats amongst other parts of various animals. Sure it's meat, but I wouldn't feed it to my pets any more so than I would eat McDonald's burgers.
I believe people's imaginations may be part of the misinformation problem.0 -
Oh and IN...
n Out...
is vastly superior.
^^This, but McDonald's will work in a pinch0 -
its all dragon meat0

If I am going to eat a hamburger and French fries, then I am going to eat REAL food and go to Red Robin (best burgers anywhere) or somewhere similar!!! Make it worth it!!!0

Man Daenerys Targaryen is gonna be pissed off.0 -
I'm pretty sure I've seen a McEmployee or two chasing cattle around the parking lot out back...0

What, in your opinion, makes Red Robin burgers more real than McDonald's burgers? Or what makes McDonald's burgers less real? (...if you prefer to take that approach.)
ETA: (Personally, I agree that Red Robin burgers taste much better than McDonald's, but it could be the sauces/condiments more than anything else. That new Wolverine burger is really good...almost as good as my favorite, the Bonzai burger. That said, I don't consider it any more "real" than a McDonald's burger and suspect the nutrition is very similar.)0 -
I think its real meat...
not the best quality but real meat...0 -

Ignoring the fact that they don't use this product in their beef, and the fact that "animal-grade beef" isn't an actual thing, where is the "chemically altered" part? The cutting, or the washing?0 -
