I thought it was juicier but I hadn't had a McDonald's burger in six months or more. I will be avoiding it in the future as normal, but it was a nice diversion. Our local McDonalds has installed the touch screens and reduced their staff. I ordered part of my meal on the touch screens then stood in line to order the kids their ice cream. Took longer but I felt if I use the touch screens for everything I'm helping to eliminate jobs. Same reason I avoid the self checkouts at stores.

(I stopped eating fast food burgers some time ago after watching "Food Inc" but occasionally have a bit of my OH's to check that they still taste terrible.) Looks like they stopped using Pink Slime in 2012: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/legal-separation/

Any other fast food place is ok but Macs,,ugh It's likely the fat content. Their burger is something like 70ish percent lean, and they cook it on a flat top soaked in the grease of all the other burgers they've cooked that day lol. Then they toss the buns on that same grease to toast them.. yum.. lol. But it's a fat/grease overload and if you're used to leaner meats for your journey to a healthier you.. then yea, that's why I can rarely eat McDonalds these days as well. My stomach hates me afterward for a couple of days lol.

I believe McDonald's uses 73%.
