Mmm... or Vienna Sausages! Canned corned beef!
Oh potted meat! I used to like that when I was a kid. I wonder if I still like it.Well I would say eww to the McRib but I have been known to eat potted meat & I don't think the ingredients are much better for that. :laugh:
I've never had a McRib- mostly because it reminds me of the weird fake ribs they served for school lunch. I don't want my meat to look like it has bones in it if it doesn't :sick:0 -
It's amazing what the fast food industry will pass off as food. Whole foods always taste better to me and I don't tend to over eat when eating them. For the most part, I boycott them all. Although, I did stop recently at Wendy's for a baked potato. Hopefully they don't mess with them (LOL).
It pisses me off, alot of these additives really mess with your health and are addictive. It comes down to making the cheapest "food" for these corporations, and poor people get sucked in because dollar for dollar its cheaper to feed their families there then make a healthier choice at home......0 -
Vienna sausages, I can take it or leave it. But give me some of that nasty corned beef any day. I like to mix it up with some yellow mustard. That stuff looks like dog food, lol!

Yes, I love vienna sausages too! :happy:0 -
It is still food, regardless of the quality.It's amazing what the fast food industry will pass off as food.
The jury is till out on whether in fact fast food is addicting. A federal court threw the case out in '03.It pisses me off, alot of these additives really mess with your health and are addictive.
I beg to differ. In general, despite extensive government subsidies, hyperprocessed food remains more expensive than food cooked at home.

I like my canned corned beef with mayo and a little mustard in a toasted bread sandwich with a leaf of lettuce. It does look like dog food, but oh so tasty!

Chicken goop for their mcnuggets! Nom nom nom
Really Pink Goo? WTF?0 -
I'm just putting it out there...
Assuming a lot of you "ZOMG GROSS NEVER EATING IT AGAIN" people are omnivorous..
You eat meat, legs, rumps, etc (You know that's muscle, right?) what's wrong with eating the "whole animal".. the intestines, and offal bits.. REALLY what is the different between eating the leg of an animal and the kidney? It's still animal, right? It's still tasty "until you found out what was really in it" right? I just don't get it.0 -
Tamales? Driving 26 miles for a McRib without guilt?I think one of the top 5 things I miss about Houston is real spicy pork tamales made with LARD.
So, sooo good.
That said, McRib time only comes around once a year, and I'm driving 26 miles into town to get one of them on Sunday. I've been a good girl, I won't go over my cal mark and I'm not gonna feel even a little bit guilty about it.
Nom!
When I lived in Houston, the *best* tamales were always sold out of roach coaches and by little old ladies straight from a battered Igloo cooler. They could have put rat droppings and pencils shaving in them for all I know, doesn't matter, they were freaking delicious.
I wouldn't say I'd drive all that way specifically for a McRib but I have to drive that far once a week for supplies and groceries anyway and I'm darned sure getting my slab of greasy mutant goodness while I'm there.0 -
That's just plain McNasty! Thanks for posting this, my husband likes the McRib so I'll be sharing this with him :sick:0

I find nothing objectionable about grinding up parts of the pig that people don't like the texture of and turning them into a tasty patty. To be against eating innards is to be in favor of wasting food. If you won't eat innards and organ meats, you shouldn't be allowed to eat meat at all. Sausage, scrapple, etc. exist to make this food palatable to the squeamish. Eat them, or be a vegetarian.0

:flowerforyou:
Yes, I'm an omnivore. No, I am not disgusted by the part of the animal used in my food. Of course fast food is made with so-called "questionable" parts. It's cheaper, it's ground up, and it's homogenized. That's why it's fast food and cheap food. Why are we so surprised?0 -
Gave that stuff up many years ago. You are what you eat. McHoof, McSnout, and McRectum.0
-
Im not against eating the innards.... I find the taste of the mcrib nasty and the smell nauseating. Thats why I dont eat it. Then again, I work there so it all tastes and looks nasty to me now being there 6 months. lol. Oh, and I could live without the chemicals. Really? Stuff used to make plastic in the food? Is THAT necessary for taste reasons?0

Mmmmmm... McDonalds.....

If you liked the McRib, you'll LOVE menudo!...tripe...
No, seriously. When menudo (made with tripe) is made right, there's nothing better.
I think menudo is just as nasty as the McRib! I have no desire to eat intestine!0 -
Tripe is stomach lining, not intestine. Intestine can be yummy though! Like any food, the preparation is key to its tastiness or nastiness. I keep an open mind, and will try anything that is prepared hygienically.

Yes, we do need to take responsibility for our choices. I agree with you for the most part. I use the word "addictive" loosely. We do become creatures of habit, as people improve their diets most often people crave what is healthy, are more aware what foods make their body feel good and set new priorities. Yes, there are ways to make healthy food at home and save $. I think the mass advertising of the dollar menu keeps making fast food cheaper, while the lack of nutrition in the food makes people overeat as they aren't getting the nutrients the body needs. When I eat fresh fruits and vegetables, I think they taste delicious, other people think its rabbit food. If you have 3 items off the dollar menu compared to a dinner of 6oz salmon, grilled asparagus and a sweet potato, and you're poor which are you going to be able to afford?0 -
Change the salmon for a piece of chicken and the asparagus for green beans. You'll get great nutrition for less money.Yes, we do need to take responsibility for our choices.

An example provided in the article:
it's a fantastic read, that dispels the myth that healthy eating is more expensive than fast food and junk food.You can serve a roasted chicken with vegetables along with a simple salad and milk for about $14, and feed four or even six people. If that’s too much money, substitute a meal of rice and canned beans with bacon, green peppers and onions; it’s easily enough for four people and costs about $9. (Omitting the bacon, using dried beans, which are also lower in sodium, or substituting carrots for the peppers reduces the price further, of course.)0 -
Heck, I bet McRectum wouldn't be so bad in moderation if it were cooked right and had a little hot sauce on it.
If they ever come out with the McJudgemental though, I'll give it a pass for sure.0 -
The OP forgot the main ingredient! DELICIOUSNESS!0

To ElExGordo:
I agree it can be done.

It will be done! It must be done!To ElExGordo:

I kid. It is good to spread the word, though. 0 -
I have never had the pleasure of one of these sandwiches. I never will either0

This says it all:
you have been warned.

Can you authenticate this picture?This says it all:

I've scoured the web and cannot find a legitimate site that can authenticate that McDonalds has ever had a warning like this on their packaging.
From Snopes: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=51719
The California law that would have made this labeling mandatory was tossed out over five years ago: http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Regulation/California-withdraws-proposed-acrylamide-warning-rules
Does not look too promising that it is a real image. More likely a doctored image or package, reflecting what some folks would have liked to have seen on the packaging.
If you cannot authenticate it, then I would recommend removing it.0
