Tripe heart and stomach? If you can hide those extremely healthy things into a delicious sandwich, why wouldn't you eat it?

I must agree. Pioneers lived long lives (assuming they didn't get eaten by wolves or catch some horrible disease) eating that kind of stuff. And other countries eat all that, anyway. Americans are the weirdos.

I don't really consider 500 calories a surprise or "whopping"...

Meh. I don't like the mcrib anyway. Give me a double quarter pounder with cheese.

More McRibs for the rest of us who love them.

To each his own. I've never agreed with the way McDonald's runs their business.

I have never liked them, and don't eat at McDonalds anymore. But scalded stomach sounds revolting, and I don't see how you can read that and the fact that there are over 70 things in them and still like them!

They lost me at "restructured meat technology.".....not that I was really there in the first place.
In my youth I wore a hairnet and a name tag for one long, hot summer. Never really was a fan of fast food after that. heh.

I still like them

I double meat grilled chicken sandwiches there all the time. Broscience dictates one must keep protein intake above 1kg/lb. of LBM.

Fast food is disgusting anyway!

No surprises to me here

It's not surprising at all. I don't eat McAnything and never have (except hungover in college lol). It's not real food.

Everytime it comes back I usually have to have 1, this time I have vowed not to have any.

I just read that whole article and am still having trouble finding the "disgusting tidbits".

After all the hype I finally tried one this year. It was ok. Pretty disappointing in relation to the hype though. It's like the fast food version of a bbq pork sandwich. Of course The Real Thing is going to be better. The redeeming quality is that it cost only $2.39 or something around there.

maillemaker

I'd rather eat some real ribs.

Same here. I looked up disgusting ingredients and one of the items on the list was rennet to make cheese. Rennet is cow's stomach. Before factories came along to turn milk into cheese (using chemical processes and unnatural ways of making cheese) this is the way it was done. And human's have been using rennet to make cheese for a long, long, long time.

The organs of the animal are the most nutritious parts of the animal - that being said...I'm still working on getting them in my diet and in my mouth. (I have calves liver and chicken livers in my freezer).

When they say our primitive ancestors ate lean meat because wild meat is lean - they leave out the fact that our primitive ancestors (also think Native Americans) ate almost the entire animal - any part that was edible. The organs are very fatty.

Since going Primal I have lost all taste for fast food. It is disgusting in look, texture, flavor and heaven only knows what is actually in the stuff.

Five Guys every once in a while and that is it.

Funny..........it looks real though, and I see people eating it.

WhoTheHellIsBen

OMG!!! a premolded slab of 'meat' for $3 isn't made of 100% pure white pork?!?!?! Tell me again how this is surprising in any way shape or form? Were you also one of the people in shock that chickens are not really perfectly round and pre-seasoned before death? Those McNuggets were quite the shocker huh?

"The entire McRib sandwich contains about 70 ingredients — including a flour-bleaching agent used in yoga mats."

vomit.

One of the many reasons I am a vegetarian. BARF!!! :sick:

the whopper from Burger king is 630 calories. But no one ever bad mouths anyone but MCdonalds.
