Yummy McDonald's??

im still never giong to step foot inside a mcdonalds ever

Pretty insidious really.....especially considering how they market to children with all the clown stuff.

inorite?

That creepy clown keeps breaking into my house at night and force-feeding Happy Meals to my children...

...and during the day, my 9- and 12-year olds keep taking the family car and buying that "food".

Evil...pure evil...how this company is compelling children against the will of and without knowledge of their parents.

No...the clown programs the children who in turn beg you to take them to McDonald's....which you do apparently. So in reality you are being controlled by a make believe clown.

I do apparently? On what logic is that assumption based?

One of us is being strangely affected by this clown. It isn't me.

The logic that I empirically trust my empathic abilities. Logic will only get you so far.

I am certainly not going to defend mc Donald's and their mass produced industrial, processed food products. I prefer real food, and cooking things myself. But, a few things mentioned in OP's post bugs me.

1) what's wrong with eating the whole part of animals, like snout to tail eating? Are we supposed to eat only the chicken breast, and throw the remaining carcass in the garbage bin? Snout to tail eating is healthier I think, different nutrients in different parts of the animal. And reduces waste.
2) the use of alkaline ingredients is used in other cooking techniques. For example, the Mayans have used lime for centuries to make corn tortillas, which breaks down the corn, releasing nutrients and making the food more digestible.

I saw this list of ammonia-containing foods, from link http://grist.org/list/ten-foods-with-more-ammonia-than-pink-slime/

According to the University of Michigan Risk Science Center, a burger patty made with pink slime contains 0.02 grams of ammonia per 100 grams of meat — but bleu cheese contains almost seven times as much.

Here are 10 foods with more ammonia than your slimy, slimy burger:

Cheese. Oh my god, cheese is like an ammonia warehouse. Domestic bleu cheese topped the list with 0.138 grams of ammonia per 100 grams, but cheddar (0.11), beer cheese (0.092), American cheese (0.081), and a couple types I’ve never heard of all ranked.

Salami, 0.11 grams of ammonia per 100 grams.

Peanut butter, 0.049 grams per 100.

Mayonnaise, 0.041 grams per 100.

Ketchup, 0.035.

Gelatin, 0.034.

Onions, 0.027.

Potato chips, 0.024, though I imagine the brand and flavor would matter.

Brewer’s yeast, 0.022.

Margarine, 0.021

So happy i gave up that garbage 2 years ago. Best decision i ever made.
