    Oh, and additional confusion-that pink sofrt serve looking stuff is what makes the chicken mcnuggets NOT the burgers.
    The pink slime being referred to as recently discontinued is for the burgers:

    Yes, I get it. My point is that the image associated with this pink slime stuff is NOT the stuff used for the burgers. It is the stuff used to make chicken mcnuggets.

    Furthermore, McDonalds is 99.67% terrible for you. Its saving grace are the apples...with which they provide caramel dunking sauce...also total crap for you.

    Feel free to eat what you like, moderation is wonderful, but let's not kid ourselves here. It is bad for you, the end.

    Not mythical. We have a doctor in town who has had the same unmolded Happy Meal on her counter for 2 years. Sick.

    The myth is about why it occurs. Check the link I posted.

    the thing that freaks me out is no burger should take 35 seconds to cook lol, used to work there and never wanted to eat it, i used to make my self meat less bigmacs with double everthing (except the sauce and cheese) ironically it tasted pretty much the same, which is kinda freaky

I almost passed out when I went to Burger King and saw a big mac for like 900 calories..just for the burger!! everything was over 800 calories!!! OMG can we say!!.....==))

    Hey at this rate only 100 more years before they start using grass fed beef. Of course by then all of our burgers will be in pill form anyway.

    Until then I will still enjoy a nice double quarter pounder with cheese (from time to time :-) )

    Oh my! Aren't we a little presumptious............? If you don't like it, don't eat. Don't judge others who do and tell them they are not serious about health. That is YOUR opinion, not what they are doing. Hate McDonald's all you want, but stop making people feel like they are dirt because they enjoy it. GEESH!

    dirt? oh come on. that is really stretching and twisting what I said. truth is truth. eating garbage when you dont have to means you arent serious about your health.

    who gives a ****? whatever they're using makes their burgers/bread last for YEARS without molding over. just wrong.

    You can do that with a homemade (organic, etc.) burger and bun too. All you have to do is make sure they are small enough to dry before they start to mold. What do you think beef jerky, or dried fruit, or even crackers are? I wish people would let the whole doesn't mold thing drop already.

    Actually being healthy and fit means you CAN eat MdDonalds sometimes and stay healthy and fit.

    Ewww...now I remember why I strongly dislike McDonalds. Besides working there for a while.

    I am so grossed out about McDonalds! I recently read that their chicken nuggets were only 50% chicken and some of the ingredients including silicone and butane! Every once in a while I would by my young girls Happy Meals from there.... never again! I cannot believe that it is legal to feed people that crap!!!

    So if I enjoyed a Big Mac from time to time, got physicals and lab work done with no negative results, then I'd still not be serious about my health?

    How are we defining "serious about health" here? To me, being serious about my health doesn't require me to freak out about fast food unless there's some specific evidence from my doctor indicating that I should be worried.

    McDonald haters will have to find something else to hate on.

    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/mcdonald-confirms-no-longer-using-pink-slime-chemicals-171209662.html
    I never had an issue with how they process food.
    Their job is not to get me fit and healthy but to continue to provide fabulous food that's cheap.
    McD is like the Heart Attack grill.
    I go there to eat well and indulge - not to nibble on cubed tofu and soy wafers.
    If you don't like it, don't go.
    Most of the world will, and that's why McD always does so well - even in the worst of economic times.

    didnt say you have to freak out. the ingredients in that meal are mostly junk and have no real value. why go backwards to get the tasty fat and sodium. much better choices available

    the chemicals explain the hurt burn I got after eating there the other day (I was in a hurry and needed food)

    This discussion is making me crave a quarter pounder with some cheese. I can watch footage of factory food processing all day and it still don't confront my love of greasy, nasty fast food.

    PS, I thought the pink slime was ground up chicken bits that they were washing with ammonium nitrate. Oooh, sweet nitrates...

    Thanks for not answering my questions, I guess. My point is that health, and what is required to be healthy, is relative. One shouldn't assume fast food in moderation is going to cause any problems.

    I don't eat Mc Donald's but that is also a myth............
    I agree! Anyone who believes this has never had a kid leave part of a Happy Meal in the backseat. Find that a week later and tell me it doesn't mold.....

    That being said, I haven't had McDonald's since I started this in July, but I do love Big Macs!

    Back up your claims, people!
