What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

They refer to it as " pink slime", it used to be used ONLY in pet food, but since 2001 a savings of 3 cents a pound has persuaded McDonald's that Americans would love to feed their family's dogfood as a treat.

Here is the article:

please, please, please, let them know you won't eat this ****!

Soylent Pink today, Soylent Green tomorrow!

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

They can use it all they want.
I stopped going to McDonald's many, many years ago.
That is the best way to tackle this issue.:2

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I love McDonalds! :2

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

The sad part - some children actually liked the slime! (they mentioned no exact percentage, methinks that sentence was included solely as a "Fair and Balanced" rejoinder...)

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

According to the article it is not just McDonalds --

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Accroding to the article it's not just Mcdonald's.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I find it interesting that its use in school lunch programs doesn't seem to bother anyone.

It's crap like this that makes a carnivore think more and more about becoming a vegetarian. Oh yeah, that Grade A steak you bought at the commissary? It's inflated like a balloon with chemicals they put in cigarettes and drain-o. Well, I guess my new year's eve dinner will be a bottle of scotch and some Chimay!

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

:tpd: Screw McDonalds.

PS: And I don't even like fast food. Eat it maybe 2-3 times a year.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Indeed, it's used by BK, other fast food, grocery stores and school cafeterias. It's just easier to pick on McD. It's kind of like picking on Walmart. Easy target.

Anyway, McD's burgers weren't ever that good in my generation anyway. I still enjoy their chicken though now that they've improved it.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Approved in 2007. As an insider that doesn't shock me. It also won't shock me when in a couple months it isn't approved anymore.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

The McDonalds in my neighborhood is owned by the corporation and not a franchise, and it makes all the difference. Everything that I've had there is hot, fresh, and doesn't have the construction problems that you find in other stores. Everything looks like it does in the commercials. :tu

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

And their supply comes from the same distributor. ;)

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

mc donalds products in the us taste for whatever reason better than in germany. i usually go to mc donalds when i had a couple of drinks and everything else is closed...

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Classic:r:r

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Have you tried their new Angus Burgers? Yum! :tu

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Meh, what's a little ammonia injected beef-like parts? If you swallow your chew spit, it'll clean your whole system.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

we dont have the new angus burger in germany. mfast food in the us is just better...

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Not "beef-like"; if it comes from the cow, it's beef.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Yeah, but German McDonalds serve BEER. And it's even decent beer (far better that the Bud/Miller/Coors that we would get here if McDonalds served beer here)

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

its bittburger but they serve it in plastic cups...drinking beer out of plastic bottles + cups is something that we dont like to do in germany...

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Yeah, but like I said, at least it's better than Coors/Bud/Miller or none at all.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

When I was in the Navy, my first meal when we got back from patrol was two Big Macs, 20 Mc nuggets (with hot mustard sauce) and a six-pack of Bud. There were times at sea when I would have done almost anything for a Big Mac!

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Yum?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Yum.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Bitburger is pretty much the German equivalent to Coors/Bud/Miller.

Fast food in Germany is different, and it is probably better in the states...but food overall in Germany is much better than in the states. So I'm perfectly fine with that.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Ehh i knew somethin wasnt right with this stuff. id doesnt even fill me up i dont know why i got there occasionally.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Been there, done that, sobered up before I got the tattoo though.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

So basically its in cooking oil, supermarket ground beef, and public school lunches. Why is McDonalds being thrown under the bus for using it?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

It depends on how you look at it. Sure, it's a high production, widely distributed, "simple" beer, and in those regards, yes, it is kind of a German equivalent of Bud/Miller/Coors. But, unlike Bud/Miller/Coors, it's not an adjunct beer (at least the pilsner anyway, not sure about Bitburgers other brews) and still follows in the reinheitsgebot tradition. Probably also uses higher quality ingredients too.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Say what you want; I love the stuff, and I always have. I will never forget my first Big Mac. Don't get me wrong, I love fine cusine as much as anyone can, but fast food rocks as well, I love it! If you think about it; even the poorest people can now afford to eat meat because of it. I don't think my ancestors in Ireland could, at least more than once or twice a year.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Because if it said that no one would read the story or this thread?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I think you misunderstand me brother. I was talking about the making a beeline for fast food and beer the moment you are cleared to go ashore. Did that number many times myself. As for the tattoo part it's a whimsical play on a sea story that involves fast food, getting kicked out of a soju tent for being too drunk, a tattoo parlor and a few other things...

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Tell me the story; I was that guy! :r

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

You too eh?

I look back at that night and think just how drunk was I? Kerist, I got thrown out of a Soju tent, a _freaking_ Soju tent, in a back alley no less. This is like one step above swilling out of a paper bag on the curb in front of a liquor store located on the wrong side of the tracks...

Oh, and that anti-gwailo warning system they have? Wasn't that just grand? The little old lady who threw us out, sticking her head out of the tent screaming at what seemed to be about the same volume as the ships steam whistle, and then every other damn tent in the city repeating it so no one would serve us anymore that night...

And then the day after... Ohhhh, what the hell is it that they put in Soju, formaldehyde? If not, it sure felt like it.

I look back at those days and wonder, just how much lower could we have sunk? LOL.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Eating brains from a monkey whose skull is opened at your table doesn't sound so bad now, eh?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Dude, maybe that was all you; I was Sublant out of Holy Loch. :r Man, it rocks being a Squid, don't it?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I hear they're tasty.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

If there is anything better than a McRib sandwich, can someone please point it out to me?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Yeah, we all had some times back then. Strange how we look back on getting thrown out of places like that as badges of honor isn't it?

Oh, no wait, we called that "World Travel" and "Experiencing Other Cultures". :D

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I got my first tat in the Navy. I was sober :)

Mickey D's was always the first place I went when the boat got home. Big Mac smothered with sweet-n-sour sauce. Those were the days. Then off to the liquor store........

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Things have a funny way of looking better in the rear view mirror. I wasn't usually thrown out, as much as dragged out by Shore Patrol.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Boat? Were you a Bubblehead, too?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

I haul about 1.5 million pounds of beef a week from Cargill for my company. The sanitary testing is very stringent. My trucks are regularly delayed because product has been held up for USDA testing. Even though a beef recall makes big news it happens incredibly infrequently when you consider the volume of beef produced annually. The USA butchers over 300,000,000 cattle annually. Being a natural product, there are inherent risks with contamination. You've all seen farms at one time or another. They're dirty. Some of that dirt/mud/feces/urine muck that cattle walk in is gong to occasionally make it into the food chain. Our food production and distribution systems are the cleanest in the history of mankind. The use of ammonia is not a problem. The problem is that Beef Products was exempted from testing and recall.

By the way, do you guys realize that the chickens you buy, even the organic free range ones, are washed in bleach after they're butchered?

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

"With the U.S.D.A.’s stamp of approval, the company’s processed beef has become a mainstay in America’s hamburgers. McDonald’s, Burger King and other fast-food giants use it as a component in ground beef, as do grocery chains. The federal school lunch program used an estimated 5.5 million pounds of the processed beef last year alone"

It's not just McDonalds.

Stopped eating fast food (with rare exception) in the late '90's and have ground beef and pork at home for nearly as long. The wife has bought ground beef at the market from time to time. After reading this that will not happen again.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

What does being a bubblehead have to do with calling your ship a boat? I was on the Shitty-Kitty (CV-63) out of NAS Coronado, we all referred to her as a boat.

Re: What Mc Donald's is feeding you...
 

Nope. I worked on the flight deck of the USS Tarawa (LHA-1) out of 32nd Street. We all called her a boat.
