Mc Donalds Question

[livnxxxl]

McDonald's burgers are not made from american cows.

They import their beef from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

Of course I should have guessed that they are not made in America. What is these days? I am surprised that the meat does not come from China to.

That's what I call them, too.

I loved them as a kid and hadn't ordered one for years until a few weeks ago (I was feeling nostalgic). Talk about a MAJOR disappointment. Much smaller than I remember and the durned thing cost about 3 bucks. Buh.

I have a guilty pleasure of eating at Mc'd's every once in a great while to. Then when I do it always reminds me why I do not eat there more often.

3 bucks for a Wonderbread PB&J sandwich would have been a FAR better deal.

And better tasting to. And probably even more healthier for you as well.

how are the farmers that produce beef able to meet demands?

If you take a good look at their cow to person population in their countries, you'll see that cows outnumber humans.

This month was my first time I must say for visiting a McDonald's that was some what up scale for McDonald's anyway. This place was "way different" compared to many regular McDonald's. Different as in good. I am not big into fast food so this type of place may have been in existence for some time. It was definitely a new experience for me and my gf during some of our travels.

I have seen certain McDonald´s restaurants with themes. In Georgia there is a rock n roll McDonalds.

I was wondering if I opened one up could I make it into a theme too? I would take us back to the seventies with ALL the Ronald Mcdonaldland characters. Screw you HR Pufnstuff!!!

I mean if you advertised an action figure with a lot of detail etc and end up getting a molded piece of plastic, people would be screaming false advertising, how do the food joints get a pass on this?

I tend to think that people that are supposed to be in charge of monitoring this kind of stuff tend to look the other way a lot.

Their like the old comic book ads for the life size ghost and you get a piece of white plastic. lol

Hey, It worked then so they figured why not now. Screwing people is one of the oldest professions there is and sadly it still holds true today.

I have thought about walking into a McDonald's with a picture of a Big Mac from one of their commercials and telling them that I want mine made just like this (meat hanging off the bun, large amounts of lettuce, etc.).

I wish everyone would take that stand. Things would take a serios change in the people's favor. There is power in numbers. People often tend to forget that they serve us. We do not serve them.

The Big Mac sucks...it's all shredded lettuce and thin arse patties...and I really hate that thousand island sauce too...

McDonalds burgers have gotten a lot smaller over the years.

A Big Mac today is mostly just bread

This is the trend more all the time. Pay more and get less.

I was watching CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND today and noticed a Mc ds sign stating it had served over 24 billion now this was 1977 were at 2010 , how many burgers do they sell today and how are the farmers that produce beef able to meet demands when the cut for hamburger meat is either good meat or crap meat. I tried to do the math theirs not enough cows for this ?????? GOVERMENT CONSPIRACY-ALIENS-MC DONALDS own genetic breedig ground COWS with 6 leggs like the colonels chicken?????

I am thinking cloning. There is going to be way more mouths to feed than food to eat eventually. The world cannot continue to carry on like it is. The math just does not add up. I believe this is where the term dying in the land of plenty will be finally realized.

Who REALLY knows what we are being fed these days. ??? Whether it be from the restaurant, grocery store or any place unless you are growing it yourself.

For the most part the most of us take the word of the companies. Kind of like an infant depending on the parent. What we do not know does not hurt us OR does/will it?

Actually, go read the book Fast Food Nation. It is actually pretty gross when you read some of the stories of where restaurants like McDonalds buys their beef.

Me too, actually with all the fast food joints. I mean if you advertised an action figure with a lot of detail etc and end up getting a molded piece of plastic, people would be screaming false advertising, how do the food joints get a pass on this?
