They ONLY thing there I like is the french-fries. That is all I get when I go there.

Be a kid once in a while, the McFlurries are great...

[TaQud]

Reminds me of this video of McDonald's fries experiment

That is the grossest thing I've seen in a while.

well hopefully you don't remember/want to see the Movie "Super Size Me"

Yeah, one of my professors was talking about how shoddy the science in that movie is. :V

But if that thing was 1 year old with no mold and there was 5 million on the table for it Hellz yea.

[Post War America]

That's just gross.

[Disserbia]

That is the grossest thing I've seen in a while.

I don't get. You people tout science as the best thing humans can come up with, but when you encounter food that can't grow mold, you're all suddenly "ew"?

Like what the fuck?

Personally I don't and that's one of the things I hate most about this site, so try again.

science or 14 year old food that can't grow mold?

[Volnotova]

So, is this the new fad? Anti-preservatives?

I don't know if the fad is necessarily new, people have been saying it for a while now.

But really, I wouldn't say I'm "anti-preservatives" entirely, preservatives have their place and use, but when they're scaring off the mold, as the video says, it might be a problem.

How so? I really do not see what it proves here.

[Ifreann]

My question really is, why are we allowing our fast food places to put this sort of thing in their food?

Because it suits their needs and isn't killing people.

It's not that we should be getting rid of fast food, it's that we should be regulating what goes in it. Like any other restaurant.

Where did you get the idea that they aren't regulated?

More a new face to the old "Science bad! Labcoats evil! Chemicals scary!" fad.

Why?

[Dakran]

I would have eaten it 14 years ago. Not sure why I should be afraid of food that doesn't rot.

Indeed. Honey doesn't rot.

If you store them correctly Graham Crackers can last well beyond their Expiration date. Are you afraid of them?

[Ksclve]

no, must be caloric

all hamburgers are

[Freiheit Reich]

The bigger concern is the bread not being moldy.

I worked for them and the packages say 100% beef. Still, I guess they pack them with junk. I didn't eat them much after working there in high school though. Maybe I should stop period. This is a concern.

It is cheaper to buy beef at the store and make hamburgers yourself (a McD hamburger is 1/10 lb. pre-cooked weight) so $2.30 for 1 pound of beef makes 10 hamburgers, use normal sandwich bread ($1.10 for 20 slices) and a plain hamburger should work out to around $0.35-0.40 (counting catsup and mustard and 1 pickle each).

Cheaper AND healthier.

You could bring that price down even more if you buy that sort of stuff on sale in bulk, and then make sure to store it properly.

[Wisconsin9]

On the rare occasions I go to McDonald's, all I get is a large fries and a large soda (usually a Coke). Mostly because I'm a salad and coffee hating vegan, which means those are basically the only things I can get.

regular sliced bread on a hamburger?
spring for a roll man they are like a buck for 8 burgers.

or make your own wheat, yeast, and water are way cheaper.

$5.25 seems overpriced. I am guessing it is due to tourist invasion (the place is historical). Looks good but $2 is fair, $3 max. I can make the same thing for less than $1 at home.

[Cetacea]

my son once came home with a chupachup lolipop (his grandmother bought it). I took it off him so he could eat his dinner and put it in a cup in the cupboard where it was promptly forgotten about. 4 months later we found it again in perfect condition, from that point on I banned chupachups since I agree if bacteria wont eat it than neither should we...

[Pope Joan]

None for you!

Not from McDonald's at any rate. It's not like you can't get salad, or parfait from say... EVERYWHERE ELSE!

Your prejudice prevents you from enjoying healthful affordable food.
McDonald's is good nutritious honest food and beats its competition all hollow for value.
Liberals kick it around because it represents what they hate: popularity, accessibility, affordability, something that is not trendy clique smart like Whole Foods (who can afford it?).
Let people live life and eat wholesome affordable meals. Stop treating this as if it is some sort of crime.

Bacteria also eat cow dung but I don't exactly see you serving that for your kids. :roll:

It should not be eaten. Rather, we should take it to Moscow and embalm it next to Lenin, and see if it's still edible 89 years down the road.
