I bet it saves on toilet duck though.

A true contractor has Toilet Swan.

That's why I always have a cheeseburger as well.

Mine smells of roses

Are those 2 statements linked?

[vetran]

Mine smells of Tulips

Surely?

[mudskipper]

My poo smells of ammonia sometimes, I think it's a side effect of some of the tablets I'm on. It's quite disconcerting.

Calories in 1 Big Mac (214g): 490.8kcal, yet people still feel hungry after eating one. So why bother?

So less than a standard chicken & bacon sandwich from Tesco then : Tesco Chicken & Bacon Sandwich - Groceries - Tesco Groceries

And no - I don't feel hungry after a big mac compared to a sandwich. They're virtually the same thing - that hunger is really a desire for more because you like the taste and the kick the saltiness gave you, etc.

And since when do calories mess up your insides?

And since when do calories matter for 'a treat' anyway?



And the info you posted was predominantly relevant to the US where they eat all sorts of genetically modified and hormone injected tulip that's illegal here.

And so what if they put the fat in the meat? It gives you the calories you want right? it tastes good right? (otherwise why is it a treat?) that burger, even with it's fat still has enormously more nutritional value than the equivalent calories in sweets or cake or icecream.

Plus, even though the chicken nuggets here are real chicken, who cares if you get the ground up reclaimed meat? It's not bad for you - back in the day people used to boil cow heads to get the last bits of meat off! Blimey.


Plus McDonnalds sells a lot more than big macs these days.


I avoid the big macs these days because I sit at a desk all day so I like to make my calories go further. But it won't do kids any harm unless it's all they eat. Funnily enough if your kids ate beef wellington every day they'd probably develop problems too.

In reply to all of the bad press this process has received from Oliver, the company Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager for McDonalds in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in their region. The same, it should be noted, applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers.

So it doesn't apply in UK.

No we can afford McDonalds its hardly expensive but we encourage them to eat at more healthy venues. But like many other things you just need to be a bit naughty sometimes.

But thats in the UK, I think you'll find in Germany, and I presume thats where you were, that things are a little bit different. When they first came to Germany they outsourced the production of everything and had a problem with the rolls...they were too good! There was a recent article in one of the better food magazines about the different fast foods that are available and they actually came out quite well. Now do you eat Doners here because if you do then you should be worried!

Perhaps. There is a burger joint near me. The take meat out the giant fridge, shape it, start cooking it. And herbs and so forth whilst I read about the farmer who supplied them the meat, who's always at the local farmers market anyway. I recall a place like this in Hampshire whilst living in Winchester. 'The pub without a name' it was called. Worth making your way out there.

Feck me yet another thread where Lord Haw Haw demonstrates what an utter, utter cretin he is.

I'll bet you ingest Ammonium hydroxide anyway, you complete moron, it keeps you safe from pathogens

I feel sorry for your kids - forget McDonalds, their biggest problem is the genetic component of the IQ they are forced to inherit from you.

[scooterscot]

Then you're as well informed as the rest of us...

Kitten, when my stomach rebels people in my postcode evacuate. But only when I visit Macdonald's.

I think I've been to Macdonalds three maybe four times in the past 15 years. I'm sure two of those visits were to use the loo.

Then you're as well informed as the rest of us...

[scooterscot]

As far as I can tell McDonnalds is decent quality food. I'm aware of anything that is particularly harmful about it.

Hamburger Chef Jamie Oliver Proves McDonald’s Burgers “Unfit for human consumption”

Hamburger Chef Jamie Oliver Proves McDonald’s Burgers “Unfit for human consumption”

944757_622205944476291_2132848075_n (1)

Hamburger chef Jamie Oliver has won his long-fought battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world – McDonalds. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise finally announced that it will change its recipe, and yet there was barely a peep about this in the mainstream, corporate media.

Oliver repeatedly explained to the public, over several years – in documentaries, television shows and interviews – that the fatty parts of beef are “washed” in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption. According to the chef and hamburger enthusiast, Jamie Oliver, who has undertaken a war against the fast food industry, “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.”

Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. Oliver famously coined this the “the pink slime process.”

“Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?” Oliver asked.

In one of his colorful demonstrations, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made. After selecting the best parts of the chicken, the remains (fat, skin and internal organs) are processed for these fried foods.

In reply to all of the bad press this process has received from Oliver, the company Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager for McDonalds in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in their region. The same, it should be noted, applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers.

In the United States, however, Burger King and Taco Bell had already abandoned the use of ammonia in their products. The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which has allowed McDonald’s to use otherwise “inedible meat.”

Most disturbing of all is the horrifying fact that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the “component in a production procedure” by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food.

On the official website of McDonald’s, the company claims that their meat is cheap because, while serving many people every day, they are able to buy from their suppliers at a lower price, and offer the best quality products. But if “pink slime” was really the “best quality” that McDonalds can muster in the US, then why were they able do better in Latin America and Europe? More to the point, why can they apparently do better now in the United States?

These questions remains unanswered by the franchise which has denied that the decision to change the recipe is related to Jamie Oliver’s campaign. On the site, McDonald’s has admitted that they have abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties.
