McDonalds serving HUMAN meat

Miche said:

And this has what to do with the nutrition level of a home-
made burger, exactly?

I never quoted anything from you regarding your claims to
any nutritional value. But if you insist:

You're an idiot if you think that a burger made at home is
any better, nutritionally, than a fast-food burger made with
the same basic ingredients/condiments.

Happy now?

But first you have to go get the ingredients, and that's
not just the meat and the bun. I want the tomato, lettuce,
pickles, sauce.

I tend to keep that stuff around home. We have an upright
freezer which has mince (ground beef) and steak in it all
the time.

I can cook steak, rice and veggies in 15 minutes at home.

Rice in 15 minutes? Really? Pot of water on the stove to
rice ready to eat in 15 minutes. Amazing...

Whole meals in 15 minutes from scratch that include these
things? Wonderful. And believable, too. Steak from the
freezer in 15 minutes. Yum...

Burger from frozen. Thawed, patted out and cooked in 15
minutes. Served on the buns that are always around the
house. Along with the tomatoes and lettuce always around the
house. Big freezer, doncha know...

What unadulterated nonsense. Like a salad at home is
somehow better than one in a restaurant. Or a burger. How
simply silly.

And nobody's saying you shouldn't have one. 🙂

But that's not fast food. When I want a burger now, it
doesn't mean after I've defrosted all the ingredients.

So put the meat in the fridge in the morning, or even the
night before, to thaw.

Which is fine. I'm just disputing that it's "quicker".

That really wasn't the point. I'm not trying to be

I know that.

Hey, I had a pretty good Burger King Whopper from, of all
places, a rest stop on a highway a few weeks ago. Took me
two meals to eat it, but hey, it wasn't half bad, and
their fries beat McDonald's any day.

Yeah, their chips are pretty good. It's about all I can eat
from most "fast food" places.

She said "in a *fast-food* restaurant." The salads I've seen
in most fast-food restaurants are filled with wilted
lettuce, tomatoes that have been refrigerated (and therefore
grainy), and an assortment of other sad-looking vegetables
that are past their prime. I would say that the salads *I*
make at home are, at the very least, a little better than
the ones at fast-food restaurants.

Boil the water in the electric jug. Takes about a minute.

Who was talking about frozen? Take the meat out and put it
in the fridge before work or the night before. Plan ahead.

Again, plan ahead. Who shops every day?

Take the meat and the burger buns out of the freezer in the
morning or the night before. Plan what you want to eat
during the week and buy for it in the weekly or fortnightly
shopping run. I almost always have lettuce in the fridge (I
like lettuce). If DH wants tomatoes (I don't eat them raw)
we buy them in the weekly shopping run.

A bit of a planning saves a lot of time and money in the
end.

No!!! Fast food, like, I suddenly want a burger or
something. Not like a planned thing from the night before or
even that morning. I can't say I ever thought, I know, we'll
have Wendy's for dinner tomorrow night. It just happens.

It is quicker.

The entire point of fast food is that you don't have to
shop, don't need to prepare any ingredients and don't have
to wait more than a couple of minutes for it to be served -
fully prepared and ready to eat.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

The new breed of fast-food salads are pretty darn good.
Wendy's, McDonalds, and now even Jack-in-the-Box. They are
all very fresh.

Fair enough.

For me, getting fast food once I'm home takes about 20
minutes. In that time I could have made steak, rice and
veggies. I never think about getting fast food o nthe way
home from work -- it's simply an alien concept.

That's almost an alien concept to me. Seriously. I'm not
being "snobby" or anything -- it just doesn't occur to me to
eat that way.

McDonalds serving HUMAN meat ?

I heard something about this on the news and wonder how
much truth there is to it. I know I wont be eating at
McDonalds again.

Why was it newsworthy, was it on sale...?? If so, don't buy
any. It's probably old meat from old people. Very tough and
contaminated with pesticides & hormones. tip: eat low on the
food chain. If they're serving babies, go for it!

This might have to do with the McDonalds customer who got
part of an employee's thumb in her salad. He'd cut
himself making the salad.

Recently.

Otherwise, the OP is stupid or a troll.

It was at a Red Robin Gourmet Burger restaurant in
Canton Ohio.

Maybe you are the pretty stupid one, eh?
