If you were ever on the fence about giving up fast food, this may do it for you

McDonald’s confirms that it’s no longer using ‘pink slime’ chemical in hamburgers. :eek2:

It makes you wonder what other crud they are putting in their products that in a few years they will stop using.

This is news?
That McDonalds doesn't use USDA Prime ground beef?
That they treat it to extend it's useful life?

John,

Makes you wonder about the sheer amount of crud that goes into non-fast food products at the grocery store. Sometimes reading the label on a product is like trying to solve a word problem on a math test written in a backwards mash of three or more foreign languages.

I thought the pink slime stuff was the chicken nuggets before being artificially colored and flavored.

Hamburgers are so hard to make at home, too, it's just too advanced for me. How do you cook a hamburger patty? Where do the buns come from? I don't know how to make "special sauce"! What do they think I am, a chef or something?

If you eat McDonald's hamburgers often enough that these trace chemicals will affect you, you're probably already dead from heart disease or diabetes.

The other list they have in the article is just silly. The implication that when an ingredient comes from some creepy place, like a beetle wing or sheep's wool somehow makes it "unfit" for humans just a value judgement. BEEF IS GROUND-UP COW MUSCLE but it's OK if it doesn't have beetle parts in it.
