Pink slime or no, McDonald's is bad for you. And collectively, our shit ass food is leading us to an obesity epidemic. People have the right to eat disgusting food if they want to. They also have a right to know exactly what they're eating.

I think it's a little excessive to simply say McDonalds is bad for you. There are plenty of healthy options and food that isn't processed to hell and back. The problem arises when people make McDonalds a frequent part of their routine diet, or gorge themselves on 8000 calories worth of McD's at one sitting. People with that behavior are what's leading us to an obesity epidemic. McD's is just their convenient cheap poison of choice. If we banned McD's, they'd simply take their obesity problem across the street to BK or Wendy's.

So just lie to people because you know what is best for them moreso than they do. Excellent plan.

McDonald's agenda is to make a lot of money by selling as much low cost food as it can. That's a pretty damned good agenda for our society.

Oliver's agenda is to needlessly scare people into eating only what he wants them to eat, while getting his name in the papers.


**** him.

I had to do a double take. That's surely one of the first time I've ever heard someone truly believe that eating more McDonald's is better for society than eating healthy.

Why would I be kidding? Low cost food is a good thing.

Jamies Agenda is to sell more cookbooks and get more tv time so he can make a ton of money.

McDonalds agenda is to sell a lot of fast cheap ass burgers so they make a lot of money.

Society has zero to do with either of them.

I realize you're kind of a ****ing moron, but the public food supply and how people abuse it are a societal problem.

I watched the video and that pink slime looked delicious.

Some of you idiots have nothing but pink slime sloshing around in your skulls.

Scientific understanding in this country is shockingly, dangerously low.

Say goodbye to that 4.80 Big Mac Value Meal (Not super sized)

[CHENZ A!]

Time to go get a blitz box before they run out of that tasty pink slime.

Goddammit! I forgot about the Big Mac Sack on Monday!
