Too much alcohol is also bad for you.

Should we stop making it?

WTF does that have to do with anything? Amazing, you really had to dig deep to come out with that defense.

I rarely drink.

People complain about getting rid of things that are bad for you.

I thought I'd mention alcohol. I knew I'd get a response.

This thread amazes me like almost all threads related to our health. I don't care what any of you want to friggen eat or how many of you want to go to McDonalds irregardless of what I think of them. I am for informing the consumer. GMO's should be labeled. Organic food should be labeled. If you are using fillers it should be labeled. What is it about large percentage of you that want to deny the consumer this very basic right considering they are ingesting it? Is there any other part of the consumer world where you would believe misleading the consumer or denying them the right to know exactly what they are purchasing is valid? This is really a no brainer to me.

You're absolutely correct.

If the idiots who don't vaccinate their kids stop eating at McDonalds, that would make McDonalds safer for the rest of us.

Isn't "pink slime" really just beef the same as any other but it's just smaller amounts that have been separated from the fat and other shit?
Someone named it 'pink slime' and started a whole big thing.

Yes, some yahoo gets on TV, shows a picture of finely textured CHICKEN, calls it pink slime in your ground beef, pours a bottle of toxic household ammonia cleaner over a hamburger and scares all the dumbshits of the world.

Schools are back to buying ground beef that contains LFTB, USDA says its not an issue, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a left leaning outfit even says it became an issue because people thought it was gross.

THIS is real information, sadly most people refuse to learn it. more fun to scream pink slime and fear the zombie apocalypse.

Also many beef packers don't even use ammonium hydroxide, but instead use citric acid as the anti-microbial spray. Same as what's in your multi-vitamins. but that doesn't make quite as dramatic an after school special on ABC.

I'm pretty sure McDonald's announced that they stopped using this stuff over a year ago. But by all means, continue with your outrage.
