Hopefully he also doesn't eat cheese, baked goods or chocolate because ammonia is used to make those too. It's also naturally in a lot of foods including veggies and milk. |
McD's and other fast food places sucked before, sucked now, and will suck after this. It's just how it is. If you want good food, cook it yourself. Even then, you're taking your chances with all the additives and other bollocks that goes into our food.

Ammonium hydroxide is produced naturally and is present in meat despite any production process at all. It's in just about everything you eat, to some degree.

McDonald's is my kind of place!

Cheese contains the highest concentrations. If you've eaten any cheese lately from anywhere, you've ingested plenty of it. Cheese has 4-5 times the concentration of beef. |

It's because they PUT it in the meat.
Personally, I don't give a shit. I like McDonalds, in moderation. |
No pink slime kids, now get that clown suit on so we can go door to door threatening people to give you some candy.

Jamie oliver is an idiot w/ an agenda
and the peeps who believe his drama queen household ammonia illustration are idiots too |
Quote:
Overdramatic at times. But he has done a lot to teach kids to cook their own stuff, teach all people to have awareness of what you eat, and to push schools to implement healthier options based on cheaply obtainable fresher food. It is idiotic to think this is an agenda not worth standing behind. I won't comment on the McDonald's issue specifically because I don't know enough about it, except that I'm sure the food is disgusting in multiple ways |
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)

Is this the same Jamie Oliver that is so scared of his own shadow that he doesn't let his kids use the phone or social media because they might get bullied?

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 am consistently amazed that Midwesterners with conservative "don't screw with me and I won't screw with you" values would be so willingly ****ed over by a bunch of rich ass mother****ers in New York.
For **** sake, farmers in the heartland, ranchers in Texas, and hunters everywhere should know what real food looks and tastes like. Why on earth vilify a guy whose sole message is "your kids should be protected from assholes who want to sell them poison." And the BEST part is these guys who, in the same breath, defend McDonald's for turning a massive profit, yet dismiss Jamie Oliver for also doing so. It leads me to one, inexorable conclusion... You're ****ing morons who deserve to eat yourselves to death. |

I think most of the aversion to "pink slime" is because there was a photo circulating on the internet that made it look gross. Well, it just looks like ground beef that's more finely ground.
What did people think McNuggets were made from? Like there is a pile of chicken breasts in the dumpster with little mcnugget-shaped holes in them? You're eating fast food. It's crap. If you don't want crap then don't eat fast food. If you don't eat fast food then who cares about this. Anyway, ammonia is all over your house. It's used to treat wood, it's in the cleaning chemicals you buy or in the chemicals that are cleaned other places you go. It's all over the environment. It's Nitrogen and Hydrogen. |

We'd do a hell of a lot better reducing this country's fat ass if they outlawed soft drinks, if we just want to be nazis about it. |

Because everything is McDonald's. And most consumers have no idea what they are putting into their bodies, and are often tricked into eating unhealthy stuff they thought was healthy. So i don't have a problem with watchdogs raising awareness of this kind of stuff, especially since McDonald's made a conscious decision to introduce unnatural ingredients into ordinary food in order to save cost. In general, that whole idea of valuing cost effective mass production over natural food is the main reason we have this obesity problem to begin with. |

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.

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

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. |

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. |
lean finely textured beef is made from the remnant scraps of cattle carcasses that were once deemed too fatty to go into human food. The scraps are heated and centrifuged to reclaim bits of muscle and then the product is treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli before being mixed into ground beef. Currently, USDA allows these beef products to contain up to 15 percent lean finely textured beef without labeling requirements, but last year the department said it would allow voluntary labeling.
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. |

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.

can he get rid of saliva laden lisps?

This is not used when butchering beef such as beef cuts, but when processing beef sometimes. Typically when beef scraps and parts of the animal that would not be fit for human consumption are included as filler. It's ammonium hydroxide - not naturally occurring ammonia. The only reason it's being used is to prevent things like trace amounts of fecal matter or other nasty parts of the cow that they use. They won't comment on it and I don't think they still do, but at one point cow bone was part of the filler used in the processed beef for McD's patties. A trusty bone grinder, eventually worked into a consistency of a fine powderlike existence. No label or notice issues as its technically 100% "beef". |

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. |
