Call me crazy but I like food made of food and avoid chains as much as possible.
One of the main reasons I stopped eating junk food. The actual real food content / lack of quality food in this junk is frightening.

100% Beef can mean it’s made of ground up arse-holes and tails.

What's McDonald's made of if it's not food?

This is NSC. Unless you hug trees, drink craft beer, cycle everywhere and agree with whatever the left of society tells you to you are fine to smugly criticise anything else ‘normal’ people do as freely as you want 🤣
Not many people have sneered at the food to be fair, and those that have don't strike me a Corbynistas.

I like the odd Macky D and I'm a member of the labour party. And I'm normal. Very normal, indeed ???

So blow that out your arse-pipe :lolol:

:thumbsup:

Like what?

There's nothing wrong with the food, the business model, the amount of staff they employ.

Their only problem is the small proportion of cliental that eat Maccies most days.
And the vast tracts of Amazon rain forest destroyed to supply soy-based feed for the beef cattle that McDonald‘s use in it’s burgers allegedly.

I’ll say one thing, Maccy D’s is better than Wendy’s.

I’ve tried a few of their burgers and each one is revolting.

Tepid, grey meat in a thin, raggedy square shape.

And expensive.

Grim.

Factory sweepings.
Are you sure?
After all McDonald's is one of the biggest purchasers of British and Irish beef.
I'd suggest it would be easier and quicker to do the job properly than rely on factory sweepings, esp as we don't have that many factories anymore.

But with all the choice of relatively cheap and convenient food we have these days, Mcd’s is a bit of a lazy choice.
Exactly….

Oh well do I know that! As an old time Labour voter, I fully realise I'm nowhere near left enough to be part of the NSC elite! :lolol:


Fair point. I think it's also fair to say that some McDs are less frequently infected by utter chavs than others!
You are the elite. A stalwart to inspire all of us. . . .youngesters. :wink:

and?

I work in the food industry making bespoke products - you better not look in your cupboards.

All that tells us is don't eat McDonald's every day and we knew that anyway.
