Weight-Loss 12 Years Old Mc Zombie Burger

Weight-Loss
I find this attempt at propaganda bogus. What happens to a cooked burger from ground chuck from the butcher and kept after 12 years?
 
^Well, I can't speak to what the meat would look like (ground chuck) but I sure as heck can tell you that the bun would be moldy in a week and would eventually crumble into nothing over time.

I mean bread that I keep in the fridge, in a sealed bag, for a week past it's due date goes moldy and gross.... I can't imagine what they're putting in those buns.... and god only knows what's in the (so-called) beef!
 
That's complete and utter BS! I used to work for McD for a long time, and believe me, that stuff gets old and moldy too. Especially the buns, that's why we had to be extra careful with storage and how long they were kept.

Besides, if that was for real, the meat would look different as well. It's a nice attempt, but totally fake.

And McD isn't more or less healthy than any other fast food chain. It's fast food for b*llocks sake, what do you expect? :rant:
 
Wow. Hmm....

I can't speak of this person or how they may or may not have preserved this, nor do I think that any fast food chain is better than another. I just found it to be an interesting article. I always think of an experiment in the special features of "Super Size Me" where Morgan Spurlock put a fries from different places in separate jars. Each got terribly nasty... except the McD's. []

Who knows. Everything in moderation, right?
 
I don't know if it's true or not - but i find it amusing that the author's two websites are two fairly spammish/MLM plans... neither one is a plan for long term weight loss success but instead a plan for long term money making...

That and the oh so typical internet comments are a riot -you're an idiot.. No you are.. you're a jew.. what's religion got to do with anything? :D
 
Ive found McDonalds fries in my car after not driving for 2 years, they looked hard and gross (was cleaning out under the seats) but if you had to guess the age, you'd probably say a few days at most.

Regardless, I don't really care when I see this stuff.

I eat it, It passes through me. I've not heard of anyone contracting cancer or dropping dead from eating McDonalds.

Lots of foods now have preservatives in them. It can't be the best thing for us, but what do you expect with fast food?

Scare tactics rarely work. Usually its immediately effective then within a week or so its forgotten.

EDIT: -- When I say "I eat it..." I did not mean the fries I found under my seat, i mean fast food in general.

I don't believe that's a 12 year-old burger.

Having said that, I think McDonald's is revolting and I won't eat there. I do eat fast food on occasion, but never from there; the food tastes like chemicals.
 
Just a tiny little tidbit for the many people who say things like 'I won't eat at McD, but go to Burger King' or 'I don't eat at Burger King, but rather to go KFC'....there are exactly two suppliers for all major fast food chains (including McD, Burger King, Whimpy's, KFC and all the other big ones), and both suppliers work with the same standards. Which means that it doesn't really matter if you eat at McD or Burger King, what you eat is exactly the same. Burger King might grill their stuff, but essentially it's the same. So, if you think McD is unhealthy, or Burger King is disgusting, or KFC's is icky....stop eating fast food altogether. It's all the same, just spiced and prepared differently.

Fascinating what you learn by working behind the scenes...and slightly worrying...*lol*

That may be the case in the UK but in the US some fast food chains use different suppliers depending on their location, and even if they use the same supplier the raw ingredients may come from somewhere else and be processed in a different factory.

I am not a big fan of fast food because it's so unhealthy and, I find, not very filling. However, McDonald's does something to their food that I don't like, and it's a common thread through every sandwich or side. That chemical-y taste is present in everything I've ever tried from there. I call it Essence of McDonald's. It's not present in food from any other fast food chain that I've tried.

Nowadays on the rare occasion that I have fast food, I usually go to Sonic (you don't have those in the UK, you poor poor dear) because it tastes good to me and because it's right up the road. Luckily there aren't that many fast food outlets within a stone's throw of me, and the one McDonald's within a square mile of my house is extremely difficult to get to from my direction. I've never even been there. Even the Wendy's isn't really convenient and if I do go there, it's usually late at night when traffic is light. I don't like what they do to their fries but their spicy chicken sandwich is lovely. You can tell it actually used to be chicken. They will also put a thick slice or two of tomato on there, unlike McDonald's, whose tomato slices are so thin they float.

Basically, fuck McDonald's. I HATE that place. It's revolting.
 
I used to work at McDonalds, and that was what caused me to stop eating it. Our McDonalds was awarded for being one of the top 50 cleanest or some bullsh*t and I would see people that prepare the food in the back - NO GLOVES, NO HAIR NETS, TAKING OUT THE TRASH THEN NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS, (and this is what caused me to stop eating it) I once saw a fellow employee drop a bun on the ground, pick it up, and stick it on someones burger.
Yeahhhhh...So, moral is, when you have teenagers making minimum wage, they dont care how they prepare your food, and it's discusting. hahaha
Sorry that had nothing to do with the 12 yo. burger, but it's what turns me away from fast food unless sometimes subway at least I can see that. hahah

Sonic's Jr. Cheese Burger has 135 gram weight, 380 calories, 21 grams of fat, 30 grams of carbs, 18 grams of protein

McDonald's Cheese Burger 115 grams weight, 300 calories, 12 grams of fat, 33 grams of carbs, and 15 grams of protein.


And if you'll go ahead and look at many of Sonic's other items posted on their website, you'll see that you're probably no better off at either place nutritionally.

Seriously people, bash McDonald's all you like, but unless you're making it at home, you really have no idea where your food has been, whether you've worked there or not.
 
mmmm I love Mc. Donalds. I rarely ever eat it bc I try my best to eat as healthy as possible, but it's good. I don't care what people say. I think all fast food tastes delicious. Especially the fries. I wish I could taste the weird "chemicals" that everyone talks about bc then I wouldn't be tempted to eat it!

The smell of mcdonald's french fries is manufactured in a factory on the new jersey turnpike..

Now I am jersey born and bred and will defend her til the death but the jersey turnpike is a cesspool of toxic waste -nothing lives for miles around... You really don't want to be eating anything that comes from there :)

I hate to bust your bubble, but I actually worked in several different McDs, one of them in Germany, one of them in the States. It's the same everywhere. The burgers are made differently, some with thick tomatoes, some with thin, some grilled, some fried, but in the end, what you eat is all the same. If you took the buns of McD, Burger King, Wendy's and Sonic, and made a chemical analysis, the results would be exactly the same. So if you say that McD's burgers taste 'chemical' to you, and the others don't, then it's only because the others put more spices on it (or thicker slices of tomato) to make it taste more natural.

I'm not defending any fast food chain, despite working at McD's, all I'm saying is that there is none of them better than the others.

As for the hygiene thing, as Mali pointed out, that can happen everywhere, fast food restaurant or not. Plus, when I worked as a branch manager at a McD in Germany, it was absolutely drilled into us that hygiene was important. Everybody had to wear hair nets, even the guys, and if you touched any food or machinery without gloves, you were out on your backside faster than you could say 'Chicken McNugget'. I personally fired three people for not complying with hygiene standards.

Now, it's a few years since I worked there, so things have either deteriorated a lot since then, or it is something that is different depending on where you are. Maybe standards in the US are different. I noticed that here in the UK they seem to be, and I have walked out of a McDonalds because the place was simply a mess. That said, the other week hubby sent me to KFC (I can't eat anything they make, they are using a spice that makes me nauseous to the highest degree), and I ended up leaving without food because I had watched the dude packing the stuff into the boxes stand there and scratch at his pimples, then touch the food. :puke:

All of that said....I know how bad things can be, and I still like my fast food. I don't do Burger King cause the grilled stuff doesn't agree with my stomach, and I don't do KFC because of the spice, but everything else is fine with me. I know it's bad, and I know it's all chemicals and that stuff....but has anybody ever developed any weird disease from having the occasional burger? Grew an extra set of testicles after having a BigMac? Developed a third boob because of a Whopper? Nope. The only thing I developed from eating fast food is a fat behind, and that is my fault, not theirs. They didn't force me to eat their stuff, did they? I don't see anything wrong with fast food (no matter which particular chain it comes from), as long as it is in moderation....like everything else.

And you know what? I'd kill for a McChicken sandwich right now.....:eek:
 
^ I agree

Just today I was at BK and saw the delivery truck pull up. The side of the truck was from the local bakery. I mean come on.

That "experiment" is bullcrap and it still bothers me, if you hadn't noticed :)
