Morons don't give a **** indeed.

So far the people who give a **** haven't proven they're not morons.

Keep spending 15% of your GDP on healthcare, with an atrocious health record. Nothing to do with the poison you eat, and the FDA lobbied into letting it.

Chickens are poisonous?

[Fake Boris]

Not according to morons, it seems.

It speaks volumes about what McDonald's is all about.

Yes, based on what's been posted here it seems that McDonald's is continually trying to improve the quality of the food it serves.

You realize that you are on record saying that chicken meat is poisonous, right?

The floor cleaner additive was concerning.

The fact they don't do it "anymore" is hardly reassuring.

[rah]

Yeah, but they're much more concerned about public awareness these days. Salads and some of the new breakfast options are helping them in this area. The really want their food to be perceived as more healthy than most fast food. Some of that perception becomes reality. I'm not saying that it's all healthy food, but at least they're moving in the right direction.

[Wezil]

Again.

The fact they don't do it "anymore" is hardly reassuring.

The floor cleaner was just recently removed from the process (within last few weeks).

[Al B. Sure!]

Really? This news and that image were from last year... and not like December. May 2011. It was even posted HERE.

At my supermarket, this type of chicken costs $1/lb. So cheap.

[rah]

Better that it was done recently then not done at all. Again steps in the right direction.

McDonald's confirmed that it has eliminated the use of ammonium hydroxide — an ingredient in fertilizers, household cleaners and some roll-your-own explosives — in its hamburger meat.

The company denied that its decision was influenced by a months-long campaign by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to get ammonium-hydroxide-treated meats like chicken and beef out of the U.S. food supply. But it acknowledged this week that it had stopped using the unappetizing pink goo — made from treating otherwise inedible scrap meat with the chemical — several months ago.

Besides being used as a household cleaner and in fertilizers, the compound releases flammable vapors, and with the addition of certain acids, it can be turned into ammonium nitrate, a common component in homemade bombs. It's also widely used in the food industry as an anti-microbial agent in meats and as a leavener in bread and cake products. It's regulated by the U.S. Agriculture Department, which classifies it as "generally recognized as safe."

McDonald's decision was first reported this week by the Daily Mail, a blaring British tabloid, which trumpeted it as a victory for fellow Brit Oliver against the monolithic U.S. food industry.

For how many years did they feed floor cleaner to their customers?

You trust their corporate ethics now that they claim to be on the road to Damascus?

[Lorizael]

Did you know that almonds contain CYANIDE!?!!?
