An outdated controversy about McDonald's use of beef treated with ammonium hydroxide resurfaced on social media.

    David Emery

    Published 22 January 2018      







Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver proved that the meat in McDonald's hamburgers is "unfit for human consumption" due to the use of beef trimmings treated with bacteria-killing ammonium hydroxide.


    Healthy food supporter Jamie Oliver took on the biggest fast food joint in the world, and he won.

    He managed to get the multi national corporation to admit that their burger meat was sub-standard and have vowed to change it.

    Oliver highlighted how McDonald’s used ammonium hydroxide to ‘wash’ their beef before it was made into hamburgers, in order to make it fit for human consumption, without this stage the food would not have been legal to sell by nationwide standards. Meat that has not been treated in this way is usually used for dog and cat food.

    The ammonium hydroxide is used as an anti-microbial agent which basically acts as a catalyst to turn ‘inedible’ meat into burgers.

    Oliver said:

    “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.”

You wonder what you're eating at those places and
the food isn't cheap either.

Hi Captain - get all that junk food into ya - mate.   

I did a 4-week diet of no junk food or alcohol. In the last week, my stomach started getting it regular growls again and I restarted enjoying food. I had a few nights drinking moderately. Then I had Red Rooster the following night. I felt worse for the experience. Now, I have to reacquaint myself with good health. But, I can remember that I have never felt good after eating at McDonalds. McDonalds is an emergency feed. Not a meal.

So Booby eats at McDonalds!

YUCK!

You bleeding idiot!

Only a few times because it makes me ill.

Yes i have been sick a few times from Chinese takeaway shops, when those stomach cramps start coming on its a worry. I get mildly ill from Maccas every time but at least its consistent.

Johnnie wrote on Apr 30^th, 2022 at 3:02pm:


I actually agree. I have only had one or two bad meals out of the hundreds I have had at McDonalds since I started eating there as a teen. Chinese takeaway stores have given me a dozen bad food experiences in the 50 times I have eaten there.

Johnnie wrote on Apr 30^th, 2022 at 3:44pm:



There was talk back in 70s and 80s of stray cats and dogs ending up
as meat for the Chinese takeaway shops.
I don't know if it was true or not?

Johnnie wrote on Apr 30^th, 2022 at 6:39pm:



The Chinese survived great famines back in China so
they knew what to do when there was a food shortage.

Johnnie wrote on Apr 30^th, 2022 at 6:54pm:


Supermarket food is full of MSG.

dont feel strange about any product which has msg in it- its harmless!!

Jovial Monk wrote on Apr 30^th, 2022 at 9:36pm:

Monk its fine- have been listening to everyone run it down for years but I  have heard about it being fine and I now believe it- it has never hurt me in any way-all good- Maccas you either love it or hate it- i dont like it!!

Good that you don’t like Maccas, Agnes. Do take a bit of care with the MSG—a little in some Chinese dishes is fine, don’t overdo it tho.

Big Macs are healthier now than they were 20-something years ago due to the health regulations of today. If you want a Big Mac back in the 1990s, they would have one already prepared waiting in the warmer. These days, you have to wait the 2 minutes for the burger to be freshly prepared.

As for size of the Big Macs, they have always looked the same size to me. Are you talking about pre-1990s Big Macs from McDonalds?

No.

Nothing is.

Except human brain burgers.

*Brought to you by the Zombie Party of Australia

I had a double Big Mac with cheese a few weeks ago.

It was actually pretty good.


Though I ate it driving which I am sure is a crime in Australia.

It is certainly a crime if a Pakistani driver calls you in.

Because that is what the backstabbing bastards do.

They look around and try to find ways to be ever outraged so they can show their love for Allah.

What other chemicals has Maccas got?

Johnnie wrote on May 1^st, 2022 at 8:02pm:



I heard a story once about Hungry Jacks -

the mayonnaise was so old that it had black fungus growing on top of it
so the boss just removed the worst bits with a spoon
and served the rest of the can up for the burgers.

Johnnie wrote on May 1^st, 2022 at 8:09pm:



Yes -
actually that Hungry Jacks was in Oakleigh out in East Melbourne and it got
closed down for a while after that as dozens of customers became seriously ill
from food poisoning after eating their poisonous food.

But I bet they went back when the problem was fixed lol

Of course - people are loyal to fast food.

Pizzas are good, i have never been sick on a super supreme pizza. The Dominos pizzas look a bit suss though, not sure what the meat is on them.

mmm pizza, they are good reheated for breaky as well.

Johnnie wrote on May 2^nd, 2022 at 8:53am:



Just 2 pieces of that would equal all the calories
you should eat for an entire day.

greggerypeccary wrote on May 2^nd, 2022 at 9:45am:

With extra cheese on top and any ingredients lying around like olives and in to the mini oven, mmmm

Bobby. wrote on May 2^nd, 2022 at 8:37am:


2500 calories are the recommended weight maintenance calorie intake per day. Domino's pizza is 1386 calories per pizza. But that is for the highest calorie pizza on the Domino's menu. You are getting half your recommended daily calorie intake from one pizza.

Methinks Bobby might have gotten kilojoules mixed up with calories.

we can see that trump is a very strong drug for the weak man , but you are at risk of overdosing on the big fella.


"None of you — not a single one of you — can look away," Donald Trump wrote in 2015, as he campaigned for the Republican nomination.

He was talking about just how absorbed we were becoming in the drama of an orange-tinted reality TV celebrity running for President.

"Donald Trump stories were a source of commonality in a world where there wasn't much," said Licciardello, a co-host of Planet America.

"It's not how wild and unpredictable he was, although that certainly was [part of it].

"I think he is the last remaining thing we all have in common. And I think people will miss that."

most people cannot look away from a car crash when driving past one either. That doesn't mean a crash is good for you. All it does it cause congestion, damages property and gets people killed

a lot like trump actually

I usually start feeling ill before i finish the burger but i am normally ok after a couple of hours.

Johnnie wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 6:41pm:



I sometimes feel like vomiting after one hamburger from Maccas.
I haven't yet though.
I get guts ache for 1 day after their burgers.

Should I see a doctor?

Bobby. wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 6:48pm:


Have you thought of not eating burgers from McDonald's?

greggerypeccary wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 6:54pm:



Yes - I haven't had one for about 4 months.
I normally only eat Maccas about 3 or 4 times per year.

Bobby. wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 6:58pm:


Two times a year would be my absolute maximum.

Late last year, after a long night sitting with my father who looked like he was going to pass away, I went to a McDonald's at about 6 am on a Saturday morning and purchased, and stupidly ate, a Big Brekkie Burger.

I felt sick all day Saturday and didn't come right until about lunchtime Sunday.

Their food is absolutely disgusting.

No wonder Trump acts the way he does.

greggerypeccary wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 7:17pm:



Wow - so it's not just me -
Maccas makes other people feel sick as well.

greggerypeccary wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 7:25pm:



I think we both need to see a doctor.
How come it doesn't make other people sick?

My hang over meal was usually Red Rooster half chicken and chips, peas and gravy. Washed down with a Coca Cola. I had those just about every week that I was basically on a first name basis with the northside stores. After going sober for a month, I decided to see if I could handle another one of those meals. Normally, after eating the meal after being hungover, I just go to bed and sleep it off until the next morning -- not feeling the slightest bit ill during the night. But, sober me found it hard going to get through a whole meal.

With Maccas, it is an emergency feed if I cannot get home in time to cook or prepare a meal in a minute. I can eat a Big Mac, fries, and have a drink no problem just about every time. But, being sober, I cannot seem to be motivated to go to one of the nearby McDonalds stores around town. It seems that McDonalds is reliant on drunken people to keep their business profitable. It might not seem like much being that I live in the town with the most pubs per capita. However, you will find that McDonalds probably set up a restaurant very near a bottle shop or pub.

Bobby. wrote on May 4^th, 2022 at 7:36pm:


Hubby and I --> same deal. So we made the decision to stop buying Maccas. It just wasn't worth it. Feeling sick straight after eating it was a red flag 🚩

Symptoms ranged from feeling bloated to feeling nauseous to the food going straight through you.

The authors of a new study suggest you may begin to lose neurons and neuron function early in life if you eat poorly, and such changes may be difficult, if not impossible, to counteract once the damage is done.


Story at a glance:

    People today are consuming about 650 kilocalories more daily than they were in the 1970s, an amount equivalent to a fast-food meal consisting of a burger, fries and soft drink.
    Poor diet and lack of activity may lead to “normal” but elevated blood glucose levels, even in people without Type 2 diabetes, contributing to neurodegenerative processes.
    “High normal” blood sugar levels may progress to impaired fasting glucose and, eventually, Type 2 diabetes; impaired glucose metabolism is then associated with neurodegeneration that impairs cognitive function.
    The authors of the featured study suggested that you may begin to lose neurons and neuron function early in life if you eat poorly, and such changes may be difficult, if not impossible, to counteract once the damage is done; the sooner you start focusing your diet on whole, unprocessed foods, the better.

Eating fast food — the epitome of highly processed “fake” foods — can have lasting ramifications on your brain health, so much so that researchers at Australian National University suggested you can cause “irreversible” damage by the time you reach middle age, just by eating a fast-food diet and not staying active.

It's proven now -

fast food is not fit for human consumption.

Terrible,
Trump is giving everyone brain damage and causing obesity.

Big food in conjunction with big pharma in conjunction with big health

Have no interest in your health

The fatter you are
The more diseases you have
The more coin they make

What I object to is government agencies going along with this crap
And
For instance
The American food and drug administration recommending processed breakfast cereals over eggs

And Cheerios over fresh meat

It is incredibly profitable to sell people processed carbohydrates
And processed soy protein

It is catastrophic for their health
But making things like the cow the subject of a smear campaign
Saying that it causes global warming for god sake
Organising no meat Mondays and Fridays at public schools in democratic states in America
To virtue signal about saving the planet
Whilst filling kids up on process carbohydrates
Is close to an act of genocide

I had a Red Rooster "Triple Rippa Roll" combo meal last night. It turned out that I felt the roll was more nutritious than other rolls and burgers. I realise that it had plenty of fat and salt in the roll. Perhaps it was because I was starving and had to get a quick meal before I crashed. But, it was the large chips and Coca Cola I had after the roll that probably did me no favours.

The Big Mac meal I had the other week was just something I wanted to have after not eating one of those in over a year. Sure, I have been to Red Rooster getting those half combo meals and sides added each week for over a year -- and I am sick of the chicken. But, going back to McDonalds for the first time in a long time, I was not impressed by the quality or taste of the meal. The only upside to that night was that I received a half price meal because I waited 10 minutes to be served.

When you eat poor nutrition like McDonalds, all you do is make yourself hungry again sooner, even though you are still digesting a meal from hours ago. If you prepare healthy meals with low salt, low sugar and low fat, your body might crave salt, sugar and fat. But, over time, your body adjusts its metabolism so that you need to eat less and expend energy efficiently. McDonalds meals promote the opposite effect.

it wont be bobby.

governments like people to be sloppy individuals. it makes them easier to control.
big food likes people to be sloppy individuals, they consume more of the product.
big pharma loves people to be sloppy individuals, they chew more drugs .
big tech loves people to be sloppy individuals, they watch more tiktok and porn.

imagine if everyone followed aquas advice and bounced out of bed, determined to take personal responsibility and to mix in nature and shun the chode pleasures.

that would be catastrophic for the big corporations and their bottom line.

just realise that they want you as a battery in their mattrix.

the people at the top think the average chode is a total joke.
they think its hilarious they can get 8 bucks for a big mac which is dumbed down garbage
they think its hilarious they can get 2 bucks for some fizzy sugar water.
chodes are a joke to them
the joke, however , is on the chode
