Yes, I read about that…I haven’t eaten anything from McDonalds for five years since I saw SuperSize Me!

Alyssa

Oh G, please don’t harm us with your voodoo! How did you get a piece of my hair to put on that voodoo doll? Have you been following me? How do you know where I live? All right I’ll comment, just put that doll down!!

When I was a kid I would help my mom clean out her car, and much to her annoyance we would find a stray fry or too that me or my sister had dropped from our happy meals. I would stare in amazement at the fries, and think it looks like a dropped it yesterday, not 2-3 weeks ago. I wonder why I didn’t question that, or why it didn’t click with a lot of people at the time, that McDonalds food doesn’t get moldy, it just stay exactly how you bought it. It’s so unhealthy! If cigarettes get a warning label on them, why not have all the horrible fast food place put a label on their products too.
I wonder what the motivation for them is, to create food that is so unhealthy. They are slowly killing their customers, but I guess it all works out since they’re making a quick buck.

Have you seen the way they make their chicken nuggets? Talk about disgusting!
Here’s a link(hopefully it works):

FYI G, the link you posted has one too many http://, so it didn’t open for me until I deleted the extra one.

Now you don’t have to poke me with a needle lol

G

Yes, I know where all of you live! Muahahahah! You just think about THAT

Thanks, Alyssa. I changed the link and I remember finding random fries my little cousins would have just thrown in our van and they didn’t look like they had been touched since. Freaky. Btw, I shall never eat chicken nuggets again….BLAH!

Oh, Supersize me….*gags*

Maia

hahaha that made me laugh –

and mcdonalds should just be illegal, how can that even be called food? i havent eaten there for maybe 10 years. absolutely no good comes out of eating at mcdonalds, just sayin…

Maia

@alyssa – thanks for sharing that link! because i originally saw that picture when a friend sent it to me from the perez hilton website, but there was no real explanation to how that was chicken.

ew

G

Not even the ice cream, Maia?

Alyssa

@ G, even the ice cream is questionable at least in my opinion, I used to work there, it was my very first job lol. I remember that when the ice cream was low we would have to go in the back freezer and get this bag that was full of a milky substance that looked gross, and pour it into the ice cream machine. The ice cream machine was gross and only had to get cleaned about once a month. Maybe I’m biased in my hate of all things McDonalds because of working there throughout high-school. At least my dislike is somewhat justified since their food is so unhealthy

@ Maia, no problem, when I first saw the picture I thought it was strawberry ice cream or something, boy was I completely wrong!

Caitlin

OH GOD! I know… McD’s is sooo bad. It’s depressing that it’s going to be associated with our era.

mischiff11

Yah I haven’t had McDonalds for almost 2 years now and I’m glad that I’ve kept it that way!! So this should be another lesson to not eat McD’s because it isn’t good for you!

Nakita333

Oh my gosh! My friend told me about that! Ewwwwww . . . that is soooooo gross. I also found out what their chicken nuggets are made of. Let me tell you, it’s not all chicken, I bet it’s not even half!

Maia

@G – that aint ice cream!!

anyone read fast food nation by eric schlosser?

Maia

@alyssa – tell us more about what it was like working there!!

Alyssa

@ Maia, it was horrible lol.
Food wise- Most of the burgers, and chicken etc came frozen and were either fried in a deep fryer, or cooked on a grill top stove, then they put them in these compartments that kept the food warm until they were ordered or needed to make a sandwich. When there was down time, I would sometimes read the nutritional facts about the food, and if I remember correctly chicken nuggets were among the most unhealthy, as well as chicken selects. Their food is loaded with sodium, and trans fats. If anyone does eat there I highly suggest looking at the ingredients and nutritional info for yourself so you know exactly what you are eating, it’s scary. I think the only safe food there is their salads,without meat, and maybe their coffee.

And I hate how they entice children with cartoons, and toys. IMO it’s really like brainwashing them.

I think the combination of bad food, crazy long lines, and mean customers, has made me never want to eat or go into McDonalds. It just brings up bad memories. That’s just my personal experience, I don’t want to knock it for anyone that does work there or would ever think of working there. McDonalds and my calm quiet personality were just not a good pair.

*Gags*

Maia

wow thats absolutely despicable.

why is our country is influenced by mcd’s lobbyists? that stuff shouldnt even be able to exist. what do yall think it would take to put an end to this “food” served in mcdonalds?

@alyssa in fast food nation i read that working there, you get horrible hours and its a prime place for ppl to rob because of so much cash, do you think that’s true?

Alyssa

@ Maia I worked there during high school so my shift was from around 4-9, so not terrible, but usually we had a rush of people come in during my shift. We never had an issues with people robbing us, but the managers had to leave in pairs when they took the daily deposit to the bank, as a safety precaution.
Fast Food Nation sounds interesting, I saw the movie, but I’m sure the book has more info.

Susana/Susy

Ewwwwwwwww!!! That is soooo disgusting! And the sad part is knowing that people will continue to go there no matter what they hear. It’s just despicable honestly, but McD’s don’t care because all they want is money. It’s just oi so frustrating. Thanks for the article btw.
