    Let's see what's actually in a McRib[^]. Or not: with Halloween just past, maybe you've had your fill of horror for a while. Do you really want to learn that the bun contains a chemical named azodicarbonamide, a bleaching agent used to make gym mats and shoe soles that is banned as a food additive in Europe and Australia? Or that the "meat" itself is miscellaneous pig offal including tripe, heart and stomach? You probably do not want to know about what goes into the hamburger "meat"[^] served at McDonalds, Burger King and other fast food chains. (Disclaimer: I'm not a vegetarian, I just pretend to be one when I go out to eat.)

      My local carvery does a nice plate of food for £3.95. Beef, Turkey and Gammon, Yorkshire Pudding, Stuffing, Roast Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, Green Beans, Cabbage and Onion Gravy. Delicious, filling and cheap, but I was too busy today.

        Biased article written by someone who's most likely a vegan. I'd rather eat a McRib and die an year early than live a 100 years on tofu and soymilk!

          Fortunately, my work place is very close to several nice sandwich shops. The only people who seem to eat at the nearby McD are the homeless and tourists.

                            That's not where the bias lies, the ingredients are accurate I guess. It's the conclusion that those ingredients are in some way so poisonous that we should avoid them completely.

                                I would have thought that if you bribed them with the pizza they may well have let you have it.

                                    And despite its name, one thing you won't find inside a McRib is bones. The absence of any detectable "rib" is what gives the unnutritious mush its "quirky sense of humor," says Marta Fearon, McDonald's U.S. marketing director.

                                    And the one thing missing from a hotdog is ...?

                                      So azodicarbonamide is not banned in Europe and Australia as a food additive? Ammonium sulfate is not used as a commercial fertilizer?

                                        I would have thought that if you bribed them with the pizza they may well have let you have it.

                                        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                          Why should something be unsafe for humans because it is good for plants?
