    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!

      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.)

      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 ...?

        I don't think it is biased to read from McDonalds own published ingredients list and nutritional information :rolleyes:

        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.

        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.

                          In 1993 I was in hospital in Lancaster and phoned for a pizza to be delivered. When it got there the nurses wouldn't let me have it.

                          I'd say that's probably the standard respone in a hospital. I was visiting someone recently and the hospital has arm chairs in a wide hall on the way in. On one visit there was a guy on a drip with a pizza in his lap with his friends sitting around him.

                            I did once smuggle a McDonald's into someone in hospital, think it may have been my wife, but they refused to eat it cos they were scared of being told off by the nurses. When I had my appendix out, a couple of days later the nurse said I could go home if I could eat a decent meal. I replied "Ooh, are we going out to eat then". Not a titter.

                                        Hells yeah! I don't know how to tell you this, but I don't think anyone goes to McDonalds expecting anything other then a bag of chemicals. As long as it tastes good...

                                          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!

                                          No worries, all of those options are bad for you.
