other guys try to fool you with a burger that's more bun than beef
that's it you feel it pulling you in it's like those golden arches are magnets and
you find yourself being pulled towards a mcdonald's restaurant as if your car
is stuck in a ufo's tractor beam well break the bond with 10 reasons why you should not eat food
at mcdonald's nothing beats two cheese burgers with secret sauce eggs aren't always just eggs
mcdonald's has made a big deal in recent years of touting the fact that they use real eggs at their
restaurants however a closer look reveals that this is only partly true what we can tell you is
that the statement is completely 100 true when it comes to the iconic egg mcmuffin this classic and
og of the mcdonald's breakfast menu items is made with a real egg and nothing else it's you mcmuffin
you know this guy but if you order anything else with eggs that is where it gets a little less
than 100 you see one thing mcdonald's says in some of their documentation is that we always
start with real eggs start being the operative word there eggs that are deemed too small for
the egg mcmuffins are sent to a break room where they are cracked and turned into liquid eggs that
get used for other items such as scrambled eggs egg whites etc however preservatives and other
additives are used in this liquid egg mixture why they only use 100 pure eggs for the egg mcmuffin
and nothing else is a mystery if they can do it for one why can't they do it for everything
hopefully one day they will 100 percent live up to their real eggs claims egg's gone
stupid most of the beef is still frozen i keep this frozen meat in case society collapses but
we still have power one of mcdonald's biggest competitors is wendy's and one of the biggest
distinguishing factors between the two chains hamburgers besides the square versus circle
shape has been the fresh versus frozen factor wendy's is famous for always using fresh never
frozen beef in all their burgers a claim mcdonald's was never able to make however
instead of diving right into the fresh meat pool mcdonald's did no more than just dip their toes in
back a couple years ago mcdonald's announced that they were going to use only fresh meat
not frozen but that they were only going to do so with their quarter pounder hamburgers
unbelievable for some people this may not be a big deal but mcdonald's did say that they
sold a lot more quarter pounders after making the switch to fresh meat so obviously it is something
that matters to enough consumers out there and if that's the case why not do it for more of
your hamburgers especially the most delicious and most important one of all the big mac i'll
have the big mac please all those toys you are a child's play thing on the surface the toys that
come with a happy meal aren't bad the problem with the toys is that the company uses them as a way to
hook in kids at a young age they use that little hamburglar race car as a gateway drug to french
fries and calorie heavy big macs for life that explains so much what about those unhealthy fast
food chains like mcdonald's who draw the kids in with toys in order to get their unhealthy albeit
addictive food into their mouths so that the next time they are hungry they plead with their parents
to take them back to mcdonald's again and again and again the happy meal was introduced in 1979
and it might surprise you to know that in 2004 said meal accounted for about 20 of sales for
the burger chain which actually made mcdonald's the largest toy distributor in the world well
the farm and toy dealerships i've ever visited in my life french fries aren't vegetarian do we sell
french fries we all know that mcdonald's has arguably the best french fries in the fast food
world and as a vegetarian they would probably seem like the best bet to quench your hunger
and enjoy something yummy at the same time well not so fast while it's true that the fries don't
contain any meat products in them they are just potatoes they are actually made with an oil that
is flavored with a meat extract the company made a big deal years ago about ensuring their vegetarian
and vegan customers that their french fries were made in 100 oil and not beef fat don't like me
and while they technically didn't lie they did fail to mention that the fries are treated with
a small amount of beef flavor before finding their way into the fryer a lie of a mission if you will
one can only imagine that this beef flavoring prior to frying is a key to making them the
great french fries that they are however lying to the consumer is not a good look for a company so
either stop adding the beef flavor or just warn the vegans and vegetarians out there would you
forget your french fries they go with the soda i have them already yeah they offer delivery yeah
liberty mcdonald's was one of the first fast food joints to get into the delivery game going all the
way back to 1993 when they introduced the service in a few locations across the united states
these days mcdelivery is available in numerous countries and they have teamed up with ubereats to
support the service in various locations as well whether practicing social distancing or not eating
that big mac while sitting on your couch at home is always better than doing so in a restaurant
and if you have kids doing at home delivery means you can keep them away from those slimes and ball
pits you can start sorting protons and neutrons while i build carbon atoms and if they don't offer
delivery in your area then they most definitely have a drive-through window that you can take
advantage of i said french fries the mcnuggets can't afford the mcnuggets because he's a mcguire
the mcnuggets have been one of the most controversial items on the mcdonald's menu for
decades now with people always questioning just how much of a chicken mcnugget is actual chicken
i don't like mcnuggets i'm a vegetarian well as a result of mcdonald's trying to be more open
about their foods and allay any fears people have they do say that the mcnuggets are made with 100
grade a usda chicken that sure sounds good but as christopher ochner phd pointed out it says made
with and not made of so there's no way of knowing what percentage of the whole nugget is actually
chicken he also did some detective work and it might interest some people to know that white
boneless chicken is almost a pure protein boasting a phenomenal 0.2 protein grams with less than 20
percent fat mcnuggets on the other hand have a very mediocre .046 protein to kill a calorie ratio
this seems to suggest that the other ingredients besides chicken are the primary driver of the
macronutrient profile i will screw my courage to the sticking mcnugget low wages for employees
this is a hard job so i was working at mcdonald's but you don't feel they need to tip them do you
ever wonder how fast food at mcdonald's can be so cheap one of the reasons they can offer quick
service at such low prices is because most of the workers in these fast food restaurants work for
very low pay that also includes no overtime pay or any other benefits of the sort and holidays
are often an afterthought we have to go you just threw milkshake in the restaurant where they make
minimum wage it's a youtube thing you're probably thinking hey at least they get minimum wage well
that was something else mcdonald's tried to put a stop to as movements were growing fast around
the united states to push the minimum wage to the 15 an hour mark one of the staunchest detractors
of this movement was you guessed it a mcdonald's after much backlash the fast food giant actually
took a step back and in 2019 announced they would no longer oppose the raise of the minimum wage
this is certainly a step in the right direction and mcdonald's stated that they will not use
their resources including lobbyists or staff to oppose minimum wage increases here's to hoping
they become more proactive and raise the wages for their current employees i started on cleanup
just like you guys but now see i'm washing lettuce animal cruelty what come on do i look like a steak
to you yeah mcdonald's talks a pretty good game as far as the treatment of animals goes
but they don't appear to have been walking the walk to match the talk they've been talking the
official line from the company is as follows we believe treating animals with care and respect
is an integral part to our commitment to serving mcdonald's customers safe food that is exactly
what we all want to hear from a company that serves us food however in 2018 animal rights
organizations got together and broadcast a vr experience meant to take people into the factory
farms where the chickens are raised according to reports there was some disturbing animal cruelty
taking place whether they knew the negative report was coming or not mcdonald's did announce
right around the same time that they were going to improve and raise the standards of care for their
chickens by 2024. this is a step in the right direction at least and it seems like mcdonald's
is taking these claims seriously and doing something about it you're coming home with me
because while many people have no problem with eating meat many also take issue with cruelty
to animals in order for us to eat them let's hope mcds truly heads in the right direction
eat me that's all i'm good for your weight like swimming and eating and tennis and eating
and writing and eating this is the most obvious and the one we should get out of the way right
off the bat while mcdonald's has tried to introduce healthy options over the years there
is no denying that eating mickey d's on a regular or even semi-regular basis is bad for your health
all right the fat people have spoken and we aren't just talking about the calories let's take their
most popular offering the big mac meal and break it down for you a big mac french fries and a coke
doesn't sound too bad right well this trio is going to fill you up with about 1080 calories
and for many people that doesn't actually fill them up which means more food and more calories
feed me if you dare depending on your body and fitness level you might be able to burn
1 000 calories walking on a treadmill at a good pace for an hour but remember that that hour is
just burning off your big mac meal in order to actually lose weight it means doing more than that
looking beyond calories your big mac meal also provides you with over 40 grams of fat
more than 60 grams of sugar and 1 255 milligrams of sodium which is over 50 percent of the daily
recommended value look if you are treating yourself to a delicious meal from mcdonald's
every now and then it is probably okay but do it with any kind of regularity and your body
won't be very happy with you didn't get rid of all artificial preservatives disgusting as consumers
have become more health conscious and more savvy about what they are putting into their bodies
mcdonald's has had to adjust and make concessions and how they produce their food and what goes in
it we passed health inspection one of the biggest moves the company made towards producing cleaner
food came back in september of 2018 when mcdonald's announced that the seven classic
burgers sold in the united states would now be free of all artificial preservatives flavors
and colors those seven burgers are the hamburger cheeseburger double cheeseburger mcdouble
quarter pounder with cheese double quarter pounder with cheese and big mac that is not a big mac big
mac's big mac mcdonald's has more on the menu than those seven burgers which means as much as
they understand removing artificial preservatives is important it wasn't important enough to remove
it from all their food if you would like to avoid those items the ones that still have artificial
preservatives colors and flavors include egg mcmuffin bacon egg and cheese biscuit bacon egg
and cheese mcgriddles fellaio fish and several of the signature crafted sandwiches tap that screen
