Some dudes feed McDonald's to a bunch of food experts, claiming it's an organic alternative to fast - General

[QUOTE=The Calzone;46309643] That said, I think that it isn't out of the question that the food from McDonalds used in this video might be of a higher quality than the food from McDonalds in America. America has some of the laxest food quality standard laws in the world, so everything is just inherently shittier tasting here. [/QUOTE] In the world? No. In western countries, maybe. Most of this is Chicken and Beef, of which needs to imported for a number of european countries, the US grows quite locally, meaning there is less chance for contamination. I've never been to Europe, but I sincerely doubt there is [i]actually[/i] a "quality" difference between the two, lieky a placebo/nocebo effect; often in food related matters.

I work at maccas and the foods actually okay most of the time. Some of it is better than others, for example we sell grilled chicken which is actually proper chicken breast and it's fucking awesome, but the beef patties and the chicken patties are all heavily processed and not as nice. You just gotta get the food fresh, a lot of it sits in the meat trays for a long time after being cooked which makes it taste a lot worse, fresh off the grill honestly it's pretty good. Also you can eat decently healthy at maccas, I don't eat anything with sauce or cheese on it any more and it's like 50% of my diet because I work there so much and I'm losing weight, you just have to eat a normal amount and have the salads with it. The real bad part is honestly the fries and the soft drinks, the burgers themselves aren't too bad for you.

McDonald's food was disguised and served as "organic" food to proponents of organic food, and - you guessed it - they were fooled. Just by telling them the food was organic, they believed it was and thought it tasted "fresh."

Here, foodstuff bought from rural peasants is a few times cheaper than food bought at the town market or supermarket chains like Carreffour/Lidl etc. Honey& Cheese is 2-3 times cheaper throughout the year. During harvest times, vegetables are up to 4 times cheaper aswell, because there's a massive supply and the same demand; and rural folk have yet to get their heads wrapped around sending their produce over large distances, most of them are small-time farmers. Their produce also rots very fast, like in a day or two most of their tomatoes, apples, grapes etc. because they wait until they are super ripe before selling them. City-dwellers buy lambs from rural villagers during Easter & pigs during Chrismass. Also, in late summer, they buy vegetables to marinate and fruits for jam. Most of Central-East European countries have rural populations of around 50%. Most of them own small patches of land, if you were to compare them with farmers from Brazil,Canada, US or Australia.

[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;46302383]I utterly detest Mcdonalds, and I'm not even pretentious or on a level where I see it as beneath me or some other arrogant shit like that. The fries are the only decent thing they do. Everything else is overpriced and at the very best, mediocre. The burgers are a joke. I can appreciate a Burgerking meal because the Burgers are actually really nice while the fries are still pretty good. As far as I'm concerned, Pizza Hut is overpriced shit pretending to be something far better and KFC is the worst fast food restaurant I've ever been to; the food there tastes like garbage and the last time I had to stomach it, it decided to leave my body later[I] out from whence it came in.[/I][/QUOTE] You're paying £4.50ish for a decent sized burger, ships and a drink for that price unless you go to a chicken shop that isn't happening in most places. Also I've been to Gourmet Burger Kitchen and spent less than I normally would at Burger King, it's absolutely over priced. I do concede that Pizza Hut is shameful these days and KFC can be expensive but honestly you tell me where you can get better chicken without risking food poisoning.

This is what BK in Spain sells for 1Euro: [t]https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1620469_709544225791195_4590751187661356363_n.jpg?oh=c8b8133afd75d08b555005d0a8abb0ea&oe=54B5302E[/t] Not bad that you can get fries, coffee or ice cream at 20cents. And a decent grilled meat burger for an euro [editline]23rd October 2014[/editline] Also, fresh pork meat in spain is like 2-2.5 euros per kilo. , wich is like half the price of what you'd find elsewhere in europe. Quite nice actually.

These people are probably too pretentious to even have had McDonald's before

[QUOTE=Schmaaa;46297113]McDonald's isn't even that bad, it's just really unhealthy. BECAUSE IT'S FAST FOOD THAT IS FRIED IN GREASE. seriously, every fast food restaurant with similar food is going to be just as bad for you unless it's some pretentious "healthy organic" place that makes food with sunflower oil or some shit[/QUOTE] McDonalds here is pretty good. Sure it might be unhealthy, but imo its pretty good. Although BK seems better. Bigger burgers, more variety and different taste. This reminds me of when I was little. All I was fed was soup with ingredients grown in the backyard, and it was pretty dull to eat soup almost every day. My dad would ask me "what would you rather be eating?", I'd say something like a steak, and he just said "Well, eat your soup and imagine its a juicy steak :V" Cheeky cunt :v: [editline]23rd October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Rammaster;46314551]These people are probably too pretentious to even have had McDonald's before[/QUOTE] Sounds like they are riding on the "mcdonalds sucks and is plastic" bandwagon [editline]24th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=godfatherk;46314056]This is what BK in Spain sells for 1Euro: [t]https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1620469_709544225791195_4590751187661356363_n.jpg?oh=c8b8133afd75d08b555005d0a8abb0ea&oe=54B5302E[/t] Not bad that you can get fries, coffee or ice cream at 20cents.

I might consider cutting back on one of the burgers to eat one and keep the bill under 10€ though

Of course McDonald's is good. It's too good. That is why people want something to be wrong with it. They want to convince themselves its terrible because they have no self control and cannot stop eating it, or they just have fucked up expectations because it is a "fast food" restaurant.

McDonald's chicken nuggets are the best chicken nuggets I've had, after that is Wendy's. I personally think the most unhealthiest thing in their menu is the soda or the blended drinks, like the fraps. Otherwise everything else is fine if eaten in moderation.

Honestly-- you [i]can[/i] taste a difference in organic, but the buzzword generally loses its meaning ~24 hours after being picked/killed.
