Burger King still sells double cheeseburgers for .99 cents, although to be honest I'd rather pay the extra money and get a burger from In-n-Out, one of the few decent fast food burger joints left.

I hate you and your In N Out goodness. I pretty much ate nothing but In N Out when we went to Vegas. jseus it was good.

Nothing even remotely close here on the east coast.

I went through similar reasoning. It sucks that first they take away free love with AIDS, and now you can't even eat meat anymore without risking a deadly disease. Stupid industry turning cattle into cannabals.

Makes you wonder just a little bit about the whole 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'X-Files' movie plots, doesn't it? (Oh, don't forget 'Resident Evil' too.)

I can't wait until Microsoft (tm)(R)(We own you) decides to get into the business of writing genetic code for things. Just imagine what their shoddy design and coding practices might do then...

Yet another reason why we eat organic.

Except that feeding a cow beef is legally *considered* organic. You aren't feeding the cow hormones...
IOW, just because it says "organic" doesn't mean jack.

BTW, all you people worried about mad cow, you do know that the vast majority of actual *meat* - including low grade - is safe from it, right? Mad Cow is not a virus. It is a misformed or mutated protien that is specific to the central nervous system of the animal. It can't be killed by cooking, and it doesn't infect the muscle tissue. So, thanks to US regulations, just about everything that is ground beef is actually (probably) fine. Just stay away from hot dogs and bologna...

What many people don't realize about mad cow disease is that thousands of cows in England had the disease over a 20 year period before they knew what the disease was and over 60 million people ate meat from infected cows for those 20 years and yet only 200 people got sick and about 60 died. Now one cow is infected and the whole country is goes crazy. Sure it is terrible when anyone dies, and vKJD (mad human disease) would be a terrible way to go, but really, don't we have more important things to worry about, like heart disease? I am sure thousands more people will die of other affects of eating too many McDonald's hamburgers and cheeseburgers than mad cow disease. Despite that I am sure I will be heading to McDonald's and ordering at least 4 or 5 for myself. Bada ba ba ba...I'm lovin' it.

Of course that is 200 identified cases of vKJD. I've read a few articles where they've mentioned the possibility that a lot of people have come down with the disease, but their symptoms have been misdiagnosed as other mentally degenerative diseases (especially in the elderly), so a lot more of the population is infected than the official statistics say.

Not that I'm against eating cows. I just prefer to eat happy ones that lived in a field and ate grass all of their lives instead of other cows. It's cow cannibalism is one of those things that you just know future generations will look back on us and wonder what the hell we were thinking.
 
How many people here have mad cow disease from eating at McDonalds?

Raise your hands!


(Looks carefully.)


Yeah, I thought so.
 
wow, i never knew my post questioning the mad cow brought up so many attention. nonetheless, i finally buried my face in a juicy in-n-out double double this past weekend, and it was DELICIOUS! this thread was very educational.
 
I guess that most people prefer to consume in ignorance. If you want to actually understand what it is that you are eating/supporting whenever you go to McDonalds, then I suggest that you pick up a copy of 'Fast Food Nation' at your local library or bookstore.

Enjoy.

Agreed. Fast Food Nation is a truly excellent and worthy read.
 
If I had a dollar for every person that posted/stated/wrote about the CRAP (literally) in the food at X place/blah, I'd be a very wealthy man.

As long as we live in a society that puts money over life, we will eat dirt.

For those that believe that you must have the cleanest this and the purest that, I would ask you to rejoin the human/animal race. You're living in a dream world. The Earth is 70% dirt. You eat/breath/sleep in it every day. You NEED to so that your body can develop immunities to such.

Here's a wake-up call for everyone...did you know that your body fights off cancer three (3) times a day? The reason a person eventually gets cancer is: (A) their immune system is deficient or 'down' at that moment (say, due to stress...happened to me); (B) genetically-speaking, your body is 'ripe' for cancer, and (A) has possibly happened; or (C) it's an unusual strain your body has no immunity to, nor can it develop such.

Gosh. That sounds just like a cold/flu bug to me.

Seriously folks, it's good to be informed, but there's a point of fulity you can reach very quickly. Sometimes knowledge can be a bad thing. I point to the first few pages of Return of the Jedi, where Luke feels much older than he is, by the weight of knowledge; things he has learned, and much that he wish he hadn't. (No, I'm not a Star Wars nut, those words simply stuck in my head).

ANYWAY...I'm off to McD's for some cheeseburgers...want me to pick up a few for you? 😀
 
I just came from my local Mickey Dees and they laughed when I asked about the $.39 cents hamburger deal.

so I'm assuming this isnt an "everywhere" deal. oh well, I had to bite the bullet and ate there anyways cuz I was hungry.

I hear ya man.

my sister's husband is one of these people who washes his hands like 25 times a day, litterally avoids touching anything and everything while in public and refuses to eat anything that isnt in the top 10 list of healthy things to eat. and naturally his family is the same way.

but the funny thing about them is that someone in that family is constantly getting sick from one reason or another.

you'd think that they'd be the typical family with great health seeing since they're so cautious about being so sanitary and eating so healthy but again, someone's always sick in that family.

go figure...
 
Just got done eating my cheeseburgers. $2.57 and I'm stuffed.

Time to start the stopwatch and see how long til I make a run for the bathroom.
