Hamburger chef Jamie Oliver has just won a battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise announced it will change its recipe. According to Oliver, the fatty parts of beef are “washed” in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption. According to the chef and presenter, Jamie Oliver, who has undertaken a war against the fast food industry: “Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold in the cheapest way for dogs, and after this process, is being given to human beings.” Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. Oliver calls it “the pink slime process.” “Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?” asked the chef, who wages a war against the fast food industry. In one of his initiatives, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made. After selecting the best parts of the chicken, the remains (fat, skin and internal organs) are processed for these fried foods. The company, Arcos Dorados, the franchise manager in Latin America, said such a procedure is not practiced in the region. The same applies to the product in Ireland and the UK, where they use meat from local suppliers. In the United States, Burger King and Taco Bell had already abandoned the use of ammonia in their products. The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an anti-microbial agent in meats, which has allowed McDonald’s to use otherwise “inedible meat.” Even more disturbing is that because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the “component in a production procedure” by the USDA, consumers may not know when the chemical is in their food. On the official website of McDonald’s, the company claims that their meat is cheap because, while serving many people every day, they are able to buy from their suppliers at a lower price, and offer the best quality products. In addition, the franchise denied that the decision to change the recipe is related to Jamie Oliver’s campaign. On the site, McDonald’s has admitted that they have abandoned the beef filler from its burger patties. ************************************* AND REMEMBER SHARING IS CARING To SAVE this , be sure to click this photo and SHARE so it will store on your personal page.

I haven't eaten McDonald's since I seriously took Tonychat's advice to turn vegetarian.
 
I've always suspected the patties in MacDonald's burger to be something other than real meat (used to describe it as sawdust held together with fat). Anyways, it will still sell as their marketing is well heeled. At home, my wife makes our own burgers which my kid prefers to Mac's.

Cheers!
 
Maybe tonyshit has a point. But for me, i rather have fish and more veggies, than go for a totally vegan diet.
 
This kind of thread should not be here in the first place if we all eat only soursop :mad:
 
Have you noticed the MAC burgers in Sillypore keep shrinking it's size and yet the price keep increasing?
The same goes for MOS burgers, KFC and even Burger King.

The same goes for those hawker food. The hawkers are up to no good these days. Fishball noodles give you more starchy carbo-laden yellow noodles to make it seem like a generous portion, but fewer fishballs.

Don't even go to the foodcourts. Garbage food quality at exorbitant price. But everyone will say "u can choose not to eat what". Then if that's the case, might as well don't go out.
 
MacDonald has discovered the fountain of youth for burgers:)
When the old man ups the lorry the PAP can ask them for help to preserve Spore's icon:D

This McDonald's burger looks the same as the day it was cooked... 14 years ago




IF you need another reason to kick the junk food habit this should do it. David Whipple is the proud owner of a 14-year-old McDonald's hamburger. And it looks exactly the same as the day he bought it.

Mr Whipple had been hoping to demonstrate the high levels of preservatives in fast food. But he could not have imagined his experiment to go quite so well.

He bought the hamburger from a McDonald's outlet way back in 1999, originally planning to keep it for a month to show friends the worrying power of preservatives.

But he forgot about it, finding it two years later in an old coat pocket. He then decided to continue the experiment, but admits even he was amazed that, 14 years on, the hamburger remains unchanged.

It has no signs of mould, fungus or even a strange odour. The only thing that has changed over the years is that the pickle has disintegrated.



Mr Whipple, from Utah, explained that he never meant the experiment to last this long.

"It wasn't on purpose," he told TV show The Doctors.

"I was showing some people how enzymes work and I thought a hamburger would be a good idea. And I used it for a month and then I forgot about it. It ended up in a paper sack with the receipt in my coat pocket tossed in the back of my truck and it sat there for, I don't know, two or three months."

The coat was then hung up in a closet at his home.

"My wife didn't discover it until at least a year or two after that," he said. "And we pulled it out and said 'oh my gosh. I can't believe it looks the same way'."

Mr Whipple, who still has the original receipt for the burger, said he now shows it to his grandchildren to encourage them to eat healthily. "It's great for my grand-kids to see. To see what happens with fast food," he said.



In 2009, nutritionist Joann Bruso decide to keep a McDonald's Happy Meal uncovered on a shelf for a year. Apart from a few cracks in the bun, it remained unchanged. "Food is supposed to decompose, go bad and smell foul eventually," she wrote on her blog.

"The fact that it has not decomposed shows you how unhealthy it is for children."

Long ago, MAC and some other fast food restaurants will dispose their burger after their expiry time is up.
These days, I think they no longer do so. They still sell it away, some simply heat it up again in the microwave oven while other don't even bother and serve it cold.
