Meals from McDonald's will no longer include "pink slime," an ammonium hydroxide solution used to kill bacteria.
The Oak Brook-based fast food chain said it would no longer use the controversial additive -- which is approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (http://www.foodinsight.org/Resources/Detail.aspx?topic=Questions_and_Answers_about_Ammo nium_Hydroxide_Use_in_Food_Production) -- in its hamburger recipe.
The company denied that its decision was influenced by a months-long campaign by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver (http://www.jamieoliver.com/us/foundation/jamies-food-revolution/home) to get ammonium-hydroxide-treated meats like chicken and beef out of the U.S. food supply. But it acknowledged this week that it had stopped using the unappetizing pink goo -- made from treating otherwise inedible scrap meat with the chemical -- several months ago, msnbc.com reported (http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/31/10282876-mcdonalds-drops-use-of-gooey-ammonia-based-pink-slime-in-hamburger-meat?chromedomain=vitals).
In fact, the company said the decision to get rid of the "slime" was made nearly a year ago.
"We are always reviewing and evolving our standards to ensure we continue to serve safe, high quality food to our customers," McDonald's said in a statement (http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/newsroom/mcdonalds_statements_and_alerts/Discontinued_Use_of_Select_Lean_Beef_Trimmings.htm l).

Taco Bell and Burger King have also done away with the "slime."

they should put that on a commercial. 'now with no pink slime!'

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

jamie oliver's a 'g' and i laugh at anybody eating at mcdonald's in 2012 (no smug)...go get some ground beef and cook your own burgers. much better.

[Olive Oil Goombah]

i rarely mess with mcdonalds and im pretty much done with burger king. Every time i eat BK i feel sick to my stomach after. I dont fuck with that shit anymore. as good as a whopper can be..shits nasty.

[Rob Swanson]

Smash Burger is the only chain where they use quality ingredients, but you'll pay $10+ for a meal

[MASTER PAI MEI]

Burgerjoint also makes good ass no pink slime food.

[JehovAllah]

Robby patiently awaits the white slime

ahahahahahaha

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

then how are they going to kill the bacteria in their disgusting low-grade pharmaceutical-laden factory farm beef?

Ammonia might be the least dangerous ingredient in your McDonald's.

I don't fuck with fast food because it's gross, but about bi-monthly, I'm on my way home drunk as shit and don't feel like human interaction, I'll grab a bacon, beef n cheddar and some curly fries. I'm not proud of it, but whatever.

[Olive Oil Goombah]

its all nasty.

i dont think i'll ever be able to give up wendys and taco bell though.

[Sosa]

more worried about their apple pies that are hot enough to melt through floors like alien

The International Business Times lists some other questionable chemicals showing up in our foods:


Propylene glycol: This chemical is very similar to ethylene glycol, a dangerous anti-freeze. This less-toxic cousin prevents products from becoming too solid. Some ice creams have this ingredient; otherwise you'd be eating ice.


Carmine: Commonly found in red food coloring, this chemical comes from crushed cochineal, small red beetles that burrow into cacti. Husks of the beetle are ground up and forms the basis for red coloring found in foods ranging from cranberry juice to M&Ms.


Shellac: Yes, this chemical used to finish wood products also gives some candies their sheen. It comes from the female Lac beetle.


L-cycsteine: This common dough enhancer comes from hair, feathers, hooves and bristles.


Lanolin (gum base): Next time you chew on gum, remember this. The goopiness of gum comes from lanolin, oils from sheep's wool that is also used for vitamin D3 supplements.


Silicon dioxide: Nothing weird about eating sand, right? This anti-caking agent is found in many foods including shredded cheese and fast food chili.



We are conditioned mentally to disconnect our food from the animal who was mindlessly abused to provide it, but the vibrational fields created by our food choices impact us profoundly whether we pretend to ignore them or not. -Will Tuttle

[JehovAllah]

damn
i feel disgusted


TACOBELL is bomb tho

[Olive Oil Goombah]

no matter what i will still find my way to a taco bell on a drunken night. Thats really the only time i eat it, but still

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

taco bell is the most delicious shit ever crafted by human hands when you're drunk...eating taco bell with no regrets is basically a sobriety test

[Rob Swanson]

Last time i rolled through taco bell's drive through a homeless man was waiting at the intercom

[BLACK BART SIMPSON]

dont fuck with this shit besides like occasional chicken nuggets nd shit ... but idk tacobells 1$ burritos are addictive as fuck nd mad cheap so idt i cud stop ...

[Olive Oil Goombah]

thats what makes taco bell so great....the price is right and you get good shit.

couple of those crunch burritos, cheesy fiesta potatos and an empanada..4 bucks, full meal, hangover lessened

Speakin of taco bell, there beef is not 100% according to a news story that ran sometime last year. A lot of filler, but Mcdicks is gross.

[Olive Oil Goombah]

Five guys is the bomb, but its overpriced, so is fatburger.



Jimmy Johns is good late night too....JJBLT, thats my shit on Coventry in the heights dawg.

^^
Yeah it was clarified that some horse meat is used, imitation stuff, and a few Taco Bell's had small amounts of human body parts, but I think that was mainly down south.

[CEITEDMOFO]

THE BEST THING FROM MCDONALDS IS THE "TANGY" BBQ SAUcE

I saw a couple episodes of that Jamie Oliver guy once. I like how he takes some guys girl to the grocery store, prepares a meal for her + the husband who is at work (and likely bangs her before he gets home, then smiles in his face)

Rofl skamp is torturing all his dogs in the house with that dish

[check two]

robbie,
what brand of paper towels do you use?

[Sosa]

every time i cook rice there ends up being enough to feed a small ethiopian village for a month.

those pics made me hungry as fuck though, gonna cook me some dead animal for lunch.

[diggy]

Robbie, is that fish you have on those sticks?

[Rob Swanson]

Chicken

But sword fish or tuna is a good idea

[diggy]

Didn't we have a recipe thread on here before? If not, I think we should do that.

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

Watch out, Robbie. FMJ is pushing up hard.

Also, you're going to want to be real careful throwing on the grill, especially in kabob form, but if you do it right, it can be dope.

Or if you get a fat chunk of fresh ahi, and throw it on the grill for like 30 seconds, rotating it just to get the sear on the outside and leaving it raw in the middle, that shit is dope son

[Rob Swanson]

we're making homemade sausage this saturday...best part about it is drying a bunch, that shit is delicious when done right.

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

Quit beating around the bush and just ask him if he wants to go with you. The worst he can say is "no", and at least you'll know for sure and you'll be able to move on with your life

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

I'm sorry I blew up your spot, Bro. Send him a PM

[NIGHT MAYOR]

yay - 6:09am

That hip hop restaurant is rumored to be fictitious. It has an address and ratings in Atlanta though. Maybe Lord Glitter can verify it's existence..

[check two]

fmj,
are you referring to that hip hop based restaurant in South Korea where all the guys wear doo rags on their heads? It's supposed to be the equivalent of a Hooters restaurant, for women.
