McDonald's doesn't have to put eyeballs in its food for it to be scary. Their food already, to me anyway, seems to be the equivelant of eating plastic. I am all for ppl being able to choose to eat there. I generally keep a safe distance btw me and those toxic dumps. lol (I honestly am not ANTI mc donald's, I just choose to put real food in my body)

For my part, I'm a fan of potted meat, knowing full well what goes into that irresistable pink goo. Glandelicious!

Oooh, and those Vienna sausages! Wonderful!

The real sh will hit the fan one day when it's revealed that some of the preservatives and additives have mildly addictive substances in them... this is why you "come back for more" even though you know it's putrid, not sure how many processed foods use this method but McDonalds is surely a culprit.

Big Tabacco is far from the only set of companies that snuck one in on us this century.

I have never heard of cow eyeballs.

But, I did hear that McDonalds uses some random worm, that tastes like beef, and thats why their burgers taste a little sweet.

Although, I think that worm meat theory has been disproved, thats the only one I've heard.

Fast food hamburgers?
Yuk, I have seen and smelled canned dog food that is better. No, I wouldn't eat it.

As to "worm" - come on now, you are getting carried away there and not thinking. There would have to be a whole industry raising thiese things.
Ever buy worms for fishing? Expensive aren't they?

As to Hore Meat mentioned earlier - I doubt that. Horsemeat would be very expensive. There are not that many horses to fill the bill, and besides in Europe it is considered a delicacy, and yes expen$ive.

Well I'm back and as promised I have a belly full of mystery meat and perhaps an eyeball or two.

I should have gone to In-N-Out instead....

no they are not they come in as plain frozen patties i know because i have been a manager for over 5 years at a BK

This is not a myth. And for all the blogs out there explaining the reason why Mcdonald's would buy cow eyeballs for the reason of saving money on actual beef is ludacris. The reason why they add cow eyeballs to their beef is to help texture the patty, keeping it together better. Mcdonald's leads the industry of fast food chains having the most percentage of cow eyeballs in their meat. Most fast food chains do it, Burger King, Wendy's, etc.
I have nothing against Mcdonalds, I love Mcdonald's burgers. Every time I get a little extra chunk in the meat when I take a bite, at least I know what it is that I am chewing on.
This comes from someone that packages and delivers the meat to the stores. Believe what you want otherwise.
Go eat yourself a big ol' juicy Ball Park frank. Now, your guess is as good as mine when the juice comes out of one of them when you take a bite.
