Everyone loves to hate McDonalds, I've never understood it. They, like a lot of other fast food franchises, sell what people want, is that now a bad thing?
With all the other pollutants we breath or ingest everyday and then complain that McDonalds is evil and trying to sell us something thats not good for us. Where is peoples common sense? Do we need to tell people not to drink crude oil? No, not many people die every year drinking it and we shouldn't need to tell people that if they eat nothing but McDonalds for a year, it might not be good for them, but then again eating nothing but boiled organic cabbage for a year might not be any better for you. This is all nothing more than common sense, something we shouldn't need the government to do for us.
There was recently a bunch of people claiming that leaving a McDonalds hamburger out for a month the burger wouldn't rot. They claimed this was because of all the preservatives in the meat. Well it turns out if you go to the supermarket and buy a pound of lean ground beef and make a patty 1/8th of a pound, the same weight as a McD's hamburger, and make it the same size, guess what? It doesn't rot, just like the evil preservative laden Micky D's hamburger. Infact the hamburger patties are 100% pure USDA inspected beef; no additives, no fillers, no extenders. It is quite possible that McDonalds has some influence over the USAD, but then if you believe that, you must believe that Area 51 is riddled with aliens. This could also just be that people love to hate McDonalds.
The argument that the government needs to step in and save us from making stupid mistakes is insane. Reminds me of the seatbelt or helmet law debates, it's just the government trying to control our lives, anyone stupid enough not to wear their seat belt or wear a helmet on a motorcycle are people that are to stupid to live a long life, let nature take it's course.
