I go to McDonald's every morning for a cup of coffee. I love their coffee.

I am only a little bit aware of the controversy about "pink slime". What is it, and why should I care?

I have read that a cow produces only a small amount of hamburger meat, so the hamburger of 100 cows is bundled together for shipping purposes. No problem, unless one of those cows has a disease like e-coli. But my understanding is that this practice is an industry standard, not particular to McDonald's.

Here in Raleigh, my favorite by far is Five Guys.
