Robert Poste's Child Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I know people in the country who take home anything they run over and cook it for their families because they don't want the animal to have died in vain. Ethics are tougher in the country apparently.

Jeremy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Fox - as has been mentioned more than once - you are talking about the US recipe. The UK recipe is very different. Also, the people who pay a premium for organic, locally sourced yada yada generally don't eat in McDonald's. You've missed the mark...

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 According to the McDonalds UK website, ingredients for fries are as follows:Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Rapeseed), Dextrose (only added at beginning of the potato season). Prepared in the restaurants using a non-hydrogenated vegetable oil. Salt is added after cooking.http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/product_nutrition.sides.44.mcdonalds-fries.html Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/53765-mcdonalds-french-fries-whats-in-them/page/4/#findComment-818727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One friend became such an enthusiast she would sit in her car idling the engine waiting for something to step out. The bloodlust became clear when her family refused to eat it and she carried on.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I can see there are plausible rational arguments, but why are the people involved always weirdos?

Loz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think if you're picking up dead animals from the side of the road and eating them, you've probably been taking long trips on the weirdo bus for quite a while now.

You've missed the mark...Not to mention the fact, that, to my knowledge, none of the people on here are abject morons.Fox, do you really think any of us thinks that McDonalds food is good for us? I like good food, but sometimes I eat a Snickers, and I know it's shit, but I am more than ok with that. Beer's bad for you. Smoking's bad for you. Too much cheese is bad for you. But we drink, smoke, eat fondue and go see the personal trainer. I am entirely at peace with the cognitive dissonance.Oh. And it's not even the bloody UK recipe anyway.
