And people complain about vegan food. At least you know what plants your eating. Unlike fastfood.
Well, clearly, you grind up beef chuck to make burgers, Chuck is a diminutive form of Charlie, ergo the libs at McDonald’s have been supplementing their burgers with the cultivated remains of Charlie Kirk. The fake moo is all a plan to make everyone go woke by tricking them into cannibalism. Where’s my poster board and red string?
This episode of >!Pluribus!< is getting weird.
Damnit, don’t give me a reason to eat McDonald’s man
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered and chopped into meat to be cooked and sold by McDonalds.
He didn’t ever answer me. Probably in account of the fact that cows don’t speak english. It’s just as well anyways. It’s not like it would have changed anything. It’s just cows opinion. It’s a moo point.
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered
Was it a transgender cow?
Misgendered Moolissa
That’s about 8000-9000 cows per day. The US slaughters nearly 100K per day. So… mcd is fine.
I am enjoying the implication of this. Implying that one entire cow is turned into a single burger
The famous McDonalds quartertonner.
Almost choked on coffee from this
When you look inside a cow, there’s actually no burger to be found. There’s definitely something fishy.
That’s where the McFish comes from.
And a whole tree is ground down for one toothpick
It’s funny they think there is a significant amount of beef in a McDonalds burger. It’s mostly bread, chemical cheese and mayo derivatives.
Not to be that guy… but all cheese is chemical. You’re chemicals. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. Even Full Metal Alchemist got that.
I’m just so tired of misinformation, implying that one cheese that’s 100% milk is cheese, but another cheese made with that same cheese plus emulsifiers and preservatives is “THE CHEMICALS.” Call it processed, sure. But to imply you somehow have cheese that’s not chemicals… is just, fundamentally wrong.
In colloquial language, “chemicals” is fine IMO. It’s clear from context that it’s not H2O. Just like substance abuse is only about drugs, not cornography.
It’s not fine. “Chemicals” has been used as a blanket term for so long that your average guy thinks chemicals are an issue, but has no idea what the fuck falls under truly dangerous chemicals.
I mean, pornography (I’m going to assume it was typo) it’s not a substance.
And substance means drugs. It’s one of the definitions. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/substance
So it’s basically a grilled cheese on a bun?
That sounds delicious.
Well, more like packaged bun of corn syrup and preservatives with a partially heated cheez™ product spread
Please. Stop. I can’t get any more erect.
at some point, this person will do the same for chicken. That will be insane
You can get a lot of hamburgers from a cow, but only two breasts from a chicken.
That means for every two chicken breasts you eat, one chicken dies.
Now think about eating the chicken cloaca! Thats a 1 to 1 kill ratio buddy, and let me tell you, I can eat alot of those in a single sitting.
Ham. Ya know, as in ham burgers. Duh!
It’s McPeople!
Cow substitute. The vegans use it. ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Bovine!’
“do you really think that there are that many cows in the world?”
Well, not now, there aren’t.
I believe that near me, there was something that happened where it was partly human meat. I’ve heard that a worker at the meat packing plant for maccas got fed up with working there, so he tied up all his coworkers and fed them into the meat grinder. I’m actually not too sure if it was the nuggets or the patties, but then again, that’s still fucked
Edit: I just searched it up a few times and now I’m not even sure if it’s real lol, maybe it’s a myth
Sounds like an urban myth
They eat to grow, they grow to die
They die to be eaten at the hamburger fry
Cows well doneBut on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers, came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers
It would be insightful if the math checked out.
You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there’s 95M cattle in the US.
Mcdonalds beef patties?
Or regular?
Coz they are thinner than a pickle slice these days
c/theydidthemath
Forgot this exists, no more wondering like op.
That count is way off.
An average cow is 600kg, and yields 36-48% in pure meat, so around 250kg.
McDonald’s standard patty is 45g, while larger patties - say, like, the Quarter Pounder - go up to 120g.
Presuming 2/3 of all burgers per cow are regular, and 1/3 are Quarter Pounder size, then we have a simple formula to solve:
2x*0.045kg + x*0.120kg = 250kg
That makes X approximately 1190, so the total number of burgers is ~3570, over double of your calculations.
Bold of you to assume McD’s patties are pure meat. Probably half the weight is extra fat and pink slime, so you can easily double that.
Maybe in the US, in Australia they are 100% Angus beef
1600 patties per cow is a value I’ve heard since I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn’t McD specifically. Maybe the cows have grown fatter or the patties smaller over the decades.
Anyway, my point was, hundreds of millions of burgers doesn’t deplete the country of cattle heads. It was an remark about orders of magnitude.
I’d say that McD’s patties are super small. Your average patty will be around 6-8oz, so 170-230g, which is much closer to your initial number of 1600 parties per cow.
1600 parties per cow
Oh yeah, those cows are party animals 🙂
Honestly mind boggling that 125 thousand cows are slaughtered each month just to support maccas. Once you add various other places selling beef burgers and other beef cuts and I imagine the number can get a lot bigger
Most fast food burgers are made from depleted milk cows, so there’s actually little overlap with places that sell beef from dedicated meat cows
I have no idea if this is true but it is so genious and calculating that if it is not, i commend you. Wow. You can still call it American (or whatever country you are in) beef and not lie, but it is such shit quality and at such a low price that it has never occured to people. Much like “genuine leather”. Humanity amazes me.
Yeah, if everyone stopped eating at McDonald’s, supermarket beef wouldn’t actually get cheaper, but dog food would. There are a thousand more tricks and shortcuts like that in the animal industry - I’d really recommend watching Dominion, as it shows quite a few more of those
Will make sure to watch it. Sounds like something more people should do. Thanks!
Hate to break it to you but your local supermarket and big grocery chain uses cow beef for ground beef also. Same stuff as McDonald’s. You guys are perpetuating old info (circa 2012) that has to do with XF trim and LFTB.
The other number should be the one that’s mind boggling. We see the number “million” so much and don’t grasp its scale.
In any case it’s despicable.
You misspelled “delicious”. Not McDonald’s specifically, that’s Trump ass sucking garbage.
Yeah, I was about to say: if the Village People is the sound of US fascism, McDonald’s is its flavor.
More its smell than its flavor. Though about half of us are pretty salty about the situation.
cows aren’t killed for burgers.
How so?
They’re killed for their crimes against humanity. We just don’t let them go to waste afterward.
McDonald’s gets the very last stage of leftover beef from the carcass. If they don’t buy it, it goes to things like animal feed.
I don’t know how much McDonald’s-grade beef is on a cow, but I’m guessing the real numbers are how much non-McDonald’s beef people are eating, divided by the average weight of cows
So wrong here. They grind trimmings, the same trimmings that are ground into ground beef that sits in the counters of your local retailer. I sell this shit and can guarantee you the McDonald’s system is not my last option, those trimmings all make it into the food supply. Also you can’t feed cow parts to food animals ,it’s a BSE risk.
Looks like McDonald’s changed their sourcing about 10 years ago. Now they use trimmings as you said; previously they used pink slime.
For the record, I never said (nor implied) that it would be fed to food animals. I was thinking more like dog food
They used up to 7% LFTB back in the day. It looked nothing like the emulsified chicken pictured in the articles. It is a wholesome product yet not one I would choose to put in my ground beef due to the amount of connective tissue. You’re close to the source, have any questions you’d like honest answers for?
