The Periodic Table Of McDonald's
Ever wondered what is in your "favorite" McDonald's meal? Then today is your lucky day - the following table from BusinessWeek shows all McDonald’s burgers, sandwiches, and salads broken down into their nutritional components, as listed on the McDonald’s website. All sandwiches (except Southern Style Crispy Chicken), McWraps, and salads are designated by McDonald’s as "Premium." For obvious reasons, the calorie count has been omitted.

Beef Patty translates to pink goo, that might at one time have been a cow, but not 100% sure it's not Soy. The beef in it is 100% beef though.
Pink goo. Mmmmmm.
they use 100% beef in the patties,
but the beef makes up only 10% of the pattie.
and they only use the meatiest part of the worm!
Where was escolar and horse meat? Don't think the ingredient's asterisks were displayed here.
BEEF could be any part of the animal. Just use your BRAINS and think about what that means for a sec...
Their products contain only two elements: CR and AP
Escolar.
Seriously I almost shit my pants laughing, reading this:

One earthworm is 92% lean protein. If TSHF worms might be one of the better meals around, and if added to McSoylent would likely be an improvment.

Any meal you can grab on your way from what's left of NY. Life after Bloomberg ...

Soylent pink.
I like how the ingredients almost make it sound like food.
I think the last time I was in/at a McDs was at least 15 years ago. I remember it well. I got a quarter-pounder. I took a couple of bites but couldn't finish it. The thing was like a block of salt to my poor buds. Aaargh.
You lucky bastard. I got a McRib. That "meat" just ain't right.
I'm glad I don't eat my shit, like a hibernatin' baar'
Glad I don't eat that shit.
Last time I ate one was years ago out in the middle of Nowhere, Nevada ... thought I ate Jimmy Hoffa
Ever been to a town called Rachel?
They don't have a McDonalds, just wondering if anyone else has ever passed through.
Passes through faster than birdshot through a snowgoose
No wonder they can't find him.
Steak, egg and cheese bagel, with hashbrown thrown on. Its Michelle's fav and she's got me hooked now too (she usually gets 2).
As the old benediction goes: "Eat shit and die."
have not ate at mcdonalds since i was a little kid. never plan on doing so again.
mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, all these fast food restauraunts are shit.
I like MACDonalds in Cayman.
Refused every buyout offer from the corporate clown.
PS know why it's called a Big Mac?
Because Mac's brothers name was Dick.
I shit you not, Maurice and Richard to be precise.
ps fuck you pink slime (and of course Bernankster too)
Oh come on, reconstituted synthetic liquid margarine?
What could be more inviting?
Which reminds me of the Hegelian Dialectic.
You see here's an overly simplistic example for everybody that's easy to grasp.
After WWII, there was bloody himongoloid excess capacity for margarine manufacturing but everybody wanted butter. Margarine had been popular for the troopies because it didn't spoil as quickly as butter which needed constant refrigeration, etc. In fact, margarine for transportation purposes was originally developed round about 1800.
So, the Don Draper moment was how to get margarine sold, big time.
Goal: Utilize excess manufacturing capacity for margarine.
Thesis: Butter is bad for you
Anti thesis: Margarine is good for you
So, there was a lot of marketing done to promote the evils of butter... cholesterol, fat, etc. Even going so far as to suggest it made you look like a porky ugly person, ladies never fit in them size 2 dresses. Even though women especially had been eating butter without going to pot for centuries. And in spite of a lot of older margarine containing lots of trans fats.... Boo Hoo...
Thus, the push was on for "reasons" of health.
And margarine was sold (Anti thesis) as the "healthy" alternative to the "bad" butter (thesis).
All lies, damned lies and more lies, all to by sleight of hand, keep your attention away form the fact that it was all to utilize excess margarine manufacturing capacity.
Over simplified, but essentially accurate for these purposes of a slow afternoon.
It's disturbing how much power the lobbies have in the US.
Butter is actually really good for you if you like having testosterone and other hormones that regulate your metabolism. Soy products tend throw it off balance, and Margarine is just plain bad for you.
@ NidStyles:
I eat according to metabolic typing, and what you said right here, is 100% true. The problem with American diets, is not necessarily "How much Fat we eat", but the fact that it's low-quality, artificial fat.
Same could be said of most food ingredients......it's all about making money. Who cares if you can't pronounce what you're eating....it's good for you, and science says so.
I always like pointing out the fact that consumers really don't have a lot of choices in food......even though there's probably 30-50K different brands competing for retail space in larger grocery stores.
Just a handful of manufacturers own almost everything else:

My "diet" is very simple - If I cant pronounce it/ read it, I dont eat it. Have felt better since. It took me 6 months to get off the diet soda kick. That shit IS addictive!! Drink Tea and non floridated water now.
Hmm well okay, but let me get this straight:
You can't pronounce: Ascorbyl Palmitate
So you won't eat anything that has that on it or in it.
FYI: It's just the oil soluable form of vit C.
btw: Can you pronounce the chemical name for all of your "B" vitamins.. jus wondering?
you misspelled non-fluoridated water, so, no drinking that for you anymore.
Actually margarine was invented by a French man. Strange how we seemed to have bought into the fallacy synthetic fat was good for you while they just kept consuming butter. I consider it the first case of chemical warfare against this country.
Miffed;-)
Interesting history of margarine:
http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/the-war-on-margarine#axzz2YcA1vNb2
Shows that the gov't had its grimy fingers in private industry as far back at the late 1800s.
Colorant had to be added to the white "stuff" after it was purchased because pre-colored margarine looked too much like real butter and might "fool" people. Always excuses.
Finally, in 1949 and 1950 Congress narrowly voted to repeal the tax on colored margarine and President Truman signed the new Margarine Act into law. By 1955 every state but Minnesota and Wisconsin had repealed its anti-margarine color laws, with Minnesota holding out until 1963 and Wisconsin—“the Dairy State”—not relenting until 1967.
Funny story. During my first dinner with mr miffed's family ( Jersey dairy farm) I was shocked when they put the butter on the table. It was orange! Then I made a horrible city girl faux pas and asked why they colored their butter. Everyone stared at me with indignation. Mr miffed tried to save me by explaining that Jersey butter naturally looks like that and that all store bought butter is colored. Holstein butter is absolutely white and indistinguishable from a hunk of lard. This would bother the public so they color it either chemically or blend it with Jersey milk. Research has shown milk from jersey cows has unique health properties. If one decides to drink milk try to find Jersey milk preferably raw.
Miffed;-)
all the chain reataurants are fast food, even the grocery store is 90% industrial grade oil, salt and pharmaceutical grade corn syrup. food inflation for the debt slaves.

So the chicken stuff has "chicken" in it, and the beef stuff has "beef" in it? Whoda thunk?
What does this have to do with anything?
If you can't figure it out, then you are likely the one riding the short bus.
parts is parts, what kinda' parts? chicken parts!

I don't eat at places where teeth are not required.
Bought some "Slim-Jims" a couple of years ago and made the mistake of reading the ingredients - I don't want to know what "mechanically separated chicken" is...
I grew up on fast food..especially McDonalds...my friends dad owned one....so he was always working there..an we ate a lot of it..but now I am here all the time on Zerohedge..must mean something....
That's some funny shit....I mean burgers
But wait....did these buggers taste "different" to you back then ?
Over one billion scourged.
Oh he owns three now...a multi millionaire....so that flippin burgers crap I hear all the time is a bunch of bull.....this family made good...
....Hey..... that's a mighty BIG bun
..Moar bunn
My dog wouldn't eat McDonalds cheeseburgers. Only McDonalds. Whatever that is, its worse than dog's ass. Listen to your food taster.
I gotta take a massive 10 pound dump just thinkin' bout all this greazy food
Too funny, all the wankers who pretend they don't eat at or are too good to eat at Mcdonald's.
The elitism (aka lying) is fricken hilarious.
I am proud to say that I have not set foot inside a CrapDonald's (nor a Wendy's, Arby's, or any other fast food establishment), nor eaten their ultra-processed and nutrient-stripped "food", since July of 1984.
RIGHT!
Just like all the other smug pricks here who would claim they never shop at /bash Wal-Mart too.
Sorry but the santimonious attiude exuded here with these posts is laughably fetid.
Oh, I forgot to mention --- haven't set foot in a Wal-Mart since 2000.
And fuck you for your assumption that everyone is as happy with gutter products and gutter food as you clearly are.
ANd you don't wear clothes made in China, and you don't use ME oil.........Keep going, it's starting to get funny. This site is full of frauds such as yourself, so at least your with like minded frauds.
What are you doing, cross-referencing the NSA logs? What a presumptive fuck.
Akak,
A one big high five from me to you!! I wish I could state the same. I succumbed to kid pressure during the 90s letting the kids have one day a week for McD breakfast before school. God if I could go back in time and smack the shit out of myself I would. You are not being sanctimonious in the least. Be proud. I'm closing in on 20 years clean. However I did use their bathroom a few years back. Must say just walking in that restaurant almost made me gag. GMO crap food just stinks to me.
Miffed;-)
So we are lying because you can't accept that not everyone is like you?
I haven't set foot in a McD's since 1996. I haven't eaten fast food in almost 10 years.
"I haven't set foot in a McD's since 1996. I haven't eaten fast food in almost 10 years."
Wow, aren't you "SPECIAL"
And aren't you an (obviously unhealthy and conformist) asshole?
Its for the idiots, that like myself, are lazy, then find themselves without Support or plan, having to eat after driving to some bullshit job.
Not everyone gets the luxury of not being retarded.
If i had the money or social capital, i wouldn't be hustling suburbtown, trust you me.
Need an apprentice? I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's.
Bellow, and sorry, but serious, git, huge difference between dollar menu and a "sandwich" or "full meal".
All apologies on the racial front, but seriously, what?
McDonalds is zombie food. If you didn't start out as one, you end up as one pretty quickly...
What? No Aspartame and no GMOs?
I like their fries.
They like to refer to a hamburger as a "beef patty" - I like to think of it as condensed Pink Slime mold.
Keeps me from having Mc Shits.
I'm am prouder of McDonalds .... than I am of our sucky liberal government ! When that stupid black cunt spilled coffee on her vulva .... I was rooting for McDonalds !
The Wendy's spokes-chick is hotter than McDonald's coffee. Just sayin.
the only meat i eat anyways is chicken and turkey, and i couldnt be happier.
they should shut down all fast food restauraunts, maybe america wouldnt be so fucking fat if they did so.
I eat at McDonalds .... and I'm the sharpest tack .... in this worn out sofa .... you do socialism's bidding when you attack .... a good company .... like McDonalds !
Enjoy your self-induced ill health and shortened lifespan.
I would encourage you to take up cigarette smoking, but you probably already do that too. Self-destructive behaviors tend to run in packs, no pun intended.
I don't live inside McDonald's knickers .... but I eat something there about once a week .... and I'm a mother fucker .... alive and kicking .... something good is happening !
I like Costco's Columbian coffee .... the secret is to use precise measurement .... once you've found the strength you like .... use natural Melitta filters .... pour it into a thermos carafe to stop the cooking .... use pure water .... and I make a mean cup of coffee .... but, McDonalds coffee is excellent .... some cheap ass foreign franchises may substitute the McDonalds blend .... which is pricey .... because it is excellent !
Must .... stop .... speaking .... in .... fragments!
yes ..... ..... ... ....... ..... ......... !
Could it be the slime is giving me early onset Tourette's shit fuck ass syndrome ?
Pink slime consumption .... fast food as dietary staple .... writing in sentence fragments ..... violent outbursts of inappropriate cursing .... the picture is becoming clearer !
akak: "...fuck you ..."
RIGHT! Way to prove the inappropriate cursing is unilateral.
No wonder I think people like you are a joke. You can't remember what you just posted a few minutes ago.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
Akak is a goil .... well then .... it's clear .... she hates me for my cocky male arrogance and certitude ?
I hope we are served both Burger King and McDonalds when we are in the FEMA camps. McDonalds' Coca Cola is the best.
Um, they have their entire menu with calorie and fat content available at every MacDonald's. Big secret.

For the full story....
Study - Your fast food hamburger may contain as little as 2 percent actual meat
http://www.naturalnews.com/041116_hamburgers_fast_food_meat_content.html
McDonald's hamburger is very lean .... trust your tongue .... it's a pretty sophisticated probe !
Try eating a McDonalds hamburger without the (sugar laden) bun sometimes.
I took my three year old son to McDonalds for a happy meal once and he loved the toy but refused to eat the hamburger... wise beyond his years!
I thought it was going to list all the chemicals in the food - that would've been a great read.
This looks like an advertisement for monkeys. that can read.
Yay food replacement medium!
thank you for allowing me to feel physiologically sound until the end of a shift.
Dollar menu vs "real" "sandwich" price divergence not withstanding..
Here's the test for food to see if it's edible or not:
Leave it sitting out overnight, untouched. Then eat it. If it turns your stomach to look at it, or even eat it, then it's absolute crap that you should not be eating.
Apply the same test to beer. If you can leave it sitting out, let it get warm and flat and it's still drinkable.. then it's a decent beer.
Have yet to see ANY fast food pass that simple test. KFC can come the closest, but in the end it's just overseasoned chicken that's been deep fried. You're better off just getting an actual real chicken and cooking it. Still want to have something ready to eat on the go? Sit down once a week, and cook up some chili, chicken, whatever... then stick it in the fridge/freezer. A few minutes in the microwave and you're good to go. Desperately need your morning coffee? Get a damned espresso machine and a thermos. Pulling a double shot and assembling it into a great morning coffee takes all of 3~4 minutes and costs basically nothing. Added benefit: you know EXACTLY what you are eating. It's so damned easy and simple. In the days before fast food, you had a lunch bucket, go back to that time and see how much you save, how much healthier you are, and how much better you feel. If that's too much for you, get a tub of crisco, mix in an equal amount of sugar and there you go, probably healthier than the fast food alternative.
Alternate test: The Cat Test.
If I make a pizza from scratch, the cat is always interested and always tries to sneak a few bites. This is true for most everything we cook. Cat always wants a bite. Also holds true for the food we have delivered (we only bother getting good stuff). Fast food? Cat wants no part of it and is more interested in her cat food. Same holds true for homemade bread vs. cheap store bought. If the cat's not interested, you probably shouldn't be eating it yourself.
For a hoot go to U tube and type in McD burger. Many people have posted picture of burgers months, even years, that are indistinguishable from burgers newly purchased. If microbes ( theyre always looking for a food source, i should know!) won't touch that shit you shouldn't either.
Miffed;-)
What a bunch of gaywads here scared of a buger and fries.
When I make a burger here's what I do:
I go to the market and head to the Halal butcher
I pick out a chunk of beef tenderloin and a little bit of lamb (seriously, try it, you'll thank me)
These are then ground right in front of me
This freshly ground meat is then seasoned with a mix of garlic and onion powders (made at home), and a bit of ground salt and a dash of habanero powder (also made at home).
Pressed into patties (unless going canteen style crumbled)
Depending on the weather, it'll either be grilled over locally produced charcoal, or a foreman grill.
Buns are also home-made from scratch.
Toppings: ketchup is homemade and packs a bit of a kick, pickles are homemade, lettuce is a mix of varieties that was picked same day so are the onions.
Hands down beats any restaurant-produced "gourmet" burger that relies on ready-made ingredients. Beats the hell out of fast-food slop.
Total price per "quarter pounder" (plus a bit more) = $1.50.
Say you wanna add fries to that?
Pick the ideal large potatoes, sweet potatoes work great too (about 60 cents per kilo, either or). Slice your nice thick fries and dump them into ice water, let it sit about 30 minutes in the fridge. Fry in a frying pan with just enough peanut oil to cover. Oil cost doesn't really matter because it can be reused for anything later. Salt and season.
There's your burger and fries for ~$1.80 a serving. All natural, all quality, no weird added shit, no tax. If you time it all just right (start the buns before gathering supplies, fry-prep first, then burger meat assembly, then cook at same time), it's all done at the right time, burgers moved aside, buns slightly toasted, and presto, you're done in under an hour. Prepped fries can be frozen, as can buns and patties. Good to go in about half an hour then. Now compare that to McD or BK or anything else... they have "economies of scale" on their side and don't care about freshness.
Here's their average location: http://www.burgerbusiness.com/wp-content/uploads/Janney_McD.jpg
Average sale is $4.75. Of that, the food (including fryer oil) is only $1.42 and another 20 cents for the bag/wrapping/cup/box. If they actually went with decent ingredients, good quality, there would simply be no profit at all, they'd be in the red if you keep all the other numbers the same. So instead, idiots willingly pay 3x the value of what they are getting in return and gobble down mystery meat from who the fuck knows where.
Yea... I'm gonna stick to home cooking. I know what I'm getting and I get what I pay for.
One of the last times I went into a Mcdonalds, a friend picked out the gherkins out of his burger because it was the only thing that resembled real food, and he just couldn't eat it.
The world has become a global village of frickin ADD affected, bad breathed, mannerless, overweight digital lemmings.
