McDonald's uses real beef? Actually, they've changed their ways. No I don't and won't eat there, but they are in cahoots with the Rainforest Alliance (they even serve rain forest approved coffee in some countries...) and after much pressure from the public and campaigning through Greenpeace, McDonald's is now the leading company in the campaign to halt deforestation for the expansion of soya farming in the Amazon.
Regardless of that, haven't you seen "Super Size Me" ??? EEeeww!

McDonalds does not use beef from the Amazon rain forest (or any other rain forest) and they never did.
How could anyone raise cattle in a rain forest?
This story probably came from the same clowns who said McDonalds made its burgers from worms.
McDonalds does not make its burgers from soya.
I used to eat there, but I now avoid all fast food places. The food may be good, but much of it is not good for you.

McDonald's used to buy soy that was grown in rainforests to feed their cattle (to sell for beef) until Greenpeace, an international environmental non-profit organization, alerted them to where they were buying their soy from. Interesting: Greenpeace used satellite imaging and noticed that huge parcels of the forest were going missing, so they investigated!
KFC still continues to feed their chickens off of rainforest soy, so I boycott them.
Go, Greenpeace!

I have always loved McDs, french fries, no one makes them as good as McDonalds does! As far as there meat goes, I worked there when I was a teenager, many many moon's ago!! And back then, the word around the work place was they only used soy, to make their burgers with. I do beleive they still do, to this day, as well. This is why I dont mind my kids eating there! So, just a heads up to ya'!! smile!!!

You shouldn't eat McDonald's because it's the worst food out there. Think of their junk food as poison because that's essentially what it is. Their fries (chips for Aussies and Kiwis) don't rot over time! What does that mean? It means it's very hard for your digestive system to break it down and consume it. This is a way of causing cancer in people if they eat Food that's not good for them and that doesn't set well in their stomachs.
Don't you care about your health? Do you like Atherosclerosis? Hardening of the arteries. Liver disease. Obesity. Love Handles. Belly Fat. Lard? Do you want these things? Don't you realize that Winners don't eat junk food?
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
