It’s not fake, at least not in countries with food safety standards – or standards in general – but I can’t confirm whether it’s always 100% beef in the patties that they claim is.
There’s not enough cows on this entire planet to supply all the different kinds of cuts of meat, and ground beef for all restaurants and businesses making “100%” ground beef entrées. Not to mention, all the grocery stores that sell prepackaged meat that looks nothing like meat straight from the cow. McDonald’s uses fake meat, it is frozen paste imitation “meat” to make people think they are eating “100%” real beef.
This has been debunked a number of times. There is infact enough cows to do this.
It would only take about 1.5 million cows in a year to supply McDonald’s with all the beef they use in a year. Assuming every patty they use is of their largest size they currently offer. Which obviously they don’t.
So worse case your looking at 1.5 million cows, and realistically it’s close to 1-1.25 million since they are also using their smaller patties.
Last year in the USA alone 36 million cows were slaughtered for meat.
So mcdonalds uses about 4 percent of just the usa beef production annually, and because mcdonalds operates off of local supply chains instead of single source.
That means that 1.5m heads is sources across the entire worlds supply. So that’s about half of a percent of the world 300m ish production.
And keep in mind that’s a conservative estimation of cows slaughtered. The real number is likely actually a bit higher, tho not enough to really be worth mentioning.
As it’s going to be local small scale and home operations.
So unless you have a sizeable misunderstanding of the concept of numbers thinking that there isn’t enough beef is objectively retarded.
Now McDonald’s does use the cheapest lowest quality supply they can get their hands on. So calling it meat paste isnt entirely wrong. But it is BEEF meat paste.
Debunked or not, McDonald’s is still disgusting and the amount of people who are coming in with comments backing up McDonald’s instead of agreeing they are gross, really shows how many of you still live in the matrix and haven’t woken up to realize that there is poison in everything. There’s cancer in the food people. When you’re buying your next round of groceries from the store, be sure to look and see how many items you buy that have “Contains a bioengineered food ingredient” on it.
Needless to say, I’m done with the McDonald’s talk because it doesn’t affect my life or my body because I make all my meals at home with carefully selected ingredients and everything organic.
People here care about whether claims are accurate. We do our best to care regardless of how the narrative does or doesn’t fit into our worldview (though that is not always easy)
I’m generally inclined to agree McDonald’s is gross, but I think misinformation and conspiracy theories are frankly much grosser
Organic food is also bioengineered… Anything that uses selective breeding falls under the category of bioengineered.
Literally every vegetable and fruit we have has been bioengineered, and basically only don’t get the federally required label because of a loop hole since the bioengineered label and genetic engineering labels have weird quirks on the legal side.
But there’s no such thing as a non engineered plant grown in the usa, all available seeds are from engineered plants. Unless you can time travel a few hundred years into the past and obtain seeds from before modern techniques started getting used you can’t obtain “clean” seeds.
Even just grafting a plant is enough to mutate its DNA and thus making it classed as gmo. And if not for legal exemptions all fruit and veggies would carry the gmo label.
It’s only thanks to lobbying that stopped them from doing so. So unless you want to use legal definition instead of actual common sense definitions. Everything’s bioengineered or genetically engineered.
While all of that is true and most of what they’re saying is nonsense, it is worth acknowledging that bioengineering in the stricter sense of the word they’re alluding to has been used to engineer resistance to pesticide that does have carcinogenic effects, so there are meaningful detriments to something being bioengineered beyond what is likely from selective breeding or grafting.
Issues around how to define the term and the way industry lobbying shapes everything ever are valid, but concern around how chemical giants are using the newer processes for modifying the genetics of seeds are also understandable.
In both the cases: the definitional issues, and and also the ways that giant companies are using bioengineering to create proprietary crops with chemical resistance to harmful pesticides they also sell, the underlying issue is capitalism and how money warps anything potentially good. Newer bioengineering processes could greatly improve food supply, and legislation could ensure consumers can make informed choices about what technologies shape the foods they choose to eat. In both cases something that could do good was was warped to serve the financial interests of large corporations
You all make me laugh with your comments still defending McDonald’s meat. Do you really care about McDonald’s so much that you’ll fight some one on the internet tooth and nail over the realness of fast food meat? Did I hurt someone’s feelings by saying McDonald’s meat is fake? You all act like I insulted your family. 😂
Nope, it’s because you spread false information. Doesn’t matter who or what it’s about, liars are liars and their shit rhetoric deserves to be called out. You don’t have to worry about me calling you on your bullshit anymore. I also block dumbasses.

We’re not in here backing up the quality of McDonald’s, we’re pointing out what you’re saying if factually incorrect.
It sounds like you don’t know what cancer is either.
Engineered ingredients used to preserve food for shelf life so that more people have access to food doesn’t make it poisonous.

I’ll fight anyone over patently false information. I don’t like liars, and silence in complacency.
Lol, so upset for no reason other than I shit on McDonald’s. Get over it.

There’s plenty of legit ways to shit on McDonalds without making stuff up.
