>>18214080I literally worked at maccies and you're full of shit. Yes, it's English/Scotch/Irish beef, but it's full of additives and other carcinogenic crap. They can claim it's "100% beef" without listing any of the shit inside, because of the laws surrounding ingredient lists. Ever see instant coffee? There's no ingredient list and, if there is, it'll say, "100% coffee". You know damn well there's additives in there, but the law allows you to list an ingredient for what the manufacturer/producer says it is, and not everything it contains.
For example, let's say US McDonald's uses 100% New Zealand or Argentine beef, but there's a shit ton of additives and fillers put into it, before it gets made into patties. If we apply the UK law, then US McDonald's can legally say it's 100% beef, without listing the extra shit, because they only put that shitty beef into the patties.
Let me give an even simpler example; say there's two producers of beef for burger patties in the UK, where one supplies legit 100% beef, and the other supplies beef mixed with sawdust. The sawdust beef patty is still considered "100% beef", despite the sawdust, because the patty is 100% comprised of that sawdust beef.
Do you know why people in this country buy things like on-brand mustard for £1 more then shitty brands? Because they can taste the difference. They can taste that they're eating something cancerous that's in the 40p mustard.
>b-but anything cancerous would be on the ingredient list!!1!1Things like fake vinegar (diluted chemicals that taste like vinegar) are widely used around the country, especially in food processing. They can legally say it's vinegar, because that's what it's marketed as when they use it as an ingredient. Chips are 100% taters; you can make chips with only taters that the /k/ brownie faggot came inside, say, "ah, yes, I /only/ used potatoes", and LEGALLY state that your chips are made with 100% potatoes.
The FDA does not allow such Bong tricks. God bless the USA.
