    Yeah. You can eat a McDonalds and still feel hungry after. It's crap tbh.

    Long live Roast Beef meals down a pub.

    That's because, despite being all proper food, they aren't ACTUALLY substantial.

    The ice cream fills me up more tbh.

    TINY?! Where have YOU been? You get loads of ice cream in one of them. Or you do in a Franki-Flurry.

    Will - the nuggets were worse :p. I had them today and I was just like OMG SO HUNGRY at the end of my shift.

    Urgh... Even when I was a meat-eater I couldn't stand McDonalds.

    Gimme some falafel instead, that's the closest to fast food I'll touch.

    I dont think McDonald's get the credit they deserve sometimes. They arent perfect but they do try.

    I think McDonald's in the UK has learnt its lesson and is changing for the better.

    Thats just my personal opinion, however I must admit I worked in public relations for them

    I thought this thread was gonna say Mac's were finally going to improve the taste of the food.

    I like the fries though, but I remember years ago thye brought out the DLT (although was in Canada at the time) and it was soo nice

    Does anyone else remember when they did little chees love heart ball things? they were lush.And, when I was in prague they had cheese and brocoli bites, they were lush too. Nicest thing in McD at the mo is the choc milkshakes, was gutted when they stopped doing the rolo ones.

    It's simple really... If you make fast food then you aren't doing the environment any good. The meat industry is terrible for the environment and even if Maccy D's are giving you british beef, the money is still filtering through to the multinational it is and causing more damage on a global scale... For example the amount of pollution from intensive farming, the amount of crops that need to be used to feed the animals. Without sounding too much like a veggie nazi... You can't eat something like McDonald's and ever claim to be caring about the environment.

    I think a lot of companies at the moment are swaying towards the idea of being ethical as that is where the money is going. In many ways it is a good thing, but personally my beef (lol pun, did ya hear that???) with companies like the burger giants is that although they say "hey we're doing this for x cause" it doesn't make them a clean company. For example, Nestlé have fair trade chocolate now, but it doesn't mean their shit don't stink.

    I believe that companies should be applauded for going greener if they are being true to their word, but should be encouraged to do more. Most of it always is 'greenwash' though...

    We need to get McDonnalds to cross the cow with the kangaroo, the latter dont fart because they have special bacteria in their gut. If we could get cows and sheep not to fart it would be a huge bonus for the enviroment.

    Hehe yeah... But there's still all the poo and waste from them and the animal feed which needs to be grown and transported.

    Not sure how true this is but i read somewhere a while back that the whole 'we use 100% pure beef' thing is a load of crap and that mcDiddums had created their own company called 100% pure beef (which would make their slogan technically true). Anyone know the truth behind this?

    But the poo could be put to good use, the Danish are using pig poo to produce both a good fertiliser for the fields and methane to heat the sheds.

    I don't think that's true. But don't quote me. It just seems very unlikely considering how concerned they are about getting their arses sued. *shrug*

    I have noticed, though, that our burgers are getting distinctly less perfectly-round than they used to be...

    It's not true.

    That explains why pretty well.

    Defnitley isnt true, I went on a visit to a UK farm, and watched how the beef got turned into burgers.

    There are loads of myths about McDonald's, if you look at snopes.com, you will realise the majority are rubbish.

    Hope that helps

    Yeah, but the '100% beef' claim is to say that they don't add bread etc to the burger. However, the cow's lips, tits and arseholes are still 100% beef ....

    Udders, testicles, intestines and the like are served quite openly places like Buenos Aires - in fact they cost more than a steak. Do we only not like them in burgers because we're squeamish about those bits of cows? All tastes the same once it's minced up and covered in special sauce anyway.

    So there are no additives in it?

    I don't see how McDonalds can produce so many beef burgers and chicken burgers without factory farming anyway.
