Google McDonald's loses legal battle against chef Jamie Oliver

Fact checkers said No he did not win

It's an old case (2011). McDonald's said they stopped the process in 2013, but since a government lackey says it is safe, they probably continue the practice.

I posted this in a chicken mcnugget thread today:

I used to have this excerpt from Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" in my cafe menu. I got a couple one star Trip Advisor reviews from parents who now have the dilemma to permit their kids to eat that crap or say no to their bratty kids who demand chicken nuggets and/or the guilt they felt for feeding their kids crap.

"The ingredients listed in the flyer suggest a lot of thought goes into a nugget, that and a lot of corn. Of the thirty-eight ingredients it takes to make a McNugget, I counted thirteen that can be derived from corn: the corn-fed chicken itself; modified cornstarch (to bind the pulverized chicken meat); mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (emulsifiers, which keep the fats and water from separating); dextrose; lecithin (another emulsifier); chicken broth (to restore some of the flavor that processing leeches out); yellow corn flour and more modified cornstarch (for the batter); cornstarch (a filler); vegetable shortening; partially hydrogenated corn oil; and citric acid as a preservative. A couple of other plants take part in the nugget: There's some wheat in the batter, and on any given day the hydrogenated oil could come from soybeans, canola, or cotton rather than corn, depending on the market price and availability.

According to the handout, McNuggets also contain several completely synthetic ingredients, quasiedible substances that ultimately come not from a corn or soybean field but form a petroleum refinery or chemical plant. These chemicals are what make modern processed food possible, by keeping the organic materials in them from going bad or looking strange after months in the freezer or on the road. Listed first are the "leavening agents": sodium aluminum phosphate, mono-calcium phosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and calcium lactate. These are antioxidants added to keep the various animal and vegetable fats involved in a nugget from turning rancid. Then there are "anti-foaming agents" like dimethylpolysiloxene, added to the cooking oil to keep the starches from binding to air molecules, so as to produce foam during the fry. The problem is evidently grave enough to warrant adding a toxic chemical to the food: According to the Handbook of Food Additives, dimethylpolysiloxene is a suspected carcinogen and an established mutagen, tumorigen, and reproductive effector; it's also flammable.

But perhaps the most alarming ingredient in a Chicken McNugget is tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to "help preserve freshness." According to A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives, TBHQ is a form of butane (i.e. lighter fluid) the FDA allows processors to use sparingly in our food: It can comprise no more than 0.02 percent of the oil in a nugget. Which is probably just as well, considering that ingesting a single gram of TBHQ can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse." Ingesting five grams of TBHQ can kill."

It is ambiguous. McDonalds claimed they stopped using in 2011.

"McDonald's does not use lean beef trimmings treated with ammonia, what some individuals call 'pink slime,' in our burgers, and hasn't since 2011. Any recent reports that we do are false.

Burgers are at the heart of the Golden Arches, and the fact is, McDonald's USA serves only 100% USDA-inspected beef- no preservatives, no fillers, no extenders- period.

Prior to 2011, to assist with supply, McDonald's USA, like many other food retailers, used this safe product but it is no longer part of our supply."

Bro soon as they got rid of that so called shit the burgers stated to taste like shit so i wonder whats up with that

Jamie is a transformer!

I have not had a McDonald's (or BK, Wendy's et al) hamburger since 2005, so I have no idea what they may or may not have done after that.

Look it up you lazy fuck

Your on a fucking computer

I did, its a load of Bs

Respect for this cooking activist.

He has been lucky in life and made a lot of money. He knows where he comes from, is grateful and gives back. And that abundantly.

Coming from the same pieces of shit that refused to pay a little old ladies medical bills for getrting 3rd burns on her crotrch for overheated coffee, and wound up losing a million instead. fuck mcdonalds

i wouldn't believe anything "fact checkers" say.

Based on the EU approving an orange fruit bag as a surgical mesh.

fact checkers say "this didn't happen"

But, Oxford Professor tours the world showing real people the video of exactly that.

The EU health commission approving a plastic bag as a surgical device.

the Dr made a nice picture and included the 10 top google hits as his research.

be careful out there.

And, I never bought Maccas for my kids.

what do i win?

FOUND IT!!!!!


McDonald’s loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who
proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested
because it is highly toxic.

Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world’s
largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how burgers are
made.

According to Oliver, the fat parts of meat are “washed” with
ammoniac hydrogen and then used in the packaging of the meat
“cake” to fill the burger. Before this process, according to
the presenter, already this meat was not suitable for human
consumption.

Oliver, a radical activist chef, who has waged a war against
the food industry, says: We’re talking about meat that would
be sold as dog food and after this process it’s served to
humans. In addition to the quality of meat, ammonium acid is
harmful to health. Oliver says this: “The process of the
pink shit”.

He should be sued for hating fatty meat.
