I won't deny that fast food is very unhealthy, but did you really believe McDonald's, the most closely scrutinized franchise in the world, who actually got sued for overheating coffee, ever would do something as stupid and legally actionable as selling 20% beef patties?

That's another problem with the USA, everyone suing each other, and excessive capitalism.

Another problem is people assuming myths are facts and using them to warrant regulations...

What myth?

The ridiculous McDonalds myth you posted as fact.

I'm planning to dine at McDonald's tonight. Can't wait to taste that delicious "Grade F 20% beef" meat LMAO

McDonalds is too expensive for me.

People don't believe me when I say I spend $20 a week on food. Rice and Pasta, plus home made sause and veggies are cheap you know?

Yes, it can be cheaper to make a meal at home, but there's a McDonalds right next to my house and the food's pretty damn good.

McDonalds is pretty good, but $5 for a tiny super fat burger? I'd rather make something myself, the stuff I cook taste muc much better then McD's, and I can cook most things within 15-20 minutes. I don't live near a McD's, but I live near a Tim Hortins (Huge chain in Canada, bigger then everything else), and I think by the time I walk there, wait in line, order, get my food, and walk back home, I could have cooked a better meal for less.

As for McDonalds 20% beef, it's not a myth. Look into 100% Beef and watch "End of Suburbia." Heck, meat grading is based on the quality of the meat, fat/water content, and beef content. Grade F Beef I believe (I could be wrong on this) is any meat with 49% or less Beef.

Also I have a friend who's father is a butcher. When you salt beef it absorbs a lot of water. Most meats in North America are less then 90% meat because of this trick.
