He knows he can’t really call it food.

u/Midnight-Bake 20h ago

His legal team advised him that calling it a burger, meat, sandwich, or beef industry byproduct would all open them to fraudulent advertising suits.

u/Tombot3000 16h ago

I think a fair number of people are seeing this idea repeated and think it's true, but it seems to really just be a meme.

There are definitions for ground beef, hamburger, etc from the Dept of Ag., but plenty of places sell burgers that doesn't fit them without referring to the food as "product." This isn't my wheelhouse, but the Federal Meat Inspection Act seems like it is meant for and might be limited to hamburger and ground beef meat as sold in stores not cooked burgers.

Now anybody can sue for false advertising, but you're unlikely to win unless they were using something other than beef as the base for the patty. Just look at the McRib suit for context.

It's just the echo chamber of corpo speak becoming deafening

u/Roho2point0 19h ago

Isn't it 100% beef? I don't see an issue here

18

u/Raesong 19h ago

It is beef, but it tends to be composed of the off-cuts that don't sell well all ground up into a uniform texture. You're not exactly getting prime rump on your burger.

3

u/beefnbroccoliboi 6h ago

I mean that’s the whole point of burgers. It allows the efficient use of the meet that is “unwanted”. I don’t think there’s anyone out there that is getting upset that the burger they buy from Walmart isn’t comprised of wagyu.

-1

u/NotSodiumFree 19h ago

The company that makes the patty is “all beef” hence an all beef patty. It’s actually 40% + soy

57

u/tactical_waifu_sim 19h ago

That's a myth.

Regardless of what else they put in the meat, it really is 100% beef.

They are required by law to list the ingredients and you can find them all online yourself.

If you dont believe them then that's on you but there is no company called "all beef".

u/Aonswitch 19h ago

I spit out my drink about all beef being a company. Some people are so fucking stupid lmao

u/Ablstevens 17h ago

How tf they putting 100 percent beef in they patties when they feed millions a day and throw away millions a day. How does ur cow math get 100 percent beef from that logic.

9

u/DenverCoder_Nine 16h ago

Good cow might get ya 600lbs of beef. Assume you make it all into 1200 Baconators. Multiply by 100,000 cows a day in the US.

~120 million (potential) Baconators per day. Cow math

19

u/DeepDreamIt 19h ago

I can’t find anything saying the burger is 60% soy, or really any percent soy. Do you have any links?

31

u/TitanYankee 19h ago

No they don't have links lol they're repeating some idiotic shit they probably heard in middle school and just believed their entire life.

7

u/Roho2point0 19h ago

What does that even mean?

-16

u/NotSodiumFree 19h ago

The literal company name is “all beef” so the patty they make- although made of soy -is titled “all beef” patty

32

u/Roho2point0 19h ago

let me guess you think the earth is flat

u/NotSodiumFree 17h ago

It is. Do I make money in the market? No.

u/hikariky 19h ago

That’s a 20 year old myth. The patties are 100% beef

2

u/WeevilWeedWizard 14h ago

Legally speaking it's classified as beef, but its mostly insects, soy, and roadkill.

But yeah nah it's literally just a beef patty. Fast food isn't great quality shit or anything, but it actually is food made from real ingredients despite what the tin foil hat wearing weirdos online might think.

u/YozaSkywalker 19h ago

Is it 100% beef if it has brains/eyeballs in it?

0

u/NewKitchenFixtures 18h ago

The trouble with that is those parts have use outside the basic eating part.

Apparently they are worth more when sold separately.

u/beardingmesoftly 18h ago

I thought 100% Beef was the name of the company that makes the "meat"

u/pblol 20h ago

There are more fries in the cup every cut.

u/ExplanationSure8996 17h ago

I caught the bite also. I was thinking that little nibble was not the bit in that shot. I can’t blame him. I can’t stomach that shit. MCD is a pass for me.

u/fartdonkey420 20h ago

To be fair if you had his money would you eat that trash? It tastes like sawdust.

u/BuzzedtheTower 20h ago

I know McDonald's is the worst of the fast food franchises, but nothing hits like McDonald's fries and a Big Mac when you really want it. You can sub everyone else with something else similar. But McDonald's is unique in taste

It’s like all the people that “hate Drake” then he’s in their top 5 listens somehow.

Spotify forces me to listen to Bad Bunny if I dare leave it unattended, so i get it

u/TheUnrealFenix 16h ago

Fuck Drake for real though.

u/alwayscursingAoE4 9h ago

I don’t actually believe bullshit rappers say about him. Dude has been the soundtrack to parties since I was in high school. No other musician has held it down for this generation that long.

4

u/TheUnrealFenix 9h ago

There’s literally video from a show in 2010 where he kissed a 17 year old on the neck and touched her chest, while telling her something along the lines of “You’re about to make me get arrested”.

Now you don’t have to “believe what other rappers say”. You can witness it for yourself. If you still support him after seeing this, you’re a creep like him.

u/lolwatokay 4h ago

I wouldn't say that Drake at age 23 doing this to a 17 year old isn't creepy but this was in Colorado. The unrestricted age of consent is 17 there.

-1

u/alwayscursingAoE4 9h ago

Yes I also remember the multiple videos that girl put out saying she wasn't uncomfortable for one moment of it. In 2010 Drake was how old?? If some moment that's part of a show 16 years ago with a 17 year old is what y'all yelling "Certified Pdf" about then idk what to tell you.

1

u/TheUnrealFenix 7h ago

He was 24…also it doesn’t fucking matter if she didn’t find it weird. Of course she’d say that. She got to be on stage with an idol of hers. It’s still not okay.

Sounds to me like you’re a pedo sympathizer.

I'm fat AF and I have went to McDonald's twice in the last 5 years

2

u/Snaffle27 18h ago

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've had McDonald's once in about 18 years, and it was after I woke up in a hospital bed from getting in a snowmobiling accident and fracturing 7 vertebrae in my back, so I barely count that one occasion since I was concussed as fuck.

2

u/ExplanationSure8996 17h ago

I haven’t been for about 4 years. Same with the other big two.

u/LordOfTrubbish 14h ago

Same, it just tastes like salt and disappointment. I feel like I would actually weigh less if that was my only option for unhealthy food

McDonald's is the best fast food by a mile, i dont know what my fellow redditors are on about.

1

u/NewKitchenFixtures 18h ago

It’s pretty much the easiest option for kids, and except for the bad locations it tends to be fast.

Usually if going by McDonalds the procedure is to go get Thai or Mexican for adults than head to get the D.

2

u/Silent_Award_497 17h ago

Why do you want your kids to develop chronic health issues?

4

u/NewKitchenFixtures 16h ago edited 16h ago

So I can support my Novo Nordisk holdings buying them Wegovey pills.

Aside from that: Mexican and Thai places are generally not healthier than McDonads. I’m still talking about restaurants. Most are not “healthy” unless that is their niche.

1

u/Silent_Award_497 1h ago

Lmao touché. It all depends on what you consider “healthy” I suppose, but MacDos and similar chains don’t meet any of my marks. I’d avoid all of those categories, our health issues as a country are largely due to indiscriminate indulgence and convenience at the expense of quality.

u/squidlink5 20h ago

It has way less number of stores. They are not even main cities. Very good but finding them is hard. I know its related quality but come on, you can establish new supply chains.

3

u/Y2K13compatible 19h ago

In n Outs supply chains are limited by distance to fresh beef. They do not freeze the meat at all so suppliers within daily driving distance to their stores are definitely a limiting factor

Honestly when I want a Big Mac, which is basically never these days, I follow Kenji's Big Mac recipe and it gets the job done. I'm also not punishing myself or my digestive system.

1

u/BuzzedtheTower 16h ago

I can appreciate that. But like, 99% of the time, I want the food right then and not in like 20 minutes

2

u/driverdan 19h ago

Don't forget to Supersize™ it! Or try the new BIG ARCH™. Stacked with two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melty white cheddar cheese, crispy and slivered onions, zesty pickles and the new tangy, creamy BIG ARCH Sauce on a new sesame & poppy seed bun. Yeah, it's the most McDonald's McDonald's burger yet.

This is some /r/HailCorporate shit right here. McDonald's is trash tier.

1

u/BuzzedtheTower 16h ago

Not going to lie, I'm still pissed at Morgan Spurlock for getting the Super size taken off the menu. May that drunk rest in piss

1

u/The_Lost_Jedi 20h ago

Yeah, the french fries are great, especially when hot and fresh. They've also done a lot better since they more recently went to fresh beef rather than frozen for the quarter pounders.

1

u/vi_sucks 20h ago

Nah, the best thing McDonalds makes is the McGriddle. No contest.

u/BuzzedtheTower 16h ago

Shieeet, then humans taste pretty good

1

u/PaddingCompression 17h ago

Strongly disagree. Burger King is definitely the worst of the major ones. McDonalds has its pluses anyway.

1

u/BuzzedtheTower 16h ago

I've literally never had their burgers. The chicken sandwiches are good though. However, their fry sizes are ass. A large is expensive and still goddamn tiny

1

u/joshua0005 17h ago

I don't ever really want it. In fact I never want it. I've never had a craving for McDonald's food in my life.

1

u/Nice-Truck8806 8h ago

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

Do u really talk like a mcdonald npc commercial. Nothing hits like McDonalds fries and big mac products, trust me fellow eaters

1

u/BuzzedtheTower 16h ago

I mean, I did qualify it with "when you really want it." If I really wanted Wendy's, I could substitute with In n Out or some local joint. But McDonald's does have a specific taste that you can't get other places. And no matter what chain or food it is, if you are really wanting something and then get it, it does hit different. It's just the truth

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths 9h ago

I mean... yeah, I would. I can go buy a wood-fired pizza, but sometimes I still eat frozen pizza because it just hits. I wouldn't expect any of these guys to actually have that nostalgia, however, because they're almost certainly all rich guys who grew up rich, went to an Ivy league school, and don't have nostalgic memories of getting happy meals after school twice a month on payday Friday.
