@helenS I was finished with them when I was pregnant (1979) and bought a burger, sat in my car before I went to work and had eaten half and saw that it was raw in the middle. I threw the rest away and was thinking I hope I don’t get that disease from eating raw meat that can brain-damage a baby. A woman who was my neighbor and volunteered at the place I worked told me not to eat there again. Her husband had bought a calf to fatten up to butcher and saw that it had developed a tumor in his face when it was almost ready to butcher. He called out a vet and the vet said it was cancer. The neighbor said he wouldn’t eat it but took it to the stockyards and had the auctioneer announce that it had cancer in the face thinking that a pet food company would buy it because it wouldn’t bring much. He got his auction sales slip back and it didn’t bring much money but it was McDonald’s Corporation that purchased it. There is a butchering facility in Oklahoma City and more recently after that horse meat scandal in the UK a consumer group in the USA started testing meats at various facilities across the USA. This included some fast food companies and also meat processors that sold lunch meats, hot dogs and sausage. They used DNA tests to see what was in the meat and found the facility that McDonald’s used in Oklahoma City was found to have human DNA in the meat. Also found it in some processed meat facilities for lunch meat and sausage etc. in the eastern USA. I won’t step foot in a McDonald’s even if someone else was wanting to go get something for themselves now.

and the story about finding human DNA in the hamburger meat in Oklahoma City meat plant was told on the local news so it’s not an internet rumor.

@cherokeepatti These were horrible stories, and I'm not surprised. Problem is that people think they don't have time to prepare a decent meal themselves. Brainwashed.

@helenS If I don’t have time for myself to cook a regular meal I am perfectly happy to open up a can of beans or scramble a couple of eggs if I need to eat something right away, more real protein in those anyway to satisfy my hunger and I know what I am getting. I have had some on other websites try to tell me that it’s cheaper to eat fast food than to cook food at home. I don’t know how they figure that because every meal I cook I can make for about 1/3 the price of what restaurants charge on average.

@cherokeepatti Bread + olive oil + salt'n'pepper: another excellent alternative to junk food - errrm, I mean fast food.

@helenS I can make a really good Keto bread in my mini waffle maker….have been using it as buns for sandwiches. Probably will make it for lunch today.
