Remember this phrase, because you might want it on your tombstone: "Beef in. Beef out."
That is the message (and actual quote) that McDonald's is trying to send regarding how its burger patties are made. Ever since those pink sludge images went viral, fast food corporations like McDonald's are desperate to assure customers that the food they are serving are in fact not made of questionable materials. So much so that Mickey D's produces their own video series where they take customers behind the scenes to prove, basically, no pink slude here.
The latest video that's part of the fast food company's "Our Food, Your Questions" series takes viewers on a tour of the Cargill plant in Fresno, Calif., via former MythBusters star Grant Imahara.
So you want to know how the beef is made? According to this video, it's quite simple:
The meat is inspected…
Put into a grinder….
Formed into patties…..
Frozen….
And then shipped to your local McDonald's so it can be cooked!
It's simple. Too, too simple!
There are still some questions the video left unanswered:
1. Is this actually how McDonald's makes their beef patties?
2. Where does the beef come from?
3. Is anything added to the beef before it's ground up?
4. What if we want pink sludge added to our fast food burgers?!
Video or no video, pink slime or no pink slime, we're still going to order those Big Macs, double cheeseburgers and whatnot/whathaveyou. We have no shame/pride/standards when it comes to insta-food that's given to us through a tiny window.
And now we're hungry. Lunch time!
