Someone on here even hard the audacity to tell me its similar to a homecooked hamburger LOL.
That was me. I stand by that, a lot of food people prepare at home is not much healthier. Obviously it is possible to cook healthier food, but most don't.
WOT. If burgers I made at home were as terrible as mcdonalds I'd shoot myself in the face, speak for yourself and stuff. I don't know about you peoples, but food we make at home is usually just as good (if not better) and way cheaper than most restaurants. Let alone fast food..I do not compare home cooked food to mcdonalds though. Fucking ever.
Seriously. I have no idea what this guy is talking about.
Azoth and I can fucking cook, so home cooked meals aren't even remotely comparable to fast food. I think that's the general gist

I explained myself earlier. I'm not comparing it to a best case scenario of the healthiest version of a burger and fries you could possibly cook, but to the food average North Americans cook at home. Yes you can pay extra and buy meat that was grown without hormones and fed all organic, but the vast majority of people do not do this, even if they do buy fairly expensive meat. Yes you could make all your condiments from scratch, but most people buy theirs at a store without reading the label.
McDonalds is obviously not healthy food, but my point in the original thread was that hate for it is disproportionate (compared to other unhealthy food many people eat all the time) because it's so popular. A lot of people rag on it to feel superior to people who do enjoy it (as seen in this thread,) the same as some people do with television. I could rag on people with unhealthy habits I find gross, but putting down people who smoke cigarettes or mainline street drugs of questionable purity to make myself feel superior would just make me look like an arrogant asshole. If you have no unhealthy habits whatsoever then good for you, but somehow I doubt that's true of every last person with snobbish attitudes about what they eat.

Pretty much any meat you buy is far healthier than McDick's meat. Just because it's not hormone FREE doesn't mean it doesn't have LESS.

It's alright if you're in a crunch and really hungry but only every so often. There is no way someone could eat 15 McDonalds burgers in a day I refuse to believe it.. That's so much

The nous is not on me - I'm pretty 99% of people on this board think you're the one making an outrageous claim.

The onus is on you to back up your own claims, regardless of how many people you think are on your side. "Everyone else thinks it's bad too" is a pretty weak argument.
Basically you're arguing that McDonalds meat is worse than other non-hormone-free meat because that meat may contain less hormones. Do the people who grow the cheap ground beef at the grocery store use less hormones just to be nice? Just as McDonalds does, they have an interest in maximizing meat production to keep their costs down. What would motivate the owners of these gigantic companies to use less than what would maximize profits, but not cut it out altogether so that they can sell at a premium as hormone free or organic?
