What, no McRib thread?

I sure could go for a nice pulled pork sammich right now.

Shredded McRib meat?

I believe you but without any proof I am going to stop trying to tell other people.

You got to understand that when I say " Some guy on dfwmustangs, who works in the food industry, told me so", they are hesistant to believe me. lol
It is not exactly the best basis for an argument.

You should inform them that we know everything.

I understand. I'm not providing solid proof though, as I like my job

This.

I know, I know.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or what. But Fibrimex is very real, and is used by every major beef packer in America. Those cute little individually packaged bacon wrapped filets in grocery stores, that resemble hockey pucks..... That's made with Fibrimex. It's not a filet, and in a lot of cases, not even tenderloin meat. Fibrimex provides a product that beef packers can use, to turn their waste (scraps) in to profit.

What is the difference between eating said foods and a hotdog or beef log?

90% of the consumer base knows this about hotdogs and beef logs. Only 10% may know that about what they think is a filet mignon.

Which is why if any of this is 100% accurate, is not surprising. Obviously it's not regenerating the black plague therefore you are going to be hard pressed finding anyone that really cares or believes it for that matter.

i'm sure that, in a few years, it will come out that this stuff causes cancer, birth defects, etc...and people won't even know that they've been consuming it until it hits the news.

Millions and millions of people care. Fatasses, obviously don't care. People that care about their health, and what they are putting in to their body care very much. Processed foods are a big no no when truly eating healthy. All of Europe cares, I know use of Fibrimex used to be banned there. I don't know if it still is or not.


I care. I don't eat McRibs, I don't eat Arby's, and I don't eat those crap ass "filets" either. I guarantee you if more people knew the truth behind it, they wouldn't eat certain things.

When it comes to restaurants, there's a legitimate amount of things that happen behind the scenes, that are just flat out bound to happen. Bugs, pesticides, rodents, etc. When you have that much food in one place, it's going to happen sooner or later. And obviously, some places are much better about prevention and maintenance than others. But I firmly believe that more people should be aware of what goes on in processing plants, manufacturing plants, etc. If you, personally, choose not to give a shit, that's your right and your decision. But I do believe everyone should be more well informed, so they can at least make a halfass educated decision on what they take in.

Does anybody else cringe when reading or typing "beef log"?

I couldn't agree more with that point. I've seen it from the transportation side of things, and to be honest it's fucking disturbing.

I'm sure many care, but there are many more who don't. Fatasses or not. The majority may care, but not enough to do anything about it. You'll be hard pressed to convince anyone to stop consuming restaurant food because humans are a reactionary species.
As stated I bet there can be fault found in most any food good that comes from a mass produced source.

I think the very existence of places like Whole Foods, Central Market, Market Street, Sprouts, and the re-emergence of Farmer's Markets disproves that statement. If there wasn't a market for organic, free range, grass fed, and "all natural" these places would cease to exist. Even at the premiums they demand, this natural food thing is booming, and as a result, the cost of organics are coming down.

I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop consuming restaurant food. My livelihood depends on people eating in restaurants. I'm saying people should be more informed, because they have other options, and that doesn't only mean cooking at home.

Sure there can, but again, people have choices. And if more knew the truth behind it, I believe they'd exercise their right to the other available choices. People seem to be waking up as more time passes, with the availability of online documentaries, docs on Netflix, etc; such as Food, Inc, and a whole slew of others.
