All the food joints have disgusting food. I have a motto “Always prepare your own food”

[kwonexxv]

This is bullshit. .
They prepared for this.

My wife used to work at McDonald's and I used to eat that junk food almost everyday until I could feel that I was not feeling the way I used to feel, I decided to stop eating that food after I felt sweat running down my face just after lifting a dining room chair, that's when I knew that I was sick, I felt much, much better after I stopped and I have no regrets.

Me & my dad still have my science project from 2008, a mcchicken that literally looks new, no mold, no soft spots. Just a rock basically. He used it one time to put a picture on the wall as a hammer, it’s still rock hard

[ijustlivehere]

I stopped eating fast i can see my six pack again.

[Angela-otes]

The fact that it took them so long to reveal what's in their food is the real red flag.

[thefogisgone]

I love how they showed the quarter pounder patties instead of the kids and regular ones.

[stephaniemcphearghuis]

Your not supposed to eat it everyday. Once in awhile is okay and wouldn't effect your health. Sometimes it's good for the soul. Stress can kill you before hamburgers. Just saying. 🤔

[brandontee]

There’s something wrong when the CEOs of the company won’t even let there children/family eat at there own restaurant !! Wake up people !

[Titanic]

Imagine all the dark years before they let anyone in. Still hiding things.

[ammieesparza]

Before McD’s “lifted the curtains” they had to do massive prepping!

[JesusChrist-iqcb]

My question is... Why is the factory so clean, maybe because they knew the camera crew was coming? Yeah, nice try McDonalds.

[dionnefrancis-brown]

The factory cleaned up because they knew the film was coming. If the film crew were to turn up unannounced then you'll see the REAL picture of what the factory is really like.

Bruh i work at McDonald’s i can tell you 100% that the pattys dont look like that💀🤣 looks more genetic modified then that

[ronniepaulinc]

What is added to the 100% beef? We know better so don't lie! Show the entire process!

[NightmareSounds]

My partner and myself have quit eating at McDonald’s, it made a huge difference on how we felt.

[danrussell_official]

“You’re opening your door to us - why?”

Real answer: “we paid for this GMA spot as a marketing tool to attempt to improve our image”

[victoriawilliams]

I remember when when the first McDonals opened in Orange County, CA We were never allowed to eat anything from that food chain, my mother believed it wasn’t the healthiest food even back then. Fast foods were not a part of of diet, ever. I do however remember going to A & W burger establishment once in awhile!

[jasminegreenland]

McDonald's is just a restaurant that kills you slowly with a smile😞

[anneyahgrace]

Where the hell are they getting all that meat from ???? Cows dont even grow and reproduce fast enough to keep up with the high demand !!
