One grilled employee, hold the lettuce...

Oh goody. A McSlave to torment...

: You Sir are a sick twisted individual. If you had half a brain you would be able to do a little bit of research before you make ludicrous false accusations.

Physician, heal thyself?


: Acording to Mcdonalds Nutrition facts booklet (posted in February of 1998) you would be able to see that Mcdonalds' meet is 100% pure beef!

And you would be amazed at what classifies as "beef". Hoof, genitals, brain and tail are all "100% pure beef".

: Also, our meet is cooked until ready everyday and checked everyday to ensure that such problems such as E Coli or Mad Cow disease are prevented.

Shall we look at the evidence, as stated by one of McDonald's suppliers, during the course of his grilling by the McLibel Two?

I quote:

A UK 'McFact' card states: "every consignment of beef arriving at the [McKeys] meat plant is subject to a total of 36 quality control checks, carried out by a team of qualified technologists. If a consignment should fail on any one check, it will be rejected by McDonald's." All the raw beef consignments are microbiologically tested, and categorised as 'satisfactory', 'passable', and 'unsatisfactory'. David Walker (Chairman of McKeys, the sole supplier of the company's UK hamburgers) stated that 'unsatisfactory' relates to beef which has a total colony of more than 10 million bacteria per gram. He then admitted that such consignments are, in fact, not rejected and are used for McDonald's burgers.

Furthermore;

McDonald's have refused to call their own expert witness on food poisoning, Colin Clarke, who prepared a detailed report
following a visit he made to three company stores. The court heard that, regarding the cooking of hamburgers (which he had tested), Mr Clark in his statement "recommends that 73 degrees C be the internal minimum temperature of the final product, and that their temperatures were not reaching that in all cases. The minimum was, in fact, 70 degrees C."

These have been quoted verbatim from the McQuotes page.

These are Mcdonalds-employed people. Your own people. And they're saying the food is not rejected if it contains significant levels of bacteria or is undercooked. You have been contradicted in court by your own expert witnesses. How do you explain that?

: But from what I have read in your article I highly doubt that you even know how to read.

Luke can read. He appears to be able to think independent thoughts, too. Which, I am afraid, you cannot claim to do. The next time you feel the need to shoot your mouth off, do try to check your facts first, not just your "McFacts".

Gideon.
