My dad was a food chemist in the 1970s, he finally quit after they tried forcing him to put cancer causing preservatives and chemicals into commercial foods. As kids we only were allowed to eat fresh farm meats and veggies, milk from a dairy. Btw, please don't let your kids drink Yoohoo or Donald Duck frozen orange juice concentrate. Bad, bad stuff😳!

My Dad lives in Somerset, UK, and has a smashing butcher, one day when we walked in, Dad chose the darkest of the beef and the butcher said good choice, Bob, as it had aged naturally and would be more tender and tastier. The redder the meat does not mean it is better or fresher! 👍👍

US food standards never cease to amaze

I was very upset to learn that a can of maggots that I bought contained traces of spinach. Uggghh.

Consumers have been defrauded for a long time. If McDonald's is beef, salt and pepper. Why doesn't it taste like beef?

No preservatives in mc donalds try putting one of their burgers in your garage come bk 3 months later and not even the bugs have touched it sad but true I tried it

An apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough 😊

I worked at McDonald's in highschool and the fries would come from this fry dispenser you'd pull a lever and fries would dump into a bucket below which was great BUT some fries would fall on the floor and my boss would scrap the fries that fell on the floor even ones that ppl had stepped on off the floor and fry them and serve them...I didn't work there for long man was vile

The FDA has an allowable % of rat droppings and roach particles in hot dogs. Apparently it's impossible to keep the factories rodent and roach free 🤮! Always buy Kosher 👍 Another tip from my dad the food chemist.

I used to work for a company that processed meat for taco bell and wendys. Pretty strict standards. But if a shipment was just 1 degree warmer tgan it should be, it was refused. After refusal, the driver would be instructed to take the meat to mcdonalds, because they would accept it. This happened all the time.

I'll tell you what's disturbing is that they have raised the amount of radiation and heavy minerals in drinking water that scares me

I am outraged to know that I may be buying products with human hair in it, that's really messed up

We have to agree that everything we eat is dangerous

We are amazed that fast food restauranteurs did not use hand gloves for cooking, making, and wrapping burgers. Most germs came from unsanitized dirty hands that contaminated food supplies to serve people to be ill.

Even Russia bans GMO food. Russia said anyone caught poisoning their citizens wilk get the death penalty. Go Russia!!

Growing up in the bush if you wanted fruit or vegetables you grew it meat or chicken you killed it milk eggs etc only thing from town was flour a little sugar but when town got a milk bar it was fantastic it had a juke box Milkshakes, hot chips burgers and steak sandwiches have no idea if there were any preservatives in them but it was absolutely fantastic getting away from parents and chores for a little while looking so cool ( I think)love from Australia Strailya xoxo

I grew up hearing McDonald's burgers were mealworms and nuggets were seaweed. I still said as a kid well it tastes good and its still protein. Lol

If hot dogs take 36 minutes off your life how is hot dog eating champ alive?

In the UK, we get around the Worcestershire Sauce issue by just calling it 'Wuster' Sauce though some may call it Wuster-Sha sauce. I've had many USA trips and American bacon is almost inedible. It's very fatty and here it's called 'Streaky Bacon', and it's the cheaper version than our regular cut, 'Back bacon', which has a fraction of the fat. Many US food products aren't allowed into Europe as they don't pass EU standards, especially with additive levels and 'enhancements'. USA beef, for instance, has too high a hormone and antibiotic level and only organic grass-fed US beef gets in. The chlorine-washed chicken also can't be imported. As another example, the Cadbury Dairy Milk in the USA has a different formula than the UK version. Can't even import a classic to the USA without it getting messed with.

I’m not surprised,most things done fast are not good…I grew up on our farm and so I do understand how food should taste nothing like the old days…👏🏽When shopping at the grocery stores just read the packaging and be careful…😊

Personally I don't enjoy the Macdonalds experience anyway but what is wrong with the way their beef patties are made that means 'You'll never buy again' (according to the first part)? I must have missed something

Surprisingly I don’t eat most of this stuff or drink it

How would you know if the company is lying they could tell you exactly what’s in the meat. However, there could be something completely different, you wouldn’t know.

Can you make a follow up for the Europe? There are different standards when it comes to the food in EU and US, hence your EU viewers would be also interested to know how it looks in EU.

Chicken, Beef or Pork if you fry them up in a pan , you surely will have excessive "water" in your pan, especially ground beef, meaning processed with all those mentioned stuff

McDonald's food does not really taste fresh anymore since they are now privately owned

NEXT TIME WHENEVER YOU BUY PACKAGED GROUND BEEF.. TRY THIS... TAKE YOUR GOUND BEEF, AND HOLD IT UNDER WARM WATER.. YOU'LL SEE THAT THE GROUND BEEF WILL TURN GRAYISH BROWN... COMPANIES INJECT RED DYE INTO IT SO IT IS RED AND IT LOOKS FRESH... 6:43

Man, that bread has really nice hair! I wonder what shampoo it uses.

A few editing mistakes...

Explanation: Cellulose is a carbohydrate and a type of dietary fiber found in the cell walls and woody parts of plants. It's also naturally present in fruits, vegetables, and cereals. However, wood pulp (sawdust) and cotton lint are the primary sources of cellulose used in food manufacturing because they're the most economical. For example, a truckload of logs can produce more cellulose than a lightweight plant like hemp. Trees are also plentiful and can grow in almost any climate and soil, so they're in ample supply near processing mills.

McDonald's- I mean, if you call dead kidnapped sex trafficked children 'beef', then sure, it's beef.

Subtitles got mixed up at number 5.

I was interested in this video I’ve watched some like this one and the same thing happened again 😮!!! I couldn’t watch more than 7 minutes before I stopped watching it. I’m not sure “what and what” I could eat and thinking about it just made me more sicker. It’s 9am where I live and I’m just going to make coffee for myself with milk and sugar only and I only have oranges for fruit right now I think that’s going to be my breakfast lunch and dinner for today! Any ideas??

Former McDonald's employee here. Reason you don't need to be buying McDonald's has their meat don't rot. Along with the rest of their food.

The FDA needs to be shutdown end of story!😡

The dietary information on blue cheese is the same for most cheeses, especially hard cheeses. The only dietary difference is the mould which affects the flavour.

"new ancient species" = Beer? "beer" = hotdogs? 9 "Hotdogs" = Energy Drinks? 8 "Red Products" (Number 4?) = Red Products? 7 (number three?) "blue cheese" = Blue Cheese 6 (number two?) Apple juice = Apple juice 5 (number one?) vanilla products

I wish you can cover such topics more into your content. Infact, please 🙏🏿

Yum yum but one has to live what can we do? You only live once so enjoy foods in moderation. Don't eat 10 cans of Pringles in 1 week, don't eat 7 packages of bacon per week etc etc. Good thing I quit eating mushrooms from a can years ago lol

I had a triple cheeseburger before watching this vid, and 4 minutes in I still haven't seen a single convincing point of "fact" that would make me stop buying more in the future.

So, what was supposed to be so bad about #20, McDonald's hamburgers? We see machines mince beef and shape them into patties. The video says that the burgers have only beef, salt, and pepper. Why am I supposed to be so disturbed I'll never eat them again?

If they're 100% ground beef please explain to me why they don't taste like a ground beef from the you buy at the grocery store

You might want to fix your numbering; it is not lining up with what you are saying.

As a matter of facts many foods above mencioned if you want to homemake it you through the same process. For instance Salted Sardines for one year in salt brine that can be use as anchovies. Garlig, onion, pickles soaked in vinegar for months for preservation , to mention some examples

wow! They say "Ignorance is bliss," I guess they're right!

I'll be thinking twice before I eat any thing again. You are giving me nightmares!!! 😬

I stopped eating at McDonald's years ago

Well, at least fast food couldn't get any worse! Maybe they'll make a beaver-butt burger. I'd try that lol~!

😂😂😂this gentleman narrator was so funny😂😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You want gross? Look up how chocolate and soy sauce are made.

really enjoyed hearing the narrator tackle worsh-tah-sheer...wus-tuh-shy...,_that_ stuff.

Yeah, and the fry grease isn't changed out. Work there myself 😢

I like the voice of that fellow with the Brit accent!🎉

I worked at a chicken slaughter house, they inject chicken with water to make the pieces look better. They say there is no waste but there is a LOT of wasted chicken

I worked at the McDonald's manufacturing company (Finlar Fine Foods) . It is true that they use 100% beef and no secret additives.

Kein Konsum von industriell hergestellten Lebensmitteln und du bleibst GESUND.

FIRE THE FDA.

Well I always knew there was Something Shady about McDonald's

only in America

Sister of the picture< over 30 years ago on "60 Minutes", they talked about worms in the hamburgers...I believe it..A few years ago, McD's was giving free "BigMacs" on a certain day...went and got one...it tasted like crap... I was running a route then, so I gave it to the next dog on my route...even he acted like he didn't really like it..Only go there for a soda..surely they can't mess that up....

I haven't eaten at a fast-food place in many years. Yesterday, a friend and I ate at a local Outback Restaurant. Above my shoulder on the wall was a plaque that explained that the beef used at the restaurant was grain-fed beef from the Mid-west. Why would a restaurant brag on that point? Cattle were never meant to eat grains but grass. Why doesn't Outback and other restaurants that serve beef serve grass-fed beef? Another company, Omaha, which sells meat through the mail, can't hold a candle to organic, grass-fed beef. I e-mailed them once to see if they had any, the answer was, "No."

Ok...if I HAVE to choose the lesser out of all these evils...I choose BACON!😂

OMG that was an eyeopener. No more applejuice for me, amongst other things. 😗😗😗😗

Okay...I'm grossed out now! I may never eat bread again😮

The first one seems to be a promotion for mcdonalds. This is a list of gross processing practices and we get this trojan horse. Clearly they were paid for this. Notice how mcdonalds is also "not using the bread preservative".

Butt-Head: "He's gonna eat a mouse." Beavis: "Heh. And flies." Butt-Head: "And he's coming back later." He done yet? Great. I'll take an order of Hurl Burger, a side of french flies, and a large Spit. Make that a large Dr. Poop, actually

There's a real hot place reserved for bread manufacturers. You'll be eating hair for eternity. Bon appétit.

Not really a deal breaker, food prep around the world is suspect at many levels. International food standards never seem . . standard enough.

I think I'll stick to my diet grilled cardboard and a cold glass of air!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂😆😅🤣🙃

I'm pretty good at figuring out ingredients in food and finally figured out what makes McDonald's burgers taste different than everyone else's. Yes it is made with 100% pure beef it's just not all hamburger. What makes it taste different is there as a percentage of liver added to the hamburger to give it to different flavor check it out and try it at home! They use liver in their hamburger to change the flavor

None of the products you have mentioned phazed me lol.I know that we dont have that stuff fron Beavers in Australia and our hotdogs might have cochineal in the skins but that doesnt worry me.I enjoy watching your downlobads

Well I work for a company that makes burgers for McDonald's and it is 100 percent beef.

The arsenic in apple juice comes from the seeds, wich is the ones that contain it. I almost poisoned myself when i by accident discovered that roasted appleseeds tastes really good, kinda like almonds. Wonderful i thought and started collecting the seed from the apples I was drying. Don´t recall why I decided to look up nutritional value of the seeds, and only the discovered that they contain arsenic. Good thing I hadn't eaten that many before I found out. 🙃

I havent eaten from maccas in years, i cant remember the last time i did.

In 1961, our FFA class toured a meat packing factory in Mansfield, Ohio, where we saw pigs being slaughtered. I won't tell you about that as it was gross. But I will tell you about how they made hot dogs. They took the odd cutting of meat and put them in a huge mixer, then they added fillers with a scoop shovel from a 50 lb bag. and other shovels full of other stuff, unknown. But the man mixing all these things together was smoking and his ashes were falling in the mixer. Believe me that the meat added to the mixer was not more than 30 % of the total stuff added to the mixer. And when he had added all these things together, there was stuff on the floor that he needed to also add, as part of his clean up efforts. The thing that I did not like about this idea was that we all (our Class) had just walked the whole way through the meat processing plant and we had just walked through the very same spot just minutes before, he scooped up the stuff off the floor and added it to the mixer. So, wow, I stopped eating hot dogs after that day.

Turkey's such as America's favorite Butterball, have a lot of brine in them. One year I noticed the turkey we were buying would literally fall off of the bones. It didn't exactly taste like the turkey that we used to eat back in the day either. I looked at the packaging and saw the brine solution as an ingredient. Never again. Fresh turkeys cost more but it's worth the cost.

I only still eat ice cream but with my arthritis I have go quit that to. The rest I am either allergic to or It just doesn't appeal to me.

L15 is an amino acid used to prolong shelf life of products.

In the USMC during my combat tour "In Country" Vietnam I were given C-Rations (cans of various meats and Lord only knows what else! The date on the boxes was 1945! Yes! 1945 the same type of food my Father ate on the Pacific Islands, WWII.

Almost all my products I purchase are from a local former even the meat a lot of these products you have shown do not have that harmful ingredients in it so if I eat it once in awhile it's not going to bother me. One thing I don't eat his hotdog and I always knew what was in it that's one of the reasons why I only have about four per year. As far as the bugs a lot of them are very good for you and are superfoods and have a lot of protein oh and I only eat high-end ice cream so I'm not worried about that product at all

I'll still go to anyone of these I'd normally eat. Just like folks who drink coffee, who use cologne or perfume, or Rocky Mountain oysters.

don't get all crazy on us with wood puip/cellulose. as long as it is labeled and limited in use, it is just plant based product; which is better than many other additives, including some types of meat that are mixed in.

they forgot a major thing about mcdonalds beef ... it is one of the lowesr cuts of beef (or used to be)... the shank. in fact they by so much of that , dogs eat a higher cut of meat than you. im not sure if cats could belong in that group with the dogs.

Wow that’s crazy..I’m totally still buying them.

It’s actually corn starch used in grated cheese to prevent caking and it’s clearly labeled on the ingredients list

I knew that about meat being red: always look for discounted meat that is a tad brown.

20. McDonalds burgers considered bad because a meat grinder is used. 19. Byproduct of human hair in bread. I don't have a problem with this one either. 18. doesn't exist. Their video is also messed up and displays wrong numbers. 17. salt water in chicken and beef. Not too sure, but what can you do? 16. bugs in Jelly beans. A good source of protein, but normally too disgusting to eat. 15. Sheep wool in chewing gum. Gum is not meant to be eaten. Chew and discard it. 14. Carbon Monoxide in packaged meat. Check the smell to confirm it isn't spoiled. 13. Not all Orange Juice is made from oranges. Sometimes it's corn syrup and flavor. 12. BPA in canned tomatoes. It's also found in ALL plastic bottles. 11. Aged Worcestershire sauce of one particular brand. No comment. 10. Pringles made from wheat, rice, and potato flakes. All potato products cause cancer? 9. Bugs in canned mushrooms and cherries. Still safe to eat. 8. Bacon is high in salt and fat. Issues with processing in some brands. 7. Something about fish bladder in beer. So long as it tastes good... 6. Hotdogs are made of salt and misc meat trimmings. 5. Lots of health issues with Energy Drinks. Drink responsibly. 4. Red food coloring is made from a bug. A non disgusting way to eat bug. 3. Mold and high calories in blue cheese. I personally don't eat it. 2. Small amounts of arsenic in apple juice. Drink in moderation. 1. Vanilla flavoring made from beaver butts. It still doesn't deter me.

One of my friends came to The U.S. to visit. He smelled McDonald's and said it smelled like poop. I never noticed till then. .. Peepee smells like spam after a day in a camping bottle. Is spam made out animal bladder, as long with other parts? . Is McDonald's made out end trails?

The last issue is animal treatment. At the end of the day that's all they are created for is food. No one is worried about how the corn or wheat is treated, it's living too!

I do not use energy drinks, chewing gum or jelly beans. The key here is use sense. When in doubt you can check it out.

The question not answered about most of these products is, but is it bad for you?

So why am i not going to eat mcdonalds burgers anymore? 🤔🤣

multimeats in those choppers...soylent green, anyone? been going on for decades. how do you think they dispose of those bodies of the "missing"

I worked at Amourstar where we made Hot Dogs which are gross when made but yummy at the bbq and even though I've seen them made I still Love my BBQ Hot Dogs

Lol the energy drink graphic says hotdogs

A pink slime shake is a great way to start your day!

We MUST start producing our own food if you're not already doing so 🤢

I had a cousin who went through a plant where they made ketchup, never touched the stuff again. 😂😂

L-Cystine is the major reason I seriously look into what bread I eat! If it’s so ok to eat then why get it from “those” countries an not the USA? Nope not for me. An yes I stopped eating bug candy! An it comes from “those” countries again. I have looked into all ingredients I can an yes gum too

My coworker saw a car in front of him hit a raccoon. He stopped and picked up the raccoon and brought it to work with him. We cleaned it behind the shop and cooked it in the breakroom microwave during our lunch break. Just added pepper. Nothing in this video scares me or changes my diet.
