McDonald Employees Encouraged to Mention No to Eating Fast Food

Don Thompson said to McDonald’s McResource Line (MRL) website during the investor’s conference, employees are encouraged to mention no to eating fast food. Fast-food burger meat is treated with ammonia as a bonding agent, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The dollar menu at McDonalds contains a side salad as an option that is worth 310 calories. Studies have shown that 1/3rd of children between the ages of 4 to 19 in the US eat fast food daily and fast-food stores closer to schools coincide with overweight children.

The MRL states that fast food contains unhealthy amounts of calories, salt, fat and sugars that ends in medical conditions such as:

• Obesity

• Diabetes

• Cardiopathy

• High blood pressure

The plenty amounts of salad dressing, bacon, cheese, alternative processed additives do not be contributive for a healthy life style, and employees are told to decide on restaurants that offer sandwiches, soups and vegetables as choices.

If McDonald’s staff realizes themselves eating at a fast-food chain, they are suggested to switch fries with a salad, choose hamburgers without cheese and sauces; asking for extra lettuce and tomatoes.

Ironically, McDonalds is pushing their meat products, like the Big Mac and double cheeseburgers, because customers do not seem to be buying enough salads.

At an investor’s conference, Don Thompson according to McDonald’s McResource Line (MRL) website, employees are encouraged to mention no to eating fast food.

This ironic reproof of a corporation to its staff is reminiscent of how Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) does not be served to Monsanto staff in their company cafeteria.

One post on the site reads: “Fast foods are quick, affordable, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are usually high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people in danger for becoming overweight.”

Chief executive officer, explained that salads only make up 2% of their US sales.

Thompson said: “I don’t see salads as being a serious growth driver soon.”

To make certain their margin of profit increases, McDonalds will begin pushing hamburgers and chicken sandwiches to make customers want fruit and vegetables. Because the McWraps have tomato, cucumber slices and shredded lettuce, McDonalds sees this as someway to give customers a healthy choice.

Thompson claims to eat McDonalds “every, single day” while so commenting, “balance is necessary to individuals.”

He remarked that people could eat at McDonalds daily and still lose weight.

At the same time Thompson declared that he has begun physical exercise more and lost 20 pounds,

McDonalds released the Mega Potato, the item on their menu with the highest caloric count. This item is worth 1,142 calories that is over half the suggested calorie intake of an average woman.

Just by glancing at the McDonalds menu, it becomes clear that almost all the items are a minimum of 1,000 calories or more – as in the “big breakfast”.

Perhaps when Thompson said that McDonalds would be selling more fruits, he meant the corporation is the largest buyer of apples in the US.

McDonald’s salads contain cilantro lime glaze and the orange glaze. Inside the glaze lies propylene glycol — a chemical that is not legal to use in cat food because its safety has not yet been tested. In addition, propylene glycol is also used “as the killing and preserving agent in pitfall traps, typically used to capture ground beetles.”

They are also surpassing alternative companies in getting potatoes – that are a vegetable.

Fast-food burger meat is treated with ammonia as a bonding agent, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Ammonium hydroxide used to be in producing McDonald’s hamburgers. The chemical, used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even homemade explosives, was also used to prepare McDonalds’ hamburger meat.

The dollar menu at McDonalds contains a side salad as an option that is worth 310 calories.

The ever-popular Chicken McNuggets contains chemicals like sodium phosphates, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, and salt.

McDonalds, like other fast-food companies have started using polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs) to coat the wrappers they use to help prevent the food from getting soggy from the grease used in cooking. The chemical also causes changes in cholesterol levels, alters sex hormones, and produces tumors, retards brain development, and infant death in animal studies.

The Egg McMuffin is ready with “Liquid Margarine: Liquid vegetable oil and hydrogenated cottonseed and Soybean Oils, Water, partly hydrogenated soybean oil, Salt, Soy lecithin, Mono and Diglycerides, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Artificial Flavor, Citric Acid, vitamin A Palmitate, Beta Carotene (Color).”

The McCafe Mango Pineapple Smoothie is made of: “Water, clarified Demineralized Pineapple Juice Concentrate, Mango Puree Concentrate, Pineapple Juice Concentrate, orange juice Concentrate, Pineapple Puree, Passion Fruit Juice, Apple Juice Concentrate, Natural (Botanical Source) and Artificial Flavors, Contains less than 1% of the following: Peach Puree, cellulose Powder, Pear Juice Concentrate, Xanthan Gum, Peach Juice Concentrate, Pectin, Citric Acid, Colored with Fruit and Vegetable Juice and Turmeric Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Preservative).”
