Some idiots will think you are attacking McDonald's for making America fat.
IDIOTS! It was an analogy!
OP wanted to say McDonald's does not pay their fair share of tax, hence it doesn't contribute to our society.
I'm tired of explaining the same shit all over again.

Christ, that pic makes me sad-face every time I see it. Those poor kids have zero choice over their diet and are being taught eating habits that will eventually kill them. :crap:
George Carlin once said, paraphrasing
"When you're born you get a ticket to the freakshow. In America, it's a front row seat."
I feel like this entire thread has so many onion layers that nobody fully understands the depth of stupidity and intellect going on here. I keep peeling back another layer and thinking some of you guys are retarded, then genius, then retarded again. This is a very complex thread that's going to require some insight into faggotry for me to fully comprehend. BRB, need to go sit on my construction cone and think for a while.
We all understand the message coming out of OP.
The only guy in this thread who doesn't understand OP is OP.
Enjoy

Welcome to Thank Your Body! Did you know that many of the ingredients found in commercial cleaning and personal care products have been linked to all sorts of health problems? From infertility to cancer, the toxic chemicals that threaten our health are some of the most common things we put directly on our skin! If you are ready to ditch the toxic garbage for good be sure to check out my ebook Toxic Free: 70 recipes for a toxic-free home.
Want a juicy, hamburger? Maybe a cheeseburger… with a 100% beef patty that’s seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, topped with melty cheese, tangy pickles, minced onions, and (of course) ketchup and mustard? Sounds pretty good, right? This is how the McDonad’s hamburger is advertised. Sounds simple enough. And from a real food perspective, it sounds… well, real. But what’s really is in a McDonald’s hamburger?
Ah, I’m glad you asked.
The McDonald’s hamburger deconstructed
A quick look at their nutritional information shows a fairly harmless ingredient list:
Despite what many Americans think, I don’t see hamburgers as the typical “junk food” villain. Under the right circumstances I am totally game for a real hamburger. And by “real” I mean that the beef is grass-fed, the cheese isn’t processed, the bun is sourdough or sprouted, and the condiments are not full of nasty stuff.
- 100% beef patty
- regular bun
- pastuerized process American cheese
- ketchup
- mustard
- pickle slices
- onions
Not too surprising, but the McDonald’s hamburger isn’t quite so real. In fact, you have to scroll down their 30 page nutritional information guide to get the whole scary truth.
Let’s get to it, shall we?
Ingredients for a McDonald’s Hamburger:
100% Beef Patty:
Ingredients: 100% pure USDA inspected beef; no fillers, no extenders. Prepared with grill seasoning (salt, black pepper).
Thankfully, McDonald’s and several other chains recently stopped using the “pink slime” in their beef. But the vast majority of fast food beef comes from CAFO (concentrated agricultural feeding operation) cows. Not only is this horrible for the animals and the environment, but eating meat from sick animals will only make you sick. Eat a McDonald’s hamburger and you might be getting a mouth full of antibiotics, hormones, and dangerous bacteria.
Regular Bun:
Ingredients: Enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, yeast, soybean oil and/or canola oil, contains 2% or less of the following: salt, wheat gluten, calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (may contain one or more of the following: sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide), sorbic acid, calcium propionate and/or sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.
Oh boy. Where do I start? How about we just look at the length of this ingredient list. All of this for a bun? Did you know you can make your own bread using just flour, salt, and water? Seriously. The extra 20 – 30 ingredients here is stuff your body doesn’t need.
Lets look at just a few of the above ingredients:
- Ammonium chloride… sounds tasty right? Did you know it is also an ingredient in fireworks, safety matches and contact explosives? Eat up.
- Ammonium sulfate is used most commonly as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soils. It’s also in flame retardant materials. Ammonium sulfate activates yeast, so it helps to get industrially produced bread to rise.
- The soybean and/or canola oil used here are most likely GMO. They are also foods I generally avoid for a number of reasons.
- The high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), despite the desperate marketing strategies to persuade otherwise, is not natural. And because it’s in so much of our processed foods, not only is it hard to avoid, but it can be doing major damage to your health.
- “Enriched” flour sounds harmless enough. But “enriched” just means that all the nutrition was taken out in the first place. Refined flours are also hard for your body to digest, even before the mess of chemicals are added to it.
OP. You like to call yourself "The low calorie, healthy alternative to guerilla."
Yet, your post is full of fat food made in McDonald's while guerilla sounds lean and healthy.
Could you please change your sig to save your honor?
Thanks.

Done. My sig is also my legal name, so please be respectful. The deed poll gets complex when my sig is an image, but the state is very gracious and understanding.
McDonald's uses baby giraffe meat in their cheeseburgers!!!1!1!!
One internal link on STS should be enough to destroy their SERP's.
