    Honestly mind boggling that 125 thousand cows are slaughtered each month just to support maccas. Once you add various other places selling beef burgers and other beef cuts and I imagine the number can get a lot bigger

        You misspelled “delicious”. Not McDonald’s specifically, that’s Trump ass sucking garbage.

      Most fast food burgers are made from depleted milk cows, so there’s actually little overlap with places that sell beef from dedicated meat cows

        I have no idea if this is true but it is so genious and calculating that if it is not, i commend you. Wow. You can still call it American (or whatever country you are in) beef and not lie, but it is such shit quality and at such a low price that it has never occured to people. Much like “genuine leather”. Humanity amazes me.

          Yeah, if everyone stopped eating at McDonald’s, supermarket beef wouldn’t actually get cheaper, but dog food would. There are a thousand more tricks and shortcuts like that in the animal industry - I’d really recommend watching Dominion, as it shows quite a few more of those

            Hate to break it to you but your local supermarket and big grocery chain uses cow beef for ground beef also. Same stuff as McDonald’s. You guys are perpetuating old info (circa 2012) that has to do with XF trim and LFTB.

      The other number should be the one that’s mind boggling. We see the number “million” so much and don’t grasp its scale.
