Ahem, but why in the hell would McDonalds care? It's not like they aren't a multi-billion dollar corporation with stores across the globe? Can anyone say frivolous lawsuit? I'd understand if someone stole their "recipe" or used their logo without expressed permission, but suing someone because they said their food tasted bad is just plain idiotic.

You better not say that. They might sue you too. :D

I think it's because the critic is rather well-known among food circles so he has more influence than the average Joe.

Still, a man has no right to voice his opinions? What kind of world are we living in?

Still, the guy has probably said the food in hundreds of restaurants was crap. He's paid to make judgements like that. McDick's is just being stupid. I agree with the 'why do they care' standpoint. When asked about it, all they have to do is point to their sign that says billions and billions served.

Its dumb, people say their food taste like crap all the time. And just because some food critic says it is crap its not like their buisness is going to drop because of it

Well as in UK health & safety inspections a few years back, significant particles of crap were found in Macdonald's burgers (to the point where the instructions now give the minimum tempreture required to kill e-coli), the food actually is partly shit.

Does McDonalds slaughter their own beef? If not, I'd probably want to find out who their meat processor is and avoid them.

Macdonalds were specifically getting things like the large intestine to cut costs. It's not really malpractice on the part of the slaughter house...

I heard that they buy their meat at auctions (sp?) and that they go for the low grade. I also heard that the meat is soy. Will we ever know the truth, thank you for watching unsolved mysteries :D

People who eat at McDonalds typically do not listen to food critics.

So go and enjoy a big juicy flame-broiled Whopper, courtesy of your local Burger King. The fires waiting, so have it your way!

Uhhhh, did anyone read the part at the end of the Article?
"The fries that are said to taste of paper are thrown away within five minutes of being cooked if they have not been served and the oil is changed regularly."
Way to destroy your entire case their, you think they could buy better lawyers.
