So says my McDonald's bag. Is this supposed to be a funny? Are they trying to say their patties aren't beef per se but their beef is? Or have they just hired Mayor McTautology back to his position as ad exec?

What's beef? Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep
Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets
Beef is when I see you

What's beef? Beef is when you make your enemies start your Jeep
Beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep
Beef is when I see you

i heard an urban legend that "100% New Zealand Beef" ('cos i'm in NZ) is actually a brand/company name, so that's how macdonalds gets away with the slogan "our beef patties are made from 100% NZ beef".

true or false, who cares, it's pretty funny (and rather clever!)

okay using ammonia to disinfect hamburgers of e coli and salmonella is just disgusting.

The company says its processed beef, a mashlike substance frozen into blocks or chips, is used in a majority of the hamburger sold nationwide.

Mr. Roth and others in the industry had discovered that liquefying the fat and extracting the protein from the trimmings in a centrifuge resulted in a lean product that was desirable to hamburger-makers.

School lunch officials said they ultimately agreed to use the treated meat because it shaved about 3 cents off the cost of making a pound of ground beef.

Why is this bolded? Is it surprising or something? Really now.
