Fast Food "restaurants" should be free from lawsuits forever

Big Mac sued for having milk, wheat in french fries

BEIJING, Feb. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- At least three people in the United States have filed lawsuits against McDonald's, related to its disclosure last week that its french fries contain wheat and dairy products.

Debra Moffatt of Lombard, Illinois seeks unspecified damages in a suit filed on Friday in Chicago. Her attorney said his client has celiac disease, which causes gastrointestinal symptoms set off by eating gluten, a protein found in wheat.

Also on Friday, Mark and Theresa Chimiak of Florida allege in their suit that their five-year-old daughter, Annalise, became seriously ill from eating the fries because she has an intolerance to gluten.

On Wednesday, Nadia Sugich of Los Angeles sued McDonald's, saying she is a vegan and would not have eaten the fries if she had known they contained dairy products.

The fast-food giant, which previously said its fries were free of gluten and milk or wheat allergens, quietly added "Contains wheat and milk ingredients" to the french fries listing on its Web site.

McDonald's said on Feb. 13 that wheat and dairy ingredients are used to flavor its fries. Jack Daly, McDonald's senior vice president, said the company is testing its fries for gluten through a food allergy research program at the University of Nebraska.

Earlier this month, McDonald's also acknowledged that its fries contain a third more trans fats than it previously knew, citing results of a new testing method it began using in December. Enditem

So lying's OK if you're selling unhealthy food?

Agreed, they said it was gluten/dairy free and it wasn't. It's not like it's the first time for McDonalds to f*ck up like this. They used to cook their chips in beef lard- in India. Morons.

[ohio]

Sorry Opie, this one isn't about them being fattening or unhealthy. For someone with allergies, if they specifically said the fries were dairy and gluten free, this is really dangerous and negligent.

I do find it funny that a vegan was eating McDonalds though. Ooh, ooh, I'm so careful about what I put into my body, and I'm so against the needless slaughter of animals, but I'll go eat french fries made from the vile-est synthetic **** from a company that slaughters more beef than any other institution on Earth.

Oh you bltch. You beat me to it.

It's like the fatass hippy chics I knew in college that were vegans. Soooo concerned with fruit of the earth goodness for their bodies but ignore the fact that their 300lb fupas were more detrimental to health than a piece of turkey. Mm carob candy is sooo good for me.

In defence of McDonalds, I doubt anyone who works there has any idea what gluten, milk, or wheat even look like. So by saying they didn't have it wasn't lying if they had no idea what it is.

My wife has Celiac's disease. Her brother has it very, very bad...he's got what amount to not-quite-Parkinsonian symptoms from it, since the neurologists didn't diagnose him correctly for over a year once it manifested itself.

He'd feel like ****, and go home and have a pizza and a beer and try to feel better. Now we call him 'hopalong.' He's still got a loss of coordination and his speech is still a little wierd, but he's coming along and feeling better. He still won't play football or anything, anyhow.

And Stephanie loves Guiness, far more than McDonald's fries. How much of a tragedy is THAT? (She still has one every year on her birthday, though...her case is far milder than her brother's.)

So yeah, **** McD's if they're not gluten-free...on more than one desperate occasion, Steph's had an order of them for dinner.

I find it sad/funny that people actually think that anything at McDonalds is what they say it is. Does anyone really think that the french fries are merely cut potatoes? Or that the meat contains only meat? (Or only one type of meat?) Who knows what the hell is in the sauces and "cheese".

Personally I don't trust fast food places. I eat at them but beat myself up for it after and really do try to not eat fast food if I can avoid it.

I took a couple of nutrition classes in college. Scared me right off of fast food and junk food for about a year. Made me realize that fast food ain't food.

Actually, they have some very high-tech chemical labs working to make their products taste good to a large range of people. They are well aware of the ingredients they put into their products. The person behind the counter might not know jack, but the corporate office does.

Similar to a double chin, its like a double gut. A common occurance on many fat chicks. This characteristic is brought out by those who try to wear the tight black sorriety girl pants, but are too fat.

Ahhh. My appologies. I don't have the latest edition of that dictionary. It is still more prevelant on the females of the species as the males generally have a big stomach and then the belly crease where it folds over, similar to sagging boobies. There is just something about the fupa on a girl that just draws your attention and you can't help but stare.

I side with DEF on this one. The FUPA (or GUNT, as it is sometimes known) is definitely located lower than can occur on men, and is heavily accentuated by low-cut designer jeans and high-cut baby shirts, which every girl over a buck fiddy seems to have convinced themselves they look just like Christina Aguilera in. On girls with even a vague sense of reality, the FUPA is often accompanied by the SOFA (sweater-over-fat-ass).

[dan-o]

Is the phrase 'muffin-top' the same as FUPA? How could something so right, the low rise jean, go so wrong?

[ohio]

Is the phrase 'muffin-top' the same as FUPA?

Hmmm... I don't think they're the same. Though I've given one a good feel, I've always imagined the FUPA being sort of firm... like the fat is deep down (in their souls). A muffin top is squishy surface fat that gets mooshed out. A FUPA is impervious to mooshing. Also FUPA is always in the front, the muffin-top is generally more towards the sides like love-handles, no?

A disturbing but totally logical analysis.

Of course it's in the pants. Hence the pubic part. I don't know where your pubic bone is but mine is definitely below the 14k gold lifesize replica of dolly parton's head belt buckle.

[MikeD]

Sometimes, the FUPA surpasses boundaries...it's often both above and below the belt, which is typically tight enough to squeeze it into a delicate hourglass shape , with some spillover coming back down from the top.

There is the odd phenom of "fit-fupa," as I've termed it, which you see on some athletic chicks, or yoga chicks...a very hard, firm abdomen, which just sort of sticks out, often clad in tight black pants with a slight flare at the leg. Starts at everyone's favorite place, then just heads forward and up in a smooth, muscular arc. Often tipped with a cameltoe.

I have always heard that McDonald’s is among the worst in terms of meat quality. I have no idea what is in their meat, and I don’t think the world is ready to find out. From what I understand, Jack in the Box and McDonald’s get their meat from Australia—which is where the kangaroo meat rumor came from in the early 90s.

One thing is for sure, McDonald’s “hamburger” and “sausage” patties don’t quite look right.

The McRib is the one item that really scares me...

[kidwoo]

..

I don't know about sourcing but Jack in the Box took over their own meat packing back when they almost went out of business from the e-coli deal in the 80s. They actually rank as the cleanest in the country.

It's still fast food and is by no means healthy or anything but that's one in particular that you can be less skeerd of.
