Does this person realize thay you can make more than one burger per cow?
I am enjoying the implication of this. Implying that one entire cow is turned into a single burger
The famous McDonalds quartertonner.
Almost choked on coffee from this
When you look inside a cow, there's actually no burger to be found. There's definitely something fishy.
That’s where the McFish comes from.
And a whole tree is ground down for one toothpick
That’s about 8000-9000 cows per day. The US slaughters nearly 100K per day. So… mcd is fine.
It would be insightful if the math checked out.
You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there's 95M cattle in the US.
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
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

Mcdonalds beef patties?
Or regular?
Coz they are thinner than a pickle slice these days
1/10 lbs patties like they always were
The burgers aren't made from the beef, they're made from all the left shit
McDonald's gets the very last stage of leftover beef from the carcass. If they don't buy it, it goes to things like animal feed.
I don't know how much McDonald's-grade beef is on a cow, but I'm guessing the real numbers are how much non-McDonald's beef people are eating, divided by the average weight of cows
So wrong here. They grind trimmings, the same trimmings that are ground into ground beef that sits in the counters of your local retailer. I sell this shit and can guarantee you the McDonald's system is not my last option, those trimmings all make it into the food supply. Also you can't feed cow parts to food animals ,it's a BSE risk.
Looks like McDonald's changed their sourcing about 10 years ago. Now they use trimmings as you said; previously they used pink slime.
For the record, I never said (nor implied) that it would be fed to food animals. I was thinking more like dog food
They used up to 7% LFTB back in the day. It looked nothing like the emulsified chicken pictured in the articles. It is a wholesome product yet not one I would choose to put in my ground beef due to the amount of connective tissue. You're close to the source, have any questions you'd like honest answers for?

at some point, this person will do the same for chicken. That will be insane
You can get a lot of hamburgers from a cow, but only two breasts from a chicken.
That means for every two chicken breasts you eat, one chicken dies.
Now think about eating the chicken cloaca! Thats a 1 to 1 kill ratio buddy, and let me tell you, I can eat alot of those in a single sitting.
"Who is making all of these chickens???" He muses, while eating his morning omlet...
About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day.
1800km/24hr is 75kph or about 45mph. Imagine a unending line of cows traveling about 45mph into a giant meat grinder.
That is unintentionally a really funny mental image that I could totally see in something like Renn and Stimpy
It is completely depressing that we find this normal

And people complain about vegan food. At least you know what plants your eating. Unlike fastfood.
Are there any cats and dogs around your local MacDonalds? If not, you should be worried!
THEY’RE EATING THE BURGERS!!!
There are no rat problems; only rat opportunities.
They use pink slime for most of their meat.
Well, clearly, you grind up beef chuck to make burgers, Chuck is a diminutive form of Charlie, ergo the libs at McDonald's have been supplementing their burgers with the cultivated remains of Charlie Kirk. The fake moo is all a plan to make everyone go woke by tricking them into cannibalism. Where's my poster board and red string?
This episode of >!Pluribus!< is getting weird.

How big does this guy make his burgers that he needs the meat of more than 1 whole cow to make one? 🤔
It's one of those social media posts to get people who don't think for more than 10 milliseconds riled up.
They eat to grow, they grow to die
They die to be eaten at the hamburger fry
Cows well done
But on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers, came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered and chopped into meat to be cooked and sold by McDonalds.
He didn't ever answer me. Probably in account of the fact that cows don't speak english. It's just as well anyways. It's not like it would have changed anything. It's just cows opinion. It's a moo point.
