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

Egonallanon@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoHonestly 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 even bigger.

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.

Will make sure to watch it. Sounds like something more people should do. Thanks!

cows aren’t killed for burgers.

How so?

They’re killed for their crimes against humanity. We just don’t let them go to waste afterward.

burgers are made from less desirable parts. nowhere near the majority of a cow becomes ground beef.

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

In any case it’s despicable.

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

Yeah, I was about to say: if the Village People is the sound of US fascism, McDonalds’s is its flavor.

More its smell than its flavor. Though about half of us are pretty salty about the situation.
