If you thought you were eating mostly grass-fed beef when you bit into a Big Mac, think again: The bulk of a fast-food hamburger from McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's is made from cows that eat primarily corn, or so says a new study of the chemical composition of more than 480 fast-food burgers from across the nation. And it isn't only cows that are eating corn. There is also evidence of a corn diet in chicken sandwiches, and even French Fries get a good slathering of the fat that makes them so tasty from being fried in corn oil. [More] ...

McDonald's Courts Moms As Fast-Food Emissaries (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/19/AR2008111903618_pf.html) ---Quote--- The only obstacle between kids and their French Fries: Mom. So here is Debra DeMuth, McDonald's global nutrition director, mounting a spirited defense of Fries to five mothers of young children at a McDonald's in Baltimore. "They are probably one of the most victimized foods," DeMuth says. Plausible reason: A medium order at McDonald's, besides the delectable taste, includes 380 calories, 270 milligrams of sodium and a color preservative called sodium acid pyrophosphate. But DeMuth presses her case, pointing out that Fries are rich in potassium, adding, "They are also a really good source of fiber." One mom replies, "Once you throw them in grease, you kind of ruin it." Another says, "Potassium is good in bananas." This is the tricky dialogue that results when the world's largest fast-food chain extols the quality of its food to a group of people -- busy moms -- who often need food fast but don't necessarily trust fast food, especially with worries over obesity sweeping the nation. But McDonald's thinks it has a positive case to make and has recruited mothers to go behind the scenes of the company's operations, meet senior executives and then communicate what they see via the Web, along with appearing in video of their travels. The idea behind the company's Quality Correspondents program: ... Source: www.blogpulse.com --- 37 days ago

We've encountered a style of hamburger cookery in the Midwest that we rarely see in the East. Many of these places use fresh, coarsely-ground beef and smoosh it down hard on the cooktop, resulting in a thin, irregularly-formed patty with crisp edges and the chaw of real beef which hasn't been pulverized to a pulpy paste. The Kansas City chain Winstead's makes such a burger. The burgers are not large; we recommend ordering them in at least the double configuration (with grilled onions, please) for proper burger balance. The standard works garnish also includes mustard, ketchup, and pickles. On the side, French Fries and fun-greasy onion rings are available. To drink, get that wonderfully refreshing Midwest treat, a limeade (which is carbonated, unlike lemonade). This is a sit-down place, steps from Country Club Plaza, with waitress service, but priced like your local McDonald's. It feels less like a fast-food chain, though, than a soda fountain (the ice cream sodas and shakes are very popular) crossed with a luncheonette/diner. The chain has changed hands and is now part of a local restaurant conglomerate. Such a situation makes us wary but, unlike old legendary in-name-only relics like, say, Lindy's and Nedick's in New York City, for instance, with Winstead's there actually still seems to be a "there" there. ...

American fast food is almost entirely made of corn mongabay.com USA November 10, 2008 American fast food is almost entirely produced from corn according to a chemical analysis of dishes served at McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Using a stable isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen to determine the origin of molecules present in hamburgers, chicken, and Fries, Hope Jahren and Rebecca Kraft found corn to be the almost exclusive food source of the beef and chicken served in fast food restaurants. The researchers also uncovered evidence to suggest that fast food restaurants are misleading consumers as to the oils used in preparing French Fries and that animals slaughtered for production are kept in confined quarters, rather than outdoors. ... "Fastfood corporations, although they constitute more than half the restaurants in the U.S. and sell more than 1 hundred billion dollars of food each year, oppose regulation of ingredient reporting," the authors write. "Ingredients matter for many reasons: U.S. corn agriculture has been criticized as environmentally unsustainable and conspicuously subsidized. "Of 160 food products we purchased at Wendy's throughout the United States, not 1 item could be traced back to a noncorn source. Our work also identified corn feed as the overwhelming source of food for tissue growth, hence for beef and chicken mea ... Source: obscurestore.typepad.com --- 13 days ago

(Photo by Leonid Mamchenkov ) Today is National Fast Food Day. If you're any kind of a foodie, or subscribe to the Slow Food movement's belief in "counteracting fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions, and people's dwindling interest in the food they eat...," you'll wrinkle your nose in disgust at the idea of celebrating fast food. But as much as we shake our fists at fast food, there's something nostalgic -- even downright pleasurable -- about salty fried chicken , hot potato wedges topped with cheese and bacon bits, or a burger stacked between onion rings and drenched in smoky barbeque sauce. And don't even get me started on McDonald's French Fries -- oh, how I can wax poetic about those thin, salty, matchsticks of heaven! My foodie conscience won't let me go near fast food joints too often, but I figured I could satisfy my cravings by making fast food at home -- the slow food way. If the meat is free-range, the buns organic, and the cheese from happy, freely-grazing cows, how bad could it be? I set out to create my favorite treat: the Sausage McMuffin. From Whole Foods , I procured fresh, loose breakfast sausage meat and lovingly formed it into small patties. While they sizzled in my cast iron pan , I toasted organic English muffins and sliced some local Cheddar cheese . I covered the gloriously-browned patties with the cheese, gave it a minute to melt, and sandwiched it between the muffin slices. It was ... Source: www.topix.com --- 41 days ago

Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good : The taste of a French fry is largely determined by the cooking oil. For decades McDonald’s cooked its French Fries in a mixture of about seven percent cottonseed oil and 93 percent beef tallow. The mixture gave the Fries their unique flavor — and more saturated beef fat per ounce than a McDonald’s hamburger. ... Find more results for McDonald's French Fries on RSSMicro.com |

Filed under: Starbucks (SBUX) , McDonald's (MCD) The world has not been swayed by the coy laugh of organic vegetables, the winsome eyes of local produce, the sparkling personality of grass-fed beef. When money's tight, the world goes to McDonald's for a dollar burger, and maybe a splurge on Southern-style chicken, an opportunity to win big -- or small, that next package of French Fries has to come from somewhere -- with the chain's traditional 'Monopoly' game. Same-store sales were up 8.2% worldwide , with a respectable 5.3% increase in U.S. outlets. McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD ) is still struggling to gain Wall Street approval for many of its recent moves, such as expanding hours and diving head-first into competition with Starbucks, rolling out espresso bars and fancy blended coffee drinks into its U.S. stores. Given some rough numbers from Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) out yesterday, it seems reasonable to wonder whether customers are avoiding the pricey pastries and coffee drinks at Starbucks and heading for the Dollar Menu at McDonald's.
