McDonalds has pretty low quality meat. If you actually take the time to track where that meat comes from you'd be pretty disgusted. Now I'm no vegan hippie I love my meat (don't be immature) but my girlfriend is into the whole world issues thing and has shown me quite a bit on north american meat industies. Watch Food Inc. it's a really well written and non-biased documentary.
Basically for you biology dweebs out there (I'm one myself), the cows pretty much grow up their shit. There is E. coli in shit; its in everyone's shit. The E. coli in bovine bowels are deadly to humans. The cows enter the slaughterhouse covered in shit and that shit gets everywhere. So essentially, often raw meat from the 13 industrial slaughterhouses in north america have a nice portion of fecal matter to them.Now of course, if the meat is cooked properly every microbe and virus would be denatured but that doesn't deny the fact that that meat has been mixed and rocked with shit.
I still eat fast food every now and then but the further into biology I study the more I'm turned off of like 75% of the food available to us. (The girlfriend adds another 10% of morality)
Just some food for thought hehehehehehehe...
